So it's looking like they've added the option in Connected Careers, or Connected Franchises, to play as a team's Owner now. Which is fucking awesome. Hopefully though they actually put forth some sort of effort into your team's coordinators. Like maybe make sure to put them in the game....??

What I'm getting at here is I want to be able to play as the Falcons owner and at some point promote Nolan to HC.

Awesome an owner mode... haven't seen that in a while

Would be cool if they had Al Davis as one of the owners you could get.

No shit.

Playing as an Owner in Connected Careers (er--Franchises) is a step in the right direction from only being able to choose a player or a coach though.

Does that mean the possibility of relocating teams? I remember in the PS2 versions you would see CPU teams relocate to different cities if they start losing a lot money. It was funny seeing teams like the Colts or the Dolphins moving to cities like Mexico and Las Vegas in future seasons.

Christ you're dumb.

Christ you're dumb.

And you can go fuck yourself.

No shit EA regresses more than they progress in certain areas, that's just the way it's been, figured that was common knowledge by now. I'm not going to bitch about the (obvious) fact that EA has completely shit the bed as far as PS3/360 football goes. Connected Careers was a stupid move in my opinion but at least they're adding the option to play as a team's owner now, which should've been a choice last year.

introduicing heatseeker tackling...you decde what tackle to use and the game steers you in to the ball carrier
sounds like a bunch of canned animations again.

It's probably the alpha build of it but some of those heat seeker tackles looked awful.

Luckily if that heat seeking tackling is garbage, you have the option of turning it off.

I really hope they don't slack on that Chip Kellly Eagles offensive playbook. Thinking of all the teams that would be good to use that offense. Definitely Bills with EJ Manuel with Spiller. Jets as well now that they have Geno.

Can't imagine they will. Game will be out before anyone sees what his NFL gameplan is so....

They will probably take some plays from the Oregon PB in NCAA football, similar to the 49ers playbook Harbaugh's first, year while mixing in some traditional sets.

speaking of plays/play books/option plays...why add all those over amped option plays in both games- I say that because obviously unless you know some of the video game secrets, those plays cause your defenders to act stupid and get sucked in the middle of field- they took out all the the defensive QB contain plays this year. Whats up with that ?

[j.hen]

New video was very meh, some of those tackles look ridiculous.

Well I hope they still implement the outside zone read and the inside zone read and then get the PA passes off of them and then some other play designs he ran at oregon. Maybe include some of the formations he had. EA imo tends to do a good job at figuring out a lot of what teams will run before they run them. Chip Kelly did say he plays to run more of a pro style offense though so who knows, maybe some of that stuff will be canned. I'm sure not all of it will though.

I remember when Chan Gailey first came aboard for the Bills they added a Jet Sweep handoff and then I remember it actually being ran in a game against the Chiefs. Same empty backfield formation with Fred Jackson slotted to the left.
