Superstar Abilities in Franchise

★ Novice

Why do the number of superstar abilities differ from Franchise Mode to the rest of the game? Ex.: In my franchise Michael Thomas has only "Route apprentice" and "Route Technician", it seams only the first 2 superstars abilities are available in franchise (same with Cam Jordan, that has not "Edge Threat" in my franchise)

On Franchise Mode, I can't make any changes in the formation substitutions on defense & I'm only allotted two players on defense with Superstar X-Factor, despite having multiple players with X-Factor abilities

@Swoop1990 Getting this too. I have found that if you play around with it you can get success, but it’s very annoying.

Like when you select the player you want to substitute, you have to select A (Xbox), and before it pulls up the names of available players to sub, you hit A again. Has to before the subs populate. This will sometimes highlight the players like it should and you can sub as normal. If that doesn’t work, just press LB to cycle offense and defense and refresh the screens and try again. However, this doesn’t work every time, but I actually did sub 2 players successfully last night after playing around with it for a while. Please have this looked at EA. Formation subs don’t highlight players when you are trying to sub and it works intermittently, but we are doing it blind and guessing which player we are subbing is highlighted. Very hard to do this.

Re: Superstar abilities

@samuelo00703 I sometimes face a similar bug (only the missing abilities and x-factors; the difficulty level seems to work fine) while playing MUT Solo Challenges. I'm still not sure why this happens but I got the impression that cleaning/deleting the cache reduced the frequency of this bug. the game saves some (user-specific) information in the cache in order to speed up loading processes. if there is something corrupted stored there, it might cause several issues. maybe worth a shot trying that?

how to empty the cache: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/clear-cache-to-fix-problems-with-your-games/

hope that helps. good luck!
