Re: Madden Companion App Available Now For Android & iOS

Can anybody suggest a free way to just look at stats for a solo online franchise? Export options?

Thank you

You as the fans have a big voice in what we build. Not only do your words matter but also your actions. The more you use the Companion App, then the more we will improve it. We want to make sure we are always focusing on and improving the most important features, and we look at what you use to help us make these decisions. We build Madden for the fans and that means YOU decide the future.

Spend xp from the app for one, however, this is where ther is a ton of potential.

Set depth chart
Access settings
Slider adjustments
Cut players
Trades
Views stats (we can generate them)
Big decisions

Thhe list could be pretty comprehensive, and if the goal is to take the game with you on the go, and keeping the game in gamers hands, these things are all essential.

I love the app, and the export feature, but it should be much more comprehensive.

Yes those are great additions it needs. They Removed some features DL had last year , just putting them all back would be a good start.

From the EA Blog:
"There are many Franchise fansites that provide a great service to the community, and now you can safely integrate stats from your league into these websites using the new Stats Export feature. You simply put in the URL for your favorite fan website that supports this feature..."

Uhh... what site is there other than DL? (I'd like to export to a free website if possible...)

Good luck. I searched around and couldn't find anything. Now maybe it's too new and stuff will start popping up in the next few weeks/months. I will say that I dropped the $25 for DL and now that everything is working correctly it is a very nice interface. You still can't do anything as far as spend xp, sign players, etc (basically anything interactive) but it is a really cool place to have all your league history and to be able to go back and see that stuff, for me, takes the immersion factor to a whole other level.

Yeah, pretty funny how EA acts like there's tons of DL-like sites to choose from when the truth is there's only one site to export to.

Yes its great for online leagues especially. So much easier to sort thru so much data. Also , once you have a league page hosted there, if you renew the next year the price is reduced. To any league that plays most of the year or year round, the cost is very minimal. Thats about 2$ a month. Thats very well worth it.Just to be able to filter thru all FA or even players on other teams, all at once, and set filters so it only shows say all HBs with trucking over 84 , with the simple click of a button, is just awesome.Or show all LT with run block over 85 and pass block over 82 . Just makes things so quicker to sort thru. The time it saves me alone is worth the 2 $ a month.

I believe they said it because they expect other sites to pop up and try to mimic what Daddy Leagues does, and has done since madden 13. Which would not surprise me.

However alot of data gets stored on its servers, which does cost money, so like most things now in days, id find it hard to believe a place that holds as much data as DL does , plus the time and work that goes into making it work , keeping it running well ,staying on top of things and trying to add new things, most would be willing to do for free now in days.

May be true, but EA Dev Blog acted like we already have dozens of sites to choose from (or at least more than 1). No offense to DL whatsoever, and clearly they are outstanding and have no competition (ironic, EA) but only because as you said no other site currently exists or comes close.

But it would have been cool to export stats at least as a csv or excel file (never mind another web site), to create your own charts/graphs/progress tracking.

Re: Madden Companion App Available Now For Android & iOS

I have a really dumb question: is this app and the associated DL site only good for online CFMs? I'm assuming so, but I figured I'd ask.

Yes. It has to be online so DL can pull the data from your cfm off the ea servers.

Those features are gone because now users aren't actually logged in to the EA servers as themselves as they once were via DL. It was a huge security issue and one of the reasons this all came to be. I'm not sure they can be added back through DL without reopening some of those vulnerabilities. I do know they will come back to the app over time though.

Yep, that's what i was hoping for. It was obvious that DL wouldn't have that functionality back sayings how already generated data is only exported.

The app definitely has a lot of potential. It would be awesome to scout and draft from it when we are away from our console.
