"Can't wait to ruin some poor franchise by trading for Tim Tebow and signing Mark Sanchez to a $40 million contract extension."

I read this somewhere and just died... lawl

I think the names are tied to the locations. If you look at the Dodgers photo there it's also for Brooklyn, so I'm guessing each city will have at least a couple different options. The reason for the pre-determined names and cities is to allow for the commentary to account for them instead of referring to the teams as home/away team.

Everything sounds cool and all but I'm admittedly underwhelmed, hopefully the next gen news tomorrow will peak my interest more.

It's a smart move. It hinders creativity but it will be programmed to make your new team feel more natural.

There are 3 names to choose from that depend on which location you choose.

Quote:

You can relocate to one of 17 currently realistic markets such as L.A., Mexico City, Brooklyn, Toronto, and London (complete with city-specific commentary). Each will foot the relocation bill to varying amounts. You can keep the team name or select from one of three that the fans have already picked.

Too many questions left unanswered.

Can we edit/customize players? If so, how much?

Are import draft classes done better than they were before? if its the same garbage as before, its useless to me.

Is offseason logic better? It damn well better be, because franchise wont be great until then.

In owner mode...do coaches matter? Meaning, does it affect your teams play at all...or are coaches just a name with no real impact?

These questions will need to be answered...and the right answers....before I consider buying the game.

Yeah, definitely. I remember moving the Chiefs in Madden 06 and I HATED how they were always referred to as the 'home/away' team. I'm really interested to see how this plays out and if CPU teams will relocate. I would absolutely love that.

I didnt play Madden 13 much but I thought they added that feature back. Am I wrong?
