Operation Sports - Press Row Podcast: Episode 24 (Part 3) - Connected Franchise

[Steve_OS]

In Part 3 of Episode 24 of the Press Row Podcast, host Richard Grisham (@richgrisham) goes one-on-one with the “Godfather of Franchise Modes,” EA Sports’ Josh Looman (@Josh_Looman) to talk everything about Connected Franchise for Madden NFL 25. They discuss how what goes into putting such a mode into an established game in the first place, what went well and not so well last season, the decisions he and his team made for the upcoming year, and everything he can possibly discuss about this year’s improvements to Connected Franchise.

@ 45 minutes - they put the non-storyline players with dynamic ratings. YES!

I listened to all 53 minutes and it was a decent listen. Some great info that sounds promising.

This is more informative and for me a more effective advertisement of Connected Franchise than any of the EA-published blogs. I'm actually looking forward to trying out Owner mode now.

He talked about story lines during the draft, does this mean the story lines will reflect on what the player did on ncaa 14?
