I'm liking almost everything I read there but have they fixed the stat tracking? Assisted tackles and half sacks specifically.

How is it different from what's been in NBA 2K Association for years now? You could game plan in NBA 2K to boost a player or your team ratings, and they have a player morale, role system that affects their confidence, ratings and if it gets to low, they even request to be traded. How is Madden's different?

The problem with 2k's morale system was backups and rookies would often get upset for not starting and have negative morale which wasn't very realistic. If this work's as advertised your backup QB won't lose confidence because he is not starting.

Is there any news about creating draft classes?

Won't be in this year's game, probably won't be any game for quite some time. They did randomize the draft classes this year though which is huge for Online CFM.

Looks like some great additions for this year, with some improvements on last year. Can't wait to see what the people with early access say about it

I don't have an XB1, but I am assuming they have ability to share videos like PS4, so it will be nice to see some gameplay.

This is honestly about what I expected this year.They are very welcome additions to the mode and should (provided they work as intended) keep me dialed into the mode longer than I was last year. This coupled with the defensive and presentation improvements should make for a rock solid edition of Madden this year. I understand the gripes, though, and I am hoping the team drops the hammer next year and blow CFM out the water. But these tweaks will to for now in my book.

For me the best part is random draft classes with branching storylines and draft audio.

I hope that we have to random "generational" type of impact rookie like an Adrian Peterson, Randy Moss or Andrew Luck.

Not sure if this was answered yet but on another blog from a game changer he said this has been fixed

What blog was that?

From the way Josh talked in the VSN video it sounded like we will see those players. If you haven't watched it yet I would recommend it as he goes into a lot more detail on each feature.

would assume it works the same way it did last year.

Re: Madden NFL 15 - Connected Franchise Deep Dive

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..

There is still ongoing litigation against EA, this was only one lawsuit and one in which they settled for tens of millions of dollars. Until these lawsuits are all settled, EA's legal team won't allow them to put themselves in any similar situation.

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

I really hope formation subs are back in. Seeing my star WR/CB/LB/TE etc on kick/punt coverage and no way to set it is unacceptable.

Why that was ever taken out baffles me.
