[Whitty Hutton]

I'm strictly single game matches anyway, so i could care less about it being gone.
This year's Madden plays much better than previous years

Isn't franchise just part of connected careers now

 

[Tommy Fits]

Someone explain this connected careers thing to me. I just want to play franchise mode or something similar to it. I'm not into doing online franchises because I suck at games. I just want something to play that is similar to the franchise mode we're accustomed to.

It is, but its a shyt version of it if you are big on managing the teams and shyt. They got rid of A LOT of shyt that have been in Franchise mode for years. Real generic version of the regular franchise. And in the one I started the scores and stats of the other games in the league that get simulated were stupid as fukk. one game was 65-61, another 58-55, etc. That was just in week 1. There were a bunch of trades by the computer in preseason and there is no place at all that you can view the actual trade. The only way you even know a trade happened is if they happen to mention it in the twitter feed. Even then, they'll just say one of the players that got traded. You cant edit a single thing about the players. Numbers, gear, position, NOTHING. Im not sure whether you can still relocate to different cities, but the way it looks Im sure they took that out too. Its gonna be all online games/leagues for me til they bring the regular shyt back.

Yeah just play connected careers offline and pick coach. Its the closest you can get to regular franchise, just with a lot less shyt you can do in it than normal.

Madden has been trash for years.

You nikkas are crazy,connected careers is piff

That shyt is NFL head coach,franchise mode,and superstar mode all combined in one

If you want to play franchise mode just choose a coach and if you want superstar mode pick a player

I simmed thru about 7 years yesterday just to see how it was and it's crack

They put in alot of little storylines and shyt like a player might retire then a year later you hear about him making a comeback

There other shyt too but I won't spoil it for y'all but you'll definitely have the face

I like how you can progress players now too.6th and 7th round picks can actually develop into great players unlike years past

I had a WR go from a 58 to a 80 in 3 years

In past maddens dude would've been like a 62 after 3 years and never seen the field but now it's up to you who you want to develop on your team and it's not about who has the highest potential rating anymore

I'm telling yall just give it a chance,it's the best career mode I've ever seen in a game IMO

 

[ItzDaKiing]

Doesn't really bother me... I only play madden when I play against friends

 

[Dzali OG]

Wtf. I'm commissioner for one of these connected careers online. And I can edit everything from last year and more. You have to select coach to have fullcontrol

No, i'm talking about in other releases you were able to edit EVERYTHING, even teams you don't control. You could assign players to what team you wanted, etc.

Naw son you're missing the point.

In previous versions...you can simply edit the player how you need.

They took ALL control away from you. You can't edit anything about a player and you only control YOUR team.

I attempted play as the Jaguars and our first game is against the Vikings. Son they had McNabb as the Vikings qb. In other years, no problem, I'd just edit the Vikings roster real quick. Not in this years! I'm stuck playing a Vikings team that has McNabb as qb.

People who won't mind this game are the people who aren't really into simulation. The game doesn't have to look and play real to them. The same type folk who if you play online against play what I term "nikka ball". Never punt, even if they're on their own 5. QB drops back 20 yards when it's a 3 step drop...., be walking their DE back as safeties ....I can't play that online crap. I like real football...

Why the fukk did you buy the game then. If you really love os like you said then you would have been known this shyt was gone since every thread is about no editing. Seems like you wasted time buying something that information was out about for months
