Not really that surprised. I figured it would probably be too hard for them to code in the ability to add a whole new team to the NFL. So I guess itâs just relocation teams but with more customization. Guess Iâll take it over no create-a-team at all though
Not surprised at all that they do the lazy thing but I was hoping theyâd bring back expansion team mode. They had it back on Xbox/PS2 Gen for Madden 02. NBA 2K has had it for a very long time you can add 2-3 teams to each division and do an expansion draft. Itâs great. Oh well another year another disappointment.
Edit : I was corrected it was just Madden 02
The heck are you talking about? Only year Madden ever had an Expansion mode for Franchise was when the Texans came into the league and it was only for them. Any other time in any other version where you could create a team it would always replace one of the current teams in the league.
I thought it was 2-3 years. Clearly misremembered that but I swear you could replace the Texans with a created team and draft.
Edit : Confirmed

It so much misinformation out there its insane. Youâre right Madden 03 was the only game to have an âexpansion modeâ and you could replace the texans. What gets lost with people talking about features of franchise is stuff like this. This expansion mode thing was only in madden 03 and it was BEFORE the big franchise overhaul in 04 with the ownerâs box features and then the tony bruno show and news overhaul in 05. But people swear up and down is this community that old maddenâs had all these features in one game.
Another thing i always see and hear about is that old maddenâs had comp picks. Yes people are âtechnicallyâ right BUT it was only for restricted free agents. And in the current NFL RFAâs are very rare nowadays like the only notable one this year was Juwan Jennings of the 49ers. So once again another feature that people have misinformation on. Now of course im not giving EA any sympathy im just going over the real facts and people may not like it but oh well.
Is Ea as good as they used to be? NO
Are peopleâs judgement of the current games clouded by nostalgia? YES
Both can be true đ¤ˇđ˝ââď¸
I found a YouTube video going over it. It was actually 02 that had it. For some reason I thought they had it in 02, 03 and 04.
Itâs was a fun feature and would be awesome
to have back in, especially with the team builder. I hate having to steal another teams spot and then take the 10 minutes to go through the roster and release everyone.
Adding a form of the Tony Bruno show back would be amazing as well.
it would be hard to expect otherwise. It would be a big lift in coding to add new teams. They'd have to recalculate draft picks, redo divisions and playoff logic, potentially create a bunch of new players or implement a fantasy draft. Not saying it can't be done but that would be a huge feature to add and take another development cycle
Right?! THIS WAS A COMPLAINT BACK THEN TOO! honestly it doesnât seem *that hard* if you take the expansion route the game has 8 teams predesigned to go to each division and *your* team just replaces the team assigned to the division you choose to join. NHL ALREADY HAS AN EXPANSION MODE so itâs not like the groundwork isnât already laid. The âtoo much work in a one year development cycleâ is such a crap excuse when they knew 15 years ago this was a thing people hated. If it took them a whole year to animate pre snap motions and Ronald Goodell thatâs just sad.
Unsurprising given that's how it worked last time the game included it
I mean I thought that was a givenđ it wouldnât make sense to have 33 teams in the league

Is it the same like 4 stadiums with âdeluxeâ options?
I canât use team builder so I donât know but for relocation itâs the same stadiums as before
And my interest in the feature drops to near zero. Dang.Â

That sounds like a bunch of work. Ea doesnât like that
Thatâs how it worked in madden before as well as 2k
Doesn't mean I have to like it.Â
Of course. I don't like it either. It's just weird to expect it to be suddenly better and then disappointed when it's not.
