Well I guess I will not be purchasing it this year then.

I agree, i definitely will not be buying it if its not in there. i hate being an owner
and have to play the game. Owner don't play the game they watch their teams. i hate being a coach and have to kick field goal, kick off. I yet seen a coach have to kick off, or kick field goals. that not real football.

Just so I understand you better, how would this work in preseason? Would you watch all the preseason games or how would you decide which ones to scout during.

I would watch my games and it was great. I found a DB that was low rated but was really good. I kept him on my team and he ended up being my nickel guy all year. If you were to just look at his ratings you would have cut him, but he was great.

I drafted a Hb in the 7th round, he was like 240 lbs. No way he is gonna make the team, his overall is like a 58 I think it was. First 2 preseason games he did great when I brought him in, of course that was against backup players. So I started him for the last 2 preseason games and he still was very good against starters. So I kept him on my team and by the end of the year he was my number 2 back.

That is the fun in cpu vs cpu, finding guys that can play. Guys that shouldn't even be on the team. Putting a team together and seeing if they can win. Scouting for the draft becomes much more important. You have to scout players more then just 2 or 3 attributes.

Also, I'm 40 with a family and have just as much time to watch cpu vs cpu games as I do to play them myself. EA has no excuse, no excuse at all for not having cpu vs cpu in franchise mode anymore!

Any official news on this? Did anyone confirm one way or the other if it was or not?

It was all about game play yesterday with the blogs.

Pretty simple for me when it boils down to it and that NO PURCHASE (and that goes for FIFA 16 as well) if they take the approach of having no cpu vs cpu like in Madden 12. The idea is to provide options for offline players when playing CFM as a coach or owner. The coach career should be centered around making decisions while watching the flow of the game. What is the point of coach and owner career if it plays like a player career.

The game is beautiful and the animations are awesome, and some fans don't like to control players anymore and would simply like the option to have cpu vs cpu matches and influence the game by using strategy and feeling like a coach. If anything, the owner career should be 100% CPU vs CPU where your handling of the coach and GM could impact the effectiveness of the team.

CPU vs CPU I know has been a wanted thing so I'm all for it. Although I wouldn't really use it I assume it would help get a real coach mode in the game.

I would hope CPU vs. CPU would return to the franchise mode, but I'm losing a lot of hope. EA seems not to be listening to this subgroup.

That's fine and I can take my $60 elsewhere. Look, it is not difficult to appease us here because it's just plain laziness where EA can't simply give the player to spectate or be able to have strategy controls in coach and owner career mode.

They are acting as if they are being asked for some new mode or some or ****, when in fact it is something that does not affect the other players of the game. Why pay more money for what is essentially a roster update for the most part? It's just a business decision by those of us that support the Madden series, but no longer want to buy it without this option or to edit draft classes.

Not really a big deal when you think about it and I don't mind skipping the game this year or when the price drops to around $20-30.

This certainly isn't no where near just a roster update.
Hate that CPU vs CPU isn't in but one look at the videos and blogs and it's clearly not just a roster update.

And the laziness statement is ridiculous.

Yes, laziness. The game needs to be more versatile with respect to playability. Yes, upping the animations and throwing in a tweak here or there is fine, but it is not enough of change for $60. Editing draft classes will say it all, mark my words.

No it's not! I have been saying that for 2 years now. They are lazy! There is no reason not to have cpu vs cpu in franchise. It's already in the game, just not in franchise. Why not?

Yeah, what the hell is the purpose of having a owner career mode where you still have to play the games and not have an option to spectate or send messages down to the coach to do what you want or pressure him?

It's just ideas to expand the gameplay experience so that you feel that you are truly getting a new experience compared to last year. Same gameplay with tweaks is not worth $60.

Not doing it.

Just because they don't have something in the game you want does not equate to laziness. These guys spend tons of time away from family etc.. and very long days during the cycle.
I'm not totally happy with everything either and voice that but in a respectful way.
Moving on.

It's not about me, I can live without cpu vs cpu, no problem. I'll just play coach mode, oh wait I can't because they have yet to make a true coach mode. Although NCAA had it, also made by EA. And I don't want to hear about how they are different teams working on different games.

So I can't play cpu vs cpu, can't play in true coach mode, so now I'm forced to play the way they want me to play. Let me say that again, THE WAY THEY WANT ME TO PLAY.

So please tell me again how it is about what I want!

Oh, and I can't play the way they want me to play either because the sacks are out of control, the penalties don't work, the sliders don't work, instant replay doesn't work. So if it's not being lazy then what is it? Because these things haven't worked in a long time.

I also know about being away from my family for long periods of time for work, like from April until October for 15 years of my life. I worked everyday and only saw them on Saturdays and Sundays, but that was after I was done working. So I think I know a little bit of what it's like to do long hours and not see the family.
