Some Madden NFL 15 Connected Franchise Details Have Been Revealed

[oneamongthefence]

Gamestop always seems to release a few nuggets of information before game companies do. It looks like they have come through yet again with a few Madden NFL 15 connected franchise details. While it isn't much, it's definitely something worth talking about, at least until EA Sports and the Madden team decide to.

Connected Franchise - Interact and build your team with more control in Game Prep all-new to CFM. Want to develop your backup QB? Between matchups, spend extra time on him each week to earn training points without having to force him into the real games before he is ready. Also new in CFM is the Confidence rating system. Build your teams' confidence through performance and front office transactions. Balance keeping player's confidence up, to increase abilities and build player XP.

Let us know what you think.

"Oops"

Confidence could be awesome... the development piece too depending how it's done.

Re: CFM info from gamestop

I'm going to guess the thing about developing the back up QB is the new type of practice they are introducing this year. It kinda sounds to me like the confidence thing is kinda like team chemistry maybe. I like what I read can't wait until EA releases CFM info.

CFM info from gamestop

wonder what they mean by "increase abilities"

could they implement something similar to 2k's Signature Skills?

maybe I'm reading too much into it

well we will be getting CFM info soon enough

I don't know if anyone has noticed this but Gamestop has a little info on CFM.

"Connected Franchise - Interact and build your team with more control in Game Prep all-new to CFM. Want to develop your backup QB?

If this has been posted or mentioned it can be closed.

Burning question here is "Will the AI use it too?" If so this sounds interesting, if not...

Re: CFM info from gamestop

I'm pretty sure the confidence rating was in madden 25 already as a trait, but you couldn't adjust it. I'm guessing now you will be able adjust it with xp.

Re: CFM info from gamestop

It was in Madden 25 but it was based strictly on player performance. But it says team and it sounds like it fluctuates based on coach/owner moves. Maybe that means if you're a coach and make questionable decisions, your team will not play as well as they could.

Re: CFM info from gamestop

lol, a few weeks back I made a post where I jokingly spoiled the new improvements to CFM and guess what, I was pretty damn close. My skills at prophecy aside, I'm a little upset about this.

Re: CFM info from gamestop

If done correctly, this could be the best thing theyve done in recent memory. I have great ideas on how it should be implemented, but it all depends on the final product. This has the ability to be great, and if it isn't now - they should be able to improve upon it next year

This x100. If not user teams will be more dominant over CPU teams.

I do like the idea of developing back ups this way. If implemented correctly

Re: CFM info from gamestop

i hope those things are for coach and owner to play as because play as player sometimes pain in the *** with stupid ai teammate if you chose as QB and give ball to RB and run.. let ai cpu play on defense is boring if you not play defense

Re: CFM info from gamestop

They need to get rid of the XP system and shift towards a numbers based progression system. Either that or implement something similar to what The Show uses.

I like the idea of developing your backup QB though. Hopefully the CPU will use the feature as well.

[Sub_ZERO2777]

Lets just hope ea with fix the drafting by the cpu for example when i was in my draft the 49ers took a qb in the second round and a punter in the 3 lol WHAT!!!!! , I also hope the fix the re-signing players in madden 15 it was close to impossible to sign back your player without go overboard .and lastly i hope the fix the ratings i never understood why someone like j.j watt would be 99 overall when i use the Texans but a 82 when i used the bengals?

That sounds pretty awful. Confidence sounds interesting and like some sort of team chemistry mechanic. Don't know if I like the fact that being confident helps your players xp increase. And the last thing I want to do during my season is spend extra time not playing the games so if it can't be simulated, it'll be a complete failure to me. But because of online, I think it will be exactly the case. Hopefully, there's a lot more "little things" like with the gameplay.

We'll they said they made the AI smarter and when they added the moves to the d-line ppl asked same will the cmp use them as we'll and EA said yes so I don't see why the AI wouldn't use this.
