Madden 25

[KNUBB]

New rule for the thread, if you're trolling, you lose access to this section. None of this site's Madden players (which is half the site populace) will even touch this thread cause of the assholes in here.

There's no way to focus on anything about M25 because you cunts need to cry about how wronged you have been and how Madden 08 didn't have your set a hot dog price feature. Nobody cares.

I'm not trolling but this isn't a good look bruh. No need to be like OS

[killgod]

VSN has said no trolling out of the locker room, rarely enforced, but it is what it is.


I'm sorry I'm trying to steer the conversation towards Madden 25, than repeated "you're a fucking fanboy" posts. Like, really, you're saddened he can't continue?

[Argath]

I'd still like to wait and see if Owner Mode even works on release date. Can't wait to see videos of Green Bay moving to Mexico City after winning the Superbowl. EA has one of the worst track records when it comes to "new features."

[BigBucs]

Cats are hard on EA & Madden, but I view all the sport gaming companies as generally the same...they all ship games that have bugs, they never really drastically change the core features......NBA 2K's franchise mode's been basically same for like 5 or 6 years dating back to the PS2 days lol....in NBA 2K12 we had to abandon our online association it was so glitched...2K didn't bother to patch it either......and don't get me started on 2K's shitty servers....servers that have been shitty also since the PS2 days....

The Show has basically been the same core game since MLB 07, and this was the first year SCEA attempted to at least upgrade franchise mode.....I remember skipping MLB 11 because the biggest difference from '10 was was they added analog controls....the rest of the game was a glorified roster update with slightly better graphics....but for some reason SCEA gets a yearly pass and EA gets hammered for the same crime

EA's biggest flaw with Madden is stripping the features and then putting them back years later under the guise of new......I understand that pisses guys off......That is about the only difference between SCEA, 2K & EA, they usually don't strip the core features from their franchises.....but in my eyes, you're not a hero for not upgrading your franchises on a yearly basis either....all companies read from the same handbook when you ask them about a possible new feature, [start lie]"oh we thought about getting that in there but there wasn't enough time. It's definitely on our radar for next year though"[/end lie]

CCM last year was probably the most drastic change in any of the sport franchises, I wish 2K and SCEA would do something radical with their respective franchises like EA did with Madden

Im not a 2k player but I think 2k gets the slack that ea doesnt because of their game play. Im sure they both have broken or missing modes and features but 2ks on court representation of the NBA shits all over EAs effort to replicate the NFL. You can tell a Kobe from a Lebron, from Durant, Paul, Kyrie etc.... You have the same generic player styles in Madden. I get there is a lot less players in the NBA but the level of detail they put into their game in comparison is laughable. You dont have to have distinctive player styles for every player on every 53 man roster but something has got to give.

Its been the community that has made this game great over the years, the game itself has been shit (relatively speaking) for quite sometime considering their money and resources. Think about all the work arounds we have to create year in and year out. We shouldnt have to use sites like Madden Daddy in this day and age.

Connected Franchise Deep Dive

Mike Young is the Creative Director for Madden NFL 25. He has been involved in the franchise since 2008, starting as Art Director on Madden NFL 09 He previously worked on all four NBA Street titles, and also served as Art Director on NBA Street Homecourt.

Hello there! I'm here to talk about the improved – and renamed – Connected Franchise.

For those long-standing fans of the series, I'm pleased to announce the return NCAA Import Draft Class. You’ll be able to take your draft classes from NCAA Football 14 and import those players directly into Madden NFL 25. This was one of our most-requested features, and I know fans of both games are going to be thrilled.

Next up is a personal favorite, offline 32-team Control. Fathers and sons, coworkers, roommates, and more can play multi-player leagues all on the same couch. If you couldn’t decide between controlling a player or coach last year, why not do both in the same Franchise? It’s the perfect option for those who like to manage all aspects of their team.

Do you want to change the sock heights of every player in the league? Change schemes for your opponents? Play every game? Well now you can. Simply add more characters to control during the initial creation flow or anytime thereafter and you’re all set. Our goal was to give players the opportunity to have as much control over their Franchise as possible.

If that wasn’t enough for offline Connected Franchise players, Madden 25 also includes the ability to start a league with a Fantasy Draft Before you start your Franchise, you can choose to throw every NFL player back into a pool and essentially restart the league. This feature is available both online and offline, so anyone and everyone can engage in the fun of reshuffling the entire NFL landscape.

On top of these huge features, you'll also notice a slew of improvements, starting with a refined user interface. Connected Franchise is slick, snappy, and supremely organized. Furthermore, we’ve reworked the trade interface and added a transaction log.

We’ve even added the ability to change your players’ positions. Move cornerbacks to wide receiver (or vice versa), transition your defensive end to linebacker and more. With Connected Franchise you’re able to truly build your roster, your way.

