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

Re: Kolbe says to WAIT to start your CFM

That just sounds like an excuse to me because madden up in till 2k went away never had big issues like this and MLB the show has not once from like 08 on had a issues that was a killer to franchise mode and NBA 2k has had some but still not at the level that madden has. Madden has more bugs then like all the other sports games ever year. So that short cycle doesn't hurt the other games like it looks like it does for madden.

Of course it's an excuse man. But it's a valid excuse, all games have bugs. The severity of the bug to you is what determines if it's a game killing bug or something you can live with. The guys that only play MUT aren't looking at CFM and worrying about the issues we're having. It's all perspective when it comes to all of these games. The 2k series, baseball, hockey, whatever, they all have bugs that will either make you not want to play or decide they aren't something that impact your personal enjoyment of the game.

It depends on the goal. They range from getting 1 in a certain stat such as a TD catch or to just keeping a team out of the red zone on defense. You can look at them when you bring up your play art, it's in the top right corner of your screen.

Thanks. I've only simmed through CFM so far to see what the scouting, draft, and free agency were like. I'm wondering if people who are experiencing the crazy boosts with players over 100 plus are hitting multiple goals. I'm guessing that once you become super human you're probably going to meet a lot of goals. Also, do the increases in ratings carry over from game to game?

NO the ratings increase is for that game only. That was the main reason that I didnt really care about it in my CFM. If I happened to hit a goal or two, it wouldnt effect any future games.

Re: Kolbe says to WAIT to start your CFM

While i dont doubt they are "looking into " these things people have brought up.Due to last year, i just doubt they are gonna fix them all. I feel like whats going to happen is , "well these are the ones we could fix, we have run out of time and hope to have it fixed in madden 17" .If this happens , im just done.

They have got to fix all of this games issues before starting on the next one , or they will waste alot of the next games dev time working on madden 16 issues instead of making something new and getting it done and having it well tested. They sent poor JL from cfm head to "work on regression and confidence all year". If it had been fixed last year instead of just saying , " here you guys go , enjoy, thanks for the money" , his time and the guy who worked with him this year could have been spent on something else. Its a simple business plan. They are constantly spending too much time , when working on the next madden , working on fixing the last one .They really need to fix all of these things this year.

Re: Kolbe says to WAIT to start your CFM

I started a CFM last night and I am going to continue playing it. I will take my time and not make it through the first season so hopefully the draft issue isn't there. The reason why is simple: 4 weeks from Friday is NBA 2k's early release date.

If I wait 2-3 weeks for this game to be fixed then it will probably be shelved or in the used bin of my local gamestop by then.

i've since listened to what they have to say, and it sounds like the draft issue is where the concern lies with having to restart, that's your take too?

i didn't know if this was generated before the first season starts, or after the first season concludes?

with my schedule, i'll likely only have preseason completed by monday...

i do however plan on playing my cfm long term.

The Kolbe guy said on Twitter they were only replicating the drive goal bug in quarter lengths over 8 minutes.

It's not relevant at all.

No more mentions of MUT in this topic.

This is spot on...its all about your personal perspective on the game. I remember when MLB The Show (I think 13) had the bug where players would regress and progress in Spring Training like it was a full season. Players would go up and down 10-15 points overall and I looked at that as a game breaking bug that I could not deal with until it was patched. I do not have that same issue with these bugs right now...its all about personal perspective.

This true missed this tweet..still hurts though..this kind of makes sense though..last year I remember the sack issue wasn't noticed due to them mostly testing on 6-8 minute quarters..now question is no acc clock?

Re: Kolbe says to WAIT to start your CFM

The problem with the draft thing is that the rookie ratings are generated at the start of the season (so you have something to scout). Thus it's going to affect everyone's first draft class even if you don't finish the season before the first patch releases. That's why he's saying to wait.

I guess the question regarding the draft is will all future drafts be based on the upscaled one or when patched with all futur drafts be based on the rescaled/patched versions.

I took the "don't start until the patch" statement as the mode will be nonfunctional with the new patch. I only base that on this being the first time I've heard a lead guy to say wait. I could be misunderstanding his intend though.

I play 15 with 15-18 second accelerated clock run off. I guess if I can get 120-130 plays per game I can play less minutes by not playing with the accelerated clock...

Re: Kolbe says to WAIT to start your CFM

I just had to bump up fatigue a couple notches and they worked. HB/WR rotated thru along with DL...Olineman didnt come out either which was always my issue in previous games.

pretty sure that's placebo effect. It should work at base 50% fatigue. What you're seeing is players come out cause they're tired, i have yet to see the sliders work the way they're supposed to work in play now
