Have questions for the Madden team? GIMME!

[mikesuszek]

Hey OS friends, I'm chatting up some Madden folks this week about Connected Franchise in Madden 25. I figured with all the news hitting today, it's a good time to see what you guys would want to know. So lay it on me! You have about 36 hours.

Can you edit players? If so, how extensively? (Equipment, ratings, physical attributes, personal details, etc...)

Is offseason AI better? If there is 32 team control, its not as big of a deal, but it would be nice to play a franchise without feeling the need to control every team to ensure realism.

Sim stats? Are they more realistic?

Im sure I have others....the edit players thing is the make or break part for me. if you cant edit ratings at least...looks like another year of Madden 12 for me.

Can we edit game plans? Save plays run in practice mode after making pre-snap adjustments, to be used in game plans?

True Coach Mode where the coach is on teh sideline and calls the plays and adjustments and the teams does the rest?

News on CFM presentation elements, a HC09 wear n tear injury system, player morale/chemistry, off/def coordinators, pregame formation subs, mass substitutions, contract holdouts, etc?

46 man game day rosters? I too want to know what presentation improvements are in the game. What is Adam Schefter's new role in the game, Mike Young hinted on this but there's nothing out about it so far, new commentary? What improvements were made in audio in general for Connected Franchise, any studio wrap ups or news pieces each week talking about league news, injuries, playoff chase, etc????

Re: Have questions for the Madden team? GIMME!

1. Did they bring back the defensive camera view for any of the modes?

2. When playing as a player in connected franchise, does the camera still follow the ball instead of your player like it was in Madden 13? This made it near impossible to play as anything but a QB/RB/WR.

3. For an online connected franchise, does every owner/coach need NCAA 14 to import the draft class or just the commissioner of the league?

4. Has there been any improvements to the depth chart?

5. Are there any consequences from being a poor owner or will your franchise go on no matter what? <- already answered in a different interview.

6. Will the fluctuation of the fanbase, based on the Owner's decisions, be reflected in the stands during a game? Will we see a visual increase or decrease in fan attendance?

Re: Have questions for the Madden team? GIMME!

Did they fix previous errors with importing draft classes (Andrew Luck type players in NCAA being 7th round picks in Madden)? Also, how will the game determine the development ratings for imported players? I would be very disappointed if they just make every player from the imported draft class be a normal development.

Can we change player positions?

Will we be able to see combine numbers in the draft? 40 times, Bench reps, etc.

Can we see player info while in the Free Agency screen? Ratings, stats from previous years, original draft position, previous team, etc.

Can we set formation subs outside of a game? That way they are remembered for every game and I can stop getting delay of game penalties for the first few drives of every game.

Coordinators?
How big are coaching staffs?
Can I see attributes during free agency?
Do CPU controlled teams relocate?
Dynamic attendance in accordance to fan happiness?

Re: Have questions for the Madden team? GIMME!

1. Did they make any changes to injuries? Specifically, will there be nagging injuries where your star player can play through it, but his ratings will be decreased and his chance of a more serious injury go up drastically? Or the locations on the body where the player is injured having the appropriate effect (i.e. a guy coming back from an ankle injury may have his agility and acceleration slightly lowered)?

2. Did they fix the graphical malfunctions from importing draft classes from Madden '12 this year?

3. Is there going to be a practice squad or gameday inactives?

4. Are draft pick trades actually going to be somewhat reflective of the draft value chart, and players being traded also reflective of what their draft pick compensation would be in real life? (i.e. only needing to give up a late round pick for a 30+ year old guy with a contract that isn't team-friendly, etc)

Is it to late to fix/tweak the zoom cam in M25?

Re: Have questions for the Madden team? GIMME!

in commish new tools:
-1. Can commish fix a team if someone comes in a league and just drops all the players to mess up the salary of the team? does commish have option to undo this?

-2. Can commish set players on auto ( or simuate) from the CF(if they still have it) website?

-3. Can people do the draft from that CF(CCM) website?

-4.Can commish suspend actual players.

-5. How about a list of the commish options?

now not dealing with commish options:

-1 . Will the schedules actually be different each year including offseason?

-2. Will there be a better challenging system? like will it work everytime it offers u to challenge, and can you actually pick what your challenging?

-3. As focus on the coaching end, can we create custom playbooks in online franchises? Create custom plays?

-4. Can we change our playbooks whenever we want for our practices without having to retire our created coach and lose all our coaching xp just to change playbooks?

Re: Have questions for the Madden team? GIMME!

Are there real free agent coaches (Gruden, Lovie Smith, ect...), or all they all fake?
46 man gameday roster?
Wear and tear injury system?
8 man practice squad?
Any presentation updates? (not including the menus)
Do CPU teams relocate or build new stadiums?
Is there anything you can do as a coach that you can't do as an owner?

Re: Have questions for the Madden team? GIMME!

Is full player editing in in Owner Mode? Can we even edit the player model (skin+face) of a player? Would help us fix drafted players who look nothing like their portrait.
