Madden 15 Connected Franchise Q&A

[MrBill]

How is it trolling? I asked a legit question.. It used to be in the game and now it's not. I believe it to be a legit gripe. There's no excuse for this to not be in the game IMO.

I'd like to see some figures for how much the coordinators are demanding now compared to what they were back in the PS2 days to justify your argument. I doubt it's enough to outweigh the MAJOR increase in profits EA rakes in from Madden since signing exclusivity.

Even if you can't get the real guys, why not just use the same progression system you had under the PS2 era where coaches got better and promoted? Where coaches had specific impacts based on their specialties and actually affected what happened with player development. You know... like what happens in real life. What union is holding that back from being re-implemented?

And how about Franchise and Transition tags? Are licensing costs holding those back too?

They neglect this game mode every year. It's sad, and I'm frustrated by it.

I don't think neglect is the right word to use since it does make noticeable progress each year. On the coordinators, I'm not sure that is a licensing thing so much as it is a time to get it done this release thing. The Madden team was working on a short delivery cycle due to having to release a new version of the game for the Xbox One and PS4, both of which had all features carried over along with some game play improvements.

There are a lot of people, myself included that want to have real coordinators in the game and also for them to have the ability to be bumped up to head coach class if their unit/team performs above a certain threshold of results over one or more seasons. We are pushing for it to be coded into the game for Madden 16.

You can franchise a player now so I'm not sure what you are getting at there. On transition tags, that is something to be looked at like squad players and having a PUP list.

Can we export our team?
Will all the rookies stop having captains patches?
Can we choose who the team captains are?
Will there be an award for best LB (theres an award for everthing else)
Can I change my players to any position I deem fits (turn a WR to a CB etc etc)

Well to be fair, I simply asked about franchise tag and the question went unanswered because I was "trolling" apparently. If they're in the game, great. Thank you Bill for actually answering.

Pretty sure we spent like an hour talking about getting coordinators in the game... I still have a headache about that one. That was my 3rd biggest request

-No
-That is a presentation thing but we can pass it along to that group
-Not unless they snuck that one past me
-No
-The short answer is yes but expect to take a hit on attribute ratings if you are making unusual position changes

No questions here, just stopping by to say thanks for all the info.


Appreciate it, Fellas


P.S. F OSU! :truestory:

i lied, i have a question...

In owner mode does a new owner still only get 5m or 10m to start? that handicaps guys who join late in the year and attempt to sign players.

P.P.S: Still F OSU!

Yeah...this is a big issue with leagues....we all have turnover......and when an owner leaves a team in bad shape, it can really hurt your league for the remainder of madden. Owners come in with too lil money to actually at very least make a legitimate play for his free agents back. I understand if he cannot resign them back during the resigning period, but he should. Have enough to offer them money.....ask them anyway the can make the owner start with 75 million dollars......something....

That is something I didn't look at. I will get an answer for you.

You hate chasing Ohio States coat tails... Michigan swallows.

That should depend on the type of owner they create. If they create the mogul they get a lot more money. If its a former player or fan they will be poor. (At least that's how it works from the start).

Presentation is generally the same across all game modes. The only differences in CFM are stat banners for playoff games, commentary discussing previous week games, and stadium atmosphere for special events.

Yeah I think Josh briefly mentioned banners and commentary around the 29 minute mark, but I didn't hear anything about playoff atmosphere. Was the part about playoff atmosphere during the presentation stream last week?

 

[kingbryk]

How about the Comish ability to reset games?

last year the reset salary cap didnt work either, is it fixed?

Not sure I haven't watched any of the streams. But their should be playoff banners and commentary.

Is there an option when you start a online CFM, to turn off salary caps? or just salaries all together?

 

[MajorSupreme]

Has selecting all 32-teams become easier, or do you still have to go through each team one-by-one to gather control?

No change that I'm aware of.

Unless they added something after when we were there, it is the same as last year.

So the drills for XP are gone? Or is that separate from the confidence stuff that assigning hours goes into?

It's way too easy to boost guys by just getting 2000 XP a week right now IMO. Especially QBs.
