Madden NFL 25 Brings Back Importing of Draft Classes, Full 32-Team Control & More

No announcements on CFM presentation elements, a HC09 wear n tear injury system, player morale/chemistry, off/def coordinators, pregame formation subs, mass substitutions, contract holdouts, etc? I know I can't be the only one wondering about this stuff. Don't get me wrong, I am not knocking Owner Mode, it's just seeming like, at the moment, this mode is the big reveal and the other incomplete areas of Franchise mode, that have been incomplete this entire gen, still are. I just can't imagine them spending the bulk of time and resources on a tricked out Owner mode, with tons of depth and nuance, without fleshing out general Franchise mode.

The bold is what I am also wondering about and also restricted free agents.

Teams rarely relocate, though.

I wouldnt mind seeing it once or twice, but I wouldnt want it to happen much, and Id like it to be random.

Theirs suppose to be next-gen news tomorrow? Are you talking about at the Microsoft Conference? Yeah EA is going to be their, but why would they show off Madden 25 at a Console reveal, they would more likely show off a more universal game like an action/adventure game. But the main reason EA will be their is to disclose their partnership with Microsoft.

Only equipment from what I know.

I think EA is showing next gen Madden at E3.

Yeah I agree, I'm just trying to figure out where that person got that we will hear news about the next-gen Madden tomorrow.

seems like theyre on the right path..however we need way more details. im gonna remain neutral...this is EA afterall and ive learned my lesson this gen. i like the owner mode but will it be deep? will it have any REAL effect on your franchise or is it just window dressing that really has no impact? thats what im more worried about since EA always adds stuff thats good in theory, but horrible or negligble effect in execution. if i screw up my team and lose the fans support or mess up prices for tix and concessions, will it even matter?

i hope they take the kiddy gloves off and allow things to have real world impacts and cause failures if things arent done right. im tired of them catering to ppl with no attention spans and ppl who cant handle failing at something. we need risk/reward in place in all our actions in the franchise or this is gonna be another boring romp with new window dressing. guess we'll see when its in our hands.

oh yea thank god we can finally have a place to see transactions for god's sake. kinda scary when u think that the guys who are in charge of details and immersion can miss something so glaring isnt it?

Is there a full list of the 17 cities? I always liked moving my team to Oklahoma and Alabama since I feel both of them would cater to a NFL Team instantly just because of how die hard they are about their college teams.
