What do you want to see in Madden Connected Franchise Mode in the future?

Vision cone? Never, ever. The flashlight must never re-appear in a Madden game. And, if it does, it must be absolutely optional. No online games with the flashlight.

Frankly, I wish it never would have been invented. Arguably the darkest moment in Madden history that ranks with the ps1 debacle and first 360 Madden.

I'll never get why people thought it was a sim mechanic. You needed mad manual skills if you had a crappy QB. That is not sim IMO.

Its a mechanic that correctly simulates a crucial part of the QB position... that is the main point of "sim".

Even so you still had to look at your target and couldn't just make a dime throw to anyone on the field at any time.

We can still take a crappy qb and be beast mode because we have god view of the field. At least the cone curtailed that somewhat.

Either way its a gameplay mechanic that doesn't fit into the cfm discussion (I'm off topic).

I get what you're saying in some respects, but IMO the cone will always, always suck. I kind of like the commie nature of NCAA Football where you can play even teams.

That's what happens in real life. You make most of your money through ticket sales. During away games you are going to lose revenue. The key is winning. Winning allows you to up ticket prices which increases revenue. If you aren't winning, in addition you mis-managing your money, you will be in the red often


Back on topic, more of a gameplay issue, but fix the kick coverage to the left side of the field

Not disagreeing with the real life part.
But Snyder got mad money....as well as other owners. So, They got cash regardless of sales.
This is one of the reasons why I don't like owner mode vs. coach mode.
Didnt need to worry about financial dealings last year or coach mode this year.

And
Yes.....fix returns on kick offs.

Randomized draft classes. Cheat sheets (all variants) make the offseason a sprint for ebooks.

I know this easier said than done.

2) Position specific practices. I can't imagine any less than 95% of the community ever doing a practice mode that isn't down by 2 or up by 3.

They should probably nerf the XP you get from practice too IMO.. My 3rd string QB always bumps up 7 or 8 OVR from practice XP alone.

1. Ability to place owners on auto pilot for 1 week only, through a website/mobile app if possible as well as PSN.
2. When on auto pilot and the week is advanced, giving the owner the ability to practice the following week after coming off AP would be nice.
3. Allowing for run/pass % under strategy to give your team a pass/run heavy or balanced vibe within your system on simulated games.
4. Allow msgs to be sent and replied to from the game invite screen. So I can log in, see who I'm playing, and send at the touch of a button, rather then having to type in their name or search for them online.
5. Give a league wide communications tab. Somewhere I can send a mass msg or a direct msg to help schedule games from PSN or to communicate better through PSN.
6. Bring back team captains, and give them some influence on the team and some influence on their production in games...maybe it could be something you purchase through XP.
6. Make a comprehensive and clearly defined list of attributes. WTF do I need pass accuracy for if I'm already paying for SAC/MAC/DAC? Seems redundant to me.
7. No more roster depth chart injury glitches.
8. Combine the Manage rosters/improve rosters/injury report screens, no need to have to scroll around and select these screens when the functions are so closely tied to roster management.
9. Allow for Commissioner controlled player suspensions for cheesy gameplay issues, make this a PSN function as well as an website function.
10. Don't allow injured players to gain XP through practices please. I like it personally, but it just doesn't seem right.

Cool shit I just thought of
1. Have real college coaches move up and become available for hire.
2. Have real assistant coordinators.
3. Allow ALL teams to bid and/or hire/fire coaches in the off-season. Currently I think playoff teams can't do this.
4. Allow us to bring back players early for certain injuries, possibly by spending some of their earned XP or coaching XP to rush them back early. It might be kinda cool if we also made players angry with us if we do this too often or if we force them back to play with really bad injuries.

Gameplay
1. More broken tackle animations with stiff-arms (beast mode type junk).
2. More sloppy animation like pile ups, moving the pile, especially on the goaline. Have strong RBs be able to move the pile.
3. If a player is injured PLEASE REMOVE THEM FROM THE IN GAME SUBSTITUIONS LIST. IDK how many times I've quickly tried to sub a WR and out of haste selected the top WR who was injured...and it ate up 3 seconds of clock to tell me "THIS PLAYER IS TOO INJURED TO PLAY" Well then remove them from this list, or place them at the bottom of the substitutions list. Just annoying that they are there.

