Step in the right direction. Not perfect, but at least it feels like something new.

We all know that OVR doesn't mean much, especially in online CFM's where you always have a few people who like to spam their stud rookies. For instance, why would I want Kevin King (Who will be a top 3-5 CB by year 3) defending an 88 speed 97-99 OVR Julio Jones by year 3 or 4? When that same guy probably has a 6-2-6-5 95ish SPD 82-85 OVR young WR he throws to more? Makes no sence. Is this a step in the right direction? Sure, but it's far from perfect. I would at least like to see them, along with the best on best option, add a fastest vs fastest choice, along with a choice to match depth charts. So the #1 CB on your depth lines up vs his #1 WR, and so on.

U might've missed the tweet a few posts back. U can go spd vs spd, ovr vs ovr, height vs height, etc. nobody knows all options, yet, I would imagine. But, looks like spd vs spd is one of the options.

I'm glad HEIGHT is one of those options that you can select other than OVR.

You could have a 90+ OVR CB that is 5'8 go up against an average WR that is 6'5 and that corner is getting beat almost every time, ESPECIALLY in the Red Zone.

Also can be sorted by RTE

Great addition.... But that they announced it as a franchise mode addition is disappointing.

I disagree. I believe this does make a difference within franchise mode of how you draft or build your team. I'll use an example of how the Eagles drafted Rasul Douglas in real life at cb. His size and physicality can be a factor against dez Bryant and brandon Marshall within the division. Maybe not the important Cfm feature you were looking for but it is a nice addition.

But it IS a franchise mode addition. It hasn't been in the game before, therefore it's an addition and it's a very welcomed one IMO.

Really hoping it's a bit more open than this because I can already see a lot of issues with just matching certain attributes both from a user and AI standpoint. Direct assignments would be best, by depth chart option would be next best option. Hopefully this is something they will detail in a blog.

I believe more options from NCAA are going to make it into madden: I have already seen were we can select defensive play ball and pass rush options, so all a great bonus, especially if it works well. I also heard in one of the videos of the ea madden event that shading will work now, and m2m and zone play smarter, and lack of suction

I'd be very surprised if route running wasn't matched up with the best m2m cover corner.

The only other thing I can think of is your highest rated OVR corner vs their highest rated route runner

Yeah, I'm not sure. I definitely agree with who he replied to saying that MCV should be an option but if it has to match up with another attribute then it limits things a lot.

There are tons of variables when it comes to SPD, AGI, RTE, MCV, ZCV, Play Rec, etc. The Defensive Assignments that were implemented in Madden 2005 would be great for all that and could even been integrated as a part of Game Prep in CFM as well.

I think this year they're really focusing on gameplay. I'd rather have amazing gameplay and a mediocre franchise then an amazing franchise and mediocre gameplay. Franchise's time will come, I think.

I'm assuming the default setting is overall?

Cool addition but it isn't CFM, so they managed to take a lot of hard work, misrepresent it in the build up, and make people angry.

It also isn't actually what we asked for, which would've made it more palatable. If they were really catering to Franchise players who might take the time they could've added actual custom matchups, like we wanted. This is more for online/competitive/UT guys who want to be able to make one adjustment in about 5 seconds and get some result.

So yeah, cool addition I guess, it is actually something I'll use, but calling it a Franchise improvement is not going to make me (a mostly exclusive Franchise player) any happier about how we're getting even more ignored than usual this year.
