Madden 16: Connected Franchise Thoughts and Concerns

[Step2001]

JP, is everything "Connected" in CFM?

Will Pre-Season, Reg Season, Post Season, Super Bowl have their own specific Audio Presentation?

Has Pre-Game & Halftime presentation been improved visual & audio?

Will Injuries be discussed during Pre-Game, Halftime of Games?

Will injuries be evaluated after the game and diagnosis be given then, instead of during game?

Will Injuries carryover into the following season?

Did they add the PUP list for those players who are still recovering from injuries?

Have injuries been worked on, adding pulls, strains, re-aggravating injuries during Pre-Game Warm-ups, etc. etc.?

8 man Practice Squad?

46 man Game Day Roster?

Was Twitter feed expanded? Adding comments to any re-signings, signings, release/cuts, trades, retirements, etc. etc. Example: in my Madden '15 CFM Romo retired, but nothing was said, why, because he had a OVR rating of a 65? That's not right.

Will previous years stats pop-up when players shown during 1st Pre-Season game & First Reg Season Game?

Will a team be mentioned as the Defending Super Bowl Champs in Audio?

Will I get a trophy case? Will I get a new banner hanging in my stadium for Post Season accomplishments?

Will the players from the Madden Created Draft classes be discussed more, I guess more noteworthy as the new stars of the league? Those Draft Stories end after the Draft.......they need to keep going.
Audio needs to point out teams drafted players and how they're cornerstone players for that teams future.

During post season, will player's post season stats pop-up? (most notably QB post season record)

Will Coaches have Super Bowl record appear on their pop-up?

Has New Draft Presentation been added? Will we see the Commish at the podium announce the selection or trade, then announce that team selection. Then player (if attending the draft) walk out and pose with the Commish holding up a team Jersey.

Owner's mode: Selling Player's jersey's, popular players, has this been tweaked? I've drafted 5th rd. WR's with high popularity that did nothing, but their jersey's sold. Fine for a year, but with little to hardly any P.T. the sales and popularity should fall off.....

A tighter salary cap w/players asking for BIG Dollar contracts w/huge signing bonus, early in FA?


All players have different ceilings as far as how high their OVR can go, correct, Curious? I tend to ignore the OVR and go with how the player plays in my system and what I'm trying to do on Offense & Defense.

Step, Not speaking for JP, but I'm sure that will be covered later on in Presentation and he probably can't answer those yet.

Great questions though, as I'm wondering a lot of the same

It's Wednesday and that still hasn't been posted. Wasn't it supposed to have gone up Tuesday?

Yeah, but it doesn't hurt to ask. E3, will that be the info dump by EA on Madden 16, or will we have to wait as this drags on through August?

That's another good question. I have no clue what EA plans to reveal at E3. JP might know so you'll have to wait on him.

I believe most info will be released by E3, some of these questions will be answered once people start releasing E3 gameplay from the show floor. One thing to keep in mind, presentation is usually the last thing added into the game, so everything won't necessarily be in or as polished at E3.

I would love to have a practice squad

YES TO ALL, lol just kidding, when I can give the answers to these questions I definitely will, until then sorry guys, stay positive.
