We NEED to be able to CONTROL our CCM!

Re: We NEED to be able to CONTROL our CCM!

See I am not someone who cares about equipment it doesn't affect the game in any way so it doesn't bother me, for you it drives you nuts visually. as for names, what needs to be improved? Before you answer take a look at actual NFL player names. Some of the craziest names are already in the NFL.

You are correct in that the NFL is full of random names; however.... I doubt there will ever be 4 or 5 D'Brickashaw's playing in the league. Even more 4 or 5 coming in the same draft.

Therein lies the difference (and the need for the ability to edit)

With regards to equipment, it personally drives me nuts as well, but is not the biggest thing in the world, just frustrating.

Re: We NEED to be able to CONTROL our CCM!

They should not rest on their laurels with their name file and constantly add a batch of new first and last names each game, and tweak the %'s a bit, but overall I'm way happier with names than several years ago. However, I'd still like to edit the names (and everything else) just because of that need to tweak things to my liking a bit.

I'm excited to see how regression was handled this year, that may alleviate a lot of my issues in CFM. But at the end of the day, as a consumer, even if ratings and regression are way better this year (by better I mean more to my personal liking obviously) I would still like to edit. I just don't think it should be locked out for any reason from the end user.

I have played through several CFM's in 15 and never had a draft pick with that first name. The Name comments always crack me up with the "there will never be this in the NFL". Who knows what will happen, how many parents named their kids after athletes? One day there could be ten D'Brickashaws in the NFL. If a few years ago there was a player in a Madden draft class named "Ha Ha" imagine the comments that would have got? "That will never happen in real life! And a guy named Captain? Cmon EA!!!"

I will give you another question: why in the year 4th of the new Madden we still can not edit these things?

Re: We NEED to be able to CONTROL our CCM!

This is my idea around formation subs in CFM

Since we now have free practice. In that mode we could adjust you formations and save to your profile in the CFM. They would need to add kickoff and fieldgoal formation and allow you to substitute there. Once again it would save to your profile. So if a move dont work in a game the next week go back into the free practice and adjust.

Re: We NEED to be able to CONTROL our CCM!

One "feature" that revolves around practice I would like is an easier drag & drop system for players at different positions. Instead of changing positions in the roster and going into practice a hundred times, I'd like there to be an easily accessible overlay that I could sub just about anyone in at whatever positions I want and watch them practice. This would allow for true positional battles as you watch a mobile QB pull a Terrelle Pryor and try to make the team as a WR. It would let you practice your backup LT at starting LG because you're weak there. You could try out a big WR at TE. You could move an aging CB to FS and see how it goes in action before you ever make the move official in the roster menu. You could try out different players at KR and see how they feel, etc. Just little things like that would be neat.

Because EA says you can't. It's their game they are allowed to do that. Why can't you change how Mario looks in Nintendo games?

That is SO absurd, and honestly feels like you're just arguing for the sake of arguing.
Nobody is saying there will never be this or that name in the NFL... Names become popular even thoug niche names like Captain or Ha Ha will likely never be as common as Michael, there are a few; but they are certainly not the norm, and this is the problem with EA's method, their name generator is limited and, frankly,illogical.

I actually think it's cool if a dude named Kielbassa shows up in my CFM, as there are plenty of dudes in real life with cool, unique names.... But when I start getting 5 dudes named Kielbassa every draft then there is a problem. Simply put, their name database is not big enough

I wouldn't care about the names so much if instead of 5 dudes named Captain in one draft, I'd get a dudes named: Captain, General, Sargent, Soldier and Admiral. It's ok to be original, just don't be repetitive or do things halfway

In the end, I just don't see the one downside with allowing customization... The reasoning can't be how it is not realistic when the whole mode is based off XP

agree with all of this but just for clarity his name is Ha'Sean, Ha Ha is a nickname

Re: We NEED to be able to CONTROL our CCM!

If EA can't put something as simple as editing player in a game mode, while the edit player feature is already available outside of the mode, then the mode is broken IMO, it makes no sense, EA just wants CCM to be played a certain way and the edit player feature might get in the way of that.


I also wonder just how much work is put into this game because they only used up like 18gb of disk space for Madden15, while NBA2k15 a game with more game modes that are fully customizable uses like 52gb of disk space. Madden should be far better then it is and they have the room to make it better but they are lacking the effort and motivation to do so.

This is without a doubt the case. He had these same arguments last year, after '15 released and threads came up about editing.

You do not have to edit anything Sheba.... you can just play the game !

Others, do want to edit things.... we have our reasons.

We have had editing in Madden before, and most all sports games have editing.

We just want editing back....

Thanks

Re: We NEED to be able to CONTROL our CCM!

The shoe fits just fine.

Tiburon is making the game, not us. If they design the game to not allow editing players, that is their prerogative and they aren't wrong for building the game in whatever manner they see appropriate.

In turn, you are not obligated to agree with the decisions they make and are not obligated to like the game they produce.

This coming from someone who'd like to see CFM player editing return to the game as well. It's not make-or-break for me, but it'd be nice.

Re: We NEED to be able to CONTROL our CCM!

My hope (if I´m not wrong) is that this Kolbe (sp?) guy was a major contributor for MLB The Show, and the game speaks for itself.

I don´t know enough about Rex beyond what I read here, but after all I read about Looman and see how Madden works after 4 years, I will not allow myself to fall into the same trap again.

Let´s hope one day we will have in the game what every other Big Sports title already has.

Disagree. Terrible analogy imo

How many players are in NFL with different equipments, bodies , hair type, skin color? In what way this fit with Mario´s game?

While I´m not obligated (after the first year of CCM I just rent the game), I don´t have a option...

Well, what is left for me is to visit here every year, show my dissatisfaction, and dream that one day they will put into Madden this feature that is in every other sports game that I know.
