How to Rename Your Dynasty: A Madden 24 Franchise Team Name Guide

Changing your team name in Madden 24 Franchise Mode is a straightforward process, but it’s tucked away in the menus. You need to navigate to the Team Settings area within your franchise. Specifically, go to “Manage Team,” then “Team Options,” and from there you’ll find the option to “Edit Team Name.” You can then input your desired team name, abbreviation, and even customize your team’s location and uniforms (depending on the depth of your franchise settings). Remember that this usually requires the use of a relocation token if you are also changing the location of the team.

Diving Deep into Team Customization

Franchise mode in Madden has always been about more than just playing games; it’s about building a legacy. And what’s a legacy without a killer team name to strike fear into the hearts of your opponents? Whether you’re looking to honor a local legend, pay homage to a fallen franchise, or just create something utterly ridiculous, Madden 24 offers you the tools to make your team truly your own.

The process, while seemingly simple, can sometimes be confusing, especially for newcomers to the franchise. Let’s break down the steps and explore some of the nuances that can make or break your team’s rebranding.

Step-by-Step Guide to Renaming Your Team

1. Enter Franchise Mode: Obviously, you need to be inside your franchise to start. Load your existing franchise or create a new one. This is the cornerstone of your football empire.

2. Navigate to “Manage Team”: From the main franchise hub, look for the “Manage Team” tile. This section is your control center for all team-related operations.

3. Access “Team Options”: Inside the “Manage Team” menu, you’ll find a list of options. Scroll down and select “Team Options.” This menu houses a variety of customization settings, including the one we’re after.

4. Find “Edit Team Name”: Within “Team Options,” locate the “Edit Team Name” selection. Once selected, this option opens the customization window.

5. Customize Your Team Identity: Here’s where the magic happens. You’ll be able to change the following:

   • Team Name: This is the primary name your team will be known by.
   • Team Abbreviation: The short-form version of your team’s name, used in scoreboards and on jerseys. Keep it concise and memorable.
   • Team Location (If Relocating): If you’ve initiated a relocation (more on that later), you’ll also be able to choose your team’s new city.
   • Team Uniforms (If Relocating): Relocation also typically allows for uniform customization, giving your team a fresh new look.

6. Confirm Your Changes: Once you’re satisfied with your new team identity, confirm your changes. Be aware that some changes may be permanent for the current season, so choose wisely!

The Nuances of Relocation and Rebranding

While simply renaming your team is a relatively easy process, relocating and rebranding introduces some additional considerations. Relocation is a more involved process in Madden 24, requiring you to first meet certain criteria within your franchise.

Understanding Relocation Tokens

You typically need a relocation token to initiate the relocation process. These tokens are earned through meeting specific goals in your franchise, like increasing team value, improving stadium attendance, or winning games.

The Relocation Process

Once you have a relocation token, you can trigger the relocation process. This usually involves scouting potential new cities, designing new stadiums, and ultimately selecting your team’s new home. The city you choose might have an impact on jersey options as well. This is where you truly get to craft a whole new identity for your franchise, far beyond just the name.

FAQs: Your Madden 24 Team Renaming Questions Answered

The game usually restricts the use of special characters and numbers in team names to maintain consistency and readability.

Unfortunately, no. Once you confirm the team name change, it’s usually permanent for that season.
