You mean like the former Raider and very fast WR James Jett? Lol

I really do get you point but, I'm more concerned with being able to change ratings with editable classes

I really liked the interview and I think that it's going to be a cool new touch, but I haven't played madden in 5 or 6 yrs so I was wondering if you can use connected franchise in offline because I don't play online

I would like to be able to set the goals for the players prior to the season. Tie production and subsequently, progression into the realization of the goals set in place. I'll use a rb for example. Going into the season you plan on him being the focal point of the offense. You set the expectations at 250+ carries, or 1200 yards. If he meets the selected goal, he earns 100% of the progression set with the chosen goal, 10,000 xp to use a random number. If he gets 200 carries he earns 80%. This would create scenarios where guys are meeting / not meeting expectations.


Production could tie in where meeting the goal he would finish the season with a production rating of 100. At the beginning of season 2 he would start the season with the rating at 50. Split the production earned per season in half after each season. So year two is another successful campaign, 100% production, 50% gained in season, so now his off season production rating is at 75. He is becoming a reliably productive player. A couple more seasons like that and he finishes out his rookie contract progressing nicely and with an overall production rating in the 90's. He is now a highly rated, consistently productive free agent.


This would be a way of establishing core players. You would need to gamble on high expectations for better progression and set reasonable expectations for others players.

Or Ha Ha Clinton-Dix...

To piggy back off this take another page from FIFA and add "player roles" into this. Are you signing a player to be your franchise or a stop gap? I believe FIFA goes from Crucial 1st team to important 1st team to rotational player to even future starter. Would love to give players this type of label in Madden and have the goals go along with that.

Sign someone and promise them a certain role they should have certain goals to meet. A guy can have 5 sacks and have a great season depending on his role and snaps played.

i've been thinking the exact same thing for a while.

even nba 2k has it and it actually plays a crucial part in free agency/re-signing periods. if you sign a guy promising starter minutes and role you can sign him for less but if you go against your word his morale and overall take a hit and he will either demand a trade or refuse to re-sign.

how has this not been implemented in madden yet is beyond me!
