Players shouldn’t think that the best course of action is to just dive into a new season. There is plenty to do in the preseason, and having a well-thought-out game plan can make this game mode a far more enjoyable experience. Players might also want to check out the changes to the other game modes, like Superstar, that NFL 25 has made.

1 Have A Strong Start

Players Should Pick A Team That Plays How They Want

When it comes time to choose the right team that players will be starting their Franchise journey with, they will be able to see each team’s total rating for Overall, Offense, and Defence. The game lets players progress Franchise through either key moments, by playing a full game, playing all the offensive snaps, or controlling all the defensive snaps. Players should pick a team that best caters to how they plan to play. The two teams with the highest Overall are the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs — both with an Overall of 88. It’s not just about how good things look in the game, it’s also about the numbers behind the plays.

Players can also see where each team placed in the 2024 NFL Rankings, and what the development will be like at the bottom of Franchise Info. After choosing a team, players will be able to choose if they would prefer to play as a Coach, or as an Owner. By Selecting Change Roles, players will be able to see how each of these roles will affect their Franchise experience before it starts. Finally, players should go through the League Settings to make sure everything is exactly how they want it for the best experience.

2 Don’t Leave Training Camp With Nothing

Players Only Get One Shot, Make It Count

There are numerous minigames to select in the Training Camp at the start of the franchise. This provides players with plenty of points for them to have a great head start heading into the season. Once a player starts one of the minigames, they will be able to earn a medal ranging from Bronze to Gold. Each time one of these minigames comes to an end, players will be able to re-try or leave.

Players should keep at it to try to get the highest reward they can because once they leave the minigame, it will become locked. This means players should never leave without at least getting a Bronze medal, but try to get the best scores they can. Playing these minigames can help players understand many of the game’s new features.

3 Interact With All Notifications Items

Don’t Progress With Suboptimal Stats

Having a top-notch method of knowing what to check on is very important. Lots of games and devices like the PS5 make use of them to help players stay on top of their tasks. Players will see colorful dots next to many of their menu items as they progress through Franchise. This shows that there are upgrade opportunities available.

Failing to acknowledge these can have detrimental results. Players will need to make sure their Staff is being managed, that their characters are being upgraded, and that they are performing all of the game's Storyline elements. This will result in higher stats and more morale.

4 Build Trust With The Team

Speaking of Morale, it is important for the player to keep their athlete’s Morale high. Morale can take a nasty hit when players make the wrong choices during the Franchise Storyline elements, so they will need to be cautious. This is not one of those profound morality systems where players will have an obvious “Good” or “Evil” option. Players will need to react promptly to hard-hitting questions.

This can be by answering an interviewer, or even when one of the players is asking them for advice. Higher morale will provide a boost that can make or break a close match, so players will need to be mindful of the answers they choose. It is best to put oneself in the mindset of what will be best for the players and avoid saying something that could cause conflict among the team.

5 Set Obtainable Goals

Slow & Steady Is A Good Strategy

By going into Manage Team, and then Franchise Staff, players will be able to find their Head Coach, Offensive Coordinator, Defensive Coordinator, and Player Personal. Looking in the top right corner will show the upgrade currency that players can use to purchase Talents within their staff member’s Talent Trees.

To gain this currency, they will need to accomplish Gameday Goals — which will be listed under their Staff Members. Players who set much harder goals will have more to gain but risk not accomplishing these goals at all. Players should set easily obtainable goals to ensure their staff gets more Talents out of games — at least for their first go at Franchise.

6 Unlock Hidden Potential

Different Players Develop At Different Rates

Players will need to coach athletes who will have a wide range of potential development. The most potent players that fans can put in the game will be Superstar X-Factor Players. These players will develop faster than any other players on the roster, and gain access to Zone and Superstar Abilities by accomplishing goals while they play.

However, some will be bottom of the barrel, and others might be hidden completely. When their Development is hidden, players will need to put the player into games to complete a challenge listed underneath it. Once this challenge has been completed, they will be able to see what they are made of — it is highly recommended to complete these challenges.
