One of the most requested franchise features is back and coming to Madden NFL 24 with the return of Training Camp to Franchise mode. The integration of mini-games will feel familiar and fresh to franchise veterans and newcomers alike.
At the beginning of each season, Training Camp will give you the opportunity to improve your roster by running some of your players through a series of mini-games. In the Madden NFL 24 beta, we included every mini-game in Training Camp knowing we would optimize the list based on player feedback and sentiment we received. The reasoning behind this was to ensure that Training Camp remained a fun and worthwhile experience but also was something that didn’t take an extensive amount of time before being able to start your season. At launch, Training Camp will consist of the following mini-games:
Inside Training Camp, the process is simple – first choose your mini-game. Mini-games are available for every position on your roster (with the exception of the offensive line) and the mini-game selected will determine which players on your roster are eligible to play. From there, you can choose any eligible player, but choose wisely as each mini-game can only be completed once AND a player is only allowed to complete one mini-game in Training Camp.
Once inside the mini-game, your success dictates your gains as you vie for a bronze, silver or gold medal with varying awards based on which medal you achieve. The rewards can come in all different forms including Skill Points which will allow you to upgrade your player. You’re not obligated to participate in Training Camp, if you only play a few or none of the mini-games the unplayed will be simulated with a random, weighted chance of either gold, silver or bronze in the same fashion that is done for the CPU.
In addition to Training Camp, mini-games have also been implemented into the Weekly Strategy loop. Each week after selecting your offensive and defensive gameplans, each of your focus players (except OL) will have the opportunity to play through one mini-game. All 26 mini-games will be available but each focus player will be limited to playing the mini-games they are eligible for. Also, because this is a weekly task the rewards will be much lower than in Training Camp and it is essentially used as a modifier for that player’s bonus focus XP.
Dev Note: Mini-Games in Franchise will play a bit different than the mini-games in the front end. This is because in Franchise, players will use their true ratings (with a few exceptions). We’ve adjusted the medal thresholds to account for this.
