Madden 21's last round of Franchise fixes rebalances trade logic

Madden NFL 21's developers will start, on March 4, the final of 3 rounds of Mut 21 coins upgrades promised for the game's Franchise mode. Although very granular and specialized in the areas they address and improve, the upgrades still answer long-running requirements from Franchise lifers who felt the newest game did little to enhance the core mode.

Central to the changes on deck is a reworking of the match's player-trading logic, and the total player valuation that behavior rests on. The modifications EA Tiburon's designers described in a blog post on Wednesday are supposed to make transactions to get superstars"nearer to what we have seen [in real life] based on changing perceptions of'realistic' trades over recent years."

This means fixing inconsistencies and issues in which highly rated players were inexplicably less appreciated by CPU teams. For example, a talented player who was not a newcomer on his previous team, but would be a newcomer to the one being offered, was regarded as a backup-level value by the old trade logic. Middling-rated players could occasionally get one-for-one trade value with stars simply because both were in the very top of their various teams' depth graphs. Now the CPU will either expect more in the trade, or just refuse such offers.

In other circumstances, gamers whose archetype did not fit with cheap Madden 21 coins the playbook scheme of their present team (a power running back, by way of example, in a system constructed for receiving backs) are undervalued when put on the trading block, also. Both these incongruities are resolved with the patch, EA Tiburon said.
