Franchise mode is extremely shallow and dull unless you’re playing with some buddies. It’s not set up to enjoy by yourself but I know some guys still enjoy it.

I dunno, I enjoy playing the games, trying to make the playoffs, and building the team in the offseason. I've had a ton of fun playing solo franchises.

I don't find myself needing manufactured storylines, offseason shows, etc. Maybe that's just me. If that stuff was in the game, I'd ignore or skip it, just like I do the halftime show.

Position battles, Restricated FA, hold outs, an actual complex scouting system (it doesn’t even have to be complex just don’t give me the attributes), gameplanning, etc.

I mean there’s no defensive or offensive coordinators in the game. When the home team is being blown out, the crowd is still there cheering. I could go on.

Eh....you could go on and I would remain unimpressed. I don't give a shite about the crowd.

I’m notorious for missing FGs. Especially within 40 yards. Guy in my league thought I was taking it easy on him cuz I missed a 35 yarder and almost shanked a PAT. I told him “this is pretty normal.” though from 58 yards and I need max power and perfect accuracy? I can do that.

I finally had to bite the bullet and just start playing MUT. I put a lot of hours into franchise mode last year with the expectation of there being improvement in this year's mode. When I played this year's and saw that that there were literally no changes of consequence, it just couldn't keep my attention.

Give me some sort of meaningful coaching carousel with coordinators, more realistic player generation (Are there really 10 receivers with 96+ speed every draft? There should be 1-2 guys with that kind of speed, max), and some sort of depth when it comes to scouting players, and maybe we'll talk next year.

This. For the love of god focus on ramping up Franchise Mode with 19. It’s my favorite mode over the years but it’s gotten so damn boring.

Also how awesome would it be if you could import draft classes with real life players that the community made like you can in 2k? Why the hell isnt this an option? I would never put the game down.

Well I bought the game and I really like it but god damn why am I fumbling and getting hurt so much?

Demarco Murray has fumbled 4 times in two games and Mariota a couple times and I'm holding R1 just before and when being tackled

How do you slide as a QB? I know that would help with Mariota's


I've turned the sliders down to like 10 for both injuries and fumbles and it's still happening, that is the correct direction to lessen them correct?

Pissing me the frick off

ETA: APPARENTLY after a quick google to lessen the frequency of things you have to turn the slider UP. I don't ever remembering it being like that and they could have just explained that in game but oh well, least I figured it out


ETA2: after even more reading APPARENTLY I haven't figured it out and also apparently nobody else really has either. What a ridiculous mess
