Who Plays What Modes...By Percentage?

[ShavarHayes]

It's safe to say I'm a Madden OG, as I've been playing for about 23 years. I've been around for every implementation, exclusion, fluff feature, etc. I always notice that whenever there's a new focus, a lot of the community feels alienated. When they focus on CFM, strictly online H2H feel neglected. They focus on online gameplay, offline guys feel left out. Then there's MUT (which I've never even touched), which a lot of guys spend damn near all their time on. What modes do you guys feel get the most attention among all Madden players? Is a minimal amount of attention, evenly dispersed the answer? Are you satisfied with all you know about '15? If not, what's the next level for you?

It's almost that time fellas...officially lol

I'd bet that offline CFM is still the most played, easily. But MUT is starting to take over and it makes perfect sense from a business model standpoint to introduce it. I think it was bound to be popular as long as the devs didnt butcher the implementation. Its a persistent, team building game mode, borrowing the personnell strategy mechanic that CFM users love, and fusing it into an online vs mode with a season structure.

They could have added the ability to ALLOW AN OFFLINE CFM PLAYER TO TAKE HIS TEAM ONLINE AGAINST OTHERS' SQUADS, but how do you charge money for roster moves in franchise mode? Pay actual dollars to re-sign top talent?

They are the gatekeepers, and would love MUT to be the most popular mode, im sure.

I may actually give MUT some love this year. Like I said, I've never even touched it. '15 may be the season

Played Madden since its inception, was always competitive online, especially in sim leagues. Lately, I don't have time for them anymore so in order to not become bored playing the CPU for maybe 2 seasons, I played CFM as a created player.

The mode itself is and always has been terribly stale, but with the new D cam it became more fun as a defensive player. It's the only way I get into 5 year franchises being able to play a just few hours per week. Seems like a lot of the focus is on MUT, but lately the devs have put a lot more time into CFM to where I feel the work is spread out pretty evenly.

I do hope they revamp superstar mode so it becomes its own entity next year now that the other modes have a solid foundation. After playing the 6 hour trial, I'd give it a 6.5/10, whereas M25 scored about a 5.5 for me, so it's certainly improved, but still needs a lot more work to reach true next gen status.

Yeah, its a blast actually. Its a different kind of fun than cfm.

Just wish they added matchmaking for offline cfm. Playing the computer is fine if you can stay in the daze of denial. When you play people online, it makes playing the computer seem like the special olympics.

Offline franchise - 90%
Exhibition - 5%
Online play ranked/unranked - 5%

[JaymeeAwesome]

Offline franchise 100%

I would like if your earn coins to buy MUT cards but not actually have to play MUT. I miss the card collecting days.
