I like what I started. That word is going to sweep the OS forums!!

Or get censored like some other non-cuss words on here...

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.

Another great point, people have been stating for sometime injury length should be displayed as a approximation, ie 2-4 weeks, instead of an exact. Hopefully this is an indicator of a change to that.

I beat the constant drum for a progressive injury system but in the meantime it would be nice to at least see designations like in the real NFL, ie probable, doubtful, etc. Nothing too deep at first, just attach those labels to some existing injuries and let them scale the severity, as well as effect applicable ratings, like confidence does. For example a WR could have a broken finger and instead of just being "out" they could be "doubtful" with a steep ratings hit to CTH or "questionable" with a lesser ratings hit to CTH. Then the User/CPU have to make a decision whether to play them or not, of course risking further injury.

That all may seem rather wishlisty but the foundation for that was already laid in M10 I think, when Ian n company added in playable injuries just for each game, instead of the entire career mode.

Its kind of a bummer that we're still not 100% clear on game prep/XP and what you're able to do from week to week. We have the broad strokes 25 miles up view, but the ground level would be nice. I want to know exactly how much XP you can gain per week and if you can work your entire team in position/individual drills, or only a few players per week.

You will know in 19 days :-)

Makes me wonder if there is still team oriented things in game prep where every player earns XP and how injured are/aren't affected by this. Would make for an interesting cause/affect of injuries if they didn't earn any XP when they were deemed unable to practice. And on top of that when they were to reach a status of being playable whether it be questionable, doubtful, probable, etc. practicing that player would come with a certain risk of re-injury and tack a couple more weeks on to an existing injury and return him to the non-practice list.

I would love the ability to play CFM online with Co op. Not the 3vs3 stuff but to actually be able to join up with one friend online with same team or expand this for the rest of position players except Oline. I feel this would be the future of online leagues because a lot of people want to play in a certain league but their team is already taken but if you could have multiple people on one team, could be a lot of fun. Besides, football is a team sport! Just an idea!

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

Did they mention any improvements to the scouting system? With random drafts which eliminates Draft Guides finding gems especially later in the draft is grueling.

It's typically a platform for answering a lot of questions and seeing things in motion while re-introducing them all live, where assumptions like 'free agency is just that bidding screen' get tested.

i would hope the stream is at 3pmest

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

Was hoping that "schemes" would have been removed but sadly, I see that it's still in the game. Basically, im going to have the exact same problems that I had with Madden NFL 13. UGH.

Any chance that there's an on/off option for schemes?
