I'm now well into my first season playing Franchise Mode and love this game. I enjoyed Madden many years ago but just hadn't picked it up in a long time. Being a Chiefs fan definitely gives it an extra boost. It's been a tedious process building my playbook with plays that I have trust in, still working on that but at this point I consistently drive for touchdowns and winning by a couple of scores, albeit on the "Pro" level, which I think I used to play "All Pro". Kinda funny my team has the #1 defense in football, and Isiah Pacheco is the baddest ass RB in the NFL, although now he's hurt so it's all McKinnon.
Kadarious Toney has been a monster. I'm able to hit him and kind of throw him open on those deep drag routes across the field for big plays.
It really is true that Madden no longer allows you to just mash the same few offensive plays over and over. They will just blanket cover whomever you've been hitting. I notice a sharp change usually at the beginning of the second half. Whatever plays I was roasting them with first half no longer work, or are at least a lot more risky.
I am able to mash the same over-aggressive defense over and over, though, without too many negative consequences.
