Scheduling For Future Seasons?

If they had the right scheduling, I would be facing the AFC West, not the East. Like I said, it isn't really a gamebreaker, but since the older Madden's had the correct rotations, it is bothersome.

Spf is right. I get college football where there are a ton of teams and they just schedule whoever they want and they let you change conferences, but in the NFL they have a really simple scheduling formula they follow. There's no reason to get that wrong.

Another simple thing that EA can't get right! The NFL has the easiest formula for generating schedules over multiple seasons. A freshman computer programming student should be able to write a code for this in under an hour.

It's EA. Do they EVER pay attention to important details in Franchise mode?

At least better than MLB 2k12.

2013 schedule is the same of 2010, 2014 of 2011, 2015 of 2012 and it keeps going...

If I am not mistaken, the next time the NFC East should face the AFC East is in 2015. My question is this, are the schedules for CCM just randomized after every season? I know that they kept the right rotations for how the scheduling worked in previous Maddens. BTW, I am not complaining, it really isn't an issue for me, I was just wondering if they maybe decided to randomize the scheduling since CCM is kind of like making your own version of the NFL.

The same thing happened to me, except as the Patriots! They should be playing the NFC South in 2013, not the NFC East, who they had just played in 2011.

To be honest, I like a lot of what CCM has done but this could prevent me from using the feature. How am I supposed to have a realistic experience if they can't even get the schedule rotation right?

I've never had the same thing happen in past Madden games. Sure there have been some whacky scheduling problems (multiple games at home in a row, facing division opponents two weeks in a row) but they have always gotten the division/conference rotation correct.

I'm really not a complainer because, as I said, I really like what CCM has done but screwing up the schedule rotation is a big deal for me. If it was done right in years past (Madden 12,11,10,09,etc.), why can't it be done correctly this year?

If EA is reading, please correct this. It ruins what is almost a great franchise experience.

EA didn't want to pay their wages so they instead hired a monkey

Just because it isn't an issue for you that doesn't mean you have to belittle people if it's an issue for them...
