A Definitive Guide to CPU-CPU, Play the Moment, and Super Sim

Yes, they absolutely impact the gameplay when you watch on 'slow'. The difficulty level, quarter length, speed parity, playbooks and fatigue will also have an impact from what I've found. And no, none of those things seem to have any significant impact on normal or fast sim speed.

I was 3 seasons into my Browns franchise where I was basically pretending to be the GM, just building a team and spectating from the press box, but now I can't make it through an entire matchup without it freezing at some point. It doesn't totally freeze, it just gets stuck on cut scenes and never moves on. I have yet to figure out what causes this but I will continue to investigate considering I might actually get the Browns into the playoffs and it would suck to lose all that time put into the rebuild. If anyone has a similar issue and/or any ideas, I'd love to hear it.

I was having the same issues until I read a suggestion to go to SUPER SIM, select JUMP FORWARD, select END OF GAME and then hit X when the simulation starts. This is better for me because the game will not stop for play the moments. I have not had a single freeze when before (like you) I have one every game.

Re: A Definitive Guide to CPU-CPU, Play the Moment, and Super Sim

If I change gameplay sliders, will it affect the SuperSim in "slow" mode where you are basically watching the game play?

It's my understanding that gameplay sliders don't affect a fully simmed game (where you don't watch it). But I wondered if that was true for simmed games you watch.

Thanks!

I didn't want my first post here to be negative,but Sliders absolutely do nothing when you Spectate the game inside CFM. You can put everything at 0 & quickly find that out. Or better yet put all defense stuff at 100 & offense at 0 & you will still get 27-24 scores/high QB completions %. But if you can live with the Jaguars beating the Packers in week 1 in CPU VS CPU With EAs spot on everything at 50 rating,then you will have a great time. I actually play with a friend,couch co-op & the settings work great in those. So I enjoy Madden quite a bit but when we can't play,I do wish Sliders worked inside CFM Cpu vs Cpu.

I can only get a couple of series into watching a game and then Madden crashes, even if I do it this way.

How would this work on 32 team control? The Super sim and Key moments feature are locked when doing a user vs user game.

Is there something I'm doing wrong? My buddy and I have been doing an Offline Franchise as owners once a week. We'd like to be able to play the moments when our teams play each other, but instead have to shorten the quarters, which screws up stats.

This would also stop me from doing 32 team owner control. Is is because we are owners, is it different with coaches?

Re: A Definitive Guide to CPU-CPU, Play the Moment, and Super Sim

I went through hell trying to fix the freezing issue. I reinitialized the system completely removed the game and reinstalled and it was still happening.

I did notice that it happens when I tried to press X to get through to watch the next play when I lose patience and want to speed things up.

It seems the only time to press X safely is when the camera cuts to the coach. You can safely press X then to move on to the next play.

One time though, the game crashed when I didn't press X and after a kickoff, on the first play, the team went into a huddle and didn't bother to call a play. They just stood around and let the clock go to zero, got a delay of game penalty and everyone just stood around. The controller was unresponsive and I had to restart.

So pressing X can sometimes cause the freeze to occur unless you do it when the camera cuts to the coach. At other times though it might still freeze by itself.

Has it been announced in any news releases yet if it will be available in Madden 18?

Re: A Definitive Guide to CPU-CPU, Play the Moment, and Super Sim

The problem isn't so much HOW to get a CPUvCPU game but the fact you have to have every team assigned to user control (whether the CPU is assigned the routine roster management tasks or not) in order to be able to watch ANY CPUvCPU game on any given week in CFM. It should be fundamentally unnecessary for this but unfortunately it's a consequence of CFM being built as an online franchise first and foremost and they never contemplated the notion of anyone watching a CPUvCPU game. And that goes back to them not really understanding the wishes of an offline CFM gamer.

So, does it look like the CPU vs CPU offline franchise mode will be set up just like it was in Madden 17? If so, I can live with that but still wish it was as easy to set up as it was in Madden 12 and currently is in MLB The Show.

What I'd like to see is Madden and the other sports games like The Show be released with two discs in the package. One disc could be for the RPG aspects (Road to the Show, Longshot, etc) and other fluff that I for one have zero interest in. The other disc would be only for franchise. They could add a lot more content and possibly reduce bugs with more space available on the discs.

So they just couldn't be bothered putting the simple Play Now option of placing the controller between the two teams.
