Re: Is Owner Mode It?

I agree with you Big. It seems like there was nothing to both blogs. I remember reading tons of info just on how they redid their stat engine to get more realistic stats a few years ago. I hope there other additions besides changing prices and marketing t shirts. I am thrilled they brought back 32 team control and import mode, but it does seem like not a lot of info.

I can see why they grouped the two together.

Re: Madden NFL 25 - Playbook 3: Connected Franchise

Im skeptically excited .

I have been in this position with EA one too many times before where they have put lipstick on a pig and called it beautiful .

Hopefully this time they can deliver .

There are now alot more questions than answers but for the time being i will give EA props for trying to bring what we should have had for years now .

lmao that pig line just made my day.

Re: Is Owner Mode It?

Agreed !!!! I like the Owner Mode information, but what about the Coaching aspect? Will we actually be able to just coach from the sideline?

I did read one of the articles which stated that depending on your personnel, such as trainers, a player may return from injury with degraded attributes, or not...(A good start)...

What about game plans? The same old system or can we make custom plans? I see in one of the screenshots that there is a "strategy" select with X's n O's, I am assuming this involves game plans at least, but to what extent?

Is this only part one or the entire thing about CCM ?

Re: Is Owner Mode It?

I would assume there have to be more details for this that will come out. If its not said by june 10th (e3) or at E3 then I would assume its not in the game.

At least I hope there is going to be more info at E3

Unless I skipped over it, I didn't see anything about a player editor during a franchise. Sure hope that is still in...

Cool, we can move teams to a new city. And from the looks of this screenshot, we'll be able to keep the same team name and logo (look at Jags logo on left).

I'm curious if the team name choices vary by location because both Beats and Dodgers are totally Brooklyn but if you changed the location would you get new team name and logo options?

I'm totally stoked this is back, when I was younger I moved the Denver Broncos to Portland, OR and became the Portland Brewers but could only use the Shamrock logo and be referred to as the "home team"/ "away team"

This is so much more thrilling.

Hoping to hear what I can do as a Coach....

Re: Madden NFL 25 - Playbook 3: Connected Franchise

Just to add to this, on the podcast Josh Looman says you could move say the Rams to LA, call them the LA Rams, build them a stadium but keep the name/jersey/logo etc or you can change everything and give them a new name/jersey/logo.

Hopefully I can move them, keep the logo and name, but give them different jerseys!

"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

I think the names are tied to the locations. If you look at the Dodgers photo there it's also for Brooklyn, so I'm guessing each city will have at least a couple different options. The reason for the pre-determined names and cities is to allow for the commentary to account for them instead of referring to the teams as home/away team.

Everything sounds cool and all but I'm admittedly underwhelmed, hopefully the next gen news tomorrow will peak my interest more.

It's a smart move. It hinders creativity but it will be programmed to make your new team feel more natural.
