FIX: Setting Up A 32 Team OFFLINE CFM Instructions

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

1/Saw someone mention that SuperSim is disabled with 32 team control. Is that true?

2/About the CPU teams not making trades, is it possible to set the other coaches to AUTO just until the trade deadline, so they'll make trades on their own, and then switch it back later on? If that works, could also be a way to engineer some draft day trades as well.

1) Super sim turned off as far as it not being an option when you are playing your game? It's there..

2) The only time computer teams font trade in 32 team control is during the draft. I've seen plenty of trades between teams during the season. I never touched auto.

Okay, thanks man, glad it's not disabled. Will set one up and see if the AUTO settings can trigger draft day trades. If not, probably not a big deal. Thanks again.

So this one team thing is working IF you use offline and coaches not owners? Do owners work with this?

Still reading through things, but not sure what is still being used.

I have no intetest in 32 team control as it doesn't stand up against the test of multiple seasons for my liking.

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

No idea if owners work. Coaches work fine though.

And right, offline.

Thank you! Can anyone else confirm?

Planning on starting up a franchise finally using the new rosters from Mizzou24.

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

Also, I could have sworn I read that someone took the EA roster update and edited it down to just the 53 man rosters plus IR guys. I thought it was around page 13-16, but now I can't find it?

Hoping there's something for PS4 that allows me to start in regular season with 53 man rosters.

****Also, still hoping to hear confirmation on whether OWNER mode works with this 1 man control thing where you retire the coach each week. It seems as though it was, but then there were some issues found later on?*****

I think this is the roster your looking for, posted on page 31 by Living on a Pryor:

I was up late late last night cause i was determined to finish. Started the reg season and played one game so far. I looked at a few rosters and they all seemed intact. I will get a better look at it now that i am home from work.
Go buckeyes!! haha

32 team control is a great way to start out a CFM franchise. It requires some work, but serves the purpose.. But for me, it is more logical to have 1 team control and set the team you wish to play to control.. Especially if Dynamic drive goals ONLY AFFECT PLAYED GAMES.. then turn it back to CPU.. Here's the thing. At any time you wish, you can always take control of any team at any time. Any week, any UN-played game. So in week 4 if Dallas makes a real move, and you would like to duplicate it. Simply take control of Dallas, make the move and return it to CPU. Or take control of as many teams as wish.. it don't have to be all 32, I am only concerned with the teams I play so I look at my schedule, and take control of only those. I only play off line... I also think that to put all that work in to something, then EA patches it and changes everything.. So what ever fits your needs, make it work for you.. It really amazes me how quickly some of these madden grues figure this stuff out. I truly thank and appreciate everyone who makes an effort, takes the time, to make this game more enjoyable for everyone.. EA should simply send the game to these guys to test before putting it on the market.. I believe the guys that make this game simply see it as a paid job.. And the guys on this board play it for the love of Football. The first thing I do before i purchase this game is come to these boards and and get ideas, before i install it. Again, THANK YOU EVERYONE.. This truly is a Football loving community..

If you don't want to do 32 team control. I find setting up the 32 team control to be a lot easier. You do it once and you don't have remember to go through this hassle every week. To each his own.

sorry, but as no english native speaker I don't understand how to set up 32 team control....
please could someone provide a really step to step guide for this?

Everything you need to know is in the first post on the first page. There are several options listed but it's all there.

Later in the thread, however, it begins to be discussed how owner mode may get stuck??? That's what I was referring to at least.

Please Sticky this mods! People have a lot of questions.

Armor & Sword and Booker21 did a lot of the testing on this so I want to give them credit for making sure this worked as a fix to the issues people had in CFM (confidence/robo QB primarily).

First off DELETE THE TUNER (it is in system storage on PS4, similar spot on XBONE) you can reinstall it or not. According to many, including myself, the gameplay is fine if you install the tuner after the patch. So juts go in and delete then download it again

Armor & Sword posted in the title update thread:

"It is a one time front end set-up.

Just make sure when you set up every coach on the front end you set player progression to weekly and set all roster/game prep to auto for 31 teams. And coach firing to off

After that you are all set to roll. And you can play any game you want in addition to your own each week....sorta like a "game of the week" showcase for your CFM. It's fun to play with other teams to get a feel. Also if your in a tight playoff race and you have a huge underdog playing your division rival.....take that underdog team and try to upset your rival in front of you to help your play off push!!! So many things you can do to spice up your CFM with 32 team control.

You can make it as deep or as hands off as you want. Just do the front end set up and off you go.

Also....huge thing. Before you start week one pre-season (or regular season if you choose to bypass the pre season on your intial set-up) save it and name it 32TeamMasterFile.

Then if you ever want to start over.....you don't have to go through this process ever again."

Also a tip from Booker21:

"To create a 32 teams control what you have to do is.

Create a franchise and select your team, starting point, league settings and on YOUR TEAM select all CPU SETTINGS OFF and coach firing OFF. This way the AI won´t touch your team. YOU CAN CHOOSE COACH OR OWNER, but if you choose OWNER be sure to put Coach Firing to OFF

Then you start the franchise, until here, is the same as you ever did. Now what you need to do is

1.-Press R3 and select new character.
2.-You will se the same screen you saw before, your team will have your PSN Nickname and said taken, so you select another team and you will have the same exact screen as you did before, but this time on CPU SETTINGS inside the league settings you set all to ON. This way the AI will take care of this team.
3.-you repeat this same thing for the remaining teams.
4.-Then you go back to your character, and done you don´t have to enter or do anything else for the other teams

Saved as a start so you don´t have to re do all again, if you decided to start a new franchise with other team you can just change settings and character.

NOTE: DO NOT SET ANYONE ON AUTOPILOT. It seems this enable the Drive goals.

Hope this helps"

BE SURE to set CPU teams progression to weekly or every 4 weeks (seems that "end of season" causes CPU to not increase AWR well).

BE SURE to have the "Sign FA's, Fill Roster, etc" set to ON when you start up each new user. Once you start go back and set JUST YOUR TEAM to OFF for signing FA's, fill roster, etc.

DO NOT set teams to Autopilot. This will not eliminate drive goals and will cause Confidence to wreak havoc on your CFM (robo QB!)

Some answers to common questions:
The CPU will still sign FA's, trade, draft, etc. You still have the power to go in and fix what you wish, when you wish.

It takes 30 minutes max to set this up.

You do not have to do it before every new CFM as long as you save a master file as Armor and Sword recommended, I do the same, it's great!

If you want to use updated rosters, like in Week 10 or whatever, you'll have to do the set up all over again. Whatever rosters are active when you set up your master 32 team save will be the rosters you are stuck with unless you do it over. I personally like using the default week 1 rosters.

If anyone has something to add please let me know but this should be enough to get people started. I have done my 32 team offline CFM's like this for years and I love it. It's a HUGE time saver once you do the 20-30 minute initial set up. It also reduces aggravation as you can fix CPU logic errors when you wish to.

Does this apply to xbox 360 as well?

I have no idea if the same issues (Drive Goals creating Robo QB's, etc) affect the XBox 360 but the set up is identical I think.

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

Huge problem for me is that the CPU doesn't trade draft picks amongst themselves with 32 team control, and if you want to trade up/down, your offer is automatically accepted.
