Soden Bowl

New Madden Game Mode

Madden 22 is fast upon us, so far the additions to online franchise seem to be rather nice to put it simple. Let’s take a minute and look into the creative mind of Soden Bowl and imagine a Madden future from a competitive point of view.

Game Mode Name: Madden Pro League

Players: 2-22 Players

Concept: 1 person creates a online league, that league is then populated with 32 team owners. These owners control all team admin functions such as roster and a coach assignment. Owners 1st step is to hire their players.

Players: 11 players per team at a min are users. These players play 1 position on both offense and defense and the quarterback also plays the role of kicker/punter. Teams can sign more than 11 players but may only field 11 players per game. The remaining players will be filled with random CPU players that can only be used if a player drops during the game and until/if they rejoin that game or if a team does not use all 11 players in a game they can assign a position CPU controlled.

Free Agents: A player joins your league either through a invite, password or if the league is set to open and they search it through the games search function. They create their player and assign him or her a position. The players height and weight are randomly generated based off the type of player per position they decide. Once the player has been created they enter the leagues Free Agents list. No attributes are used, just the players career stats are displayed. A player is offered a spot on a team by a team owner and the player can accept/decline that offer. Once accepted the player joins the team.

Contracts: No player is on a contract, they can request their release at any moment but must wait until the next week to sign with a new team and a limit can be set by the commissioner as to how many times a player can enter free agency per season. Players can also be traded by two owners.

Game Play: Team owners will start the game, once in the controller select screen a invite is issued to all players on the teams roster. The owner can then assign who is playing and who is sitting this game out in that screen. Teams when ready by the owner enter the game.

Play Selection: Plays are selected by each teams Coach, the Coach is a position assigned by the owner. That coach selects all plays for the teams offense, defense and special teams including time outs and challenges. All players can see the play selection on the same team.

Pre Snap: The QB runs the offense pre snap, the center and the QB both have to be on the same page and in the huddle the QB would select what the snap would be on. A string of random snap counts would be displayed. This let’s the center and QB work together to snap the ball correctly. The rest of the offensive line and TE’s would also use the snap count to hit either the run button to attack the line and start pushing the defense back or to prepare for the incoming pass rush with a pass button. The more efficiently they can time this with the snap the better success they will have at the snap of the football. The defense would of course have the ability to get off the ball quick or jump offsides and take a penalty.

Summary: The game would flow like a normal Madden but if a player disconnects then his position is CPU controlled and he or she can return to the game or a sub player on the roster can join mid game. This type of league would not use a draft at all but all of the attention would be on the Free Agent realm.

$$$: This is huge for a game like it Madden, it offers a steady stream of income to support the amount of work this would need to be successful.

– Everything would be broken down into MPP’s Madden Pro Points, these points could be purchased in the Madden marketplace in various bundles.

– Created leagues would have a MPP cost.
– Created teams would need to rent a Madden Server and that would also have a MPP cost.
– Created players would have MPP cost, this would insure people are not simply creating a bunch of players.
– Leagues could amp up advertising inside the Madden Hub with MPP so players can see the most active leagues easier.
– League art for the field, broadcast could be uploaded for MPP.
– Like Call of Duty, 1 Spectator could be rented (MPP) for a big game so they could broadcast it LIVE for others to watch on Twitch, Youtube or other Social Media platform.

This is how I would create a new game mode for Madden, I think it’s a very hard task but I also think it would transform Madden into the best multiplayer sports game the world has ever seen. Positions could use their own set of buttons and learning curve such as the snap counts.. The timing of a button push would be the ultimate winner in a contested play verse a said rating, ability or animation %.
