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

I was originally going to play through, then i got home from work and read the updated front page.

Im a bit more unhappy now. It seems to me as yesterday was release, that this would be classified as a "round the clock" until fixed time frame thing.

I don't know much about how it all works other than the patch has to be tested and approved, then go through ms/ps4 certification or what not. Is there an expedite option from with in?

I all of a sudden just feel that this needs remedied asap. Is EA really stuck, assuming the fix is in, or do they have any inside pull on the issue?

Re: Kolbe says to WAIT to start your CFM

The confidence stuff I can live with, it's basically in every sports game out there. I am right there with you on the dynamic goals, XP stuff. I don't want to play an RPG, I just want to sit down and play a game of football.

I know some people hated it, but I liked the somewhat pre-determined progression/regression system of Head Coach. Actually I thought that was the best franchise mode top to bottom of all time for console games. Why they went away from it, I will never get. If I could get Head Coach's off the field depth and design with the current version of Madden on the field, I may never leave the house.

When Head Coach failed from a sales standpoint, and had mediocre reviews as well, they seemed to go scorched earth in terms of making the decision that almost nothing from that game would be integrated into Madden. IMO, that was an unbelievably short-sighted and erroneous take-away from what happened with HC.

Draft Champions, MUT, a Head Coach-like franchise mode, and the ever improving gameplay, would have all reviewers and all but a tiny minority of football gamers, totally in love with Madden.

I'm sorry, but no matter how you slice it, it's embarrassing.

I l franchise mode for years, then came CFM in madden 13 that ruined it all for me, first off I skipped that year completely because it didn't have 32 team control


Since then they still have not fixed the following, that USED to be in games pre madden 13


Pre existing injuries are not in the game, yet their is a option for it, roster updates won't have for Example Nelson on IR, meaning roster spot taken away for me to have accurate real life rosters, and there is no more 55 man rosters that give us 2 extra slots, simple fix give us a injury editor like MLB the show does.


Still the Depth charts get screwed up! so all the work I do means nothing, and LS that are TE STILL and I mean STILL can't be put on a CFM depth chart. Why the hell bother having LS in the game if they can't even player the positon????? but don't worry they are lower rated players so most teams will release them anyway because they are not on a depth chart and because they are lower rated players they will DISSAPEAR


70% of players disappearing after pre season, so I can spend weeks days making 75 man rosters for 32 teams, guess what? most of those players will be erased soon as the regular season starts, and only overrated higher rated players will stay on the rosters, ZERO way to get around this, add to the fact pre existing injuries option is useless because the roster updates never have them in your more of a chance of losing a lot more players disappearing because you can't keep them on the roster






You can only create rookie players now, you can't edit the EXP years of a player so if you wanna create a 10 year Vet that EA don't have in a rosters Forgotten, he's going to be playing for Rookie of the year as a mid 30 year old player.


It's getting to the point where I know these things never will be fixed


You gotta play play now mode to get the perfect rosters and LS playing where they should be and not have disappearing players quite sad

I couldnt even find him on the roster, however I didnt look much into it. I just remembered he was injured and restarted.

I don't think anyone is "OK" with it, some are just more tolerant of this type of stuff more so than others. I lean towards the extreme not tolerant end of the spectrum.

Which is certainly your prerogative.

My fear is if they rush to fix, they break something else.

Dont jinx it!

But yeah, that is my fear. I still have around 3 hours left in my trial, and my disc copy is still sealed, but I am determined to stay positive.

Re: Kolbe says to WAIT to start your CFM

Whats worse? Consumers who know this is EA's way of doing business yet continues to purchase their products. We have a decade of data with these guys, its the same every year.

Thank God for this site, I was almost lured in, again. As customers, we need some accountability as well.

Every year I tell myself I'm not buying it and I get lured in within the first week of release because I want to play football. I was considering getting it tonight until I saw this thread

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.

Re: Kolbe says to WAIT to start your CFM

I'm honestly shocked any of these bugs are in the game. This is not a shot at EA. But honestly there are CFM developers who just focus on this part of the game. For months they test this mode out. OS found the majority of these bugs on the first day of EA Access Trial. I get the whole it went from so many people to millions but honestly some if these bugs are just clear as day.

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

Just a complete bummer. I'm dying to play. The only reason I buy Madden is because of franchise mode. Only thing that works in my favor is that I usually have to wait 2 weeks before I found the perfect slider set before I begin. I guess I can take this Time to practice but I'm just bummed out regardless.
