Are you implying that a white guy couldn't be named LaDarias?

Before someone says something and gets banned for a TOS violation. No more race talk. Only warning. Not picking on you, but this is post I immediately saw and am quoting. This applies to everyone.

Some people can never be pleased, they worked hard on the game and for that I'll spend my 60 dollars.

How is confidence going to change my players performance? Does it just lower my overall. Heading into the game.

I really want to see an in depth blog thingy detailing what affects confidence.

If I play as the Ravens and draft a QB in the first round will it impact Joe's confidence?

Hopefully in the future they add to it so that some players are more sensitive to such changes. Some players handle adversity better than others.

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

Im not sure how they took any steps forward

That graphic showing players interest levels while in free agency is a thing of beauty. Cant believe it took this long but at least its here

It was mentioned that low confidence negatively affected "key attributes". There was a screenshot on the blog with Ryan Tannehill having low confidence, and there were red down arrows next to his Throw Accuracy Short / Medium / Deep ratings.

It appears that the reduced ratings are visible in this screen; out of the box, Tannehill's accuracy ratings are 87 / 80 / 70, per the ratings reveal blogs.

This is a little thing but I was just wondering they said teams will wear alternative jerseys this year. Does this mean they will wear throwback jerseys as well?

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

Well, 1 thing I noticed was missing and at this point I am going to assume has NOT been fixed. But, if anyone has heard, please, chime in. When u supersim DURING a game, does it factor in the play clock now? FINALLY?? U know, so that if u supersim an entire quarter, u don't throw 70+ passes and rush for 300 yds with each play lasting 7 secs with no play clock runoff?? This isn't a deal breaker for me, BUT it's just one of those things that irks me when trying to run out the clock with 5-10 min left if I'm up by a lot and other random times I want to use supersim.

Draft classes got overlooked again... guy was touting random classes as if it was a new thing. Yeah its an improvement if it prevents people from internet scouting, cool. So it was a bad idea in retrospect, thats not new over at EA.

I want to know what their long term vision over there is for career mode. Those rookie recruits need to be convincing. I saw a screen with a rookie on it - still a generic face that doesnt look right next to actual pros.

Im not trying to cry about it, just pointing out that - tuned stats aside - we'll be drafting the same stale players as before. All I can hope for is that they dont make these player models look slapped together on the field. Matter of fact, just take out those bulky elbow pads altogether.

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

Though I am one of the biggest champions of custom draft classes, you are fooling yourself if you think its absence will cause EA to lose a lot of customers.

Sales have already dropped quite a bit and I know quite a few people who skipped Madden last year for just that reason and are skipping it again for that reason.

Not saying they will lose millions of customers...but probably in the thousands. That is a big deal to ALOT of people, and a big reason alot of people even bought NCAA to begin with when it was still being made.

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

Not true bud. I would love to play through a season and draft the real rookies like we USED to be able to. An edited draft class would work just as well. If this wasn't possible with CCM/CFM then maybe CFM/CCM is a failure. I say this because its looking like the "logic" with CCM/CFM supposedly wouldn't work.


Why wasn't this thought of when CFM/CCM was born/created/designed?? This should have been possible from day 1 imo along with editing ratings inan offline CFM.

First off, you do realize there is no NCAA video game right? So how are we supposed to draft real rookies anymore? I get it, editable draft class, but this is where you contradict yourself. You say you only want season mode, you don't want nothing to do with the draft, but yet you want editable draft classes? I know everyone else does but why would you want editable draft classes if you only play one season and want nothing to do with the off-season?

Also the whole fake rookies thing is a stupid argument. If you weren't aware, after 4 seasons of NCAA, all the real rookies are gone and your importing fake players anyway. So either after 4 seasons, you either import fake players or use the fake draft classes? Since you don't play more than one, guess what? The league becomes a league of fake players after years of playing it.

Nah man, not trying to pick a fight. Just trying to understand where you were coming from, and I didn't play Madden on Xbox or PS2 after 06 so I'm not familiar with features that continued on.

My point about complaining was meant in jest (see the bit about "half of OS"), but obviously was worded poorly. My fault. Hope you find what you're looking for in Madden eventually.

I find it funny he is so passionate about this that he resorted to name calling but yet he says you were trying to start a fight. Just needs to play one season in CFM, start over. Guess it's too difficult.

Re: Madden NFL 15 - Connected Franchise Deep Dive

Your two points is something I want to know about as well. The relocation thing, yes being able to choose any team name regardless of the city would be a very welcome addition. I also noticed they said that you may be better off building a new stadium, or relocating. In M25, the only way you could build a new stadium is by relocating, and you couldn't just build a brand new one in the same city. Does that mean we actually can build a new stadium in our current city?

im 90% sure you can build a new stadium in your current city if the current stadium is bad enough.
