What features are you most wanting to see in CFM?

Re: What features are you most wanting to see in CFM?

Bare minimum off the top of my head....

1) Editable draft classes
2) Fully editable rosters within CCM (that includes physical features, equipment, personal info and of course, ratings to fix EA's trashy progression/regression.
3) Score ticker (in games 15 years ago, but not today. Sad)
4) Immersive presentation (sad how far Madden is behind the curve)
5) Better CPU team management (tired of mindless offseason moves that make no sense)
6) Better draft AI (teams shouldnt be taking 4 WRs in a draft and shouldnt be taking QBs in the first round 3 years in a row)
7) Position Battles (How is this hard to implement?)
8) Ability to create teams from scratch and relocated. Screw this predetermined garbage)

Ill stop there, since Im fairly certain we wont even get any of them anytime soon.

Re: What features are you most wanting to see in CFM?

I made a list of the top 5 most requested features for CFM and passed them along to Kolbe & John White, two main devs for CFM now. Let me know if you guys agree or disagree with this list and what else you think the community wants most in CFM in M16,17, and so on, and I'll try to get your requests to them as more things are listed.

In order I said....

1. Formation Subs & Defensive Assignments
2. Edit draft classes
3. Scores & Stats Ticker
4. Weekly Wrap Up Show
5. Off & Def Coordinators(coaching carousel)

Great list.. Full editing of player ratings, features, etc is a must too. If EA isn't going to get it right with the progression/regression, I need to have the option to go in and fix any issue I see with the ratings just like it use to be. USERs should have every option available to them especially if it was a feature that was on the game in years past.

Editable draft classes would be my "Must Have."

Unlikely that we will get it in the near future, it seems.

Along with the list, I've also passed along the link to this thread to Kolbe & John. Keep your requests coming, also, if you could only have one new feature what would it be? I'm trying to find out the most wanted item for CFM overall.

Re: What features are you most wanting to see in CFM?

Make defensive fronts play to their strengths and weaknesses. If I have a bear front or anything that puts a defender on top of both guards and center covered, dives should be shut down. Unless lineman are physically outmatched.

Te's should not beat any defender on an outside post route. Make attributes matter. Elite defenders should shut down non elite receivers most of the time.

Untethered passing. I'm tired of pressing TE'S manually while the qb is quick passing, only to have the te speed burst out of the press animation and catch a ball he has no business catching.

Anything at all? How about a public-facing Madden NFL Connected Franchise API with which I could write CFM extension apps myself.

More realistically, I would start with... well, anything at all. Regardless what I think about how much the currently announced additions bring to the mode - and I think they do bring something substantial, I'm a big fan of the UI improvements - the fact is that the CFM team hasn't really thrown the fans who value authenticity the most in their CFM experience any specific bone this year. Even if the developers were to patch in a little thing (relatively, compared to there options; I don't know the state of the Madden code base to guess how hard it'd be for them) such as a contract restructure function to convert the current year's base salary to signing bonus for a player, that'd be nice.

1. *****Newspaper Articles, Weekly TV Shows and Radio Shows****
A feature that already was in a Madden from TEN YEARS AGO and while some didn't like the Tony Bruno show because it did get repetitive in conjunction with a Weekly TV show and added hours of recorded talking time it has the potential to be a great addition to the presentation. The goal of presentation is to make the game as authentic as possible and a Radio Show as well as a NFL Sunday Countdown type tv show and sportscenter tv show will raise the level of authenticity greatly. Cut scenes to and from the stadium, on field prior to the games. Paparazzi videos of the players in restaurants, vacation just going about their daily life on the weekly tv sports center tv show. Newspaper articles were good as well if they could only be further developed. The twitter messages have gotten real old real quick. They are the same messages, that are 140 characters long. Talk about the short end of the stick. The point of all this is to truly have the franchise mode feel the endless media coverage that it has in real life which ie: would make it all the more authentic, the goal of presentation.

