Re: FIX: Setting Up A 32 Team OFFLINE CFM Instructions

Okay so i'm doing 32 active owners team control. Do i have to do anything with the coaches? Or am I done?

Re: FIX: Setting Up A 32 Team OFFLINE CFM Instructions

Okay here I am - I have set up 32 team control and all options are set to on (even coach firing) for my team I have everything off.

I want to just worry about my team and the cpu can do as it pleases. This will get rid of thr drive goals and confidence bugs, but allow my own NFL world, correct? If I ever need to make moves I can just toggle options for teams and make them.

What issues will I run into come seasons end and the draft?

I thought Coach firing had to be off for every team

Thanks for the pointers, its more of a challenge to get things right which is my concern. I could so easily miss something and everything go to pot after putting in the hours

But im going for it - wish me luck

Okay it seems if you leave off, you just have to worry about replacing coaches who retire. On, you get coach movement and need to worry about replacing them at the end of week 17? I don't know...

Ok so in a a team cfm where u add and delete coach your playing. it looks like news will say he has retired but he has not. I'm seeing if it forces that coach to retirement at seasons end.

I didn't passed the year one yet. But I did retire the same coach several times for testing advance week go back to create new character and I select the same team I played and it shows the same coach as "recommend"

I can retire all times I want. Maybe the problem is when you end the season? But that would be weird.

For whatever reason setting AUTOPILOT to ON allows drive goals to go into effect and messes up confidence. Setting the Fill Roster/Sign FA's/etc to ON/CPU shuts off the drive goals.

You can turn roster off if you run everything and goals still won't pop up, but autopilot needs to be off

One thing about being all 32 coaches... does that mean in game the coaches are not real? Both graphically in games for example on the sidelines and also in team stories or team pages in the menus... ie instead of Belichick, we have COACH USER 32 or similar?

Meaning that this passed the test of playing a divisional opponent for the second time and being able to assign and retire the coach successfully both times?

So far it has. If you have issues could you please make a video showing exactly what you are doing. Because I'm not seeing any issues doing a 1cfm and using this workaround.

I never thought that anything could make me "control" all 32 teams, but here we are. For me it was easier just to make the 32 characters and let the CPU control all the teams but my Rams. The CPU controlled teams are still putting players on the block and inquiring about players on my team.

Drive goals are gone, so no crazy confidence bumps, there was nothing wonky gameplay wise in the first game so everything looks golden.

BIG UPS to everyone who figured out all this stuff. You guys saved CFM from going Hindenburg.

I think that's the route I want to go. I want to have my own NFL world, not mimick the NFL per se.

So I created a user for every team (coach) I set everything to on. Do i set cpu firing to off or on? Doing this method, if works like past solo franchise mode. Cpu will sign, cut, resign players, make trades etc... Only thing it won't so is draft players and make trades during the draft, correct? Will computer scout players? What about weekly game prep, on or off?

Then I can just worry about my team. Anything else I need to worry about?

Does hiring/firing/creating/retiring all these coaches create scheme issues? Id imagine it would.

I'm doing the whole create new character for the team I'm playing and then retire them. It's working great 2-1 in the preseason with the Vikings. Does everyone think the game plays the same as play now? It seems a little different but I'm not sure.

The coach is not actually fire. You just lose control over the team. I recorded a video showing I already played against the Redskins on week one so I created new character and assign gruden coach twice.

No issues what so ever so far. I'm also simming to next season and I I'll try to create a new character again with the same team. Just to see if the game does retire them after the season ends which I doubt it.

The confidence will make it play different. That is why we use this workaround. The more close the players are to no rating boost the closer it plays to play now.

Confidence is still moving but at a more balance way.

Re: FIX: Setting Up A 32 Team OFFLINE CFM Instructions

So should I be creating new characters or just assigning coaches for 32 team control? I just assigned the appropriate coach to their respective teams.

Re: FIX: Setting Up A 32 Team OFFLINE CFM Instructions

I just simmed to next year and I was able to create new character and assign he default gruden to the Redskins. Several times. So this is working 100%. I'm going to upload a video showing. And I may do a video explaining what you have to do. There are many confusion. I may create a new thread since this workaround doesn't involved 32. Control teams so it will be cleaner.
