Is there a way to align the Safeties to play tight man coverage on blitzes instead of staying deep in M17? I remember in previous Maddens you could use "show blitz" to get one closer as a sorta workaround but not actually aligned for tight coverage and I don't recall "man align" doing it either.

I disagree, if they would expand the adjustments from the standard up, down, left, right to include the diagonal directions or even implement a double and triple direction input to get the differing zone types. That can solve it. I kno these increase the chances of inputting the wrong command but I rather have that risk than being limited to just a select 4 to eight individual adjustments. They can even use the trigger button together with a directional input to expand this. Just saying there are ways around it but will make presynaptic adjusting a bit more lengthy and difficult.

Well to be fair in real life you don't have access to every coverage after a play is called. In fact it's pretty limited relatively speaking. Each coverage has built in adjustments, but that seems to be reflected in the pattern matching. Aside from built in adjustments, you definitely do not have access to the entire set of coverages after the offense lines up in real football.

So, as a GameChanger, I've been lucky enough to be invited to EA's studios to play Madden 17. I've been given permission to answer questions here with some ground rules: I can only talk about what's been announced and I cannot give any impressions. I will always err on the side of caution but I will let you know if I can't answer something and why. With that said, fire away!

Hi. I have heard that there is actually a practice squad feature in this Madden. Is this true and did you have any time to examine it?


Also, is it true that there will be a Draft Board feature this year? If so did you get to mess with that?


Thanks.

There isn't a draft board so to speak but a watch list is still in. On the other hand, there IS a practice squad. You'd be better off reading the EA Franchise Mode (CFM) Blog to learn the basics on the practice squad.

So no possibility of the CPU picking your players for you based on your list if you can't make a draft?

I am pretty thrilled about a practice squad though. It just doesn't feel realistic to not have those developmental guys on the roster but inactive during the week.

I Dnt know if this has been asked bro. But did they update the player profiles with team abbreviations and the year of probowls and superbowls won in the players profiles..

Price,

There was some talk by some of the Game Changers that not everything had been released about CFM yet or there was more to come at some point. Obviously, there isn't anything major they're concealing, but do you know what those people were referencing? Is there anything relating to CFM that our community would care about that we don't know about yet? Thanks.

In the Twitter thread, there was a tweet that said there are multiple CFM blogs to be released, this tweet came after they released the ones

I'm not sure. I know there's some presentation stuff in CFM that people haven't seen.

Do you know if you can adjust player's ages in CFM?

Have they adjusted confidence at all from last year? Also, how exactly does dynamic development work? Like how long and under what circumstances would a player go from star to slow or slow to star? Also, do slow dev players retire at very early ages, and star dev players are better longer?

Would like to know this as well. In 16 after week 4 all my players would have 99 confidence.

Confidence is completely different. Doesn't matter as much as it did and largely dependent on W-L.

I don't know the specifics of dynamic development. I ran a bunch of sim tests looking at specific players to check progression and regression and I noticed it changing but couldn't pinpoint why at that time.
