Even though you’re probably taking a Maddenoliday to enjoy Madden NFL 25 properly on launch day, the sad truth is that there will come a time when you have to leave your console and go back to work or school. But all is not lost, especially if you’re going to be playing Connected Franchise. The improved Connected Franchise webpage is here to help you stay on top of all your league happenings even when you’re unable to fire up your Xbox 360 or PS3.

You can also keep up to speed on your league by signing up to receive SMS messages on your phone, which will notify you of trade offers, advanced weeks, or if you haven’t played your game and everyone else is ready to advance. There’s no need to turn on your computer or fire up your console, your phone will let you know all the breaking news as it happens. If you prefer to receive fewer messages you can select exactly which notifications are sent to your phone.

On top of all that, Connected Franchise is optimized for mobile devices. If you receive a trade offer, you can quickly hop online, view the deal and choose to accept or reject it, all from your phone.

Managing your team on the web is both simple and detailed. The menus are set up just like on consoles, so it’s easy to navigate and quickly find what you’re looking for. You can view team stats from the web, sign players, make trade offers and more. Once you’re ready to roll, set yourself as “ready to advance” and go on about your day.

Enjoy your Maddenoliday but when it’s over, know you can always stay connected from your home, office, or even when you’re out and about.

May Madden NFL be with you, always.
