Yes....................................

In the past you couldn't import into an online franchise just offline. Just a simple question.

Looman said on the podcast that draft classes will have different overalls for players everytime.

thats still not a totally randomized class. overall is only thing being changed ,and i dont think it will be randomized, it will just change slightly from one league to another. i am wanting to see totally randomized attributes across the board, not just awr and prc to change the overall. i mean u can change a guys overall by 10 points in dif schemes. just not enough for me. i can bet u there will still be cheat sheets on them , wait and see.

I would imagine, it's all one mode now. The real question is does everybody in the franchise need NCAA 14 or just the commissioner?

With the whole Madden Share thing they haven't talked about yet, I'm betting we can share rosters and draft classes I'm hoping.

Re: (GoodGameBro) 'Madden NFL 25' CFM: Owner Mode & NCAA import are back

People really still believe this was the case, huh? Many realized perfectly well what Connected Careers was and, no, it wasn't "exactly what they were looking for."

Actually on occasions in Gamestop people brought back Madden 13 pissed of as they "removed franchise mode"
I witnessed it first hand. You have to remember most don't go into these forums like here at OS. They simply know when Madden is coming out and grab it.

This will be very interesting to see how this plays out. I don't think all users would need NCAA 14 but it is EA you never really know.

Re: Madden NFL 25 Connected Franchise & Owner Mode Articles From Around the Web

Also wanted to point out that these articles state that only 17 cities have been provided for relocation, including cities EA deems are capable of holding more than two teams (Chicago and Houston included).

Also, as many have said, the names of the teams are limited only to a few city-specific names (based on cultural/city-specific details). This has been done to prevent Jim and Phil from saying "home team" or "away team".

These are all fine and good, but I have a few questions:

1.) If 17 teams decide to relocate, does that disable the feature entirely?

2.) Are the stadium/uniform editors any different than in previous games this generation? Since the jump to 360/PS3, these features had much fewer options than their PS2/Xbox equivalents. Something tells me these features will be also be improved for Gen. 8 versions (PS4, New Xbox).

My last question doesn't have to deal with relocation, but:

3.) Will real-life assistants return? In Madden 13, the majority (if not all) of the free agent assistant coaches you could hire were generic. I hope this isn't the case, as I really liked assembling combinations of real-life coaches last-gen.

Re: Madden NFL 25 Connected Franchise & Owner Mode Articles From Around the Web

That's where playing as an owner intrigues me the most. In years past, if you moved the team, you were forced to rename it, remake their uniforms, and give it a nearly generic logo from a terrible clip-art package. Now you'll be given the option of keeping the team's name and colors (an extra knife in the back to the fans you left). Or, if you want to rebrand it, you'll be given a series of logos, uniforms and nickname choices that are designed with the sensibilities of the 17 potential relocation cities—Mexico City, Toronto, Dublin and London included—in mind..................


Very interesting

.

If 17 teams decide to relocate then there's other things to worry about. Anyways when a team moves I'm sure the city they left becomes available.

I hope that's the case, though I'm not sure how that fits in with the "specific nicknames" EA's talking about. But whatever the case is, I'd like to see how it's implemented as my expectations are quite low to begin with.

Re: Madden NFL 25 Connected Franchise & Owner Mode Articles From Around the Web

I like the relocation info so far...Am curious on one thing - Lets say I move the Tennessee Titans and want to have them go back to their "Oilers" name and use their old uniforms, home and away, which are currently alts in Madden 13, could I do that?

"Can't wait to ruin some poor franchise by trading for Tim Tebow and signing Mark Sanchez to a $40 million contract extension."

I read this somewhere and just died... lawl

+1 ...someone after my own heart. It'd be great to bring the Oilers back. I'd disband the Texans soooooo fast.

I doubt thats in right now.You have to sometimes thin as a dev if they added in tha ability to do that it would be really hard to sell for the next Madden about relocation etc.You would be like well I can move my team ear the throwbacks this and that why should I buy the next Madden? I think there making great strides but there not going give us everything in 1 year honestly.

Houston is one of the options for relocation. Wouldn't surprise me if "Oilers" was one of their nickname options.
