May 21, 200422 yr Author Franchise Changes Free Agents choose team using many different factors including weather, stadium, money, location, team prestige, what stars are on the team, expected playing time, etc. Franchise Tags and Restricted Free Agents Preseason position battles, in which two players based on ratings battle for the starting spot during pre-season. Based on the stats of the pre season will determine who wins the starting spot. Regular season progressions this year, instead of waiting until the end of the season. Weekly gameplans where you will see your opponent strengths and weaknesses. Trading during the draft. 20,000 + newspaper articles from USA Today to track your franchise and others. There will be times when players get busted for drugs, and other such mishaps. The storyline goes much deeper this year. 20 Hours of Sports Talk Radio recorded with Tony Bruno in which there will be real callers, interviews with real NFL coaches and players. Player personalities have been added where players have moral ratings based on their involvement with the team. If a player isn't receiving the ball as much as he would like, you will hear about it. Ratings will go down if moral gets too low. Players want to play a certain amount of downs, based on age. You have the option to name your team captains. This will boost moral for the players, and possibly for the team if the players like the captains chosen.
May 21, 200422 yr EA is really gonna take advantadge of this chemistry stuff, huh? Sounds good though.
May 21, 200422 yr insane. i bet there's a hidden easter egg code somewhere where your favorite team's cheerleaders will show up at your house.
May 21, 200422 yr I can't wait for it. uhoh watch out Ray Lewis. What's the injury going to be this time?
May 21, 200422 yr All I can say is one thing: BENGALLLLLLLLLLLLLS! I can't wait! I just hope Marvin Lewis looks like Marvin Lewis, not just some guy. Next year's Madden needs authentic crowd seating so I can be in the game! Seriously, all the additions, PLUS all the stuff from last year, this game is going to be tight.
May 21, 200422 yr I also see no way in which those "drug stories" stay in the USA Today articles. The NFL won't let it because it tarnishes their image (even if it DOES happen in real life, it's still just a video game). They could find a clever way around it, but I don't know what.
May 22, 200422 yr They should go back to just having Madden on the cover. Agreed. If he gets hurt it wouldnt really matter....
May 22, 200422 yr They should go back to just having Madden on the cover. Agreed. If he gets hurt it wouldnt really matter.... as long as he can do the MNF broadcasts. I really like the Michaels-Madden team.
May 22, 200422 yr I actually looked at some stuff on the 'net about the ESPN football game next year and the movies are absolutley jaw dropping.
May 22, 200422 yr If I was Ray.. I'd be worried.. :lol Can't wait to get this game, though. I love Madden.
May 23, 200422 yr EA likes to put injured, overhyped players on covers (Vince Carter, NBA Live 2K4 Vick, Madden 2k4 and now Ray Lewis)
May 23, 200422 yr EA likes to put injured, overhyped players on covers (Vince Carter, NBA Live 2K4 Vick, Madden 2k4 and now Ray Lewis) how is ray lewis overhyped? are you nuts?
May 23, 200422 yr Ray Lewis Overhyped? He was Super Bowl MVP.... He was Defensive POY in 2001.... 4 Time Pro Bowler.... Why is this guy overhyped again?
May 23, 200422 yr Ok maybe it's more like I don't like him, but still.. Yea i'll stay quiet now At least your honest.... :thumbup
May 23, 200422 yr I cant wait for this game, every year they find a way to make it better. I am playing MVP right now and am going to get NCAA in a couple months so that we will make the waiting a little better.
May 23, 200422 yr ray is the best LB right now and one of the best ever. dude is a f***ing animal who is a product of.... The U