2. Complete overhaul of commentary.
Specific Game commentary when it comes to Pre-Season, Reg. Season, Playoffs & Super Bowl.
If possible different Commentators for different divisions, and then maybe Nantz and Simms for the playoffs and regular exhibition games. But lesser known local commentators, an example would be radio commentators for each division during the season. This will give new life to the game as it progresses and prevents it from hearing the same duo over and over again. The duo that you hear is based on the home team's division. It will also help give the feeling of how large the league is and when you travel you hear different voices.

3. Bring Back the Create a Stadium (Full customization)
The owner mode where you were able to decide the layout, locations of video boards, seating etc. was the perfect compliment to Owner mode. The more customization the better. They should even take a page out of MVP Baseball and have the money earned directly impact the the Updates, which should ALL be visible and overall type of stadium you can build. Training facilities, practice and training camp locations, the options are endless. Just having price adjustments for stuff like Jerseys and concessions without it affecting in Owner Mode doesn't help ANYTHING. Everything needs to be connected, to pun intended.

4. Bring back the full REAL coaching staff with the ability to hire legends and former players as coaches. Have the coaches actually have an impact on the team with attribute boosts but also personality traits that have to mesh well with the other coaching staff and players to find the perfect balance. Ie: Drill Sargent or Players Coach.

5. Expanded legacy area, just won the Super Bowl & went through offseason. I get into TC/Pre-Season and there is NOTHING that would show that I had won the Super Bowl. My RB won the SB MVP, it's not even listed in his Awards. I want to see my teams Super Bowl trophies & the new one's I add to the trophy case. Vintage newspaper articles, Vintage recordings and highlights to help relive the championship year. Paparazzi cut scenes of your players celebrating in the locker room and with their families, then them on vacation in the off season. Have a trophy room. Anything to make you really treasure the experience of winning a Superbowl to make it feel like what it feels like in real life. (RELATIVELY SPEAKING)

6. Have a training camp where you preform tasks to increase the attributes. Similar to the one that was in the game years ago.

7. Formation Subs & Defensive Assignments as well as complete customization for Draft Classes and players during maybe only the Preseason or training camp and then only customization for equipment and such during the season.

The possibilities and potential is all there it is up to yall to deliver that legendary product that hasn't happened in years but I hopelessly believe.

if you could only have one new feature what would it be? I'm trying to find out the most wanted item for CFM overall.

The one thing I would want... and being realistic, because I know it "CAN" be added easily is,

Full Player Editing of every player in a CFM.

Re: What features are you most wanting to see in CFM?

It is a little thing, but I would like to have the ability to select the CPU uniforms before the game without having to activate a 2nd controller.

Also, as stated before, I think a live score ticker and studio updates similar to NCAA 14 would make CFM feel much more "alive" instead of feeling like your game is being played in a vacuum.

One thing..full editing of everything inside CFM..no matter how good EA gets progression and draft classes there will always be issues..this allows us to "correct" issues..

I think most of us would be happy with the feature where the CCF simply loads. Very frustrating investing time into a glitchy game mode.

Lots of work done on UI, accessibility, and functionality. Twitter feed is under news tab now so it doesn't bog down the menus like it has.

Re: What features are you most wanting to see in CFM?

I don't know how many of you are aware of this site, but there's a site Shopmaster created where you can rank your most wanted features for CFM. I know the devs visit this site fairly often, so please vote for your favorites and let's see what we can get into 16 and especially for 17 as they start working on their plan for it soon.

Re: What features are you most wanting to see in CFM?

Sigh....I hate to say it but. If after all these years of Franchise/CFM the Madden team still needs to have a list submitted to them we are no farther along than where we were with Madden 10. This forum has spelled out what the mode needs for a very long time. There are probably close to 100 threads about this topic.

I'll make it easy for you and the Developers....Depth.

Take a page from the roster and off-season of the shows franchise copy, apply to football and paste. Boom. Mind blowing stuff right there.
