Madden NFL 17 News Post



EA Sports has detailed new additions to this year's franchise mode on their website.

The first blog post EA detailed a faster way to play franchise and new gameplanning features.

Play The Moments: Experience Franchise faster than ever. Jump into game-defining plays, drives and situations that matter to you, speeding up your experience and delivering more fun. For players who want to span their career the entire 30 years but are limited in time, Play the Moment will be your new way to play.

Quote:
"How does it work?

Before heading down to the field, choose between Play the Moments, Offense Only, Defense Only, or the Full Game. When you choose Play the Moments, the game will be simulated until it detects a key moment and then prompts you to jump right into the action. If you don’t want to play that particular moment, you can easily skip it. Choosing Offense Only or Defense Only before loading into the game allows you to easily play just one side of the ball.

You’ll be able to switch in and out of all the modes easily as you play your game. For example, you can start by playing the Full Game and then switch to Play the Moments at half-time once you have a sizable lead. It’s up to you on how you use it."
There will be different times you are called to 'play a moment'.

EA says that sometimes you will be prompted to play a full drive at the beginning of a game in order to get a lead early. In the last two minutes of a half you may be called upon to drive down the field and manage the clock and perhaps on defense you'll be called in on 3rd downs to get the ball back for your team. Really any 'big' moment of a game you can be called in on.

There will be a new sim speed feature which allows you to slow the game down and watch it unfold in real time during super-sim and during moments. This is an oft requested feature that is now being fulfilled.

Another big addition is that super-sim will now take into account quarter speed in order to try to deliver a game as close as possible to the 120 play-per-game NFL average as well.

Check out all of the new additions to 'Play the Moment' and Super-Sim on EA's site!

That would be nice. Never thought about superSim being fixed with that feature.

I saw nothing about name editing.... If that is the case, then I am thoroughly disappointed.

Dynamic dev traits... game changer

Only watched the video in the first link and can't wait. Looks like the in game ticker will update during the game.

Current NFL players can't have their name changed. I'll let you find out the rest

I'd also like to note that I personally think this new menu interface for franchise mode is sexy. Necessary information is visible. Seeing your current depth chart during free agency is huge in its self.

Everything looks pretty good but I am a little disappointed that there was no mention of the nfl draft. It's such a huge part of the nfl off season and it's been beyond boring in the game for years.

Oh this is great news! I've been crying about having a practice squad for years. I hate risking completely cutting a good draft pick and losing him in the mix later if I need him due to injury or other depth chart issues. So great to finally have these things!


"Each team now has a 10-man Practice Squad that they can control week-to-week. It all starts in week 4 of the preseason. Instead of cutting players, you can now easily move eligible players to the Practice Squad where they will develop as you train the various position groups during weekly training. These Practice Squad players are available in Free Practice so you can test them out down on the field. At any point during the season, you can pull up a player from the Practice Squad to your active roster or vice versa. Only players with less than 2 full years of NFL experience are available to move to the Practice Squad so you won’t be able to stash your veterans on it. The Practice Squad is the place to develop younger players into guys that can have an impact on your team during gameday. Just like in the real-world, your Practice Squad players are free agents and can be poached by other teams for their active roster."

Yes! Yes! Yes!!! Time to Pre-order!

Outstanding!

Really happy with the new tendencies and the change to game prep. Although, these blogs have honestly left me with more questions than answers.

Also, on a side note I can't wait for them to redo the current UI. It's always so clunky and that 'Big Decision' screen doesn't look any better.
