Fat Guys on a Little Podcast!

On episode 104, we cover the 4th of July weekend, and how much some of our dogs hate it. Then we try the impossible sausage sandwich from Burger King. In addition, we review Hamilton on Disney+ as well as some Hulu original movies. Charles talks about his new iPhone and ditching the official phone of the podcast the LG Stylo 4.

BV’s Book Report  –  No book again this week.  I will read something for next week.

Madden 21 Franchise Mode Bullshit! Weakest update ever!

The new X-Factors make their way into Franchise. More details on X-Factors in Madden NFL 21 coming soon!

Franchise has an expanded Wild Card Playoff round to match the real-life NFL which now features 3 games for each conference instead of 2.

Updated all rookie contract amounts to be more authentic to the actual Draft rookie contracts for all 7 rounds

Retuned every position’s available Abilities to better consider in-game effectiveness of the ability and archetype authenticity. Also made the 2nd ability unlock for most positions 85 OVR (was 80 OVR in Madden NFL 20.)

Fixed multiple cases in logic of players considered for a Dev Trait upgrade at the end of the season not checking the correct stat types.

Updates to all team back-end depth chart philosophies so they match the team’s scheme.

Added position-specific Offensive Lineman archetype progression buckets for OT, OG, and C to capture variance in OVR formulas based on positional expectations. Previously, all OL were pulling from the same progression bucket.

Fixed issue where defensive playbooks and schemes for our fictional coaches would be misaligned (e.g. 3-4 playbook with a 4-3 scheme.)
