Madden NFL 25 - Connected Franchise: Relocating Your Franchise

[Grey_Osprey]

Just read on Looman's twitter page that relocation has no affect on conference alignment. So any team you move stays in it's original division.

except that London is quite a feasible place for a franchise to be relocated to in the next 10 years..

Not Dublin, that's probably just in there following the success of the emerald isle classic coupled with the fact that half of america regards itself as "irish"

It really shouldn't. I mean look at the NFC East. Why are the Cowboys in there? New York to Dallas is a pretty big jump.

I can think of a few long-distance conference relationships:

AFC East: Miami vs 3 Northeast teams
AFC South: Indianapolis doesn't fit geographically
AFC West: Kansas City is a good distance away from the CA teams

So half of the current divisions have a team that is a good distance away from the other 3.

I don't want the Rams to ever go back to LA. One of the reasons they left was lack of fan support. Boo Bird City. Fickle fans galore.

I'll never forget this true story (saw it with my own eyes): In 1980 or 81, the Rams hosted the Cowboys. Rams were ahead by 24 points, in the 3rd or 4th quarter. A Rams receiver dropped a pass and the fans booed. I kid you not.

That kind of stuff happened all the time.

I swear, some people here are never even grateful, or realize how much work goes into these things.

They made a decision, not to restrict your decisions, but to try to make everything integrated. The new relocation is actually integrated into the system, unlike what it used to be. Hold your judgement until you actually experience it.

I'd say probably 90% of the OS Madden bashers wouldn't even work at EA if hired, because of the hours it requires.

Well, I bash Madden and EA as much as the next guy. I'm not a math and science guy though, I'm a politics, economics and history guy, hence the name.

There are legitimate points for bashing EA and what they do, like using the same basic engine for 9 years. This is just people being pissed because they didn't get the Moon. It's exaggeration. EA went fairly over-the-top with this relocation, getting Nike in on the action, getting the audio to feel organic and more.
