Madden NFL 25 - Connected Franchise: Relocating Your Franchise

[TDenverFan]

I hope they throw on at least a few more options by the time the game is released.

A few markets they missed that I can think of are Virginia Beach, Vegas (I know it's not a likely real life destination but neither is a second Houston team or Mexico City), Louisville, Albuquerque, and Omaha.

When creating the team relocation feature, EA went to the NFL and procured a list of viable NFL cities. After doing that, they created a selection of team names and back stories for each city. Want to move to Brooklyn and recreate the Dodgers, go ahead! How about move another franchise to Houston and resurrect the Oilers? You can do that too. In one of the smarter design decision in my opinion, EA took each city/name combination and asked Nike to create various uniforms for each combination. That means each uniform will be professionally done, so I won’t ever have to play a team that uses “grass green” as a main color choice.

This is from tradition sports review.. I feel a little better after reading this part. With Nike designing realistic uniforms, I'm a little more OK with this.

Good question. Like, can you imagine if the Seahawks moved to OKC and still played in the NFC East? How ridiculous would that be?

I get what you mean, but if Seattle moved to OKC I'd guess they'd stay in the West. Who else could replace them?

But in real life, an owner can choose his own color scheme, name, logo and uniforms. He doesn't have to choose from a predetermined options that were "voted on by fans".

Yea I'm assuming they over looked conference realignment but its really no big deal in the grand scheme of missing things like hiring coordinators

• But in real life, only 5 teams realistically would relocate, if at all.

• But in real life, the Houston Oilers probably aren't coming back.

• But in real life, Mexico City???

I'm not trying to troll but come on. I get people play the game however they want to play, but hey, I want to relocate the Seattle Seahawks to Brooklyn! I want to move Jacksonville to London and call them the London Keyes. We should be able to choose our own logos, our own color scheme, but with this being the first year of reimplementing this system, including the last year on this current gen, I'm completely fine with everything here. My relocations will probably be the Rams back in LA, the Giants to Brooklyn (although with their new stadium I'd doubt I'd be able to) and maybe Jacksonville to Orlando and Buffalo to Toronto. Give Minnesota and San Diego, new stadiums, and I'm set, because

• In real life, these scenarios realistically could happen.

But a true owner will listen to his city. You have to earn respect of the fans and choosing between the 3-4 ideas that they brought forth is essentially the best way to do it.

For the announcers to call a game correctly and not use generic sounding phrases, you need the game to limit choices. Life is decided by the choices you make, not everything can be limitless.
