Madden Companion App Available Now For Android & iOS

Re: Madden Companion App Available Now For Android & iOS

Working on getting an interview with Rex or John, but my understanding was the plan on release 1 was always to give commissioner tools and DL support. The following version you'd pick up player cards and some other functionality and eventually a bunch of things. Like I said though, working on getting someone from EA to lay out the plan on record.

Point of clarification....Give a public API or specifically "DL support"?

The intent is to be open, but the process for getting the API has not been revealed yet. Right now DL is the only one with it but that's not the long term plan. I'll ask them if I get a chance about the process for getting it.

I'm eagerly waiting for them to tell us how to use the data it sends in the HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA array. It appears to be compressed, and thus, I need to know the compression method to decompress it.

Thankful at least we can sync our stats to our Daddy League site, and as a commish i can put people on auto , or force wins from app.

However, i really hope they add alot more to this app.

Daddy Leagues allowed us to :

sign, drop , trade players . As well spend player XP ( in a much cleaner way than the ea website did) See transaction log, see a breakdown of our rosters. None of which is available in this app.

When your in a 32 man league, and people living on the go and busy, alot of us used DL to provide access to do all that on the go, without having to load up the game .

Hopefully all those functions makes their way back soon to the app, Glad its out , but cant stop there.Glad DL is back up and running , providing great service to our leagues since madden 13. Great support for the community.

Just did a podcast with some thoughts on the app.Some thoughts after recording and posting, I think what people may be missing is the fact it isn't a "CFM" app but rather a companion app. If it had been left to a CFM app it could possibly die quickly if the usage didn't dictate upkeep. By them combining MUT and general engagement items like the twitch embedding and dev blogs it will drive traffic to the app making it more worth while.

As for CFM, I think they accomplished exactly what they set out to do when they started. My understanding is "phase 1" was to get commissioners access on the go to control league, and a SECURE third party integration. They have now laid the foundation though to really add some cool features as we go. I think this is the start to a new era for Madden and I personally am excited.

If you want to hear my whole take on the app, and it's value going forward, you can listen here.

I can see where they are going with this and am very appreciative....no fire from me right now. Good job EA, now keep it coming!

[PardonTheAmbush]

So... are you guys the aforementioned "3rd Party Site"? 'Cause I wanna start me a Madden Dynasty on my page soon and it would be amazing if had some help from the app with that.

There should be an HTTP header sent that indicates the content encoding, specifically "gzip" in this case.

Re: Madden Companion App Available Now For Android & iOS

So I signed up with Daddy Leagues to try all this out. Figured $25 bucks for a year isn't bad. Anyways it has been irritating me all night. So I'm in the Divisional Playoffs in Year 5 of my Saints cfm. So I sync from the app and everything seems to work okay. But for whatever reason the stats only go back to Week 3 even though I selected all weeks in the app. Anyways while not a deal breaker I really wanted the full season. Now maybe the info isn't there on Ea's side. I don't know. So I mess around by clearing stats and clearing cache and then syncing again. Unfortunately now nothing shows up on Daddy Leagues even though the app says it's all good. Blah. I will say when the data was showing up originally it was pretty damn cool.

Theyre probably inundated with hungry cfm'rs.

Try going under admin < sync area on your DL page, and hit clear cache, and wait a few minutes and refresh. If that does not work, open a support ticket,Papi will prob get to it more tomorrow,as he had quite a bit going on this afternoon, as im sure you can imagine.

I know for my league, i exported the data and it took a while before it all showed up, after i cleared cache.
