New Madden NFL 25 Screenshot, Feature Playbook Dates Revealed

Well then you clearly no nothing about Madden, you will find everyone cares about AI. What do you mean that' nothing? How can Madden be good when the AI is stupid. Think.

I think your sarcasm meter is broken.





Then again you never know around here. I really, really hope that was a sarcastic post.

Well, i know its only a "screenshot" but i gotta say it really looks beautiful. screenshots can be decieving but the attention to detail in the art/graphics looks amazing to me. that said options and gameplay will dictate this games success.

Considering the second blog for Connected Franchise is on May 20th and NCAA Dynasty is May 28th, I'm going to predict that in the 2nd blog for Connected franchise they will announce imported draft classes have returned. That way when they mention it in the Dynasty blog it wont be ruining a surprise for madden fans. Considering madden is the bigger money maker, it is logical to assume that EA will want a Madden blog to break the news. Doesnt NCAA usually release their dynasty blog before madden would release a career blog? This all seems logical and would explain why Madden career mode is going before an NCAA career mode.

If the imported draft classes bomb is being dropped in the 2nd CFM blog, I would assume the Madden share consists of sharing rosters, settings/sliders, and custom Teams. Anything less than that would be a disappointing feature. It would be great if custom playbooks were thrown into that as well.

One thing that always disappoints me is how they focus on things in development cycles instead of just working on the game as a whole. Like I would almost guarantee there will be no new catch animations this year. I'd also be surprised if they worked on the passing game anymore at all this year. This football in compartments mentality has got to be remedied next generation. Nothing wrong with having a focus for marketing purposes, but just because they are focusing on one thing doesn't mean they have to neglect something else.

I get the impression that this is something they have to do given the short dev cycle. I don't like it either (compared to the alternative), but it appears to be an unfortunate reality of the situation.

Things needed for online franchise/CCM
- Transaction report
- More control for commish i.e. veto trades, limit trades, reset games
- Being able to see player individual ratings while bidding on free agents in the offseason
- Player feedback when in contract negotiations i.e more money, more years, want to start...
- Set a date and time for auto advance of franchise
- Some kind of in game messaging system

Just a start of what I'm waiting for

dont forget all 32 team control

I don't believe so. I just think this is the way the studio and EA decides how to market and develop the game.

In my mind, that all comes down to irrational "priorities" of the "management" per the http://www.operationsports.com/featu...ustry-part-ii/ blog that is on the home page.

Every day, every single business day someone should be tweaking something, tinkering on a separate build of the game, every day the game play coders should be removing unused code, adding in better logic and so on.

I'm really just hoping for a much solid gameplay this year then in past years. Also looking forward to see what Franchise connection is bringing to this year madden. Hoping Owner mode is finally going to make a big return after all these years. Ready for the info to start flowing.

A dev cycle they created by trying to get yearly revenue out of the release of their sports titles and are now locked into by contracts. It may be the unfortunately situation but it was one entirely created by EA.

Now that I think about it, wasn't there some kind of share feature coming to the PS4? Could it be some kind of next gen exclusive feature and maybe be our first look at it? Wonder if the new Xbox will have some sort of similar feature.

The PS4 deal is broadcasting your game as you play for others to view. It requires no developer support. In other words, that feature has nothing to do with the game you are playing - it, the feature you referred to, is contained within the PS4 hardware.

That said, I am hoping the share deal is custom files (playbooks, rosters, gameplans, stadium sounds, sub packages, draft classes)!!!

We are all hoping for Madden Share to be for draft-classes, I bet money that it is some 'revolutionary' feature where you can shared created players..

[ghettogeeksta]

The run free feature intrigues the most, I'm hoping this means they completely re-done the running animations to make them look more realistic. Unfortunately I can't get excited about CCM or anything else when the game play aint right.

Re: New Madden NFL 25 Screenshot, Feature Playbook Dates Revealed

I wouldn't get my hopes up that Madden Share pertains to draft classes.It was already implied that their created draft classes were the way they planned to go for now at least.I don't want to be the party pooper but it would be wise to keep expectations low and be pleasantly surprised if anything useful comes out of it.

Re: New Madden NFL 25 Screenshot, Feature Playbook Dates Revealed

IMO, MaddenShare is either:

-The new version of EA Locker. Franchise files, roster files, etc can be shared directly from console-console or through a cloud.

-Live look-ins on friends games or online CCM games.

With any luck, both.

Edit-A 3rd option would be the ability to compile/share highlight videos.
