Re: Madden NFL 25 - Connected Franchise Deep Dive

They have a presentation reveal coming soon, Rich Grisham said he'd have a podcast with mike young in the next week or so, so when that podcast comes out I'm sure they will release a blog and probably a video about presentation.

I can't wait for that I want to know what they did with the presentation this year.

I like what I'm seeing so far with the new interface and everything. I'm looking forward to doing Owner mode this year. BTW if anyone notice. There was a few seconds of gameplay as well. It looked solid to me. But that is just me. Also it looks the LT is getting out there and blocking the RE very good as well. Also it looks like the RE is getting more a good pass rush as well. I know the that gameplay was only a few seconds. But it look pretty decent. Can't wait to see full gameplay video in a few weeks at E3.

What is the point of a transaction log if it doesn't give you the details?

Oh Cincy just traded AJ Green to the Rams?? Thats great to know but how did the Rams swing that deal? What did they give up??

As a commissioner it is essential to be able to log these things, and for immersion as a single player it is also essential.

Hopefully then I'd be able to know why the Browns only have 2 draft choices in this draft and why the Giants have 10 (amongst other discrepancies I found when leaving the CPU to control 31 teams)

I agree. Why can't they do a blog just saying how the commentary will be dynamic. Even give examples ( written or live would be adequate).

And to me dynamic isn't just mentioning my team is undefeated in the pregame. I would like to know how individual players are playing both in that game and in the season.

Does any sports game do that? The most ive seen is NBA 2k where they will say something like "Kobe had a great game last night" and a stat overlay will show what his stats from that game. Thats still plenty generic.

Wouldnt the same log show that the Rams gave up lets say a 1st rounder to Cincy?

It doesn't have to be insanely detailed or specified, but the example I gave of Martin Tyler reporting the specific amount of goals a player has in FIFA during his play-by-play works well. That, and NBA often breaks to discuss a player's season stats during timeouts or stoppages. "Let's look at Kyle Lowry...tenth in three point percentage, second in assists, and he's been a really good catalyst for his offense this year." Something to that extent. It's not the most specific commentary in the world but it's better than what most games give us.

The stuff that modern commentary engines can't handle (e.g. really specific observations) can easily be displayed on graphical overlays or even on the menu's Twitter feeds. I think that's all I can expect from Madden, but it would be nice to see something truly innovative from them on the presentation front.

That looping over and over again is giving me such a headache right now. LOL Sidenote: The speed on the video of the gameplay ain't this fast. It is much slower.

You would hope so, but the screenshot we saw leads you to question if that is the case...

The transaction log should just list the entirety of the trade -
Dallas trades Romo, 2014 1st rd, and 2015 1st rd pick to
Jaguars for 2014 1st rd pick

And if it doesn't then you had better be able to select the "snippet" and be shown the details by hitting a button.

The preference would be to have it all displayed without having to navigate or select the trade to view details...

Lol yeah. I need to make better use of those spoiler tags.

It would help if you had a warning sign on that video.

Thank you!

Gameplay looked very unspectacular but I'm gonna look at the line interaction some more!

I don't know if its just me, but why is it that all the recent Madden teams have been really condescending towards the fans? The way they talk about adding in player editing for people like it was a chore for them; wasted energy on a geek's fantasy sort of attitude... Likewise with the 32 team control - saying its for control freaks - when really its because the CPU AI doesn't allow the game to be playable...

I know that they're bigger geeks than any of us, but I guess thats why the tone is sorta surprising to me...

I don't need it too specific and after every play.

For example, on your first posssession of the second half Nantz or Simms brings up how you've thrown 2 int. Or only ran for 20 yards. (NCAA did this with a little video montage)

For season flow. Saying a QB just threw his 30 TD and that should put him inyo tge MVP race (NCAA used to do this with the Heisman)
