This video should sound familiar to the OS tribe.

Discusses Pro-Tak tech and a similar dialogue we had here a few years ago with the same person Eric Rayweather is referring to.

Good research by Eric Rayweather.

There are solid points, especially with regards to resources, etc. Can confirm: more people isn't always better.


Of course, the proof is in the pudding. Another year of the exact same scouting/drafting of players will be disappointing to me.

Good vid

I knew about the franchise engine, but only to a small extent. Figured that once they moved to different engines and different architecture that it would affect franchise. Anyone who was a tiny knowledge of coding knows it isn't as simple as copying and pasting old code or devs being lazy.

FranTik(or however it is) has allowed them to not lose features. But the main issue with Franchise is they haven't put emphasis on it. I never blamed MUT or online features. I just blame the focus on modes like Longshot and Face of Franchise. That took away from Franchise. Besides this year, we mostly just got 1--2 simple things from community wishlist in the other years.

But, I do think we will see am overhaul with next gen. This should be the time to anyway. I like Mike Young and Haumiller. I always preferred NCAA to Madden. Think that Moonlight Swami can make a difference. With Looman gone, I see them going away from the Connected Franchise style. I do think this is the year we get Coaching Carousel. If NHL got it before Madden, then I'm sure we'll get it in Madden.

Good idea starting this thread. First next-gen madden would probably be 2021. That leaves us with what will this years version bring us? It's gonna be interesting reading peoples thoughts on this !

Awesome video. Appreciate the link. This explains a lot... I've personally been of the believe that a larger team would be a positive, but it looks like that's not the case.

On another note- the amount of bugs in QB1 is astounding to me. Tried it a couple weeks ago and every college game I had 10 men on offense, FBs playing Slot WR, O linemen at outside WR. It was a total joke. Tried it a few different times with the same result. A back of the box feature in a game like Madden that has bugs that are that obvious 7 months after release is mindblowing to me.

I'm surprised you don't recall the same conversation we had here from a year or two ago.lol
