Re: Madden NFL 15 Connected Franchise Details, Trailer and Screenshots

Never had my question answered on the broadcast. Does anyone know if the game prep/training of players will have different point gains depending on your difficulty settings?
Basically, why bother playing the training sessions on All Madden if you can do it on Rookie for the same amount of XP?

Because that's just cheating yourself.

You could ask why bother playing CFM with default rosters when you can do custom rosters and have all your players 99 overall? You can do that, but who would find that fun?

Im not understanding some ppls reasons for wanting to edit players ratings. Because i feel if your raising the ratings your cheating yourself out of a challenge,an besides maybe beating the computer in CFM this in no way makes u a better Madden player nor in my opinion make the game better because u cant change a rating. Someone please help me understand .

All Madden and Rookie difficulty levels have to do with Gameplay not CFM features.

Some people just like full control over their franchise mode. Maybe an incoming rookie is rated too high or low they want to change his ratings. Some people like to try to create accurate busts/breakout stars. For instance after the season you see Johnny Manziel (just an example Browns fans I have no hate for Johnny) only passed for 2000 yards and threw 30 int's, they could drop his rating to reflect a draft bust instead of a rising young star. I like having control but it is no way a deal breaker for me especially if confidence actually works as advertised.

The reason you're not understanding it is because you are assuming that people want to edit ratings for the sole purpose of boosting our players. When in reality we want to edit ratings to create something closer to what we see on Sundays. That includes lowering some of our own players or raising the CPU players. It's not just to cheat the system, it's to make it better.

Exactly. I remember in Madden 10 (I think) when Foster broke out with the Texans. He was rated something like 69 in the original roster I was using for my franchise...needless to say, he never broke out. Meanwhile, the Cowboys (who I was using) had several players who needed reductions (beyond ones I had already incorporated...lol...that's how off they were).

The simple truth is that, regardless of quality (meaning, it's not just some knock on Madden's AI), there is not a single AI setup for ANY game that can accurately mimic real life to the degree that some of us like to recreate. Games that allow editing in-season account for this.

This sounds pretty sweet. Thank god I went out today and bought an Xbox One because it ended up being broke as it would not play any discs. I would've been crushed if I bought Madden only to find out my new xbox was broken and couldn't start my franchise.

Have Tiburon ever talked about a subscription, update-based form of Madden development? Kind of similar to WoW where you buy the base game, then download their update every season. I mean if we are going to have a base Madden engine that will have incremental changes every season, wouldnt this give the devs the maximum amount of development time per cycle? Im sure they can drum up just as much hype every time an update arrives as they could a physical copy.

They seem to have settled on the CFM structure and the UI for this generation of consoles so I could see it working. I remember playing Counter Strike back in the day and getting just as excited for their patches to arrive, and they were free! Things you miss about games like that is how the gameplay issues were addressed steadily, seemingly as quickly as they could be fixed. And how all aspects were addressed: netcode, player models, gun models, map geometry, bugs, exploits.

It must be intrinsic to consoles that these updates are more complicated to get through that keeps bugs from being fixed. But lingering bugs like the white sleeve glitch are rediculous.

You would think with such a strong and loyal fanbase, that Madden would exist on a higher level than most games. Use the hard drive for something! Mandatory installs for added animations, or player portraits, or new celebrations, or stadium sounds. Nothing should be taken out of successive games because they needed to compromise on storage space.

Cant they literally build upon previous Maddens? Every August we would pay for the roster, patches, and the right to the online functionality, but the improvements/patches/updates should be granted throughout the season. We shouldnt have to suffer something small being broken for an entire year because the correction of the problem doesnt make the company money.

Why give you some type of subscription when I can take $60 from you on a yearly basis?
