If they bring back franchise mode while sorting out the kinks in the engine and the player development they could be on to something.

They probably won't though.

That is asking too much.

[Cville-Raven]

I think Im going to pass and wait till Batman: Arkham Origins comes out. Maybe get it for Christmas.

[cursona pirate]

Ill stick with Madden 12. I have a good franchise thing going. I also play Madden 09 occasionally.

Yeah I mean, they can't put out the best product this year, what about next year? Or the year after that? They'll sprinkle on good ideas every year until people realize what they're playing is a bear [Profanity deleted] repeatedly on a disk year after year. Or, maybe if they had competition, but they won't, because they keep buying out the players license and every company is too scared out of their minds to put out a non-NFL football game to compete with EA. The video game industry is completely [Profanity deleted] up right now. I'm on a video game hiatus (that is not a ps2 or nintendo game) until further notice. Good day.

*Rant post over*

Um, I'm not a huge fan of Madden 13 by any means, but franchise mode is still on there lol. You can do all the things that you could under the old franchise mode. Only difference is that you can level a coach's legacy rating up and pass by all of the other coaches on your way to coaching hall of fame. It is not called franchise mode, but Career mode. Jeesh, people complain about the simplest of things all the time when all they have to do is look for it....

Can you really not do a fantasy draft on it? I've never done that, so I've never looked for it on Madden 13, but I thought I heard someone say it was on there. But idk lol

Nope, I'm almost positive they scrapped it. I remember a ton of people were pissed when it came out because it didn't have it.

[BloodRaven]

Going through franchise mode was slow as hell, then CC made it 3 times slower.

Ewwwwww

[/quote]You can only do a fantasy draft online. Offline there is no fantasy draft.

They added it into the online version of CC after millions of complaints but its terrible and nowhere near as good as Madden 12's

[Sizzlebshu]

Also can anyone explain why when I throw the deep ball in Madden if I have a guy steaking down the middle of the field with no one near him for 10 ft in any direction, the QB no matter who its is decides to throw the ball in the direction of the safety forcing my guy to break his route to go and try and get it and compete with the safety instead of just throwing it straight to him.

It may have something to do with how terrible the game is

I'm more worried about the glitching through my players for interceptions. That engine is so busted it's ridiculous.

Although for the new game, since it's the 25th anniversary, they should bring back Madden himself to do the commentary. But that's a secondary thing, fix the engine first.

We all knew the new engine was going to have some bugs due to it being new, but I feel the one I pointed out is a serious issue that should have been clearly noticeable in testing and definitely needs to be correct for the next one.

Exactly, how can you cut franchise mode? That's the only thing I played.
[/quote]
They didn't. They just changed the name to connected careers and gave you less freedom.

[Guest nflfan123]

I hope they make it so you can draft real prospects again

EA has released info regarding the different playbooks and when they will be releasing info. The key this year is that it is no longer called Connected Careers Mode, but Connected Franchise.

Looks good.

[Mt. Crushmore]

Looks good.

 

 

Which means it will be a utter failure.

[JO_75]

What I also find interesting is that the "Run Free" feature is the first thing that will be talked about and the cover vote is between two running backs, Barry Sanders & Adrian Peterson.

[JO_75]

Madden School.com has detailed what info could be released in regards to Madden 25.

 

Run Free, April 24th: Unlock the power, precision and creativity of an NFL ball carrier.

 

Connected Franchise Part 1: Cement your legacy as one of the all-time great NFL players or coaches in the new and improved Connected Franchise.

 

Connected Franchise Part 2: Take ultimate control of your franchise

 

Madden Share: The best content from around the Madden NFL universe, right at your fingertips.

 

Madden Ultimate Team: Enjoy new ways to play and build your team in this year’s edition of Ultimate Team.

 

 

Franchise Part 2 talks about ultimate control, possibility Owner mode makes its way back into Madden?

[berad]

Just to clarify: is it Madden 14 or Madden 25? Does the title need to be changed?

It is called Madden 25 due to it being the 25th anniversary of Madden.

Alright, so "Madden 14" doesn't technically exist? Weirdo EA. I think I asked this before but does that mean that the whole naming structure of the games will be overhauled? What will they do when 2025 rolls around?

Hopefully EA isn't making the NFL games at that point lol.

lolol +1 I can't stand in-game commercials, that's when you know the developers are only concerned about money rather than making a decent experience

I'm hoping 2K gets to make a NFL game or even Sony since they do such a great job with MLB The Show. 

 

Some Madden 25 Pre-order Bonuses have been revealed. 

 

Gamestop: Receive a San Francisco 49ers Connected Franchise Pack which includes Head Coach Bill Walsh, QB Joe Montana and Former Owner Eddie Debarto Jr. 

 

Target: Get a Chicago Bears Connected Franchise Pack.

 

Wal-Mart: Oakland Raiders Connected Franchise Pack

 

So I imagine Al Davis would be with the Raiders, and this could further fuel speculation that Owner Mode is making it's long awaited return to Madden.
