Madden 21 allows the opportunity to play two seasons for the Longhorns

An updated feature in Madden 21’s Face of the Franchise mode will allow you to play for the Longhorns for two season.

It was announced on Tuesday that a new feature in the upcoming Madden franchise produced by EA Sports would allow you to play for 10 select college franchises. Yes, one of those teams would be the Texas Longhorns. While fans clamor and beg for the return of the NCAA football franchise, this gives you a little bit of that with a college mode.

For last year’s edition you could choose one of 10 teams, however they replaced Texas Tech and Florida State with Nebraska and Michigan State.

According to EA Sports’ website, you will face some challenges with the opportunity to play for two seasons  in college before trying your luck in the NFL.

Your story doesn’t end there though as you’re thrust center stage on National Signing Day as ten FBS schools vie for your talents. What starts off as a normal Signing Day ends with a dramatic twist after you don the hat of the school you’ve chosen to attend. Once you set foot on campus the stakes get even higher as you not only have to deftly navigate a Quarterback controversy right out of the gate, but also have to figure out how to appease your domineering, old school approach, newly minted Head Coach Red O’Brien – all while attempting to build your draft stock through two challenging seasons of college football AND win an College Football Playoff Championship (or two) along the way. As if that weren’t enough, you’re thrown out of your comfort zone and into disarray when Coach O’Brien delivers you an ultimatum – either switch positions to Running Back or Wide Receiver, or pack your bags and take your chances in the NFL Draft!

For Longhorns fans, you could very well become your own version of Roschon Johnson. Start out at quarterback only to make the switch to running back or even wide receiver. With so much uncertainty surrounding the upcoming season with COVID-19, this might be one way to guarantee you get your football fix.

Not everyone was excited about the possibility of playing for the University of Texas in the “Face of the Franchise” mode.
