Not sure if this works but try starting a new cfm and in settings before you actually start the cfm choose pre existing injuries off.

the week after the SB, you get one last change to re-sign your various impending FA. if you fail to come to an agreement, it’ll offer you a chance to tag them. but you have to offer them a contract that the player turns down.

Anyways, I'm still a bit confused about archetype regarding position changes. For example, I'm converting the Lions from a 4-3 to a 3-4 and moved a couple of backup DT to DE and their archetype was "speed rusher" with 72 speed. I read through your franchise mode tips thread and am still a bit confused. I feel like some archetypes are a bit off and I realize you can change them yourself, but is there a way for the game to generate them based on what they "should" be? From my understanding it picks the archtype with the highest overall, but I don't understand how a DT could ever be a speed rusher. Thanks!

two point here:
- the “achetypes” change when you switch position and it seems to me that the switches are very much automatic. for example, move anyone to an OL position and he’ll be a “pass blocker”. move anyone to a DT and he’ll become a NT. move anyone to DE and he’ll become a “speed rusher”. move anyone to WR and they’ll be a a “speed receiver”. move anyone to OLB and they’ll be a “34 pass rusher”.
- you can edit this attribute like you can any other aspect of the player. go to the player’s card and use the edit function. now, i’ve found that sometimes, if you edit the “archetype”, it can flip itself when you save the players & exit. simply just go in re-edit it & this second time, it should stick.

when setting up your CFM, adjust the "pre-existing injury" setting.

IMO, confidence in the game is random beyond just losing games.

Are development traits increasing/decreasing in this years Madden? I know I could upgrade them, but I am currently in my third season with the Browns and while Cody Kessler suddenly has the quick trait, Joe Haden decreased to normal. Is it part of the aging process or how did this happen?

Haven't played a Madden game in a few years, so did I miss something on that front?

IN CFM did they fix the formation stub bug that when you set them and a week later they reset

This does not work.
