CPU vs. CPU in offline CFM? (Madden NFL 16)

Re: CPU vs. CPU in offline CFM? (Madden NFL 16)

It's great people take a stand and believe in their principals and I've seen the outcry for the past decade on OS, but the game still keeps plugging away, year by year.

Yep which is the point..
Also explaining why EA does what they do is an opinion on why they do it... not defending what they do.

Anyways...Just a few more weeks though to go...

Nothings been lost on Madden team. They will continue to cater to the vast majority of buyers of Madden.. the casual.
For them to go away from that and risk alienating the main $ income would be stupid.

Saying they cater to the casual fan is like saying the sun is bright. We know. Being disappointed that CPU vs CPU isn't in CFM when it is a feature found in many other sports games is still a legitimate issue. To not mention because EA will still make money regardless is confusing. We shouldn't fight for things in a game that we want because they'll make money either way? Also, who said should alienate casual fans? Who said that? I didn't. Did anyone else? Just because we want CPU VS CPU back?

As always resort to condescending remarks.. bravo...

Who said CPU vs CPU was NOT a valid concern?? (I voted for it) .. No one

Who said to not "fight" for things? (I said I say my concerns and move on).. No one

Complaining over and over isn't "Fighting" for something.

You said things were lost on EA... I explained how no things aren't "lost on EA".. They know exactly who their strongest fan base is.
M16 seems like they are at least trying to get some things into the game more on sim side so thats a welcomed change and also shows they are listening to some degree to Sim fans.

And I also was making a point all these "I'll keep my money and show them!" type posts are tiresome...
and would have little effect in the grand scheme of things when the casual buys far outweigh the sims.

Seems some of you simply want to fight or argue about something....
Feel free to use ignore.. Thank you.

In a interview with Sean Graddy from E3 he said it's something the devs are aware of and are looking into. It's not going to be in this year, unless it's patched or something though.

Hopefully the same with a true Coach Mode...

After Madden 13 came out I saw an interview with somebody from the Madden team, I can't remember his name. He said they were looking into putting it back into the game. Since then we have had 2 games released and a third game is just weeks away from being released and still no cpu vs cpu back in the game.

So I don't think I will be believing it until I see it. I have no doubt it will come back, but it's just a question of when.

This. It's all lip service until it's confirmed in the game. I remember reading the same thing. I believe it was Josh Looman, but I could be wrong.

If you're tired of these posts, who's forcing you to come here and comment? Like you said, simply ignore the thread and comment on the threads that do interest you. Seems simple enough.

Re: CPU vs. CPU in offline CFM? (Madden NFL 16)

Yet it is an easy fix because I use the work around where I rate every 3rd string QB low and watch the CPU vs. CPU play in offline franchise mode. It's an easy fix, but they act like it's such a hard thing to put in. Very lazy.

Do what? How does rating every 3rd string QB low allow you to watch CPU vs CPU games?

If you do this with 32 teams, third-string never gets in game and you just watch two AI teams. I believe.

You need two controllers. You select 32 QBs. Rate them low and make them third string. Turn off injuries. This will allow CPU vs. CPU. Limits control, but it is what it is.

Re: CPU vs. CPU in offline CFM? (Madden NFL 16)

32 teams, 2 controllers, 4-5 QBs per team(main menu team management screen), QBS Only League, Off-Season team management(Draft 1-2 QBs per team) if needed, Injuries-ON (if there is 4-5 QBs per team )...

Guys I've been periodically following this "Classical" thread for about year or two. Thnx to Pats & all the other Simulation Community members for there posts.

$$$ PlayTest in Play Now: Sliders, Team Management, tec% The workaround work. In CFM follow advice listed above... [I agree with everyone; CPU vs CPU should always be in the game. IGN & Gamespot played it as a backdrop during their show floor EA Madden 12 demo presentation)

Here's something that's even simpler: People are allowed to post constructively in any thread they want at OS, good, bad or indifferent opinions. The way you are suggesting is restrictive posting for only like minded people.

The only way I see CPU vs CPU being added for 16 is in a patch, and there might be a slim chance that happens. I'm not a programmer, so, I don't know if it's as easy to flip a switch or spend a lot of time and money on CPU vs CPU for a patch.

For people that have been here as long as I have, they know I was beating the same drum over and over regarding the lack of penalties for several years and finally, this year, there seems to be some major additions in that area. Beating the same drum for several years and I started to notice I sounded monotonous because of the lack of attention it drew. Finally, a developer stated about a year and half ago that expect penalties in the game in the next year or two.

I feel CPU vs CPU will draw attention to these developers vs the other regimes we've been through, if they stay together. There is turnover and change in software companies and that can lead to someone's that is new to different visions and ideas where that particular area needs to develop.

The key is to remain patient and join other causes like coach mode, formation subs, improved sidelines, improved halftime show, etc......

He can write whatever he wants. I just offered a suggestion. If the same argument bothers him, there's plenty of other threads on different topics. He doesn't have to like how others see the issue, but we are still going to voice it.

We're going to stop talking about where, when, and what people should post and stay on topic.

Thanks for your cooperation going forward.
