News feed and stats presentation updates?

[Btj98]

I really think this years news feed is an improvement from the previous two iterations of madden but i would really like to see if its possible if the news feed could get some updates in future patches.
Things like a banner showing power rankings a few times during the season and maybe draft grades after the draft would be great improvements that i think could easily get added since it is just some text not meaning much (see pictures below). The biggest thing however is having the news feed be bigger because as of right now we can only see 15 tweets at a time in the regular season and 24 tweets in the offseason. That needs to be at least double that in my opinion so that you could at least read a tweet about each team.

When it comes to the stats updates i would really like to see the small updates like the awards tab saying all pro for each position instead of “Best QB” or “Best DB”. Also when looking at the pro bowlers that would be a good addition would be to allow us to click the player card of a player in that menu screen. I also would also love to see the pancake stat added back for offensive linemen and the biggest and obvious one is for pressures and pressures allowed being added for edge rushers and the O-Line. The award system could also be highlighted in the news feed by at least showcasing who wins the MVP award with a big banner instead of a little small tweet that we currently get.

I would love to read opinions on this and does anyone think its possible that they could update these things this year?

Draft grades is something we could add to the scouting tools, but without being a website connecting to the server api the drafting teams would have entered manually. I like the the idea though.

Thank you! I really feel like this years game could really be enhanced with really small features like this. The main thing i wonder is how hard would it be to implement inside the actual game.

They have banners in Superstar mode that should be in Franchise mode. like the NFL Draft and Combine banners. They use assets from Franchise in Superstar. I dont see why they dont do the same thing for Franchise.

The easiest way of doing it is ranking the Ovr of the rookie afterwards vs the draft pick value and automating a grade. It's not hard.

The more complicated way is making it more sim where you compare the rookie projected pick vs the actual draft pick to work out the spread for "draft grade" (already partially done in Scouting tool). The ovr could factor in but if you're pulling a surprise 75ovr in the 5th round but they were projected in the 5th they're a gem rather than "good value".

Yeah I saw that thread you created and wanted to expand on it a little bit more. I 100% agree with you that the assets in superstar mode should be in franchise as well. I wanted to create this thread to try to get some traction in the community for not only those banners being added but also some new different ones to help make the game more feel more immersive in this current cycle. As I stated before I'm not sure how difficult it would be to patch these types of things into franchise mode considering how much they are struggling with other things to fix but its worth a try.

This is actually really cool and I never thought of it that way. Thank you for the insight sir. I will start to use this method for the foreseeable future.

Besides the Draft Grades which was in previous madden from Madden 04-12.

I wish they bring back

College Stats and real NFL player comparisons /Injury History for prospects which was in (Madden 08-09 PS3/XBox360)

Crowd Reactions when you make a good or bad pick which was in (Madden 04-12 PS2/Xbox)

Adam Schaffer Draft Commentary and NFL Draft Pick by Pick Transaction Screen on Prospects which was in (Madden 13-18 PS4/XBox One)

This would make the NFL Draft way better.
