Roleplaying in Madden

[Dwaresacksqb]

Ok I would just like to discuss some cool ideas for a true roleplaying experience in Madden. How cool would it be to actually spend all that money you make as a player or coach. How cool would it be to actually have a balance in your bank account. The possibilities are endless. You could spend your money on a crib, cars, furniture, clothes, tvs, decorative items, your wife lol. It would just totally emerse you into the game. Playing good on Sunday's and signing that big deal would mean so much more. Getting traded for a higher contract would be huge. Onto of that, give us interviews. Ask our player/coach questions with multiple possible answers. Allow the media to use those answers to either love or hate us. Bring us on the set of NFL total access after a huge game or even a video interview. Ask us questions in the locker room not just post game. Simulate other player and coaches interviews. Let us hear what other player/coaches have to say about us. Imagine the rivalries!!!! Let us take photos in instant replay and hang our favorites on the wall around the crib. Heck if we get really good they could have a huge picture of you in the background of the total access set next to the likes of Tom Brady and Adrian Peterson. Give us a car and deal if we are the superbowl MVp. The cool thing to is if we are connected online. They could constantly give a new material to buy. Like a new house to download for a possible purchase. New clothes, whatever. Oh and please let us walk around our crib and wear our favorite suit or whatever for interviews. Before we start the interview we could select our attire.

Anyway. I just wanted your thoughts on this and maybe you could add some more ideas to the list. This could be huge the topic explodes and we push for it. EA would listen since roleplaying is where they said they were headed. Please discuss

Re: Roleplaying in Madden

Why? You didn't enjoy having a crib on 2k5? You don't enjoy interview on Nba2k12? Those games were hugely successful? Would you like to explain why you don't like features put into a game to make it that much more interesting.... Please explain lol

Simple answer: We're playing Madden, not The Sims.

Having stuff like interviews in a player mode? That's one thing. Managing funds and bank accounts? Not so much. I already have enough trouble managing my real life bank account. Money management isn't what I play Madden for.

Not for a madden game. Tiburon needs to focus on gameplay and presentation likes it is on game day. Any time taken away from that is a waste. We already have to get through year 1 of a three year cycle...we don't need them to go off on a tangent for future years.

Re: Roleplaying in Madden

So you didn't enjoy your crib on 2k5, while most other people did. where you could look at your trophies and pictures and purchase furniture? Or were you old enough to play that game?

sure the crib was cool but it wasnt tied to a player mode. The career modes in the football games have always been ****ing garbage and if it was up to me id have them axed all together and put the dev time somewhere more useful.

I just have no interest in being some diva NFL wr who stacks scrilla and ****s hos on the reg u smell me

Re: Roleplaying in Madden

I think instead of new features and pointless perks in Madden 14, they should spend most of the time making gameplay better AI wise and continuing to add features we had in previous Madden to CCM. And maybe a TeamBuilder website for Madden instead of having the crap Create A Team feature they've never seemed to change since Madden 04.

I would be happy to create a team and not have it replace a current team. Even start a new division or a LA team Roger Goodell talked about once. Then they can call this game a realistic sports RPG.

I was 22 when 2k5 was around and I found the crib stuff not fun and took away from the game. Now that I'm even older, something like that would be ridiculous in Madden. The only thing the EA team needs to adopt from 2k5 is the Chris Berman presentations. Other than that, the game is starting to head in a better direction.

Lol I was 10 when I played 2K5 and never even visited my crib. First Person Football was a great idea though the passing could of been improved in the game. I got mad whenever I tried throwing the ball and it'd do a pump fake because I didn't hold the button long enough and got sacked.


ESPN Football > 2K5

Re: Roleplaying in Madden

I just disagree. If 2k13 came out with those features and espn presentation with interviews like I stated. It would BURY Madden. They have that stuff in NBA and it works very well for 2k. Keep wishing for perfect A.I. In a game as complex as football and you will never be happy. Need to be innovated.

Re: Roleplaying in Madden

I'm for some things to bring a tiny bit more immersion into player CCM.

Managing money? Buying houses? Nah... But I would like to see contracts play some sort of role. (Hell give me a percentage of my contract money as EXP...) Make practices more personal, not just random grinds for EXP.

But all that superficial stuff outside of the game seems pointless to me. Getting arrested for a DUI and being suspended randomly however... Now that I could get behind.

Because buying Mansions and getting DUIs is what EA wants to sell to kids.


I agree. All of that is pointless. I wouldn't mind better presentation but right now, they need to actually fix the AI so all of these features and modes would be worth something.

I'd like to see contracts getting exchanged with EXP. In both coach and player. The money issue is pointless. If you offer Drew Brees 20m a year, he should say 20,000 XP a year just for his contract. That way, backups would Atleast get some XP.

Head Coach was developed by Donnie Moore and Josh Looman so I have faith that this kind of stuff will eventually make it to ccm

Re: Roleplaying in Madden

I just think this would be huge. Heck if you play on the same frachise as your friends online, they could live on the same block as you. You could see their trophy room and items..... Heck you could have an affair with his wife lol joking. But seriously, I think it would blow up and people would love it. What I'm asking for isn't much more than what 2k12 is doing for their NBA game.
