Madden NFL 25 Connected Franchise Q&A with Josh Looman

[Godgers12]

I have a few questions

*Can we could change the team name and uniforms without relocating?

*Can you choose field art when you rebuild or relocate, like endzone art, where the logo is located on the field ect, as well as the type of field (ie. grass, turf, blue turf ect), blue turf or any color other than green would be sweet imo.

*Do your players have personalities, and ask for trades, holdout ect?

*I think I already know the answer to this as if it were in it probably would have been in the blog, but I have to ask, are practice squads, and 46 man gameday rosters in? They are both a huge intrical part of the NFL, no excuse for them to keep on being ignored.

*Do we have to wait a year or two after we initiate the relocate process before we can actually move, in order to give the stadium time to get built?

*Who is listed as the owner of the Packers? We do not have any one man that has absolute control, the closest is Mark Murphy. Or are the fans listed?

I am kind of off topic but to bring this full circle, Mr Bill can you ask Looman does this CFM carry over to the new gen M25 or does it have something different?

Would like to know this as well.

with the draft gems and busts it wont matter cause a 68 player will play the same as a 90 ovr player when starting.
Who want to play a game that you still cant get assist tackles,horrible replays,cant challenge when you want or choose what to challenge,horrible punt and kickoff returning,bad cpu AI,cpu that never progresses players on to find them regress at the end of the year,bad punting and ball bouncing, bad player rating IMO its not sliders thats the problem its this they have no real distinction between the players,broken animations that only work right on slow speed and find tune the sliders,No Penalties for the last what 6 years, poor player movement,Holdouts, a much better injury systme with players never playing the same if they have a real bad injury,Horrible crowds and very annoying comentary that makes it hard to get immersed into the game,Bad field and player degeneration field getting tore up, the grass in 13 looks horrible when flying around and the players dont look real dirty. Impossible player goals for the seasonand Wheres the mascots and cheerleaders on the sidelines,lol .Why no tattoos yet.
I know this is alot but its the things that matter most all this other stuff is just adding to stuff that is fine and dandy but if the core isnt there whats the point.
I mean would you buy a sports car that only ran on 2 cylinders prolly not...

I am not an expert, believe me, but I do know some things (please correct me if I am wrong):

- nope. I think you can upgrade the stadiums / build new ones, though. Myabe create a user uniform, but thats it.

- no. You choose from eight (?) predefined stadiums.

- possibly? I thought I saw some screen shots with players discussing their contract status (statii? statuses?) direct.

- nope. You most defiantly would have heard about practice squads if they existed.

- you don't have to wait that long, I think; it depends on your approval rating. If it tanks low I believe you can then move the team. I don't know what the time frame is for something like that though. it is possible that some owners come equipped with a really low rating at the onset (Oakland, San Diego? Buffalo maybe. Miami?)

- this one I have no idea. Murphy would be my guess.

10 stadiums, pre-made.

Each city has 3 teams that can be made. Each team has 3 jersey options (professional designed) apparently a Nike Pro Combat version MIGHT be a 4th option

Stadium rating needs to be under 40 to relocate. You start the process in like Week 3 and things happen throughout the season (one week you pick the city, one week you pick the nickname, etc). The under 40 rule is an option you can turn off.

my question:

can we edit the draft prospects' names prior to the draft (for example in scouting season) or can we only edit their names after they've been drafted?

[bgoffner]

Its funny to read what features people want in the game. Coming from a original Madden Franchise player... where we used to drive to eachothers house and play on 1 system.. MCC has come a looooong way with what we've been asking for. For hard core gamers we needed some tweaks to stop loop holes.. it sucked having to monitor players in a CC that didnt play with integrity
transaction log - huge (now we use Voxer app with everyone in the league and we make people take photos of every transaction)

editing players - its ok but i wish they keep the NFL numeric system in place... I hated playing against a WR/DB with #1 or something

editing names- im kinda on the fence for... just prolly make a rule in my league that u cant make stupid names

edit ratings - your asking for trouble in multi team leagues.. maybe just keep that for offline.. or why would you want to edit their ratings anyway once the season start.. isnt the point to build players

import draft class - amazing.. been yearning for this...i hope its not flawed

make XP for certain packages expensive - tooooo easy to build a 99MCV CB which in real football u cant develop a Revis. In my league now. Every team has 3 99MCV CBs atleast. Cant complete a pass. Make it harder to build the pivotal attributes by position.. especially Speed. 99SPD TEs are so easy to build

and what the HELL are the "TRAITS" for? Do i need my QB to throw a tight spiral? Does it help with anything?

can we see that size and weight matters?

or you can get pressure with 4 down lineman

ill start my 2nd post in a bit.. I need to ask the questions for now on

[ajk49er]

I really would like to see assistant coaches in this game. any word yet?
