Meaning, when Looman talks about things like personnel decisions, win/losses, etc effecting confidence, that sounds great but can someone/CPU make a huge personnel move, trade and/or have a terrible season, then just nullify those effects on confidence through game prep? I hope not but we all know the history of there being loopholes to "game the game".

I think the way they counter this from happening is by giving you limited hours each week to use on game prep so you can't cheat the system.

You could do this in previous versions of Madden as well. I'll leave it to everyone else to comment on your vintage superiority complex.

With all the talk about confidence. You guys do know it was in the game last year right? It fluctuated throughout the season...great confidence equaled a hot streak...bad confidence equaled a cold streak.

I do like the other additions!

I was hoping to hear more about the single player of CFM but not much there. ?Like how it handles your player being a backup...will you actually get preseason snaps...etc. Also was hoping for something else besides just poicking your team you want to be on...if you are a rookie I think there needs to be som,e sort of draft combine.,..but overall this has me leaning more towards buying than not buying at the moment.

We were very vocal about that at the CFM Community Day earlier this year. Randomly generated players are great if their attributes are in line with what you would see in a player that is drafted in a later round in real life.

I really hope they fine tuned the random draft classes. I would really hate to see players with very off the wall equipment, numbers, etc. Also I didn't hear anything mentioned about the auto subs FINALLY being fixed in CFM. It's been how many years since it's worked properly?

ABSOLUTELY...I said this in the other thread. I don't get it??? Online I could see no editing. But offline to me not to be able to edit is inexcusable. Makes NO sense.


Offline guys are being pushed away from the game they USED to love with every passing year. Madden was never perfect but we had fun with it because we had the ability to make it what WE wanted it to be. We made players play like we thought they should. That's all done now.
