    Re: Owner Mode in Madden 25 Connected Franchise Confirmed?

    Whike I still dont expect much from this years Madden. It is good news that it appears the focus is going much more to gameplay and franchise mode. With the exception of MUT, the EA team may finally be focusing on what has made this franchise so great in the past. If they truly focus on gameplay, and franchise mode, that experience will make a much more quality game for all aspects, on-line included. (I wish they would include fair play back)

    I believe the engine is too broken on this generation of consoles to make any significant strides. However, the direction they appear to be headed could transition very well to the next-gen systems.

        Thinking about it, I actually think I'd rather play as the Cowboys head coach under Jerruh so I can pull my hair out over his being a digital jackass in addition to a real-life one.

          If this turns out to be what we think it will be, what will happen if I get to the 20th year of my franchise as the Bills? Will Ralph Wilson be like 113 years old????

            As a Cowboys fan, born and raised, I completely agree with that assessment LOL!!!

              I'm excited but just so tentative about what to expect. A real owner mode could go so many directions. Guessing there's no GMs, just owners and coaches (making AI the GM, if you 'give up control' of some elements of running the team)? Personalities and traits that influence drafts, trades, coaching personnel decisions? Will Irsay tweet? Can *I* tweet and have owners/press react, influencing my relationship with other owners (even canned agressive/passive/neutral responses to events/tweets). Competition Committee, allowing you to tweak the rules as long as you can get the other owners to go along?

              Not exactly a transient position either, so harder to reasonably see that in Connected Franchise. And what does an owner bring to Ultimate Team I wonder? If you can figure out that last one then you can probably figure out the lowest common denominator for what the position brings to Connected Franchise.

                Packers don't have one, lol.

                Mark Muphy by default?

                Maybe for Packers owner the 12th fan or something like that.

                Good one TracerB, almost lost it over a soda.

                  I say make control just like Owner Mode was before. Basically you're in control of the franchise. You're the GM, the coach, the players everything. You have control who is the coach, who you're players are and everything. The more control the better, they should have learned that by now.

                    The fine print of the ad says Eddie DeBartolo Jr is only available within connected franchise. Presumably, Joe Montana and Bill Walsh are available within connected franchise and Ultimate Team, just as they were last year, because there is no special note by their names in the ad.

                      I want to believe this has more to do with General Manager responsibilities than anything else, in which case it might make more sense for Ted Thompson to be in the game.

                      Alternatively, they could call me up, I'm a Packers' stockholder.

                        Re: Owner Mode in Madden 25 Connected Franchise?

                        I wish I could go back and see how owner mode worked in the old Maddens again. I remember the owner mode in MVP Baseball was both extremely frustrating but very rewarding if you were successful (I was also pretty young back then, so I probably didn't know that much about how to be successful lol).

                        It would be kinda cool if you could do "Fan Appreciation Day" (pretty sure it was in the old Maddens) and have like a towel giveaway or something and they'd show a cut scene before the game of everyone waving towels and mention that there was a giveaway before the game or something like that. Or if you raise ticket prices too high, fewer people show up and the commentators mention that, etc.

                        Also, the old uniform editor (the one where you could actually choose the NFL team logos along with a lot of generic logos) would be nice to have back, though I thought I remember hearing that there was some sort of copyright issue with that or something.

                          i loved the tony bruno show. he was like Collin cowheard and it was a very good show. Also loved how when you get a player with a crazy last name like Craig Krenzel former Ohio State national title winning QB. The announcers during the game would not say his name. But tony Bruno did when i broke a record for most passing yards in a game. so that was cool. Keep twitter and the bruno show. Madden looking very good so far though.

                            This is interesting really.

                            Will we see "Ralph dies" popping up on twitter? Then a random new owner buying the Bills and deciding to move them to Idaho?

                              I was a 2K head back in the day, so remind me--what was so great about owner's mode?

                              I know that you could sort of...improve your stadium (I think?) or set season ticket prices. But what else could you do that is remembered so fondly that we cannot do now in CCM?

                              Change unis? Build new stadiums? Other things? For some reason, all I remember was the Tony Bruno show, which I liked, but I didn't play a whole lot of Madden games once the first 2K game dropped.
