Player progression is garbage

I didn't know why people hated Franchise mode

The MyLeague mode in that Mut 21 coins is amazing. I can't even express in words how blown away I was by the quantity of depth, the amount of detail, and the amount of customization that's available. It's unreal. You can do anything which you could imagine, and there is stuff in there that I didn't even know I wanted in Madden. Retiring jersey amounts. A style where you call plays and make adjustments. Customizable jerseys - I suggest you can make ANYTHING you can possibly come up with. Hell, you can even customize the stadium you perform in and what sorts of sounds play from the speakers during specific events.

This sport has more jumbotron choices than Madden has relocation teams that are pre-built. I can not even fathom how amazing it would be to have this level of depth and customization at a Madden. It is so disappointing going back to Madden and seeing what it's like. Man, I truly hope we can see a Madden one-day like 2k. I know some older Maddens had light years more customization than it does now, but man, 2k20 was a real eye opener to what's possible.

What is crazy is every time that I talk to people that play 2K and not madden about how dope the 2K franchise is, they think that it is not something special. It true if you do not compare it to madden tbh. 2k has put out the exact same MyLeague over and over again for years and have not fixed gamebreaking problems with it. The same as Madden the cpu can't manage contracts for shit so 99% of the nba is 70 million at the luxury tax after two seasons. Free service is stupid. Bol Bol played his rookie year on my group, did not play a single minute, and asked for 25 mil who offseason.

Player progression is garbage. It's one hundred percent according to a players"potential feature" instead of production. 2k has great depth but the basics are so fucked the game style becomes a shitshow following like 2 seasons. Do not even mention that the glitch where centers will not sign with your staff and ask for literal billion dollar contracts that has been in the game for 5+ years. But the difference is that you may adjust salary and luxury size and even how much the players request to paid.

How much each single attribute progresses/regresses, how every stat simulates, player tendencies, alter rules and even how valuable picks are to groups. In Madden you are stuck with contracts that are broken and CPU, in 2k you can help manage that, hell in Madden the cap doesn't even increase from year to year, have RFAs, tenders, exceptions etc.. The difference between the two could only be appreciated if you have tried to play with the buy Madden 21 coins franchise.
