today they dropped an article with some important information as it regards to the future of madden NUMBER_TOKEN and franchise mode now of course i will have their stuff linked below in the description their article i believe they probably at this point have put a video up on it as well so you know go show them some love because they did break this news as far as i'm aware of so basically i'm gonna read what they put on their site here and it says if you've been patiently or impatiently waiting for the next major updates and franchise mode for madden NUMBER_TOKEN you may want to sit down for this the updates are not coming basically ea has cancelled all of the future madden NUMBER_TOKEN franchise updates now yes they did deliver the scouting overhaul that was the first big update but just like for madden NUMBER_TOKEN they were supposed to have three post-launch title updates focused just at franchise mode now i think most of us knew that after the scouting overhaul that was going to be the big and most important one they were going to have a couple of other ones that were probably going to be smaller things there wasn't going to be anything big or overhaul but there should have been some tweaks there should have been some smaller things implemented just like they did for madden NUMBER_TOKEN after the uproar of how far behind franchise mode has been well they've canned that for this year and one of the main reasons for that is because they've taken a lot of the developers off of madden specifically in franchise mode and have moved them over to the new college football game that they are developing it says here in the article according to sources close to the game's development ea sports has made the decision to cancel the plans for the remaining two large in-season updates for the mode this comes just under two months since the game's scouting update the first of three planned feature improvements to the mode was released to everyone the decision was made to cut the plans after moving a portion of the madden development team over to the ea sports college football game that's currently in development because of the staff moment ea sports decided to put more focus on madden towards year-over-year development now year-over-year development realistically is what they should be doing every year not only just for franchise but for the whole game but what they tend to do and what they tend to sell us is that hey you know we've done as much as we can do up until release but hey don't worry madden is a live service and we're going to give you all these updates and different things throughout the year which in my opinion i wasn't really that against it because i said well you know at least you can get new things throughout the year the game that you bought continues to get updated and i don't think that's a bad thing but a lot of people said no just put everything in at launch or as much as you can and put more in at launch so you don't have to update it throughout the year well that's not what they've been doing for the past few years and they've been selling us live service and granted they have been giving us some of that live service they have been giving us some of these updates but they've been failing on some other ones last year in madden NUMBER_TOKEN they didn't give us really any post launch playbook updates they didn't do much with equipment like they alluded to they only updated the x factor and superstar players once when the year before
