Re: Owner Mode in Madden 25 Connected Franchise?
As awesome as it would be, I just don't see the NFL allowing that. I loved last gen when teams would relocate and take on an entire new identity. It's just one of those things like tattoos where they won't allow it because they feel it demeans their brand somehow. It's supposed to be about the 32 teams, not fictional teams and what not. It's stupid, but it's the way it is.Comment

Re: Owner Mode in Madden 25 Connected Franchise?
I find it interesting that Debartolo is in it, but Al Davis isn't.
I know Uncle Al had a general problem with authority, but with Baby Davis essentially having the rights to the Davis name/image, I'm really surprised the WalMart pack isn't featuring Al/Madden/Freddy B instead of Madden/Flores/Biletkinoff, especially if an owner mode is present.. With how much Al used to micromanage the team.
Nonetheless, maybe he is in it and just isn't part of the pre-order bonus..
Good find nonetheless!Comment

I am about sick of the NFL and their brand "over-protection"!!!As awesome as it would be, I just don't see the NFL allowing that.

It is bad enough they are not paying taxes - http://thinkprogress.org/alyssa/2013...mpt/?mobile=nc
but then they are priced so high most people have to save for months to go to a game and seriously once the game is in my console, I paid for it, it is now "my brand"...Comment

I really hope this is in the game, and I think it is.

Take ultimate control of your franchise."
Plus, at least 2 owners are available for the game through preorder. I hope owner mode will still let you play the games though, as coach mode does.Ravens: In Ozzie We Trust

Re: Owner Mode in Madden 25 Connected Franchise?
Yeah I think he's in it if there is OM but they probably didn't want to make it too obvious and put several owners in pre-orders.I find it interesting that Debartolo is in it, but Al Davis isn't.

Or the Davis family asked too much for the right to use his name. Or just didnt want him in the gameComment

Re: Owner Mode in Madden 25 Connected Franchise?
Can't wait to hear about Owner mode in Connected Franchise on Monday. This is what I've been looking forward to for a monthMadden 11' Franchise should be
Madden '10 "foundation" + depth of Head Coach 09 = my dream franchise mode.Comment

Re: Owner Mode in Madden 25 Connected Franchise?
Yeah I'm the same. I hope it has some depth about it and isn't just a gimmicky feature. The fact that it was originally going to have a playbook to itself is very promising.
The features announced on Monday will likely determine whether I buy Madden 25 or not.Comment

Re: Owner Mode in Madden 25 Connected Franchise?
Likewise. Owner Mode is a huge market gap I'm surprised no one's pounced on.
Seriously, 2K and Sony, you have a huge opportunity here! Get on it!Comment

Re: Owner Mode in Madden 25 Connected Franchise?
I agree also but I may buy it anyways so I have an updated football game.
Hopefully one day 2k will make another football game.

Re: Owner Mode in Madden 25 Connected Franchise?
That's one thing I love about the Show is the ability to sell food, drinks, merch, etc. at prices. Granted, that money is important for salary cap purposes, but it would be fun to control the entire aspect of a team, from coaching staff to stadium upgrades (that are shown) to even relocation.NFL: Houston Texans / Carolina Panthers

I liked fan appreciation days from PS2 days, was a cool way to off set the crappy team coming to town - also was nice to run up score on CPU in those games...That's one thing I love about the Show is the ability to sell food, drinks, merch, etc. at prices.

I hope they tone down some of the "upgrades" as in no "teleportation devices" or some of the other crap they had last time around and that they actually have some impact on things
- upgrading facilities should impact FA's view of your team (slightly but an increase), medical facilities perhaps increase TGH rating or slightly increases injury ratings and so forth.
Five Star restaurants or pubs should generate money in offseason (Curly's Pub at Lambeau Field) and when it comes to naming rights -
give us some cool and recognizable companies - Dr Pepper Dome, State Farm Field, Coca-cola Colosseum. Don't give us crap companies that we never heard of and the -
contracts should be realistic - ie you own team/stadium you get money for naming rights, with bonuses or kickers for playoff games and SB appearances, plus extra for "hosting SBs"...
Side note, it would be cool if certain players (even created/drafted players) were tracked in terms of "jersey sales".Comment

Re: Owner Mode in Madden 25 Connected Franchise?
Well, they would have to get the rights for Dr. Pepper and such to have their names in the game, but yeah, when I played Madden 09 for the Wii, the Owner Mode was there and it was fun, except when randomly playing other teams you would have Candlestick Park become Auto Care Stadium. They have Papa Johns in the game and they have gotten ads from NCAA in their intros. It would be cool to see real ads around stadiums, so it makes it feel more real. It becomes a minor annoyance when I keep seeing the same fake ads and stuff, but oh well.I liked fan appreciation days from PS2 days, was a cool way to off set the crappy team coming to town - also was nice to run up score on CPU in those games...

Yeah, the facilities should help bring in FA, similar to how you can upgrade your coach to get better FA in Madden 13(still hate upgrade ideas for players, but that is besides the point)NFL: Houston Texans / Carolina Panthers
