Re: Madden NFL 25 - A Deeper Look Into Connected Franchise

That's all well and good, but it creates issues - the left hand don't know what the right hand is doing - and if that is true then the strides in game play from year to year should be a indicator that they need to find more talented developers...

Bro I'm a 23year Madden vet. I been through the bad and good of madden over the years. Of the 8years of Madden been on the current Gen console. I've owned 2 maddens out of these 8 years. Madden07 and Madden11 which I still play until this day. Because I have not like the last 2 maddens that have been out. But from those few seconds of footage I saw in the video today of Madden25. I feel like that this new crew is trying to get together. I feel that gameplay will be solid this year. It might not be perfect. But it will be solid. EA has gone as far as they can with this current engine on the current Gen. Hopefully next Gen they can make the running and blocking and other gameplay look better. But I believe that Madden25 for this year will look much better then it has in past few years. But I'm not going overboard yet. Still waiting until we get more video footage in the next few weeks from E3.

Where did it say news center?

On the presentation side, we’ve got a lot of exciting additions for your Franchise experience. Darren Rovell, Paul Lukas, and Mike Clay are just a few of the new names in sports media that will bring added depth to the News Center. Commentators will also fill you in on standings, season stats, last week’s game and more. In addition, experience all-new branching Draft story lines brought to life by Trey Wingo AND Adam Schefter.

Re: Madden NFL 25 - Connected Franchise Deep Dive

Also, didn't they say the same thing last year about the commentary reflecting your season.

Yep, they sure did and after 6 months of playing before I traded it in, I never heard one word about a previous game. I'm assuming that they figured out that it was broke and fixed it or they're just doing like last year and selling us wolf tickets about the commentary. Either way, I'm not getting my hopes up about it.

Hoping they announce more about presentation and also if all these same features will be brought over to the next gen version.

I get it, they finally have a team of people that many here, and elsewhere, believe have a solid direction now. I hope those people are right, but when you hear the tone of some answers out of EA - and someone pointing out that they think certain EA people "booted" twitter followers for not agreeing with them - that gives me cause for doubt.

My general point is that "ok you have a good team finally" - so no more excuses, and at this point I am sure you, Madden veteran and all, can understand that patience is in short supply because EA "chose" to start all over this gen - 9 years to get back to square one is garbage, and I think of where sales might have been this generation had they actually built on to the foundation they had on PS2....

It shows in the screenshot:



That there is no A button (or X if it was PS3) way of selecting and looking at the transaction beyond the headline that is "Cincy trades AJ Green to the Rams"

A typical EA oversight that I guess was to be expected.

In the past I believe they've had the button options rotate along the bottom, with it showing the "B" button for a few seconds, then showing what the "A" button does, etc.

Not saying that's the case here, but it might be. The fact that the top option is highlighted suggests that you can select it too.

looks very promising.
break down of stats, scores etc in a news-center format is promising. Hopefully its accompanied with some on screen graphics of the stats, leaderboards etc.; especially if the commentary will be generic.

All these changes hopefully the team at EA can pull this off without a whole lot of bugs etc

Re: Madden NFL 25 - A Deeper Look Into Connected Franchise

Cool stuff. Owner mode could be really fun if they worked it out right. You still get to be the coach and play games and manage all the rest.

Also cool imported draft classes are back. Only not sure ill use it. Kinda liked the draft classes from m13.

Now its time for the most importent part of the game
Gameplay!!

Re: Madden NFL 25 - A Deeper Look Into Connected Franchise

News Center? Could this be like....... Sports Center?! Also I like that they will mention stats from last game, something Ive always wanted in this game, hopefully its not generic.

All this better be in the Madden 25 next-gen version.

ish no! lol. The "News center" is just the moniker for where the stories are, it has the same name in M13.

Yeah, if there's one thing that still makes me scratch my head about the upcoming Madden, it's why EA isn't making the most out of the ESPN license.

I never had the chance to own ESPN NFL 2K5 back in the day (maybe I should get a used copy on the cheap), but from the videos I've seen, the guys behind that game did the absolute best they could, putting Chris Berman in the studio and everything. It's almost like they KNEW this was going to be the last year of competition, so they decided to throw everything at it and go out with a bang.

But hey, that's just a nitpick for me.

I'm beginning to think that the ESPN thing is something that NCAA snatched up and said 'Hey, this is ours.' to have something that doesn't get overshadowed by the fact that it's in Madden as well. Madden hasn't advertised the ESPN license on the box since like Madden 09 but I don't know, just a thought.

Re: Madden NFL 25 - A Deeper Look Into Connected Franchise

When it's year 2020 in my bucs CFM will I hear "last year rookie head coach Greg Schiano blah blah blah" or commentators talking about players that aren't even on my team any more?

That right there really killed the immersion in madden 13

The same needs to be done for the Draft. "We have a trade!" How about some details of the trade and who the team moved up to draft. All players names should be announced.......since they are created draft classes.

Connected Franchise - Should be able to get details on Player(s) signings, release, trades, re-signings (different than signing a street FA), Draft Trades (players & Picks), Coaches Firings, Signings, Promotions.

Also, Any Coaches or Front Office staff should have a name, not just "D. Scarborough!"

Blu-Ray Disc can handle all the info.

Should be able to go back and look at years past how my team was built through the years.