We’ve also included even more legends, bringing the total to more than 50 playable characters. Play with Iron Mike Ditka as either a coach or a tight end, or see how Randall Cunningham stacks up to today’s mobile QBs. There are so many more great players, coaches and even owners for you to discover once you hop into the mode

On the presentation side, we’ve got a lot of exciting additions for your Franchise experience. Darren Rovell, Paul Lukas, and Mike Clay are just a few of the new names in sports media that will bring added depth to the News Center. Commentators will also fill you in on standings, season stats, last week’s game and more. In addition, experience all-new branching Draft story lines brought to life by Trey Wingo AND Adam Schefter.

We wanted year two of our career mode overhaul to be massive. That is why we have added the Owner aspect to Connected Franchise. With the ability to control a single player, coach, or owner on every NFL team, there is truly something for everyone. As the owner, you hire staff, respond to the media, set ticket and concession prices and manage your stadium.

You can even build a new stadium or relocate your franchise. All of this is on top of everything you could already do as a coach, so you can still upgrade players and have full control on the field on game day. What this also means is that we have real owners in the game, which allow you to compete as or against owners like Jerry Jones and Robert Kraft.

So, why the name change? Last year in Madden NFL 13, we introduced a brand new experience that re-imagined what a career mode should be. We named it Connected Careers to clearly communicate that what we had built was completely new. It spoke to the innovation, social connections, and RPG elements that were new to the mode. Now, with us adding several Franchise-specific features and the all-new Owner mode, the name Connected Franchise speaks perfectly to the experience. You’re not just controlling a career anymore; you’re controlling an entire franchise or, if you want, 32 franchises!

Madden NFL 25 will be available on Tuesday, August 27, for Xbox 360 and PS3, and fans can learn more at the Madden website. Pre-order today to receive exclusive Franchise Packs for your Connected Franchise and Madden Ultimate Team!

Fans are also invited to become a Madden Insider for exclusive information on Facebook including the latest news, original content and more for Madden NFL 25.

NFL has exclusivity with all their products, but your tin hat theory says otherwise so it must be true.

You're a fucking waste of time. Go back to OS.

I saw the dated email from an EA Exec. And your the one that started the name calling.

[Argath]

Take over the full bottom line responsibilities of the owner in addition to GM, coach, and player duties in Franchise Mode. Features include relocating your team and building a new stadium and setting all prices including food, merchandise, and parking. With the addition of the assistant coach license, gamers can even hire their own coaching staffs.

That is why we have added the Owner aspect. With the ability to control a single player, coach, or owner on every NFL team, there is truly something for everyone. As the owner, you hire staff, respond to the media, set ticket and concession prices and manage your stadium.

Quick without looking back which press release is for Madden 2004 and which is for Madden 25

You saw it? Where did you find an "EA Exec's email", the internets?

He didn't email it to me. It was in some article.

I'm pretty sure hiring a coaching staff is going to be saved as a new feature for Madden 26 -- I mean Madden 15 --

God damn these guys are con men. Absolutely hilarious how often they remove features only to put them back in as something new. Hopefully NCAA Football 14 finally captures the pageantry of college gameday with this installment, been waiting for that for a long time.

computer/electronic age or before it, it doesn't matter. This is a toy, people, a freaking toy. Toy companies don't keep changing their selling points. Its not a big-ticket item.

its sold to the perpetual youth that keeps spawning out of the woodwork you dorks.

has monopoly or "life" or stratego kept upping their advertising and changing the game? ( yes I know they aren't computer games but that doesn't matter) Madden is still a toy. Toys aren't made to keep growing and morphing at a speedy rate.

don't bother me about a lot of adults buying the game. The major market is still under drinking age for games/toys. Its a toy !!

the internet, when you bother paying attention to all its pointless web strings has made it impossible to just play a fucking game.

its made people like that ryanmoody character think they are somehow providing some service to some pointless group of people.

5 years or so and some/most people on OS still don't get it.
They think they are some football roundtable community helpers fighting for simgamehood LOL. When they are nothing more then a game testing tax right off for a corporation ( there may some who get it and enjoy themselves and just want a free game and that's fine too LOL )

I am just so fascinated by subcultures and that theres this group of pseudo intellectuals about a freaking toy.

I'm PRO EA , I like the game because it is just a game. But sites like OS ban when you don't sound like a lemming who critiques the game in the favorable way that they want when in fact I would be hired by EA in a second because I get what the ultimate purpose is.

the game sold 3 million copies last year ( or close enough to that ) .
nothing happening at OS will ever change over all sells of this game.
companies use fan sites for nothing more than to skim through and get a feel for a couple likes and dislikes and to stumble on to a couple ideas and give them different names so they don't get sued by a stupid gamer who says that was his idea.

and to find a couple guys who don't mind working for nothing(tax write off) to make sure the game doesn't do a happy dance after an interception.

...its a toy

its a toy all the same. Its a free time entertainment device. Not a social political necessity that the internet makes it look like LOL because of obsessive freaks who need a hobby

...oh..you're 21,no wonder you don't understand it.

22 actually. And everything you said is pretty much false. There are now a ton of versions of Monopoly and Risk and all the other major board games out there because people get bored of the same thing all the time. They like new things and new features. Your argument is invalid
