Re: Madden NFL 15 Connected Franchise Videocast with Josh Looman

I don't see the issue with requiring 3 qbs. Much better than two qbs going down and you putting in the punter.

Granted, if they gave us practice squad, etc.. We wouldn't have to worry about only having 53 guys.

so will we actually be able to play the pro bowl?

Has anyone seen anything about CFM presentation? It seems like it was completely ignored this year😔

JP, Josh Looman had mentioned it in the video towards the end a bit and touched on presentation within CFM. He mentioned that commentary was touched on along with some new stat banners for CFM (referenced playoff picture) and things like that. Sounded pretty minimal but he did mention some additions. Guess we will have to wait and see.

While I'm bummed for those who loved to have real draft classes I don't mind that. IF they really fixed the draftees attributes and made realistic classes. I don't watch college football so I wouldn't know one name from the other anyway.

Pleased to hear about game prep. Looking forward to seeing more about that. Glad I can finally use a player in a skill drill and improve that skill/get experience points and buy the rating or however it works. I want to see the options and if going for long term develop or short term stat boost becomes a real strategic element. CFM needed something in between just playing the games. Hopefully this is similar to FIFA's form rating.

Thank you based god that they improved free agency. Last years was horrible. Going through the menu was a pain but there was absolutely no logic to what was going on. You just bid on a player. Advance the week. Sometimes on the final week advancement you wouldn't even know if you actually signed the player or not until you went to the depth chart. So hopefully they improved the UI along with the added depth to free agent decisions.

Having players be aware of who is on your roster before they sign is a step toward adding player roles in contracts. There must be some logic behind what role a player expects to have on a team if he looks at the starter and decides he won't get PT so he wont sign there. What about if you want to do something like have multiple starting caliber defensive lineman but rotate them. Will there be an issue of not being able to sign a LE because you already have a good LE? Looking forward to seeing how this all plays out.

They finally added the ability to advance more than a week at a time. Small but big.

Also relieved to hear that there will be screens where you can view a players progression/regression so you don't have to have players stats memorized. I'll take the added convenience to make me going into depth a little easier.

Weekly goals change every week. Maybe I'll actually pay attention to them now? We'll see.

They updated the OVRs so they dont change from menu to in game. Welcome fix.

Excited to get my hands on it.

Re: Madden NFL 15 Connected Franchise Videocast with Josh Looman

They made draft class changes to address people in online leagues going onto Operation Sports and gaming the system by reading the draft class guides.

Not to address the fact that we want to play with real rookies. these are their priorities...

:/

I think that is where the legal issues come in with them admitting they want to use college player likenesses in Madden.

Wait until you play CFM and get to the preseason cut period and the game basically forces you to cut certain players in order to meet the position requirements.

The two QBs going down is part of the risk of opting to carry an extra WR or CB. I like my games to have choices and risks involved.

Re: Madden NFL 15 Connected Franchise Videocast with Josh Looman

dont blame EA...blame the lawyers in America

I don't think lawyers have anything at all to do with editing current players. Creating drafts maybe, but not editing current players. If I'm wrong, then explain to me what the lawyers have to do with editing Clay Mathews attributes/ratings inside CFM.

[dat boi Q]

You can't edit draft classes in madden because of the same reason you can't do it on NBA2k.

Some people are never happy. The news sounds good.

The PC version of NBA2k I can edit draft classes.

Re: Madden NFL 15 Connected Franchise Videocast with Josh Looman

Seems like good progress from last year still needs work though but I like the direction however I'm very disappointed in not being able to create a draft class possible deal breaker for me because it's hard playing with fake players just can't get into it feels cheesy and for the people comparing ncaa law suit to this its a completely different situation the lawsuit was based on the fact that the entire foundation of ncaa was based on users creating likeness of entire teams in cfb giving users a option to create fictional and drafts with players we either want or believe will enter the draft would not bring a lawsuit, in nba 2k people in the os community create years of fictional draft classes that are made up and given story lines some people make classes of the players they think will enter the draft, as a offline user I believe we should have the option to do this or use ea "random" rookie class because i really enjoy drafting 90 ovr rookies (sarcasm)

i'd rather have them fix the actual problem. roster requirements suck, we'll probably be forced to have 10 OL again when most teams only carry 9.

Re: Madden NFL 15 Connected Franchise Videocast with Josh Looman

Okay, I really like that confidence never resets and reflects a cumulative judgment by the player on the roster moves I make as an owner. It really sounds like team-building strategy matters this year, which I love.

Re: Madden NFL 15 Connected Franchise Videocast with Josh Looman

Josh Looman is so far behind, he doesn't know what we truly want. He think he does, but yet he does something so simple as upgrading practice but neglects, FA/Draft AI, CFM presentation, he is clueless.

It's no wonder why EA keeps him, he is a perfect yes man. So many of us here on this board would do so better at making CFM, it seems he forgot how to bring coding from Head Coach to Madden. He gave everything we ever wanted in Madden in Head Coach. Yet refuses to bring any of it over. Shows he doesn't want to use the full potential of the PS4/Xbox 1. He rather leave it bare with minimal improvements.
