Madden NFL 17: Franchise Mode Adds New Play the Moments, Super-Sim Features

[Big FN Deal]

Most people know I'm the last one to try to suggest anyone not be disappointed, upset, etc over things being left out and other things getting in but the ticker is like a whole other thing entirely, imo. For starters it was already in NCAA Football so I don't think that much investment went it to creating it at least, it already existed in-house. As far as the time and resources it potentially took in actually implementing it, it seems to me some framework was already there from whenever they added it to scroll goal information, so I don't agree with this being something that potentially nudged something else more needed, out. I can't really think of anything else that would fall within those type perceived parameters, that I would want over this.

Leave the ticker out of this, it ain't bothering anyone and it's something I have wanted for awhile now. lol

I'm in the same boat as you. The ticker basically secured my purchase this year. Add in the fact they one upped NCAA and they show stats along with scores has me really excited for starting my own franchise despite the fact that I was underwhelmed at first with their changes.

Have there been any details released on exactly what league info will/can scroll across the ticker or are we pretty much just going by the few screenshots we've seen thus far? I'm envisioning it for all kinds of things, tweets, contracts, injuries, breaking news, the draft, etc but don't want to get too ahead of myself, lol.

I feel like it'll only have scores/stats but I could be wrong. Hopefully they surprise us and put in everything you mentioned.

It's just an in-game score ticker, not a full-on CFM ticker. It's only scores, goals, both, or nothing.

"While playing your game, you will see score updates occur from games around the league. For example, if you’re playing a 1pm Sunday game, you will see score updates and stat lines for all the other 1pm games. If you’re playing a Monday Primetime game, you’ll see final scores tick by for all the other league games. If you’re playing in a Cloud league with your friends, their played games will be treated like every other game. The ticker still gives you updates on goal progress when relevant, too. There is a setting to show everything, just scores, goal updates, or nothing so you can customize it as you see fit."

I dotn get why everyone is happy with player editing. I mean its a start i guess but i want to be able to edit players before the season give them names and all of that set potential or whatever so when the draft comes its fair. I've heard people say "oh so i can make a RB form LSU" yes but you picked him up in the 7th round and gave him this great potential or OVR. SO the draft is going to be screwed up. IDK maybe ill feel different after playing with it, it just seems weird to do it only post draft

I know people really really wanted this, but I still think a draft board should've had priority. However, was it really difficult to turn on editing of players? I cant fathom that took a lot of dev work.

Curious to see if and how any online leagues plan to incorporate this. I really dont see our league using it unless we allow users to change names/school, anything but attributes and salaries. Now having said that, I hope we can easily keep track of this. We dont need users tweaking their players attributes and would be nice to know if they do so. Perhaps an enable/disable option will exist. Thought, itd be nice to have it set up where you can edit a players name/school type stuff while disabling meaningful things like attributes/salaries. Or just let Commissioners only do it but let league see any changes a Commish may make
