Don't Start Your Madden NFL 16 CFM Until New Patch Arrives, According to Developers

Re: Don't Start Your Madden NFL 16 CFM Until New Patch Arrives, According to Develope

Man, this is disappointing. I've played Madden since about 02 as a franchise mode junkie. After the glory years of 05-08, my dad and I put down Madden in favor of NCAA's dynasty mode. I ignored Madden until NCAA got the axe, and found myself purchasing '15, playing somewhat but ultimately disappointed. Whenever I played I was left with a bad taste in my mouth for whatever reason or flaw.

I decided to step up and maybe join an online league this year and get active in the online community, something I'd never done. I was skeptical(XP and goals don't belong in franchise mode, and the scout system looked simplified and OP) but preordered the game. Upon launch I love the gameplay, it's at a better stage than it's ever been imo, but my precious Franchise mode is broken. It's unacceptable meanwhile Draft Champions and MUT looks flawless. I would think Franchise mode would be the backbone of ANY sports game, but not anymore. I reluctantly continue to buy because of my love of the game. Looking at all these issues and hearing the actual ****ing developers tell us the game is broken and we don't know when it'll be fixed... I tell ya.

WOW, like some of us just dont know how to read. How is the mode broken? Can you not start a CFM and play it until the patch drops? I am sorry, does yours freeze or not load?

I am not making excuses for the developers, but it just kills me that people actually swear when these guys dont need to address the issues or tell us things will be patched. Man, I am surprised mods around here are letting you guys get away with some of the stuff that is being said.

This is not our site, we have the privilege to post here and read the stuff going on. Some of you probably don't care with what I have to say, but mark my words, one of these years, EA wont be posting on this site anymore because a lot of you are ungrateful and aggressive.

Do you have to be so literal and rigid? You know what he means by broken. If a developer says "Don't start this mode" what does that mean?

It means he's answering the question of "Do we have to restart our franchises?" every year when a sports game gets patched. The answer is yes, so he's telling people to wait.

Franchise mode is totally playable, the results are just not optimal right now. Maybe the 'broken' guys should use a more accurate word to describe the issue.

You'll have to forgive us, but those of us who've been around here forever will tell you the term "broken" is the most overused and inaccurate term used in the forums here. At this point I generally ignore people who use the term and write them off as agenda posters, but some still bristle at the usage of it in situations like this.

Do you have to be so passive and judgmental?

The term "broken" gets tossed around so much around here it makes me sick. Broken is what its meant to be, not able to be used at all. What the dev is saying is "Dont start this mode because you will need to start over because of a patch" No where does it say from a dev that the mode is 100% unplayable.

"Broken" and "unplayable" are certainly not the right words to use. CFM is definitely playable if you don't mind significantly unrealistic results.

Agreed. He said not to start because essentially they can not retroactively fix draft classes. The end.

I'm playing CFM testing settings etc.. Once I get a set I'm doing a fantasy draft CFM. Once the bugs are gone.. I'll be more than ready to play real CFM.

Semantics. Dude knew exactly what he meant by "broken". Its not "broken" in the sense that it does not function, it just doesn't function properly. But, yes, I agree, "broken" gets tossed around far too freely.

Passive and judgemental? Ok. If you stopped playing the ultimate contrarian role in all this and picking and choosing when to take something so literal and when not to you'd see other perspectives outside of your own.

Why are semantics are okay when it's thrown around to suggest there are tons of people here who are okay with this bug but not now?

You seemed to be all about that guy using semantics to say there were tons of people in this thread who said they were okay with the bug.

The fact of the matter is that nothing talks like money.

I'm sure if we looked at sales numbers year-over-year, there'd be no statistically significant impact of negative reviews, poor user experience, complaints on OS forums, releasing buggy CFM's, etc.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of people who were going to buy Madden each year are going to buy it anyway, whether they put in 5,000 man-hours of bug testing...or 5 minutes (extremes used for effect).

So, given that, from the executive level, why would you invest thousands of dollars for long-term, dedicated bug testers, when you're going to end up with the same sales in the end? That extra money spent is just "wasted" as far as the bottom-line goes.

I'm not saying the above is RIGHT, but when the masses will buy the product regardless of how much time is put into QA, there's little incentive to look at anything but the closing share price.

And this isn't an indictment of the team hired to do the job - they are just pinched between a rock (some very demanding fans) and a hard place (execs who were hired to increase profits for shareholders).

I'm sorry but 2k16 will be out by then and madden will be traded in so I'm just gonna deal with it.....pisses me off I traded the show in for this game Tuesday......

Whoa whoa whoa. You traded in the show?! First mistake haha. But in all honesty i feel ya on the nba part. Sounds like CFM will be ready just in time for my favorite game to drop.

I believe I said "I don't think anyone is OK with it, rather some are more tolerant of it".
