    Madden NFL 15 - Upgrading Players in Connected Franchise is a Little Easier This Year


    Madden NFL 15 made a slight change to upgrading players in Connected Franchise, based off of this image captured from the livestream yesterday.

    You will now be able to decide on everything you want to purchase and confirm with a single button press, instead of one at a time. While it's not much, it's a nice time saver.

    Let's hope we hear more about Madden NFL 15 Connected Franchise soon.

    It does show that you can just chose to upgrade by 2 attribute points with out having to confirm purchase twice. Looks like in the screen they are going +2 on Pass Block. That will be nice instead of going 1 by 1.

      Interface design is appealing to me this year from what I've seen.

            Hopefully it's just a slider and you increase it and it gives you a total instead of a set package.

              That's what it looks like on left it shows 2000 something for upgrade and on bottom right it looks like +2 is just over 4000. I think that's what you meant by slider.

                Yes....except the math doesn't add up in that screen for some reason. My interpretation is that you increase the attributes of each category by moving the slider to the right and it gives you a running total and you press's confirm with one button after you adjusted all the sliders.

                    I think that's exactly how it works.

                    The math probably doesn't add up because each time you upgrade a point, it costs more to upgrade it another point. It's possible that the two points that were upgraded both cost 2082 and the next two points to upgrade cost 2162.

                      I agree. Maybe you get a discount for upgrading more than one attribute on a category cause I believe the total should be 4224 instead of 4164. Unless it was say 2000 for +1 and then went up to the 2162 per point when you add the next attribute point. Hope that makes since

                        Also possible that the numbers don't add up because it may be a final mock-up rather than a screenshot, i.e. the concept artist doesn't know math. :-P

                        On a more serious note, this usability improvement makes me very happy.

                            When I seen this thread I got excited thinking we got something new lol. I seen this last night and it looks like it will be easier to upgrade players.

                              Makes me very happy too. Now just need to know how we are earning these XP points to spend. (please tell me it's via a mini game training type mode with individual drills)
