Madden NFL 22 has a better Franchise mode than its predecessor, or at least that’s what EA Sports wants to achieve with this year’s game. The promise comes from executive producer Seann Graddy, who also spoke about the latest update to the Madden NFL 21’s franchise mode, which begins this week with a number of notable changes. This is a mode that has not been particularly well received.
For Madden NFL 22, Graddy said in a blog post: “In Madden 22, the work is well underway. We are gathering input from a number of sources to ensure we deliver a franchise experience that our fans want. It includes feedback from you in, the community; [and] of course our Game Changers, and the many passionate Franchise fans working in the development team. ‘
“The franchise community remains incredibly important to us. On behalf of the entire Madden NFL Team, we can’t wait to share with you what we’re working on for Madden NFL 22.
