Re: Madden NFL 20 Developer Stream Starting Now - Discussing Gameplay & Franchise Bet

Gentlemen, let's get very real for a second. There is a reason they are not showing us unedited gameplay. Let that sink in before you decide to purchase this title.

Ive played the beta. Game plays great.

Sounds like you've had plenty of experience with the beta.

Assuming they don't change it we will need to adjust the CPU QB accuracy slider down some I think

Just some food for thought O, besides the fact that your avatar really freaks me out , is that if QB completion percentage is still high, we have to analyze as to why it is happening. Are receivers running wide open? Are there certain coverages that are not functioning properly? Does the CPU have too much time to pass? Once we have that info, then I humbly believe tuning becomes far more effective.

Like you, CPU QB accuracy is one of my biggest concerns, along with auto-motion WR's not being tracked properly, due to excessive lag time by DB's in man coverage and MLB zone responsibilities in Tampa 2. Hopefully, it's been sorted.

I find it hard to get excited about "promises" for down the line. 5th year options to be patched in? Sure, let's see. These "live service roadmaps" change all the time, everything right now is just PR speak.

Tiburon has a pretty strong reputation delivering on what they intend to add and/or change post-launch. Madden has been a live-service game for a few years now, so they generally have a good handle on what they can and can't deliver post-launch, especially with respect to scope of new features and changes.

Given what's gone on with Anthem, however, I'll admit your skepticism isn't baseless.

They were handing out beta codes like candy on Halloween. Let that sink in. Almost anyone could get a code and play the game if they wanted. On top of that EA Access launches before the game releases. You’ll have plenty of vids then.

Just last year we got open roofs in CFM as a part of a title update.


The other option here that people don't realize is they just save everything that didn't make it in for Madden 21... That's how it used to work. The game already went gold, so the Deion Jones contract (and the Julio one that is coming), as well as the deals for Robbie Gould and Grady Jarrett wouldn't be in the game. They aren't obligated to add things once the game has gone gold, but they're doing that for our benefit. Would people seriously prefer that they just not add 5th yr options until next year?

For those asking about scenarios, in the beginning of the stream they mentioned that they added more and made them happen more often and will continue to add them through the year,as part of CFM now being a live content service.

I like this. It's just an absolute bummer that CPU teams don't have to deal with them. It would have really made franchise a living breathing world

Why didn't EA do it for cpu teams affect scenarios beside user team ?

From Swami's tweet it does sound like they're working on that so maybe we'll see it this cycle at some point.

They have nothing to hide if that's what you're implying, the beta showed that. Go read the beta impressions thread.

They are not showing that to build hype, this has been discussed ad nauseam.

These contracts could easily be updated in a Day 1 patch. Hopefully that’ll be the case.

Stamina penalty for stiff arm that was not in the beta, and there will be a future update further addressing this. Fumbles by hit sticks were only touched in Sim mode only, primarily due to injury risks that aren’t present in competitive and simulation.

This is pretty cool to see something specifically tuned for sim. His explanation made a fair bit of sense as well. Although, if they tune this wrong, this could mean too many injuries instead of fumbles. Lol.

Well it looks like I may end up doing a 32 team franchise since swami just confirmed that cpu teams don’t get scenarios.

For all the cool / great news and information we got today, this right here is a major disappointment.
