Re: Was/has there been any franchise info released?

Checked Clint's twitter, someone asked again and he said that he hopes soon, but even he doesn't know.

I'm going with August 29.

I agree Clint shouldn't necessarily be the messenger but it's not like EA hasn't released a schedule of dates for when news of various aspects of Madden are planned to be made public. Also back then they had to coordinate that with NCAA Football news, which isn't an issue this year. Of course EA/Tiburon can and does do whatever they choose but I'm just saying it's not unreasonable or unprecedented for there to be dates released for Madden news.

Im pretty sure that last year and a few years before, EA released a schedule of dates that they were going to reveal information about a particular said topic on. They sometimes would postpone the days that they were going to reveal news on and people would get mad because they were expecting news from EA on the day they promised to reveal it and instead they find out that the date that the news was gonna be revealed was postponed. I guess EA got the hint last year that releasing a schedule of dates wasn't a great idea since they got negative backlash from the community for not living up to their promise of revealing news on the said date on the schedule they released

No doubt and that's all true, I guess I'm just wondering why any news would need to be postponed or kept secret this year, at this point, with Madden being the only football game EA is releasing. To Kehlis's general point, I think I nitpick the things EA does/doesn't do quite frequently and that's because, as I have stated before, so much of it bewilder's me. I understand the things that EA/Tiburon does concerning EA football as much as I understand women, both of which, when I think I might just have an inkling of what they'll do, I usually turn out woefully mistaken.

One thing that might be really cool as one plays a CFM is the new playcall system.... Awesome if you can keep track of how effective plays are as your career goes

No News is NO NEWS! Madden 12, Big News was Looman letting us know things we've been wanting in Franchise mode had been added.


Madden 13, Big News was the revamp Franchise Mode into CFM & all the details.


Madden 25, Owners Mode. Nothing on new additions to CFM (like 46 man game-day roster etc. etc.)
Someone asked the Madden reps at E3 and they were basically told to wait until release day to get your answers. smh - because they did nadda.
We went with, they're working on next gen thought process.


Madden 15, yeah, Graphics and Defense. No word on CFM stuff except possible stuff done with Practices. hmmmm


I'm going with nothing has been done with CFM mode. They would have touted it if major stuff had been added. Just going by years past, the news is out & nothing was held back.

There's still almost two months until the game comes out and EA hasn't said the words "Ultimate Team" yet other than preorder bonuses. There will most certainly be more Madden 15 feature reveals, and CFM improvements likely are among them.

There's an entire studio under the EA fold located in Austin, TX which is solely responsible for development of CFM mode. I seriously doubt they have been doing nothing for ten months.

This gives me some hope I guess..question though..does having a studio away from their HQ working on one part and another office working on another..is this best or normal? I don't know as this isn't my background..could it be the reason for some of the issues with the game? Ie sliders working differently in Play Now and CFM auto subs etc..

It's not super-unusual for a large game to have some of its components developed across multiple studios, though I wouldn't necessarily call it a frequent occurrence. And yes, that could help explain the inconsistencies between slider functionality in Play Now and CFM, I'm (wild) guessing caused by values being translated incorrectly or not being read at all.

Re: Was/has there been any franchise info released?

I think people just hold EA to different standards or want them to repeat what they did in past years. I'm looking forward to a lot of games coming out in the next few months and I don't know everything about all of them. The companies have put out some trailers and did some E3 demos but they haven't revealed everything about every game mode. I don't know why Madden, two months ahead of release, has to put everything out on the table for some people to be happy. Not only that, but people make all sorts of assumptions like "CFM must be exactly the same except for practices.". Destiny comes out around the same time as Madden and Bungie is still holding plenty of things to themselves and will probably leave some surprises too.

If it was august 23rd then maybe this thread would make sense.

Or they have been assigned to something else. Maybe expanding MUT. We just won't know until actual news comes out.

I would hope the Play Now and Franchise gameplay would be done by the same studio and not split. I would expect the split to be somewhat isolated areas. Like presentation, gameplay (which would include sliders), MUT, CCM/CFM. I'm not there, but I just don't see how it would make any sense to make the split between studios that would cause slider inconsistencies between gameplay modes.

For me it's past reputation that makes me need to know more about Madden than other games. I don't follow MLB The Show like this, or NBA2K. I usually just go out and buy them.

Yeah, we'll see, my expectations are higher than yours. Like I said, word on here, work has been done on practice situation. Right there, My expectation is that a player can now be injured (includes hamstrings), re-aggravate an injury, QB hits his hand on a helmet while throwing etc. etc.


If it's not, then what is CFM about going into it's 3rd Year? Parcells would say the 3rd year is key, if a player has not shown it by year three, he probably won't! It fits here........


Already smh as word on the audio Pre-Game & Halftime show will not talk about injuries. Keys to the Game? Was told to hang on for CFM news, okay, I wait, but not holding my breath.

Yeah, but that practice part was a snippet of a interview with the Creative Director.

He wasn't actually detailing CFM.

The info will come out, we are just used to schedules of blogs in the past.

The info definitely won't come out the before the holiday and might not come the week after the holiday because many people take vacations.

If that's the case then you should play it before you buy it. I buy Madden every year, but I still follow this stuff just because. Nothing they could say now would make me buy M15 if I didn't like M25, i'd have to play it first. But I got enjoyment out of M25 but there were some big things that needed fixing that are small gameplay things that don't make pre-release news. Like does the CPU RT still allow my End to lead the league in sacks every year regardless of what you do to the sliders or settings.

I can't think of a CFM feature that would make Madden a must buy if someone didn't like M25. The gameplay is pretty much the same with better AI for defenders, it seems.
