2nd/3rd String Action - Player CFM

Anyone actually start a Player CFM as a non-starter?

Curious if there is any addition to play time in the pre-season like the normal NFL teams do or if the starters just play the entire game making it impossible to show your on field skills before becoming a starter like in M13.

Thanks,
Rich

Haven't started one with M15 yet, but last year, at least the 2nd string got a series or two in the preseason. Think they made adjustments this year, so that the nonstarters on the team get some XP to keep them progressing.

Re: 2nd/3rd String Action - Player CFM

When have the starters played all game in madden? Hasn't it always been starters 1st quarter and then 2nd string the rest of the game? Not perfect by any means, but don't remember starters playing the whole game outside of guys coming in to fill in for the 4th, 5th+ secondary player, etc.

My problem w/ CFM I had during early access is as 2nd string the simulation would stop, have me call a play and then I wouldn't be part of it. Even as a RE and calling a 4-3 defense the game at some point thought I would be part of that play but instead I just have to watch it. More than doubled the time it took to get into a game, was kinda annoying. Different issue though than what you're asking about, for sure.

This is more toward QB and RBs. I was second string on 2 two CFMs and I never saw the light of day unless the starters got hurt. It was a big flaw IMHO. I hoping that is gone now.

As for 2nd quarter starters coming out did not happen in M13...maybe they tweaked it in M25.

I got some snaps in the pre-season as an undrafted CB for the 9ers, but my undrafted QB for the Raiders didn't play a single snap in pre-season as a 3rd stringer (only kick holder). Only Schaub and McGloin got PT.

I think 3rd string QBs should see action as well in the 1st two games. But good to hear the 2nd string got it.

Anyway to make it so a starter doesn't play at all in a preseason game, it seem that everytime Adrian Peterson play in a preseason game on my game, i trying to make sure he won't play a down, but he still play.
