Pretty sure you can push left or right on the DPad in the no-huddle playcalling window and you'll be switching between different formations with your personnel grouping.

Yeah, I think that's the case, but for me, it was a bit clunky. It was a bit more difficult than using the normal 'huddle menu'. In fact, I think I tried using that way ONCE, and I was clicking left, right, up, down, u name it, and I could NOT find the formation/play I wanted, so I either had to call a TO or I just called whatever play was on the screen and snapped the ball with like a couple secs on the play clock. So, in that scenario, hurry up was not hurry up. But, I know that can go to normal huddle screen, find my plays easier, but again, to not 'cheat' the CPU, I actually run the play clock down to like 25-20 before snapping the ball to be more 'realistic'.

I know you can't give any info yet, but have you played franchise? Will you have insight to give us once that blog drops?

The bulk of my time was spent doing franchise stuff

Maybe you can't answer this, maybe you can. But I really hope the menu structure is improved. It takes too many steps to do some things. The resetting of menus after sorting, Game Prep is awful when you just want to use all the prep on one player (have to go through the process multiple times). Moving through menus and screens can be slow. Any improvements on this?

Dude that's awesome. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it.

How much harder would you say playing offense is compared to 16? I averaged right around 35 ppg in my online franchises this year. Posts, corners, crosses, seams, streaks, slants, and zone runs were a huge part of my O. So should I expect my offense to take a significant step back? Also, how is the learning curve? I for one hate when they make too many changes to gameplay from year to year, because I have to relearn everything again, I hate that.

Can't answer as it ties directly into Franchise stuff

Can't give impressions, but when you think about the changes they've made to gap play and zone defense, well...I don't know that you'll be terribly thrilled, but it's the sacrifice for brand new stuff.

Well as long as my D improves, it should even it self out. I just don't want to throw 25 picks a year before I figure it out lol.

Did you actually play the franchise mode? And if so what team and how far did you make it in the franchise?

Asked and answered a few posts ago.

A lot of franchise, a variety of teams, multiple years deep

Really pleased to hear that you were able to play multiple years. So many of the early issues with Madden 16 CFM only became apparent in the second and third years. Hopefully this will mean that we won't get similar game breaking bugs cropping up again in this years title.

Can't wait for the CFM blog to drop, but I imagine most questions about multi year CFM will stray into "impressions" territory

Did they improve on dline and LBERS moves to maintain leverage because of the gap control

Are they using the same score bug 3 years in a row? Surely not
