Relocation cities

Re: Relocation cities

I like those changes, but they fall under the umbrella of tuning. It didn't add to the depth of the mode. You could argue that fixing the pricing will make it deeper and such an argument is not without merit.But I was playing Madden tonight and in my CFM owner mode I looked at the interface and the possible options and I realized that it will be the same this release.

Want to track your attendance week to week?Too bad. Want the menu attendance figures for last home game to match the in game visual attendance? Not happening. More stadium options? Why, 5 is enough.More relocation options? Sorry. Last year I was excited when I saw player marketing have a personality score because I thought that meant they had plans for a personality system. This year? Still a single number with no improvement. It would be cool to bid to host the superbowl right? Pfft, forget it.

They could have did a lot. But instead as you pointed out they fixed two things that did not work properly so the one actual addition was, drum roll please...relocation uniforms. I'm already immersed in the role of a NFL owner.

Sounds like someone should wait for Madden 16.

You'll move your team where they say your moving your team and you will like it

If anyone should know it's a Thunder fan, except of course a Sonics fan.

Like anything else in the game it is all subjective. To me the changes they made added a ton of depth. Last year to me Owner mode was unplayable, I am not big on the prices part but I love relocating my team and to me between the endzones not changing for real teams and the uniforms being stuck on an episode of "I love the 90s" it was unplayable. I spent my entire time in coach mode. This year it sounds like owner mode will be useful to me.

Re: Relocation cities

I don't believe they will ever open up options to fully create a relocation city from scratch. One of the biggest reasons of bringing it back was to have the announcers able to talk about the teams and have them say the team name during game.

They will add more cities and team names when they can record more with the announcers and whoever announces the draft.

Re: Relocation cities

They could add at least the biggest city or capital from each state and maybe each Canadian province. Have the EA "approved" cities that have team names recorded and just have the announcers record city names for the rest. If I wanted to make a team from one of the non approved teams I wouldnt care if they just kept referring to them as Hartford the whole time.
How long does it take to record 100-150 city names?? 10 MINUTES.

Seems like a reasonably doable solution to appease the cUstomization control crowd. They could even go the route of NCAA who also added a list of several hundred popular team names that could be chosen.

The main thing I don't like about it is your stuck with just two uniforms when most NFL teams have 3 or more (either an alternate or throwback). I move the Raiders to San Antonio give me the new uniforms but let me keep the old uniforms as throwbacks kind of like the Titans do with the old Oilers uniforms or the Chiefs do with the Dallas Texans unis.

That's a good idea

Re: Relocation cities

Its the same 17 cities as Madden 25, and you're still limited to 3 options for team names and uniforms, though they have changed a few of the names and all the uniforms have been tweaked. Nothing spectacular here. I wish they'd just create a Madden version of the the NCAA Teambuilder so we could create own.

Yep, add that to the list of things in ncaa that needs to make its way over to madden.

Re: Relocation cities

Do you guys think EA limiting our cities an d logos is actually the decision of the N(o) F(un) L(eague)?

Or do yu all think it's just EA being EA?

I think it is all EA.

Re: Relocation cities

I have a feeling that they're holding back on a full customization suite because they're afraid of being sued, which they would be once somebody started to remake pre-existing uniforms and logos.

Re: Relocation cities

allow it for offline franchise. No lawsuit threats

There are plenty of games that allow you to create characters both offline and online that never face lawsuits. As long as they don't put players in the game that are obvious representations of real life players then there won't be a problem. Just have to leave it up to us to put in the work to create the things we want

The video below would result in a lot of lawsuits according to some of you lol
