Don't Start Your Madden NFL 16 CFM Until New Patch Arrives, According to Developers

[redsox4evur]

Someone please point me to a game that came out in the past year that hasn't needed a patch?

We're just going to have to disagree as to what's minor/major - a few FAs not signing or a few fouls not being called aren't major.

Last year with 2K I noticed the foul issue but when I turned up fouls I was still getting *some* per game, so again that is arguably the same thing as the aggressive catch being overtuned/powered in Madden. Is it somewhat off? Yep. But can I play a rough approximation of basketball/football without having to wait to start my franchise? Definitely. With Madden, we are being asked to wait because they can't patch the fixes (which again, this is understandable) and the issues will legitimately affect the mode for the entirety of the CFM if we don't wait. The rookie ratings scales will be off for the entire course of the mode if we don't wait, and we can't edit/change those things like we can in other games.

Then post patch I eased up on the sliders and got good free throw and foul stats. You're not making apples to apples comparisons. The issue you mention pales in comparison to a whole set of issues that led the game's chief developer to advise people not to play the whole mode. No one is saying the other games are percect, so don't use that straw man. I mean, c'mon, man. You're reaching, and I'm not even sure you play NBA2k, as I never see you on those threads.

Nobody is reaching. I played NBA2k every day. EVERY DAY during the season. 12 min quarters.

10 FT equals about 5 fouls a game per team. 5 fouls in a 12 minute game. Thats a gamekiller for people who want realistic stats and gameplay. You played 300 games and you honestly were ok with an average of 5-10 fouls a game?

The comment was to aholbert. I don't recall seeing him there much. Though I was asking a question.

I really wish they would just do an open beta program for a weekend and let everyone play the beta version. Then all of the major issues that we, the community come across would be known a few weeks in advance. Then maybe a release day patch would be more feasible.

He plays just about as much as anyone here.

First off, I accept correction on your NBA 2k use.

Second, no, I was obviously not ok that that foul rate at launch. Can you show me where I said that, or are we at war with straw men again?

It was not a mode breaker the way we are talking about CFM being ridden with multiple issues to the point that the ever opaque EA Tiburon is admitting it's not worth starting the mode now. Let's think in scales from 1-10, not binary 0-1.

LOL. I typically dont post in game threads after release week. Its mostly just a bunch of people nitpicking the game or complaining about things that I dont care about.

****, if I wasnt an admin I probably wouldnt spend much time in any of the game threads other than to get sliders and roster info.

My life as a gamer has been significantly better since I started doing that.
