      Not saying they will lose millions of customers...but probably in the thousands. That is a big deal to ALOT of people, and a big reason alot of people even bought NCAA to begin with when it was still being made.
      Sales dropped in the first few months but that had more to do with two new consoles about to be released a few months later. Once sales from the PS4 and XB1 were added in the overall sales were down compared to 13 but not by a significant number. The difference could be explained by the down economy and high unemployment rate just as much/more as draft classes.

        As long as your current stadium was below a certain number last year (don't remember what it was) you could build a new stadium in the same city.

          While I would love to see a combine, realistically you can't take much from it. Real NFL scouts/coaches call it the underwear Olympics for a reason. 40 yd dash was originally designed for gunners because the average punt was 40 yds. It doesn't tell you how fast a player will be in an actual game situation, it tell's you how fast he is in perfect conditions, running in a straight line while wearing underwear. While we have to spend points to determine speed, NFL teams have to spend ridiculous amount of times in the film room to determine just how fast or strong a recruit really is. They mainly use the combine for two reasons: one it's the first chance you have all the recruits practicing together and interacting with one another. Two it's the first chance many teams have to interview every player on their draft board.

            I wonder if the relocation issues have been fixed. I'd love to move the Raiders or Rams back to LA but if it's going to still say Oakland or St. Louis in the end zone it's a complete waste of time. I'd like to see some more stadium variance as well but I think that would have been mentioned.

              That (along with the horrible relocation team uniforms/logos) is what killed owner mode for me last year. I ended up giving up after a few attempts and just playing coach mode. I don't want to play with the San Antonio Rams of St. Louis, I want the San Antonio Rams. I would even settle for just generic endzones rather than seeing St. Louis Rams in the endzone.

                  So Madden 15 two biggest features in CFM (Confidence & Game Prep) are features that have been in other sports games for years, smh. To me those shouldn't be the BIG features, they should be complimentary features at the bottom of the feature list.
                  I have not played Franchise in Madden since Madden 05 on PS2 and it looks like it's still not to the point worth sending my valuable time on. Looks like I will be spending most of my time playing online matches for a couple months before I get bored with it. Like someone mentioned in another thread, I wish they had a single season mode.
                  Game Prep is so basic, its about boosting up players stats to get them to play better in a game. Game Prep should be about preparing for what plays the opponent is going to run next week and preparing a gameplan for them, thats how Game Prep is done in real life.

They also have to make it easier to control all 32 teams offline. How hard can it be to give the offline guys some options.
                    Exactly

                      If the confidence addition works as advertised it will be a ground breaking addition unlike anything we have seen in most sport's games. Game Prep gives you the option to either boost a single players XP or Confidence but you can also work with an entire position group to prepare them for the game your about to play.

I'm not trying to plug myself but if you go to the Expanded Broadcast link below I actually made some mockups of the possibilities that they have with it. They are really missing out not utilizing it though. I think I would actually prefer the storylines running through that than the story feed UI currently being used.
                        Damn, I forgot they added that IRL ticker. While I think that's a cool concept, and I like it for main menues and Play Now, why the he'll would it be in CFM? What if I summed ahead 10 years? How is it at all relevant to what's going on? I feel like it would help their "storylines" a lot if they changed it. I'm still looking forward to Madden and CFM but that's a nagging detail, and I'm such a stickler for little details like that. Especially for CFM and "career" mode, if you can even call it that. I miss superstar mode which was immensely better and after playing NBA2k's MyPlayer, Maddens "career" is a joke.

                          I know it a minuet detail but i think the cut day system in madden sucks I think we should make all the cuts to 53 after the preseason is done i hate the fact you have to make cuts each week of the preseason.

                          Some guys don't come on in the preseason till late would be good if we could get a chance to determine which camp guys have a good shot at making the 53 instead of cutting them each week
                          NBA:Philadelphia 76ers
                          NFL:Philadelphia Eagles
                          NHL:Philadelphia Flyers
                          NRL:New Zealand Warriors

                            They are replicating the real NFL, teams need to trim rosters slowly to 53 during the preseason

                              Actually the real NFL is a little different from the way the game handles it. In the real NFL teams can carry the full 90 players until after the 3rd preseason game. The first roster cut is from 90 to 75 on August 26th, the second roster cut is from 75 to 53 on August 30th. Some team release players a few each week, others wait till the last possible minute.

                                How is it different from what's been in NBA 2K Association for years now? You could game plan in NBA 2K to boost a player or your team ratings, and they have a player morale, role system that affects their confidence, ratings and if it gets to low, they even request to be traded. How is Madden's different?
