VSN Discusses Madden 25 Connected Franchise with EA’s Josh Looman

[killgod]

Good stuff Bill. Few good things came of it but not much. Really wished the draft classes were all random from top to bottom but the NCAA import will be the fix but we gonna have to watch some of them commisioners :iseeyou:



Dont be a faggot. :bobbyv: I wont use custom PBs and will vote against them if given the chance :lesmug:

I like what your saying man. I know the new options in Madden 25 are rehashes of the past, but I welcome them back. Hopefully the game play is better and the give us roster share like NCAA Football 2013.

Same old entitlement crap every year.

When NG came, the era was online, the game focus was online....because the majority of players were online. Free world capitalism, they don't need to cater to the small % of people playing franchise, they can make the game they want and they did.

The notion that it took "a decade" to fix franchise is funny. It actually took two years to build it for M13. Previously, as mentioned, they didn't care about it and barely worked on it...because the majority was online. Online peaked, they had their TV show run a bit, people got tired of the leaderboards and cheese play...so the moved on. I don't understand how you can yell about all the years franchise wasn't even being developed, because they didn't really have reason to. Now they do.

These "new features" were on last gen Madden?

When did "Last Gen" Madden have a franchise mode that was both on and off line? With the ability to be just a player or coach or owner? Or any combination we want? Can't remember that.
Owner mode was the same as what M25 is showing eh? I don't remember having real owners with varying personalities that effect the game? I don't recall having a bankroll to manage and pay off big signing bonuses on the spot? Or having to manage money to relocate?
Speaking of relocation, what did the old gen offer? A handful of clip art logos with 4 generic templates to mix and match? No "real" relocation cause all you did was type text into a city and name field, voila, you "relocated". Did they actually have real world destinations that varied in market strength, or financial support in building a stadium? They had presentation/commentary for the cities you relocated to? Really?


Do you bitch when say...I dunno, a car company rolls out their 2014 car, do you complain and say "well fuck, 50 years ago they gave us a car you know!"

These features are greatly enhanced from what we once had.

Question, what is so hard to comprehend about the fact that they decided to rip out the franchise mode and rebuild it from scratch? Do computer retarded people think they could do that, then just like..."plug in" features at the press of a button? Everything had to be re-written to function with the new core infrastructure. This is basic understandings of how computer code works and should have never come as a surprise that features would be added on as they went. All of the features from the previous Madden you love to reference, took years of adding to it in order to get to the final product. Yet, somehow it all needed to appear in the new designed mode day one?

This isn't defending EA, this is having a basic fucking understanding of how shit works.


Anyways, you're bitching about Madden, like you guys do every year as do the same other people who have always been here. You complain "they don't have owner mode" in the past so they bring it back and you complain some more. When do you live in the present and stop being sour that Madden 08 didn't have owner mode? Who the fuck cares about Madden 08.

It's 2013 and M25 has owner mode with features that have depth we've never had, that's great isn't it? Or it's just more fun to piss and moan about 5 year old Madden games?

You're assuming any of the new tweaks on an old mode work.

Which we don't know yet.

Given EA's history of shit with Madden, I expect buggy as hell experiences.

At least SimCity is going well.

Killgods faith in the madden team this year is just amazing.

K so I finally read it. When I seen this:

The system is pretty simple…if you don’t meet any goals for the week you remain on the cold streak. If you make 2 of 3 the following week, you are on a hot streak and if you just make 1 you stay neutral.

I died a litte. THAT'S THE FUCKIN LOGIC BEHIND THE RETARDED STREAKS.....

More living in the past.

What about CC mode in M13 doesn't work? Everything they gave us with that mode, works. It's one thing to like/dislike it, but what they gave us isn't buggy. We had the cap bug, which was patched, otherwise...what's buggy and broken about the rebuilt mode?



NBA 2K has no defence, I guess that means Call of Duty Ghosts sucks.

Killgods faith in the madden team this year is just amazing.

Another usual suspect uft:

No matter what comes out, the same group of you will make the same comments and dislike it. What's amusing is, you still fucking buy it.

Oh really. Please tell me about the purchases I made of madden new from 06 to 12...

Madden 13 was my first madden purchased new since 2005 and I suspect at this point it will be the last one I make for another couple years since nothing I've seen in most interviews shows me any improvement in a lot of key areas but then again I'm the same guy who (or usual suspect) who will call out EA in particular things I don't like and actually do the talking with my wallet.

The only game that sucks me in every year is NHL and I'll admit that.
