The development team working on Madden NFL 16 at EA Sports is ready to reveal the way the Connected Franchise Mode has been improved for the coming American football simulation, with features that are based on community feedback and play test sessions.

The company says that it has started the re-design with the creation screen for a new campaign, which offers a clear set of options and asks gamers to choose between a Cloud game, which can be shared with friends, and a classic local one.

A visual team depth chart and improved player chart will be used in Madden NFL 16 to make it easier for gamers to evaluate the capabilities of their team and then plan how to handle coming games.

Scouting is also re-worked to make the draft process more unpredictable and to engage for fans.

For gamers who play with friends, the new sim includes more options for the members list and a feature to set results to handle large long-term simulation projects.

Free Practice is added to Game Prep in Madden NFL 16, giving gamers more ways to see how their team is behaving before it moves into an actual season game.

Confidence is a big part of Connected Franchise Mode

EA Sports says that the confidence mechanic of Madden NFL 16 has been tweaked, with smaller changes for each player and new ways for it to impact the ratings per position.

Gamers can work with their team before the season starts to make sure that they are ready to go out and win.

Madden NFL 16 introduces a new dynamic Drive Goal system, giving gamers clear results to aim for to get a boost for their team and players.

EA Sports states, "XP and Confidence updates appear next to your player at the end of each play. A new ticker at the bottom of the screen tracks goal progress and shows updates to all the goals influenced that play."

Weekly Goals now work on a new quest focused system, with a clear progression from period to period.

Rewards can influence the way a player and a team moves through the season.

Madden NFL 16 will be offered on August 25 on the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4, with those who own older devices getting access to Legacy versions of the title.
