Madden 25

Since they have it so as an owner you get to respond to media questions, etc. I wonder if they'll add that for players and coaches as well? Might be asking for too much. Also since it seems like Offensive/Defensive Coordinators will be in the game now it would be cool if you could play as a Coordinator and then become a head coach later.

Or if you're an owner you could try and pry a team's offensive/defensive coach away from them to come be your team's new head coach. Seems pretty basic but I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't an option.

I think that old Next-Gen trailer looks dated as fuck now and would be pretty lame. :dunno:

 

[Golden Taters]

All of those EA trailers were pre-rendered. Meh.

Not sure what to expect out of next-gen Madden, but I'll know at least the lightning will be way better with the new hardware.

haha all that anti Redskins name crap and there it is right in your face in a promo ! screw you activists.

and I think its funny using a guy who far as all we know could take a nose dive with the rest of his career. Who knows if he'll even be effective after the injury and what not? but I love that Redskins logo !

Confirmed from EA

The trailer was developed in a pre-rendered video format given the timing and planning required for this event. We will be showing off in-game assets at E3.

Confirmed from EA

Was obvious. Cant wait to see what it really looks like at E3

Maybe that NFL exclusive deal for EA actually does end after 2013 and we get to see what 2k can do again finally.

Off topic: :rofl: @ Live. Looks like the same ole bullshit.

E3 is going to be crazy this year.

 

[Argath]

I wonder if you leave like say Jacksonville in the first year, can another team move to Jacksonville and restart the franchise or whatever? Probably asking for too much but would be cool to see

This shit seems so simple yet people can't wrap their heads around it.

Simple?

The video starts with Connected Careers in big bold letters then the guy says "we're adding[insert recycled feature]" which implies that connected careers is gonna be back, right?

Ok so this video is showcasing "Owner Mode", however those actual words can't be found in the video. It's also showcasing "Connected Franchise", a phrase not said until the last few seconds(which is great if you like plot twist with your video game trailers). However, Connected Careers can clearly be seen at the beginning and the end of the video, and I'm supposed to know that it's the one mode of the three that won't be in the game?

:trucker:

Actually, he begins by talking about CC in Madden 13, which is why at the start he's talking about.

Regardless, you're a fucking retard if this confuses you. Are you going to boot up Madden and not know where to go? OMG IT SAYS CONNECTED FRANCHISE. I THOUGHT IT WAS CONNECTED CAREERS? OMG WHAT DO I DO. WHAT IS THIS MODE? I CANT POSSIBLE CLICK ON IT TO KNOW! THEY NEVER TOLD ME CLEARLY. MADDEN IS RUINED! AAAAHHHHHH


Who the shit cares what the fuck it's called, click on shit in the menu and you'll figure it out in a couple minutes. Heaven forbid you have to find your way through a fucking menu!

:facepalm: Useless...

Who cares what my reaction is going to be when I boot up the game, or how easy it'll be once I do so? No one is talking about that...the conversation is about the contents of a trailer and the changes to madden.


From my understanding Connect Careers was a combination of two modes, one of which was Franchise Mode. So in the process of simply upgrading the Franchise mode, they're gonna give it a whole new name and promote the previous "Franchise" name rights up to where it replaces the "Careers" in Connected Careers.
It'd be like adding rules back to the Locker Room, changing its name to The Deep End. Then changing "Off-Topic Discussion" to "The Locker Room".

If you look at my first post you'll see that I basically understood the set-up from the beginning. What I didn't(and still don't) get, is why there are three steps involved for changing something that had already changed with the first step. Seems unnecessarily complex to me. But I guess I'm the one who needs to get a clue, not EA.

EA changed "Franchise Mode" to "Connected Careers" because they wanted to do exactly what the name was, connect everyone (Online/Offline are exactly the same experience) in a career setting meaning you only get to play as a player or a coach. And that was that, but people were pretty pissed for some reason that "Franchise" wasn't part of the name anymore, hence "Connected Franchise" which makes a little more sense as a name now that there's some form of Owner Mode back in the game.

Connected Franchise wouldn't have made any sense if it would've been the name of the mode last year.

People were pissed that franchise mode FEATURES weren't in the game last year that existed in previous years. It's one of the reasons I didn't buy last year. People wouldn't give a fuck what the NAMES would be if the FEATURES actually existed.

It's a pretty bad sign when Live looks like shit even in rendered up previews.

No one has asked Looman has any retooling been done with the NCAA classes....are they still horrible like in the past or has some care been taken to ensure that they translate properly....IE: players having their correct skin tones, fast players not having 6-7 points dropped from their speed rating, etc

Those would be questions for Ben Haumiller.

Wouldn't they share that info though? I would think Looman would know something about the classes that are being imported into his precious connected franchise.....aren't tests being run to ensure that they translate properly? The Madden team knows the NCAA imported classes have been problematic for years now.....he knew enough to state that there were no story lines developed for them.....it makes me thinks they just slapped this option back on
