Questions about Madden 15? VSN Speaking with EA devs for E3 exclusive!

[MrBill]

We will be speaking with EA Producers Rex Dickson (gameplay) and Brian Murray (presentation) in a VSN exclusive podcast that will be going online moments after the EA media event for E3 in Los Angeles completes on Monday, June 9th!

Please post any questions that you have for the Madden team on the upcoming release in this thread-

* will they address this so called Injury Bug??
* is XP going to be the same formula??
* save points for disconnected games??
* have they resolved or provide answers on how to rectify "excessive greiving", "desync errors", etc....

Will they finally get their heads out of their asses and add Offensive/Defensive Coordinators in the game?

Crowd reactions should be fixed.

The crowd should roar when their team makes a big play. There should be pure pandemonium when a big TD is scored at home.

On the flip side they should go from boisterous to silent when their team gives up a big first down or TD, and boo raucously when officials announce penalties against their team.

I don't know about everyone else, but this stuff would make the game infintely more playable for someone like me who loves the atmosphere of sporting events almost as much as what's taking place on the field.

Also what j.hen said.

I have no idea why they were even taken out of the game in the first place.

The old coach hiring model was perfect. Different coaches provided specific positives or negatives to your roster. Coaches actually progressed in the same way the players did over time, and would eventually attempt to climb the coaching ladder themselves.

I loved being able to hire ex-players onto my staff. I don't think there is any reason they couldn't implement this model (maybe with GMs/scouts as well) instead of the lackluster one in place now.

Defensive assignments, are they in the game? I'd like to be able to have my top corner shadow the other team's best WR

Will formation subs be added for special teams?

-Can they fix the god damn wind meter when kicking? It's been backwards forever.
-Will the commish be able to grant wins to teams after a disconnect so it doesn't go to sim? (Like the Show does)

 

[GangstaE]

Will they add different Dline pass rush schemes for each defensive play? (such as stunts, contains, loops, etc)

For Online Franchise can they allow the Commissioner to choose a winner instead of simming a particular game in case of a disconnect with someone having a considerable lead?

Will they improve Progression making it more difficult? Usually by year 3 everyone has studs all throughout the depth chart or make players that don't play drop in progression because of lack of playing time.

Can they add back Holdouts?

I'm sure i can add a lot more questions but that's it for now.

 

[MrBill]

Some good stuff so far guys, keep it coming!

 

[DJ Rhude]

I don't want the progression to be as difficult as it was in M13......see if you can ask them if they were able to find that happy medium between M13's difficult progression and M25's easy progression

Oh and improved Madden classes is a must......no more of these 6'1 270 LB DTs with 88 speed

 

[MrBill]

We won't be able to get into CFM on this podcast but have one coming soon with Josh Looman and I'll carry all of those questions over.

 

[spursup]

Sideline interactions. Last year they said these would be better and then I didn't notice any differences.

Also for when you do the CFM interview, can we have XP goals match the quarter length? They seem impossible to achieve now with 10 minute quarters.

Easily one of the best parts of franchise mode in the old days when it was included. I loved keeping up with which coordinators were going where and who would get a shot at a head coaching gig. Would add a ton more immersion to the game for sure.

Are there new Defense playbooks? like Legends books .....live Jimmy Johnson, Buddy Ryan, Dungy etc....
