Re: Madden NFL 17: Franchise Mode Adds New Play the Moments, Super-Sim Features

Have there been any details released on exactly what league info will/can scroll across the ticker or are we pretty much just going by the few screenshots we've seen thus far? I'm envisioning it for all kinds of things, tweets, contracts, injuries, breaking news, the draft, etc but don't want to get too ahead of myself, lol.

I feel like it'll only have scores/stats but I could be wrong. Hopefully they surprise us and put in everything you mentioned.

It's just an in-game score ticker, not a full-on CFM ticker. It's only scores, goals, both, or nothing.

"While playing your game, you will see score updates occur from games around the league. For example, if you’re playing a 1pm Sunday game, you will see score updates and stat lines for all the other 1pm games. If you’re playing a Monday Primetime game, you’ll see final scores tick by for all the other league games. If you’re playing in a Cloud league with your friends, their played games will be treated like every other game. The ticker still gives you updates on goal progress when relevant, too. There is a setting to show everything, just scores, goal updates, or nothing so you can customize it as you see fit."

I dotn get why everyone is happy with player editing. I mean its a start i guess but i want to be able to edit players before the season give them names and all of that set potential or whatever so when the draft comes its fair. I've heard people say "oh so i can make a RB form LSU" yes but you picked him up in the 7th round and gave him this great potential or OVR. SO the draft is going to be screwed up. IDK maybe ill feel different after playing with it, it just seems weird to do it only post draft

I know people really really wanted this, but I still think a draft board should've had priority. However, was it really difficult to turn on editing of players? I cant fathom that took a lot of dev work.

Curious to see if and how any online leagues plan to incorporate this. I really dont see our league using it unless we allow users to change names/school, anything but attributes and salaries. Now having said that, I hope we can easily keep track of this. We dont need users tweaking their players attributes and would be nice to know if they do so. Perhaps an enable/disable option will exist. Thought, itd be nice to have it set up where you can edit a players name/school type stuff while disabling meaningful things like attributes/salaries. Or just let Commissioners only do it but let league see any changes a Commish may make

This also means supersim has finally been re-worked. Just amazing.

I just hope they implement it correctly as they are advertising

These all sound like welcome additions, however I'm hoping they also tuned CPU roster management logic - specifically free agency and re-sign logic. CPU teams didn't ever seem to retain role players or younger prospects last edition.

I wonder if we can change in-game-sub player positions. I mean in M16, if I want to change Khalil Mack to OLB in some formations, because he is normally DE in the game, I cannot do that, right? That must be the most stupid thing in the game. I hope that will change.

Does anyone has an answer for that?

All the additions so far sounds great.

Re: Madden NFL 17: Franchise Mode Adds New Play the Moments, Super-Sim Features

Mack was the first player ever to be named an All Pro OLB and DE in the same year. Are you telling me we can't use him as an OLB in the game? Haven't bought Madden since 25.

Man my heart still hurts that there's no coaching carousel or anything like the sorts. I really just wanna start as a coordinator and EARN a HC job somewhere.

It's already easy to move Mack around in the Raiders playbook.

Full player editing may also help you.

It's already easy to love Mack around in the Raiders playbook.

Well we could edit his position maybe, but I mean as to use him as an OLB and a DE in a game. In some formations as a DE and an in some as an OLB. Because in M16, I couldn't find a way to use players in two separate positions in a game.

Re: Madden NFL 17: Franchise Mode Adds New Play the Moments, Super-Sim Features

so with full editing does this mean that we can actually create a player that ISN"T a rookie like we used to be about to do before madden 2012?, or are we stuck with only being able to create rookies therefore vetrans would be allowed on the practice squad

You can sub in OLB at DE position and vice versa. What you can't do is sub an OLB in DT.

I wonder if they changed the same lame faces for player creation...since they have been in for like 10 years...but love all the other news.

Really? Have you try when I get home. Could it be that I don't have the option bc Mack is so fatigued that I can't play him at the moment when I try to put him as an OLB.
