Thought I'd get a temperature check to see what people think the over/under is on the number of new features in '23 for Franchise. In 2021, SDS did a ton of work to bring us... Player Metric 1.0 and the epic depth returned from previous years. After doing too much in '21, the team needed to narrow the amount of Franchise improvements because player metric 1.0 was just too much for one year so they brought us... yes, you guessed it correct. They added Player Metric 2.0 in '22. I'm going to set the over/under at 1.5 features being added. I'm going under but will happily be wrong, but come on, it's been like 5 or 6 years since the mode saw any noticeable improvements.

Does PLAYER METRIC 3.0 Count? lol
Updating MLB rules and then using them as bullet points for franchise mode upgrades doesn't count either.
I have a feeling that the only feature they consider an "UPGRADE" will be what they mentioned with the draft. Which really? The MLB draft has to be the most uneventful pro sports draft there is so the fact that it's the only feature they mention is confirmation that the rest of the mode received nothing.
New features- 0
Refreshing an already existing mode is not new.

I'd give them one feature if the draft is a noticeable change. If it's just a small tweak then I'd have a hard time giving them that. And no, no shot I'd say it's a franchise feature for making the rule changes either. I'm holding out hope that the Draft was the big one but that they'll add more. Not that I'm expecting it either given SDS's history.

It'd be really, really sad if all they did in the last three years was player metric 1.0, player metric 2.0, dust off an old depth change that has no functionality, and revised the draft. At least add in a bunch of small fixes, there are endless small opportunities to improve franchise mode as well.

When you are using Dynamic.
Try going to your sliders once you reach Veteran +.

Than move your dynamic hitting slider to the left.
Basically shutting it off.
Play 20 franchise games there and check ur averages then.
That might become your sweer spot.

Yeah myself and a few friends from work play connected franchise on madden every year. We were laughing histerically when we read that EA had that data loss and crapped out on 60% of their entire franchise base. I was so glad I didn’t give EA my money.
