Madden NFL 25 Screenshot - Connected Franchise Menu

I'm digging it. They really need to make use of that ticker at the bottom and turn it into a league news ticker like on ESPN. Go through this weeks games, last weeks scores, statistical leaders, transactions, etc.

In Madden 13 I believe you could only reach level 5 as a coach right? John Harbaugh is level 17!

Ok, the first thing that jumps out to me is of course the screen shot of the draft. I willing to bet they used that screen shot but didn't consider adding an actual draft scale model for use in the game like I have posted about before.

Then have the the first 32 draft pick's in-game player model walk across the stage, put on their team hat, shake Goodell's hand and hold up their new jersey. For the rest of the draft, if you don't simulate, it could just be some in-game character coming to the podium and announcing names, with some kind of player picture and collegiate stat graphic, like real life. That would seem to be a basic repetitious feature, that would still seem fresh every draft due to the different player models, in-game graphics and overlays that would be displayed on the screen. They could also use that same template for award shows in NCAA and Madden just replace holding up the jersey with holding up a trophy. Devs are always talking about adding things that can be built on every year and be used repeatedly, this sounds like it fits the criteria, imo.

This is the first thing that came to my mind as soon as I saw this screen shot. Anyway interesting to see what they have in store for tomorrow and how it all carries over to M25 on the new consoles.

Looks really cool. All I can say from that picture.

unfortunately i doubt they'll use it for anything other than their own EA real life sports updates

I'm pretty sure Owner Mode is back just in CCM (or CF, now?)

Didn't play Madden 13 but hopefully that RS button by the coach allows you to change to a different team/coach...as in all 32 if you want.

Looks clean to me and I like what I'm seeing here, I'm getting more and more excited about this years game.
