The Madden 24 When Is It Safe To Start Your Franchise thread

[sadler]

Here we are again, game not ready on launch.

This thread is for us franchise players that want to start but can’t.

Issues that are making it unplayable:

Home field advantage isn’t turning off even if OFF in settings. A patch will fix this but we don’t know if that applies to existing franchises.

Created draft classes are completely broken. All players revert to the same default model.

Generated draft classes are broken, sapien player models are random and don’t match the players position. Physical features are broken.

Week 1 rosters are not yet released. (Obviously this is a user preference).

These issues for me prevent the mode from being playable for now. Will update as things become fixed.

I haven't seen an issue with generated draft classes outside of a few players. Am I missing a thread somewhere about them being completely random?

Player builds are random so a QB can look like a lineman and vise versa.

Yeah, I've seen the one or two off posted online. Haven't seen it widespread in my 3 classes so far.

I’d check again.

Just simmed a season using default generated draft classes and looked through all the players.

First team I picked at random was the Raiders.

220lb QB looks like 330lb
330lb LT looks like the QB

Every team I look at it’s the same. Body types are random.

Just played with the generated QB.

Seems to be an issue with gut size and that being bugged (assigned randomly). The QB has the gut of a 330lb linemen but his legs/arms etc look ok.

More testing…

My 323lb generated linemen had a very thin waist. I dropped it to 322lb and his waist increase to a normal size. I was then able to then put it back to 323 and it was fine.

I then tried to alter my 220lb QB by messing with his weight slider. Didn’t work. His gut is set to maximum and nothing will alter that even putting his weight to minimum.

The whole thing is broken.

I kind of chuckle at the “what are you doing when you first get the game” treads and folks talk about creating rosters, jumping into their franchise and all that stuff.

After 20+ years, i just don’t know what to tell you if you continue to think you’re getting a “playable” game at launch. But here we are again.
