Featured EA Sports Madden 15 Connected Franchise Mode - What It All Means

What about commentary I CFM? There has to be something CFM specific in presentation to keep it immersive right? In the past Madden's it seems like CFM is a series of play now games and not a true nfl season taking place.

 

Commentary in CFM*

 

I know they did some stuff for this with the commentary to pick up on some story lines and performance notables. I thought I remembered seeing new graphics and vignettes that show divisional standings, etc as well.

A bunch of small things that help with what you are talking about.

You may have missed this one (or not)...

 

That's cool, I still would like to see a weekly wrap up show, kinda like the Extra Point in Madden 10 but expanded upon with dynamic commentary and storylines about injuries, players of week, preview of next weeks big games, mvp and playoff races. It should be optional at the end of week whether you watch it or sim to next week.

 

It's already been talked about. The half-time show this year was the first step towards that type of encompassing tech.

 

As long as they keep expanding it that's what I wanted to hear. Thanks

 

You wanted to hear that a group of people who get paid to work on Madden is working on Madden?

Hahahahah

 

No I wanted to hear that they plan to keep working on half time and not just add it this year and scrap it next year.

 

You need to hear that? I think this Madden team's track record is better than that.

 

Thanks Bob!

The GCs should bypass beating the door down and go straight for the heavy artillery. I think many of us are dying for this feature to practice/scrim with our CFM teams.

 

If you died how could you use the feature? Budump Rim shot.

 

Have the dreaded 1 year retirements been done away with? Seemed like a majority of the "star" players who would retire in M25, came back after sitting out just 1 season. Will we still be seeing that happen often in M15?

 

Where does a progressive injury system and adding multiple simultaneous injuries that can be chosen to play through fit in the lists of priorities for CFM? We still don't have an injury system anywhere near like the NFL, which is a major issue, considering how big a factor injuries are to NFL football. I'll spare everyone the diatribe because I hope it's a given that people understand how much this impacts the game as a whole, especially career modes.

 

Any incorporation of the rookie contract system where you have the choice of picking up an option year?

How much talk from the GCs of being able to ask players to re-do their deals or offering early extensions? Also players seeking new deals?

 

It's #1 on my list.

 

It needs to tie in with being a coach and allowing you to choose to play or sit a player who is injured. They can tie it to the confidence rating of the coach too, if the player plays well, confidence goes up, if he plays poorly or worse, further aggravates an injury, the confidence rating decreases.

 

Well that's good to know that it's being advocated for, so ESPN's PTI style, what's your take on the chances/% this get's added for M16 CFM?

It's all in good fun too, I won't hold you to it, I realize you don't make the game, lol.

 

We don't start talking next cycle plans until after the game drops.

 

Fine, then you, Drift and whoever else take one for the team and "entertain" whoever you need to at Tiburon to make that happen next year, no judgement.

 

If I wanted entertainment I'd get you and Josh on a trip with me.

 

No doubt and I hope that trip is to Orlando or Texas because I've actually added "get thrown out of Tiburon" to my bucket list.
