EA Play Questions/Requests for Madden 18

[Millennium]

Well...hello there...

I will be attending EA Play this weekend on behalf of Operation Sports. BEFORE WE START - I will NOT be capturing off screen gameplay. I believe it is a terrible representation of gaming in general and shows all games in a horrid light.

WITH THAT BEING SAID I'm asking you, the OS user, what you would like to know from this conference that you may not see because you are not there. I will have conversations with any and all of the devs so fire away and I will try to answer what I can.

Also make sure to follow my Twitter (www.twitter.com/MillenniumOS) and the official Operation Sports Twitter (www.twitter.com/OperationSports) as I will be posting from both. I have also been told I will be able to stream live from the event so make sure you are following the official Operation Sports Twitch (www.twitch.tv/OperationSports) as it may be live during the weekend with more information.

Re: EA Play Questions/Requests for Madden 18

Here are my top three:

(1) - Is there an off-ball injury / offensive line injury system in this year's game?
(2) - Are there customizable draft classes in this year's game?
(3) - Can we finally play both offenses / all-time offense in CFM games like we could a decade ago? More people play this way than you'd expect.

Do you mean control both teams and just play on offense?

CFM Questions:
With addition of MUT OC, DC, HC in 3v3 will we now have option to hire/fire offensive/defensive coordinators?

Will there be a coaching carousel?

In Free Agency, online CFM will we still be able to see how many points each player has received and from which teams? (It kills immersion and suspense)

Will teams continue to draft QBs in rounds One and two for consecutive years?

Has scouting/combine been touched?

Will player's scheme not matching or matching team scheme mean anything?

What has been improved to help replay ability and immersion in CFM?

Will lockdown CBs be rewarded, or is CB "success" only based on interceptions?

Will we continue to see atrocious regression year to year where players are losing 1-2 speed every year after they turn 28?

Will player morale be re-introduced?

Will there be season-long fatigue effects?

Will it be harder to find a franchise QB, or will most QBs be completely competent wether it's a 75 OVR or 99?

Have more realistic contracts been introduced like the ones in HC or 2k where you can change how money is broken down over he contact, and have incentive triggers in the contracts?

Will injury ratings really matter this year?

Wil there be a practice mode that actually rewards you, kind of like in NCAA road to glory or superstar mode in 06, where reps and average rep score can add/boost attributes?

Will crowd noise affect the game?

Will the addition or subtraction or injury of a star player affect other players in the locker room on the field?

Have player roles been reintroduced like in madden 05-06 or badge systems like in NBA 2k?

Outside of having a full functioning 32 man CFM, what is madden doing to raise the bar for FRANCHISE MODE for solo gamers that could rival MLB The show or NBA 2k?

Will injury history be recorded and relevant like in the real NFL?

Will AI adjust to the things you do over and over, or are tendencies only recorded on a game by game basis, rather than all season?

Will the ticker at the bottom include important plays/stats/league news?

Can commisioner control league wide assists or options for each player? For example turn ball hawk off for everyone, turn kick assist of for everyone, have no field visuals for everyone?

Will every play be challangable?

Re: EA Play Questions/Requests for Madden 18

Would like to know if season mode or a similar feature is returning or will ever return. Would really like to just have a single season option with full control and accurate rosters/stat tracking

Re: EA Play Questions/Requests for Madden 18

Please do not repeat questions. I'm taking the time to do this for you - pay me the same respect and take the time to read the thread.

Re: EA Play Questions/Requests for Madden 18

I'd just simply like to find out anything and everything we can about the specific differences in the 3 playstyle settings. Especially Sim mode which is where I'll be spending the bulk of my time.

Re: EA Play Questions/Requests for Madden 18

Please can you check if the tackle sound made it back in after its absence in m17?
If you get to see any of cfm are they still using xp? Or using a new system?
Have they scrapped the really cheesey muscle pose introductions?
Are there variations in player movements, QB cadence more than 17?
Does full team true step look like it made it for player footplanting?
Any significant improvements to line play or is it still the binary win or lose button battle?
For the love of cthulhu has tackle battles been removed? And can the green/red box be turned off finally?

Re: EA Play Questions/Requests for Madden 18

1- will there be a way to disguise any defense ( outside of base align, bluff blitz, and the very few plays designed in game to show one defense but run another)? There was once a pre snap option called def disguise ( but it never worked)

2-Will coach glass be fixed for madden 18? It would only work for 1-1.5 quarters tops in madden 17 then crash and could not restart it.Is that going to be fixed?

3-Is foot planting going to actually be in madden 18?

4-With no closed beta for madden 18 due to lack of time, what will the team be able to do to ensure as little as possible bugs in launch of game?

5-When will we get the cfm blog? ( i got a feeling it wont b during e3, but after)

6-Can we play H2H, and other modes, in simulation gamestyle ?

7- Is there a custom camera in the game?

Re: EA Play Questions/Requests for Madden 18

Would you be willing to check on a few face scans for me? My biggest request is A.J McCarron from the Bengals. Marlon Humphrey CB for Ravens would be huge too. I appreciate all any help you can provide us. Thank you!

I will not be looking for face scans at an EA Play early access event.

Re: EA Play Questions/Requests for Madden 18

Will true step be available for all 22 players including user ?

Will weather affect the ball when in the air?

When pointing out the Mike what attributes are affected and will it be only qb attributes or oline and qb attributes?

Can we get qb to have all special moves behind line of scrimmage when scrambling?

Will be able to setup scrimmages within CFM with other users? I know wishful thinking

Will we have more stories behind rookie class other than 2 short sentences we get about their progress thru college season?

Will user players who roam entire field during one play experience increased fatigue?

Re: EA Play Questions/Requests for Madden 18

Has QB AI been improved?

Will we see scrambling QB's take off and run more? (I never really seen the CPU QB take off and run a lot)

Do we have the option now of open/closed roofs? It was in exhibition mode but for some reason was left out in CFM.

Other than the top 2 community requested features for CFM has anything else been added?

Will the CPU be better at roster moves, trades, free agent signings, and drafting players?

Can you play the scouting combine in CFM?

Will there be training camp drills you can do before the season like in old Maddens?

Is there dynamic weather?

Is the simulation play style the same as playing Madden 17 or have they improved it?

EA Play Questions/Requests for Madden 18

Figured I would get an odd one out there as others will likely ask about other stuff...

Any possibility of allowing users to adjust quarter length, game style, game speed, etc. for OFFLINE MUT? Allowing for full length, sim style games offline might introduce the mode to other players that would otherwise not touch the mode.

What are the legacy issues that Rex stated were fixed in Madden 18?
