Yes, i agree, and im not calling them that, without the fact, which is why i said id like to know when they actually started on it. Im saying if april is correct, as he said he thought was when they started working on app, then it is a lie to say they were working on this early in the dev cycle by whom ever typed that article up and who approved it.

FYI you may want to reread the statment again. They never said they started on it "early" they said they decided to shift their focus early on.

Yes, i know that, so they decided early on to do away with website, but then thought, lets just wait till April to start on its replacement? That sounds like very ,very, poor planning if so.

"Early on during our development cycle, the team decided that we would shift our focus from maintaining and supporting the Franchise Mode website in favor of developing a Native Mobile Companion App." This says early in the dev cycle , they decided to stop supporting the website in favor of developing an app.So they decided that early on and just thought, lets wait to start on this app?

Would seem like , if that was decided early on,that figuring out what to do to fill that void doing so would do, would have been also something to figure out at that time and get to work on it.Based on my experiences of being in charge of projects ,laying out a plan of action, and getting to work on it.


I hope John is actually allowed by EA to give you the truth on this matter after its out. Im interested to hear the truth as to why its taken this long and its still not out.

My point was, it wasn't a lie. It is more complex than forgetting or intentionally waiting. I'm sure it'll all come out eventually.

Looking forward to hearing it man.And looking forward to this thing being out.This is really hurting leagues.

Its done, its almost November. While Id love to see it tomorrow, the damage is done.

You can tell me "a deep bomb to Julio Jones is coming, to just wait" all you want, when you are down 31-0 in the 4th quarter, who cares anymore.

Stop being so grim, it's only the 3rd, and we're only down 24.

Most of us are just about to get to S2 in our respective CFMs, I think there's still time. IF it's out soon. Which I'm not very certain about...

Yes I'm about to start season 2 and it's almost comical at this point even if it does come out. While Mut gets updates with beast mode. Cfm fans don't even have the messenger app from the game on our mobiles to hold us over. Well it's just a matter of time before ea screws something up for ultimate team like a feature or take something out . Tic toc.

It will occur this cycle.

When? April?

Sorry, couldn't resist...

haha, it's all good. I get it, everyone is frustrated as am I. I am in a CFM and the off season is when we really felt the lack of remote access. The time frame I was hearing was putting us in the range of last week give or take. I am still hearing it is coming, but when is something I have no new information on.

I will say that MUT really has no bearing on CFM. Somewhere along the lines it has become common place to assume that MUT's success has somehow affected CFM. They have completely separate teams autonomous from one another. The game play team crosses over to some extent, but CFM and MUT have practically nothing to do with each other.

MUT does affect CFM. But not in the way people think it does. MUT makes a ton of money and some is probably kept as profit and the rest is used to make the game better. So it can be used to upgrade tech (Frostbite engine) or hiring new developers.

Obviously this would never happen for MUT it makes them money and has the more gamers playing and it's the simple really. Technically simple math. EA going to supply the demand for MUT. Cfm gamers is small percentage of gamers . With that being said they've made the money off the cfm players purchasing the game. MUT PLAYERS CONTINOUSLY KEEP PAYING FOR UPGRADED PLAYERS ETC. CFM CAN'T COMPETE WITH THAT.

They both have separate teams of relatively equal size. The difference is MUT requires very little beyond what the game play team already provides. They have their sets and the new chemistry this year, but for the most part not a huge engineering undertaking. CFM on the other hand has a lot of mechanics behind it beyond just game play that, while not "sexy", requires a decent amount of engineering work.

I think this is why sometimes it seems MUT "gets more" when the reality is its the same amount of engineering hours, but a lot of it just isn't sexy.

Cfm gamers is small percentage of gamers .

Those playing in 32 person online leagues are in the tiny minority, sure, but EA has stated on more than one occasion that CFM was actually the most-played game type. At the very least it runs neck & neck with MUT.

The easy narrative is MUT makes them all this incremental cash and thus gets all the love, but that's not necessarily how the development world works. Similar to how a big college football program makes a lot of money and yes it gets a lot of resources, it also generates major cash for the university (which is why universities invest so much to keep their programs big) which benefits a number of other departments indirectly.

Ugh, such a built up let down. It's Tuesday, it's the 1st of the month, it's November. Today had all the makings of an app drop.

I realize there's a long day ahead of us, but dang, i really thought it'd be on us today.
