CPU vs. CPU in offline franchise mode? (Madden NFL 15)

Re: CPU vs. CPU in offline franchise mode? (Madden NFL 15)

I don't play or watch cpu vs cpu cfm/ccm games for the record. But I feel bad for all of you here that do. It's ridiculous why features than people depend on are removed and discarded like nothing. Even after seeing the people upset for 2 years now EA refuses to make it right for you guys and that is sad.

The weird thing is there was similar backlash to the removal of the fantasy draft. It was patched in that year. It's been a few years now of no cpu and cpu and no action. But they add things no one has ever asked for.

Yeah, I don't recall a demand of no CPU vs. CPU in offline CFM. I don't know, I just don't get it. Again, I know it's hardly the biggest feature, but there's a fan base for it. I don't want to be told how I should play their game. We live in a world of endless possibilities and they take features away? I guess I'm lost.

I want old school CPU vs. CPU in offline CFM. I just want to control GM/owner stuff and watch the games. No offense to coaching, I just want old school CPU vs. CPU. :-)

You still can make roster moves though but for your team that you are coaching . I do understand you though you can only do play now CPU vs CPU games . I would like to go thru a season and instead of simming the playoffs if my team doesnt make it there be able to have the option to watch the cpu vs cpu in franchise mode

Well it's official, once again, there will be no CPU vs. CPU in offline CFM. After last year's outrage, I figured they'd have to put it in. It's a simple fix and every other sports game on EA and 2K has it...I'm not quite sure why Madden is so feverishly against it. Oh well, hopefully the workaround is still in.

So unbelievably disappointed.

To be honest , dealing with madden games the past few years I'm no longer sad mad or disappointed. "This is what they do". So I already continue to play madden 10 and 2k5 when I need my pro football fix. Luckily EA made a great college football game last year with CPU vs CPU in franchise and you can watch any game , that will keep me busy for at least another year

Well, looks like 3 years and counting since my last Madden purchase...How long will EA (and the NFL, really) force me to play Madden '12, or nothing?

This just goes to prove they make the game they want to make.

Doesn't make it right, because I'm interested in coach mode that they once had in the game and that was removed, too.

I just can't believe it would be that costly to add back in the game, so, I feel everyone here.

Well it's back to Madden 12. I'm not buying any new Madden games until cpu vs cpu is back in. The only way to make them listen to what we want in the game is not to buy it each year. As long as you guys buy the game and use the work around they won't fix it, at least right away they won't.

Re: CPU vs. CPU in offline franchise mode? (Madden NFL 15)

what I don't get is EA puts things in certain modes but yet removes them out of others... u can watch cpu vs cpu in play now but u cant u cfm??? few yrs ago they took out edit players in cfm but u could edit in play now? then fantasy draft.


and I still don't get where ea comes up with the ideas of we'll ppl weren't liking this so we added this new option in game??? I go to a few madden sites and a bunch of 'NEW' things they added in I've never once seen asked for on those sites.


I agree with others as we'll EA want's u to play the game how THEY WANT not how we want so what if we wanna watch the cpu play each other or make all players 99's we pay the $65 each yr and should be allowed to play the game like we want not every madden player plays online or is into MUT.

What's also interesting is that EA says it screws up CFM if you have cpu vs cpu games. Not sure it really does. As someone said if you do a work around nothing bad happens. Not sure what the harm would do if you just slid the controller option to the middle like in the old days.

Previous franchise modes weren't effected by this either.

To your other point, I went onto maddens game changer idea page (think it's outdated now). Only 2 out of the top 20 requests were added from 2 years ago.

I honestly don't understand the thought processes behind their implementation strategies. It is what it is, but damn, I just feel like the decision makers are disconnected from the community at large.

that don't make sense with the cpu vs cpu game messing up cfm???? when u play a 1 team cfm u have 31 other teams playing each other so that's 31 cpu vs cpu games I don't see that messing up cfm in no way.

I don't understand this..how can a CPU vs CPU screw up the game? How is it different then player vs CPU? I know u don't know the answer but this kind of answer for the reason makes them look bad

It factually does not screw up the game. How do I know this? Because me and many others did a workaround that proves just that. We can't manage teams when we do this, but we can spectate. You need two controllers, turn off auto-start, turn off injuries, select 32 third string QBs, and turn on game flow and the CPU battles itself. Funny, I didn't have any bug glitches with the game nor did it screw up XP. So the excuse is a factual bogus claim. Not an opinion and I challenge anyone to try it themselves in Madden NFL 25. I'm not trying to bash EA because I love Madden, but they are not telling the truth as far as not being able to have CPU vs. CPU. Why do we have to do an absurd workaround when it can simply be patched. They knew the complaints from last year, could have fixed it, but they didn't. They decided it still wasn't worth adding in despite every other sports game having it for theirs.

Because I am a raging moron, I will buy it as long as the workaround is in the game, but I'm hesitant to buy it until I know for sure. Like many of you, I'm canceling my pre-order and waiting to see if the workaround is still in.

I seriously don't consider this being over picky. This is something we demanded be put back and they didn't listen. I understand that MUT and online gamplay is their top concern, but no other sports game is going out of their way to remove features they love.

Sorry...I believe EA Sports is capable of great things. Some things are brilliant. This decision isn't one of them.

I guess more of what I was asking was how can that be their excuse ?
