Re: Madden NFL 15 Connected Franchise Details, Trailer and Screenshots

Everything that was added sounds good to me ive been playing football games on PS since Gameday 98, NO sports sim game will ever be perfect because it is what it is a simulation video game. As consumers we will always find something wrong with a product, what they have done this yr I think is amazing an is worth a pat on the back. I enjoy Madden every year,this is still the beginning of this gen I guarantee the game will get deeper an deeper. Cause when madden finally give those that look for things to complain about, then we will be hearing that dont make changes. Play Madden, compete, an enjoy.

Does cfm have a web interface? What can you do from the web, is it as good as their NCAA football game?

The upgrades sound good for only year two of next-gen, my only issue is that it looks like they are still wearing game uniforms in practice? This always bugged me, can we get shorts and shoulder pads practice uniforms please.

Dont think theres any truly great news in this announcement. Some positive changes but some of the biggest things remain untouched and they took a step backwards with draft classes.

I was going to buy the game either way though. Just hope they continue to build from here

I'm completely underwhelmed. This isn't the amount of progress I was expecting...

Huh? They took about a million steps forward with draft classes.

How about a true coach mode in CFM?

Re: Madden NFL 15 Connected Franchise Details, Trailer and Screenshots

Maybe I just missed it, but there doesn't seem to be any mention about the ability to customize/edit anything INSIDE of the franchise, specifically can we edit players or attributes at all? The draft classes are now random......great. Can we edit them?? This is what, I believe, most of the hardcore franchise players were concerned about. Most everything in this "announcement" seems to be inconsequential bits or just adding back what we could do already during the original xbox days. I hope there is more info around the corner!

Re: Madden NFL 15 - Connected Franchise Deep Dive

This isn't my opinion/belief its the judges in the lawsuit. That quote is directly from their ruling. The basis of the lawsuit was that EA used the player likeness and allowed users to edit names, hometowns, appearance etc. The Judges agreed with Sam Kellers claims. The problem EA ran into was not that you did it in the privacy of your home, but that they allowed and enabled you to upload it to the internet for anyone to use and see.

But again EA used player likeness out of box..the opinion of the court was that EA did everything possible to make players as close to real as possible without "naming" the player..the issue isn't that "we" the customer would create this it's that EA did so without compensation..not sure how this would effect custom draft classes..if anything at the MOST they would not allow u to share on EA servers (but again that would have to then stop any file sharing of rosters because if I create a roster Sept 1 with college players etc)..but again this would have no effect on custom draft classes or edits for that matter..

Huh? For Online Leagues They took about a million steps forward with draft classes.

Fixed your post.

The people who want real draft classes or at least the ability to edit draft picks got nadda, zilch, zero, nothing (from the draft classes) - which by my estimation, equals a million steps backwards.

Re: Madden NFL 15 Connected Franchise Details, Trailer and Screenshots

That's not taking step backwards. That's staying still.. Lol

The random draft class is a huge welcome for online leagues, I do agree about sucking for offline but it's sure not going backwards because it wasn't touched.

I guess so. But Looman said they spent 8 months making sure that realistic attributes/ratings are given to the draft classes based on position and round.

Except we lost NCAA, so we lost draft classes which was the last avenue we had to draft real college players. They should have added the option to edit drafted players if we want. Instead they did like Sony did EA Access program and made the decision for us. Sad.

Re: Madden NFL 15 Connected Franchise Details, Trailer and Screenshots

I may be stupid for asking this question but you can control all teams like last year right as the owner?

Also does confidence go down when you sub out guys during the preseason? I don't want Romo playing more than two series the first couple of games. But if he loses massive confidence because I "pulled" him from a preseason game things will get very tricky
