In years past we would get like a video each week and talking about all the little things. few things I'm wondering. 1) Any upgrade to the presentation element to dynasty. Ex. I remember hearing about commentary focus on different player each week and the key player of the team will change depending on their performance. Are there going to be replays with in game studio, or any changes to in game studio. 2) How does season progression work with players now. Will coach skills effect the progression of the players during season or end of season. 3)Has the logic changed in who makes it into the draft class to madden 25. Also with the different equipment and ratings in NCAA will draft class players come out all jacked up with weird shoulder pads, lopsided legs and boobs this year or have they worked on debugging those things. Thank you for answering.

I love how my questions got skipped.

EA only answering the easy question. Just be honest, if it hasn't been touch then let us know that it hasn't been touch. At least your straight up and not keep me guessing. Let me make an inform decision on a purchase or not.

EA could make the game perfect and there would be people unhappy. They've done a TON of stuff and added a lot of new features. The game looks awesome this year.

Will users be fired from jobs for silly things like that? I found it ridiculous that any real-life head football coach would be fired from a job because they didn't rush for X number of yards in a season even though they won championships. I'll sit back and wait for a response. Thanks!

Maybe this will help.

Teams all have expectations based on the past. The team has also implemented season records for past seasons (not precisely sure how far back that goes, but I believe it's 30 years.) Long story, short -- Contract length and goals are smarter this season and based on historical data. Hope that helps.

That's helpful. But also another primary concern is how EA plans to implement the developmental trait into NCAA for the transition over to Madden 25. Seeing how Madden has "Star", "Fast", "Normal", and "Slow", will NCAA have these when exporting a draft class?

Honestly I highly doubt it and I assume there will be serious problems when transferring draft classes. I'll probably just use the default classes Madden already gives me because the realistic faces and attributes are more fun.

Same here, Ea is not been doing themselves any favors with me for the last few years either.

Oh so someone from EA Sports didn't answer a question you posted on a message board? Tell me of all your experiences of other gaming companies answering your questions on message boards..

Just be happy someone took the time to come on here and answer ANY questions

Could, being the operative word. Let's get there first and see how many unhappy people there are. I wish they would make the perfect game. Yes, this game does look awesome. I agree with you there. But there are also questions left unanswered as to whether other needed changes were made to dynasty. Lots of recruiting info so far (cool), some tweaks to CC (nice, nice), but nothing in depth about progression, custom conferences, practice that matters, spring games, heisman presentation, teambuilder, etc. Hopefully we get more good news throughout the day. My fingers are crossed.

Im hoping the import draft class is done right and not just the EA "throw it back in there" attitude. I still remember josh looman saying last year that when they do something like that they want to make sure that it was done right, thats why it wasn't in last year. If it turns out to be as messed up as it was in Madden 12, then I would very disappointed.

# 89 LambertandHam @ 05/28/13 12:08 PM

The new recruiting interface looks sleek. As for the whole Coaching XP thing, eh, looks like Borderlands 2's skill trees.

# 90 CrimsonGator96 @ 05/28/13 12:09 PM

While I like the new additions...is this it? I really hope there's more added in...Medical redshirts, spring games, High School All American games..they even had the redshirts in 08 and the spring games in 05! (I think.) Hopefully there's more to come.

Listen to the podcast, ive experienced this as well and Haumiller said that they changed the way of coaching contracts. He actually used your example. He said that coaches will be graded based on team performance, wins, history, etc.

# 92 Cubs017 @ 05/28/13 12:22 PM

I like what I see so far, I just hope that they don't take it too far.

It's great that Alabama gets more to recruit with than UMASS. However, I don't want to see a scenario where all of the big schools end up being 99's and all of the little schools go down to the 50's.

# 93 BenGerman @ 05/28/13 12:23 PM

Almost every change they've made this year, I like. So there's that... Unfortunately, I feel like they didn't make enough changes for me to be excited about the game.

I will say that the gameplay looks much better. I'm not sure how much better it will play, but wow, quite an upgrade in terms of looks from last year.

This quote is absolutely untrue in so many ways. You have to be blind not to recognize the underwelming quality of college football games on this generation of consoles. Other games don't have to be perfect to get the amount of appreciation they garner year out.

# 95 Swamp Swagger @ 05/28/13 12:38 PM

Not bad, but was expecting more. Is that for sure it as far as new Dynasty stuff goes?

Haven't had time to read through the pages yet

No. that's the runningback version w/ the two vertical bars on the side. we're asking for the simple 2-bar qb version.

Actually its not. There will always be something to complain about.

# 98 DirtyJerz32 @ 05/28/13 12:47 PM

I'm hoping we can import more than 12 team builder teams. Also, how many users can we have during online dynasty?

# 99 Robcards @ 05/28/13 12:52 PM

Boring. Unless there are some more dynasty changes, I am definitely not buying this.

# 100 JerzeyReign @ 05/28/13 12:58 PM

Looks good to me. Really would like to see how the ai recruits as well as if the numbers of superstar recruits is reduced. No fun taking all of the good guys from the ai or having every user team 90 and above in three seasons.

Hopefully things like that are discussed.
