Madden 25 League Info

Nevada_Ballin — Mon, 20 May 2013 20:01:28 GMT

I'm being told that ALL of this IS part of Online Franchise as well. Bye bye Madden generated draft classes, hello NCAA Import... finally!

EA SPORTS announced the first details on the most recent Madden NFL 25 Playbooks, �Connected Franchise.� The next evolution of the most unique career game mode in all of sports gaming introduces new features and legends to the game, as well as the exciting, all-new Owner mode, adding to the �be a player� and �be a coach� experiences introduced last year. In support of the announcement, EA SPORTS today released a new video and blog detailing Owner mode, as well as a Connected Franchise Overview.

TAKE COMPLETE CONTROL OF YOUR TEAM

Madden NFL 25 will allow fans to enjoy total control of their favorite NFL team thanks to the new addition of Owner mode. Take on the persona of Jerry Jones, Jim Irsay or one of the other 30 current owners, or put yourself in the corner office. Fans will have full control over all day-to-day team operations, and can do everything from setting prices on tickets, concessions and more to marketing the team and managing stadium upgrades. Owners can even build a new stadium or relocate the team to either domestic or international locations.

A COMPLETELY REFINED EXPERIENCE

Connected Franchise brings an entirely new user interface which is focused on accessibility, including the new Trade Center and streamlined character creation. Also, a completely retuned progression and legacy score system, along with refined draft, trade and signing logic make for the most enjoyable experience to date.

FAN-FAVORITE FEATURES

This year in Connected Franchise marks the inclusion of fan-requested features like 32-team control, offline fantasy draft and a league transaction log. Also, college football fans will be happy to know that they can once again import draft classes from NCAA Football 14.

NEW LEGENDS AND MEDIA PERSONALITIES

Connected Franchise comes to life in year two with the addition of several new legendary players and media personalities. Take control of fleet-footed quarterback Randall Cunningham or punishing running back/defender William �the Refrigerator� Perry. Furthermore, bring back the revered and feared linebacker Mike Ditka, or lead a team as Coach Ditka if you prefer. Recreate the legendary careers of these all-time greats, or start fresh on a new team and write your own history. Whether you play as a player, coach or owner; created character, modern superstar or legend expect to hear from the media, as new personalities such as Peter Schrager, Darren Rovell, Matthew Berry and more chime in on the virtual social media feed.
