↖ Setting Up Your Franchise

The foundation of a successful franchise mode starts with proper setup. After all, a well-structured franchise lays the groundwork for a rewarding gaming experience. When beginning your Madden 23 franchise, there are several key decisions to make:

 

Online vs. Offline Franchise	Decide whether you want to play an online or offline franchise. Online franchises offer faster simulating times, but personal preference should guide your choice.
Choosing Your Team	Pick the team you'll lead to victory. Keep in mind that different teams have varying starting points, strengths, and challenges.
Customization	Customize your franchise by selecting your role. You can be a head coach, player, owner, or even control a single player's career.
League Settings	Adjust league settings according to your preferred difficulty level, game style, and other factors. Remember that these settings will influence the overall experience of your franchise.

 

↖ Scouting for Success

Scouting is an integral part of franchise mode, as it allows you to identify and draft the best players for your team's needs. Follow these steps to maximize your scouting efforts:

 

Hiring Scouts	Choose scouts with expertise that complements the strengths of the draft class. Assign scouts to different regions based on their expertise and the draft class' strengths.
Focus Scouting	Set your focus scouting for specific positions within each region. Align your scouts' expertise with these positions to gather more detailed information.
National Focus	Designate a national focus position for your top scout. This position should be the most crucial need for your team in the upcoming draft.
Weekly Strategy and Staff Management	Regularly manage your staff, formation subs, and auto subs to optimize your team's performance.
Skill Trees	Prioritize upgrades in the skill trees to improve your team's development and overall performance. Focus on key areas that directly impact player growth.

 

↖ Dominating Free Agency

Madden 24 introduces a revamped free agency system that adds a new layer of strategy. Here's how to make the most of it:

 

Understanding Player Interest and Motivations	Pay attention to a player's interests and motivations, which influence their willingness to sign with your team. Offer contracts that align with their motivations to increase your chances.
Negotiation Strategies	When offering contracts, choose between team-friendly, neutral, and player-friendly options. Adjust the contract values based on the player's interests and motivations.
Evaluation Periods	Utilize the evaluation periods during each stage of free agency to gauge player interest. This provides opportunities for negotiation and securing top talent.
Improving Motivations	As your team's success grows, player motivations and interests will change. Building a contender and adding mentors to your positions can attract higher-calibre free agents.
