Of course EA/Tiburon can and does do whatever they choose but I'm just saying it's not unreasonable or unprecedented for there to be dates released for Madden news.

Im pretty sure that last year and a few years before, EA released a schedule of dates that they were going to reveal information about a particular said topic on. They sometimes would postpone the days that they were going to reveal news on and people would get mad because they were expecting news from EA on the day they promised to reveal it and instead they find out that the date that the news was gonna be revealed was postponed. I guess EA got the hint last year that releasing a schedule of dates wasn't a great idea since they got negative backlash from the community for not living up to their promise of revealing news on the said date on the schedule they released

No doubt and that's all true, I guess I'm just wondering why any news would need to be postponed or kept secret this year, at this point, with Madden being the only football game EA is releasing. To Kehlis's general point, I think I nitpick the things EA does/doesn't do quite frequently and that's because, as I have stated before, so much of it bewilder's me. I understand the things that EA/Tiburon does concerning EA football as much as I understand women, both of which, when I think I might just have an inkling of what they'll do, I usually turn out woefully mistaken.

One thing that might be really cool as one plays a CFM is the new playcall system.... Awesome if you can keep track of how effective plays are as your career goes

No News is NO NEWS! Madden 12, Big News was Looman letting us know things we've been wanting in Franchise mode had been added.


Madden 13, Big News was the revamp Franchise Mode into CFM & all the details.


Madden 25, Owners Mode. Nothing on new additions to CFM (like 46 man game-day roster etc. etc.)
Someone asked the Madden reps at E3 and they were basically told to wait until release day to get your answers. smh - because they did nadda.
We went with, they're working on next gen thought process.


Madden 15, yeah, Graphics and Defense. No word on CFM stuff except possible stuff done with Practices. hmmmm


I'm going with nothing has been done with CFM mode. They would have touted it if major stuff had been added. Just going by years past, the news is out & nothing was held back.

There's still almost two months until the game comes out and EA hasn't said the words "Ultimate Team" yet other than preorder bonuses. There will most certainly be more Madden 15 feature reveals, and CFM improvements likely are among them.

There's an entire studio under the EA fold located in Austin, TX which is solely responsible for development of CFM mode. I seriously doubt they have been doing nothing for ten months.

This gives me some hope I guess..question though..does having a studio away from their HQ working on one part and another office working on another..is this best or normal? I don't know as this isn't my background..could it be the reason for some of the issues with the game? Ie sliders working differently in Play Now and CFM auto subs etc..

It's not super-unusual for a large game to have some of its components developed across multiple studios, though I wouldn't necessarily call it a frequent occurrence. And yes, that could help explain the inconsistencies between slider functionality in Play Now and CFM, I'm (wild) guessing caused by values being translated incorrectly or not being read at all.
