Madden 23 is releasing more and more content leading up to the official release date. Not the least of which includes their most recent Gridiron Notes, highlighting some major changes to the ever-popular Face of the Franchise mode. So in this guide, we’ll be sharing what to expect from the major changes you’ll see in Face of the Franchise: The League.
New Position: Cornerback
You can now choose between five positions for your player: quarterback, running back, wide receiver, linebacker and cornerback. The first four were options last year, but cornerback is a new choice. This may be the hardest position to master in the game mode but also one of the most rewarding.
Player More Flexibility
Madden 23 will move away from last year’s level-able classes and focus on position-focused progression instead. Rather than being pigeonholed into football archetypes, you’ll be able to create your player how you want. This allows for more flexibility and customization.
Player-Locked
As you dive into the action, one of the biggest changes you’ll notice is the introduction of true player-locked gameplay. While operating solely out of the shoes of your created player was always an option in previous years, now you’ll be committed to mastering your position and relying on your teammates to do their job without the ability to flip over to full team control.
Start As A Fifth-Year Free Agent
Unlike previous years in which you began Face of the Franchise as an NFL rookie straight from the draft, Madden 23 will start you off as an underutilized fifth-year free agent. Utilizing Madden 23’s improved free agency contract signing system, the biggest decision you’ll make at the start is signing with the right team.
Other Changes
Some other changes that players can look forward to is a refreshed League Hub to better streamline all aspects of Face of the Franchise. Side Activities have also been overhauled to capture life off the field as a pro athlete. During the week, you’ll be able to select the side activities you’ll want to engage in and then experience any cutscenes or play through any on-field drills. You’ll then get a summary of all the boosts and rewards you’ve earned.
