10? You might be giving them too much credit.

I am so out of the loop on Madden info this year. Please elaborate. That's a whole separate formation this year?

Yes, basically a sub-formation on the Nickel and Dime formations.... kind of like when they added "Wide 9" as a sub formation to some other formations.

My issue with this, and I hope I'm wrong... is it will be mostly the same plays we've always had, but the players will have different pre-snap positions.

I can see these plays being used by the CPU as the positioning will most likely be what is used to stop many shotgun runs and the infamous 01 Trap plays...The 3 technique is too easy to run the 01 Trap plays against..

I've learned through the years not to have too high expectations for the CPU AI in Madden

Basically what drove me to 32 team control + playing offense for both teams and choosing random plays for DEF from customs playbooks for each team.

I have been wanting another Head Coach game since they cut the series; I was hoping CFM would become HC within Madden...

I'm not a coach mode guy I LOVED head coach. The off the field depth such as scouting and drafting, free agency etc was the best I've ever seen in a console game. When Looman came over to madden I thought he would be bringing all that to CFM, but so far we haven't seen it.

My exact same thoughts..
