Franchise mode is a big focus this year with assistant coaches and skill trees and more storylines.

I know you've got an NDA and we all know EA is on these boards non-stop seeing what our opinions are, but do you feel it is an upgrade from previous franchise modes?

Playing the beta as well. PS5 controller is sweet.

The interface is not my favorite but I'm really liking the franchise stuff with my brief time with it. Time will tell if all of it works over multiple seasons, but they have definitely listened to the franchise players, finally.

Gameplay feels smoother overall, at least on "performance" mode, some new intros and stuff but player models look the same as M21 with maybe a bit more pop to them. (I didn't notice much of a graphical difference between performance mode/enhanced visual mode)

I don't want to play it too much as I want some surprise when it's actually released, but it's a purchase for sure for me.

How so? additional features?

Can hear the foot steps of the running back. Can feel the umph of the tackles. Can hear the QB go through his pre snaps. Can hear the refs on the penalty calls.
