Features that aren't in madden anymore. A thread

Training Camp

Create-a-team

Create-a-uniform (not picking from preset options, actual customization)

Create-a-play

Create-a-playbook

Create-a-fan

Create-a-coach

A screen acknowledging the Super Bowl result
Newspaper news, not a crappy fake Twitter

The Tony Bruno Show

The Extra Point (second choice if no Tony Bruno Show)

Live Opponents: basically one-off H2H games in a Franchise

Receiver spotlighting

Total control simulation. Basically like super sim but you call the plays.
Rival history and tracking

Madden Moments

Situation mode

2-minute drill mode. It was a party mode with pinball-style scoring. You got the ball back if you scored until the two minutes were up

Annual owner scores based on team performance
Tracking owner scores over time (Decade scoring)

Position-by-position gameplanning based on specific opposing players

Focus plays to counter opponent plays when gameplanning

Opponent's favorite plays in gameplanning

Position battles

Retirements screen
Assistant coaches (coordinators)

Former players becoming coaches

Coach ratings, not just traits

Historical statistics. These are in Madden's roster screen, but don't get tracked in CFM!

Exporting Franchise rosters

Restricted free agency
Franchise information menus that don't suck (important info all in one place, not the slow sprawling tiles we have now)

Meaningful city personalities and differences

End-of-year financial statements that summarize the strengths and weaknesses of the team as a business
Year-to-date revenue and expense trackers

Detailed ticket pricing

Pictures of sale items. Also, chocolate milk beers, apparently.

Parking prices. Although you could argue that this is bundled with the ticket in modern Maddens

Advertising

Fan Appreciation Day giveaways
Renaming stadiums. You could take a sponsorship deal or just manually name it the Carson Wentz Football Palace like a normal person. /s

Actual stadium upgrades, not just leveling up sections

Stadium customization, not just selecting a type like "Deluxe Traditional"
Paying for a stadium all at once. In Madden 18, stadiums are paid for in 500 weekly payments (just over 15 years), making it much easier to afford them.

Custom preseason schedules. Or at least not literally the exact same thing every single season.

Local media contracts
The ability to play any game you want in Franchise

A simple way to control all 32 teams

Tournament mode

A pause menu that doesn't suck (or at least shows important information without having to tab over)

The Senior Bowl

Individual pre-draft prospect workouts
Scouting reports (words, not three letter grades)

Player roles that affect their development and attitude

Player morale. If you pulled a "Redskins handling of Cousins" on a player, he will be much harder to re-sign

Detailed player interests when negotiating a contract
Backloaded contracts

"NFL Network" mode that taught specific plays in depth

Expansion draft

Historic rosters not locked behind a MUT paywall

Mini-camp drills and rewards

Mini-camp game situations

Madden cards

Career-ending injuries

Concussions
Injury rehab. You could attempt a drill with an injured player to speed up his recovery, but risk aggravating the injury and keeping him out longer

Player training drills

Ratings boosts specifically from player drills

Superstar mode player history

Hiring agents
Using your agent to interact with the media

Interviews

Team pre-draft workouts

Workout performance affected ratings

Getting drafted as a player

Interacting with team management as a player
Interacting with team management as a player

Acting in a movie, if you can deal with the media questioning your commitment to football

Dev leadership that gave a crap

Bill Belichick's likeness

God. This list is way to goddamn long
