There is some big news coming to franchise mode in Madden 20! A new development trait called, “X-Factor” will be added to the game and it is the highest development trait you will be able to get.
There are 4 development traits this year: Normal, Star, Superstar, and X-Factor. Both Superstar and X-Factors players can earn Superstar Abilities, but only X-Factors can earn Zone Abilities.
If you draft a player with Superstar ability or above, the exact development trait won’t be revealed until a little later on in the career of the player.
“One more draft surprise is that rookies with a Superstar Development or higher trait will have their development trait hidden until they’ve played through at least half of a season. These players have their abilities hidden until you reveal their Development Trait. This means that if you draft either a Superstar or an X-Factor Superstar you won’t know exactly what you’ve drafted until later in a season – use your preseason wisely.”
The other big news related to franchise mode is that players can no longer drop down in development when they have a disappointing season.
Much needed updates to the progression system were also added.
“We’ve overhauled our progression tuning, including making changes to XP gains from weekly training, actions on the field, and goal completion. These changes should ultimately lead to users being able to increase the OVR of more players on their team meaning they have more option in how to develop their roster.

I AGREE!!!!!
create a play…..is what I missssss the very most!!! AND definitely coordinators and position coaches with perks is the other one I would like to see in Franchise Mode.
I think it should have defense assignments and commentary to talk about everything and news paper articals on each team every week in franchise mode and show the half time talking about the game
Haven’t played Madden for years as it sucks now
Bring back create a play (madden 2001)
Bring back challenges “red flags” during game
Bring back export a team and make online and off line
you can already check those records in CFM
Same game since 05.
Ratings don’t matter. All that matters is Speed every year. 90% don’t even show up in game. Game is broken
LMFAO. I won’t be expecting much. This is the only way to avoid massive disappointment. Let’s be honest, when was the last time you felt like you got something new for your money when purchasing a new Madden football game?
Bring in the aspect of the combine. To get a better understanding of some of the players or private workout of players you are targeting for the draft. Also, with create-a-player for franchise mode have your player go through about 3-5 combine drills to improve their draft stock. With the draft, add some type of animation for some of the top players in the draft. If you win the super bowl in franchise mode, have like a parade for the team and some events they attend.
Unlike the rest of these negative Nancy’s, I’m actually excited at the new additions to franchise mode. It’s been so long since they’ve cared about franchise, these additions are nice to have.
