Madden 21 Wishlist: 10 Things We Want To See

2. Create-A-Team

Madden 12 Create A Team
EA Sports

In Madden 20's Franchise mode, players can choose to relocate their team to another city and choose from a number of pre-designed replacements in San Diego, London and other places. Whilst this is a ton of fun and can shake up the mode season-to-season, it's also a poor substitute for a fully-fledged Create-A-Team engine.

That screenshot up there? It's from Madden 12.

Yes, it was possible to create your own teams from scratch in EA's series nine years ago when that game launched in 2011, but apparently not now. It's not much to ask that the developers put this suite back in and let fans from areas that, y'know, don't have NFL teams live out their franchise dreams.

Maximum Football 2019 has a creation feature, so why not Madden? EA are being shown up by a shoestring budget release when they're a AAA blockbuster and should know by now that customisation is everything to some gamers.
