All of this sounds great and I'm skimming through the comments here. Is there 32 team control?

Yes. It's either just like madden 25 or possibly easier to select all 32. It's still in though.

Another thing I noticed on one of the screen shots of Ryan Tannehill was that it showed his three accuracy ratings being down by two points with arrows pointing down but, his arm strength was still 91 and not affected. This is good news because things like arm strength and speed should not go up or down based on confidence.

As much as this would seem like common sense that they wouldn't be affected, I'm so happy that common sense was used with the implementation.

At this point the only real thing I'm on pins and needles about is draft classes. If I see skill players with 76 SPD 75 ACC and 78 AGI I'm gonna be absolutely livid.

Nothing screams "you just ruined franchise" more than the absolute hideous job that was done on skill player attributes for draft classes in 25. I actually laughed out loud to myself and said "of course....of course they'd screw something that important up so bad that it would kill it for me" I think I might of screamed that now that I think about it, but I've tried to block that realization out of my head.

Fingers crossed at this point.

Cool. So this means if I see the CPU do something to their lineup/roster that I don't like during the, I can change it?

Only complaint is not being able to edit draft classes but other wise it looks solid if everything works correctly.

In the video Josh said this was something that was fixed. One of the GC's said that was one of the first things they brought up to Josh when they first met to discuss CFM. Hopefully those days are in the past.

Never gonna happen with Storyline though IMO. If they could build an option at the beginning of a season to import/create/edit existing and that would just remove storyline for that season it would be awesome.

I highly doubt they'll invest time on the option to remove anything that invested time in even though it would make the game better for some unfortunately.

You know the attention to detail is what has disappointed me the most about the Madden title and it's things like the draft classes that I saw in 25 that really prevent me from having confidence in what they do to develop and release the game. How stuff so simple just gets past/ignored by them every release has created a lot of built up resentment towards the Madden team to be honest.

I hope someday the game gets a good base and it just gets better and better, right now it still working on its base and I'm getting older....lol

Good point, glad that confidence doesn't effect physical ratings but Madden does need to add playable multiple injuries, fatigue and environment(weather/playing field) to effect those ratings.

I love it where you just don't sign a player anymore I really like how the player looks at everything involved in your team

P.S. what is the difference between connectted franchise & connected career

This feature used to be in Madden a few years ago. Once again, they take it out, and 5 years later, they bring it back as a brand new idea... smh....

No you would have to be more involved I believe. It's not like the show. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on this.

Re: Madden NFL 15 Connected Franchise Details, Trailer and Screenshots

Users can now remove an injured player from IR if they heal quickly. Use this functionality carefully, as it’s only allowed once per season.

Probably nothing but just worded interestingly. I don't believe any players ever heal quicker than the amount of weeks they're designated with but maybe it's been slightly tweaked. Doubt it but just a thought.

It seems to be danced around. I just wanted a game where if I see Brady getting benched in Week 6 for the Patriots or see the 49ers start a rookie QB over Kap in the being of season, I can say “Hell No!” just edit that? It also seems that you can’t players on other teams or your team once the season starts. Does this mode at least allow me to use created players on my team and then start a CFM offline? Forgive me in advance for these questions. I haven’t bought Madden since…2007 on PS2.

Seriously…

Re: Madden NFL 15 Connected Franchise Details, Trailer and Screenshots

So I am waiting on purchasing m15 and that will be my first time doing that in probably 15 years. Its not that m25 was bad, it was just flat. Factor in the fact that if i want to go next gen, its quite an investment.

The absolute beauty of EA's early access program is that we all get to see the feedback from those who choose to use it. No more being surprised on release day by some massive bug. Those will be caught by the legions on this board.

So here's to EA season pass and this forum. Appreciate those 2 things making my decision easier.
