    EA Pushes Back Connected Franchise Playbook to May 20th



    EA was scheduled to release everything we wanted to know about Connected Franchise mode in Madden NFL 25 (or at least the first half of everything we wanted to know) tonight with Madden 25's Playbook #3. Tweets are flying online that suggest EA might have cancelled their reveal tonight, pushing it back to May 20 instead with a two part reveal of the 'new' mode. It's possible EA felt they couldn't reveal just part of Connected Franchise and wait a couple of weeks to reveal the rest, so they're doing it all on the same day.

    Update: EA confirms the playbook has been moved back, "We're going to reveal all Connected Franchise features on the 20th so fans can get all the news about the mode and it's features at one time. So we're not canceling the first Connected Franchise Playbook, but are rather combining it with the other one so that all the details are announced at the same time (May 20th). We'll also be supporting the announcement with assets (blogs, videos, etc.) in the days after the announcement, like what we've been doing with the already-released Playbooks."

    Here is the updated schedule.
    • Connected Franchise - (May 20th)
      Cement your legacy as one of the all-time greats and take ultimate control of your franchise.
    • Madden Share - (June 24th)
      The best content from around the Madden NFL universe, right at your fingertips.
    • Madden Ultimate Team - (July 1st)
      Enjoy new ways to play and build your team in this year’s edition of Ultimate Team.
    • All-25 (July 8th)
      Celebrating 25 years of Madden NFL's best of the best.

    So there you go. Are you bummed? Understanding? Anything in between?

      SMH EA, I was the biggest fan of Madden growing up. It was by far my favorite gaming franchise since I started playing in 92'. Something has happened over the last 7-8 years and these guys just do not seem to "get it".

          Overreaction much? All they did was postpone a feature reveal. We will still get info, just a bit later than expected.

          That isn't to say I'm not mildly bummed at this development, but this isn't anything to get up in arms about.

            If that is the case, can we at least get some other feature reveal instead to replace part 1 of connected franchise mode?

              Standard EA, they really do not care about Fans what so ever. Wow. I have been waiting for the news all day.

                  Good! Now replace it with something gameplay related and give some of us a reason to care about CC.

                    There has to be something behind the scenes for it.

                    Why wait till the last minute to cancel this? I don't buy it's because "they didn't want people to wait for the rest of the info" at all.

                    I'm afraid something that was to be discussed, may not be making it into the game, or something to that effect.

                      Other priorities in my life to be bothered with a delay.

                      No biggie.

                      I'm with Bezo, though, sneak out some more game play news.

                        Mad at EA for rushing out video games.

                        Mad at EA for postponing preview videos of upcoming game.

                          That's cool. After last years CCM mess I have pushed back my purchase until mid-September after I see if it's worth the trouble.
                          Don't look back too long and don't look too far ahead.

                              Sounds like they weren't ready to release the news. Like someone else said, much bigger things in life to worry about. I'm just asking why pick a date you know your not going to meet??