Although the CPU AI would still determine the outcome, bring back the ability to challenge turnovers. That is still "in the real game." You would at least have a chance. If not, at least fix the ground causing a fumble.

I feel you and I agree but the game puts you on even ground. It isn't going to compensate because your owner is rich IRL. You just have to win more and manage your money better. Get people in those seats! :sex:


I would like random draft classes too, even if that means getting rid of the stories tied to them

 

[Anthony50]

I like a lot of the ideas being thrown around here.

Here's a feature on my wish list:
Having the ability to save a league game in progress and restart the game from that save point if necessary. Or even having an auto-save at the end of each quarter or following a score would be nice.
Building a nice lead and having to start a league game over from scratch because someone pulls a plug :no:

If you're going to get an auto-save each quarter I assume it's got to be nearly the same code process to put an auto save every 1 minute or 30 seconds for that matter.

When I heard of that in NBA 2K I thought it was awesome. If they are going to actually use that rule this year then hell yes!

:no:

Penalties for yelling a "bad" word at your tv is a terrible idea.

CONNECTED FRANCISE​

- I would like to see practice squads implemented for teams

- A combine/scouting system complete with drills, similiar to what was in Madden 07

- Would like to see the ability to practice with our CFM teams custom playbook

- True randomized draft classes

- Would also be nice if you could export your CFM team and practice against other users in random scrimmages outside of CFM

- Scale the XP goals to quarter lengths.....most leagues run 8-9 min quarters, there's no way a linebacker is going to reach his 4th tier goal of 100 tackles at shorter quarter lengths

- Scale down the practice XP as too much is given out......if anything make it so the harder scenarios yield the most XP, the easiest scenarios yield the least.....this would force everyone to attempt the harder scenarios if they really wanted the large XP payout......right now everyone does the leading by 3 scenario for the cake 2000 XP

GAMEPLAY​

- Formation subs just like NCAA has, we should be able to put the players we want on special teams, and it not strictly based on the depth chart

- Pre-game defensive assignments......Madden used to have this, I would like to be able to put my top corner on Megatron so he follows him all over the field

- Fix the gameplay so blocked punts and on rare occassions blocked extra points happen.....last time I blocked a punt in Madden was on sega genesis

- More penalties being called across the board, especially defensive pass interference

- Get rid of precision modifier......moves were fine before, they didn't need a modifier to make them super charged

- Make the pass rush from the defensive line more realistic.....hard to get sacks with even the elite DEs in the game

yes this sucks, in year 9 of my cfm Jim Harbaugh was my coach and after we won our 2nd superbowl he retired after the game, and since all the other teams had hired their coaches I was stuck with some low level no one.

this is where having the ability to hire coordinators would come into play, it wouldn't matter if I couldn't hire one of the big name head coaches, I could find that up and coming coordinator and hire him.

Great list!

Throwing accuracy is for simulated games/CPU controlled quarterback only. (Don't know why but that is the rating is for)

[Raidersabc123]

- Why does every rookie this year have a a captains patch even the undrafted rookies thats just stupid
- Why is there DB of the year and dlineman of the year award but no LB of the year award?
- When I set a record with a new player and break it again the announcers always talk about the original player who set it
- BRING BACK THE ABILITY TO EDIT PLAYER RATINGS!
- Let us be able to edit the draft classes before they are drafted
- Madden should let you look at the stats of the players that make the hall of fame
- Be able to have regular practice mode with your team

 

[MrBill]

I would like to also see something done to prevent 1 year contracts from being offered to a player for an amount to be determined after some investigation (league minimum?). Paying a ridiculous amount of money to a player for a 1 year term gives the person the first attempts to resign them to a longer term deal for a normal salary commiserate to their rating, which is bogus for a star player in free agency. It also screws up the salary caps for the rest of the league if you go to try and franchise a player at that position during that season.

 

[number_55]

Not sure if this has been posted already. However, I would like to see a polished spectator mode so that we can watch games with out the play art or play calling screen. The ability to switch camera angles while spectating would also be great.
