Madden NFL 16 Connected Franchise Details Revealed

They have redone the user interface for managing players and depth charts. Bless their hearts. This is a big win for me.

Also looks like they've doubled down on XP and Confidence, which I didn't think was going away anytime soon and this just confirms that.

No mention of any new roster mechanics such as the practice squad is the thing I'm most disappointed about.

A lot to like here, looking forward to seeing more. Already can see how the game will be played differently with the dynamic goals and whatnot. Exciting.

Looking at the depth chart picture, it doesnt seem as if you can have formation depth charts. It just lists offense, defense and specialist. it actually looks like they just reorganized what the screen looks like

I am also not a huge fan of the goal banners at the pop up at the top and run on the bottom of the screen. Hopefully it doesnt take away from the limited stat banners we have now.

Hopefully they are waiting to talk about presentation upgrades in CFM.

I would love to see it but I doubt it. More likely will just be the KR/PR/K/P.

One thing that scares me with this change is where is the 3RB slot. Its not on the offense page of the chart. Because for some reason they wont add formation subs, I used the 3rb slot (along with fatigue) to get backup RBs more carries.

No formation subs. The depth chart stuff just looks like a visual overhaul and nothing that will matter gameplay wise.

Disappointing at first glance.

Sure hope I can turn off goal banners and the goal ticker on the bottom.
Did the community really request these banners ???

I wonder if this is under specialist? Hopefully it is because I use this function a lot..

Guys, before you get on the hype train. Let's see what they did with the gameplay, sliders, and penalties first. None of those features matter if we still have far too many legacy issues.

I have one question/concern in the article they talk about being able to start playing faster, but I still dont know if they mean just getting on the field faster, or can I select multiple teams faster without it taking 30 mins to create 30 different profiles.
