Has there been any mention of if they added any new cities to the relocation process in Madden 15?

Re: Relocation cities
Not sure which were in last year but here is a list of cities EA solicited for community logo and uni designs:
San Antonio
London
Los Angeles
Mexico City
Toronto
Orlando
Salt Lake City
Brooklyn
Memphis
Chicago
Sacramento
Columbus
Portland
Austin
Dublin
Houston
Oklahoma City
They may have others as well.
As an aside just like with player editing this is a failed opportunity to give players more customization to add our own logos and cities in game instead of the EA deciding where I should move my team -
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.Comment

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?Comment

Re: Relocation cities
I wouldn't be surprised in the least if the NFL had a say in it as well as team names. Roger does rule with an iron fist. NFL does have a bigger say in what does and doesn't make it to the game than people think.
Having said that I am excited to see some of the new uniforms/logos. I didn't like the Marshalls uniform in the stream at first but seeing them in the game I loved them.Comment

Re: Relocation cities
One city I am surprised was ignored is San Jose, it has the 10th largest population in the US and a very passionate fan base (not to mention IRL some of the largest corporations are based there).
I really hope they fixed the uniforms for Portland and Sacramento. IMO they had some of the best team names in the game. I really love the River Hogs, Lumberjacks, Condors and Miners names. Too bad the uniforms were all stuck in the 1990's design wise. I liked what I saw from the Marshalls uniforms (except they still have a love affair with the color black) so their is hope.Comment

Re: Relocation cities
I still like this development team, but so far they are starting to repeat the patterns of the past that led to a bad game. Gameplay is an exception, they are adding to the game.
But as far as CFM goes we are starting to see them add a feature one year and then not improve it but instead add another (somewhat incomplete) feature the next year.
They say they "tuned" owner mode financials but other than that it was left completely untouched. And that is sad because it needs a lot of work.Comment

Re: Relocation cities
1.My comment was not completely off topic as relocation pertains to owner mode. They did not add to the list of cities you can relocate to.
2. Which brings me to this: owner mode, aside from "tuning" was left untouched. Remember, owner mode =/= CFM.
Compare the complete list of improvements to M25 CFM to what we know so far about NBA 2k. How do you think they stack up?Comment

Re: Relocation cities
Except they completely redesigned every team relocation uniform, fixed all the pricing structures to actually matter and fixed the endzone/announcer problems of moving existing teams and added coach firing mid season. You may not agree with these changes made but it was hardly untouched.Comment

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.Comment
