Re: Was/has there been any franchise info released?

The biggest reason this happens in Madden 25 CFM is a balancing issue, that being the User's access to 40,000+ XP per-player via weekly practice that the CPU will never see. Take that away and I imagine the experience with the mode becomes significantly more even.

Exactly correct. I do not use practice at all in my CFM, I only distribute XP to my players before each pre-season. In year one no XP upgrading. I also have the CPU teams set to upgrade once a year as well.

My current CFM is in year 4 and feels balanced. M25 is the most fun I have had in franchise mode with Madden since Madden 2005. So it is making progress. But it still needs more. No question. I do get immersed in draft storylines, and love the tweeter feeds making my league feel more alive.

But.......

Dynamic commentary would go a long way to immersing us in our CFM's. It really makes a huge difference in The Show and NBA 2K series. Despite so many complaining about The Shows commentary, It's relevant to your season and is dynamic. Even updating you on the current series your playing etc.

Madden needs what NCAA 14 already gave us. A working active ticker like you see on Sundays. Scores and stat's from around the league!!! Break away game updates like in NCAA 14. It would go miles towards immersion.

It was done on the NCAA series and IMO done pretty damn good.....why can't Madden make the same upgrades towards CFM player immersion? Baffling.

Love your ideas and i agree with you about the progression if you dont abuse it and only use xp in the offseason its not bad at all i am in yr 7 and its the same way pretty balanced.

I don't think it's really our choice, the players physical attributes are actually what makes them able to become stars. WR with 98 speed but low awareness and catch can develop those things thru XP but it cost much more XP to make a WR have 98 speed. Skill XP (awareness, accuracy, man coverage) cost less than physical XP (speed, strength, throwing power)

XP should not be available to increase speed no matter how much. Accuracy & Arm Strength are other areas where XP should have no ability to help a player.

Any draft class info? Similar to NBA 2K?

You said it... I don't care about anything else but custom draft classes.

Accuracy should have a range for improvement. Look at Peyton Mannings INTs early in his career... Or any other great QB. They get better over time. Not everyone should be able to have an increase to 99 but I always prefer to have more options rather than fewer.

I disagree. Coaches can work with a QBs throwing mechanics and that could lead to his passes being more accurate and having more zip. Those attributes should be more expensive to upgrade than over attributes though.

Btw, if we did it your way, how would QBs progress?

I'm closing this thread since there has been _some_ Madden 15 CFM info released, thus answering the question posed by this thread. Leaving this thread open is going to lead people astray searching this thread for info when there is little to none to be found here.

Please feel free to continue any and all Madden 15 CFM discussion in the above thread. Thanks!
