EA you guys made an AWESOME game. Please don't cave in to the complainers

[GOBLUE_08]

I think they definitely made a huge jump in the right direction this year. Once they iron out the bugs I can then say it is the best Madden I've ever played.

The complaining on here is overblown as it is every year, and I'm about 99% certain that a lot of it has to do with people not being able to bend the game to their will. "Oh, I didn't go 16-0 with my Redskins, this is BROKEN, that is BROKEN. I wasn't able to trade for X player that's a 99 overall, trade logic is BROKEN". And the list goes on and on. Same as every year.

Honestly, a good bit of the stuff people are complaining about can be fixed with simple slider adjustment. Sliders actually work this year. The aggressive catch can be eliminated completely by turning up human reaction time and pass coverage. Same goes pass/run game.

If I can be completely honest, I peeped a lot of the youtube/twitch streams from so called "respected" Madden folks, and I seriously doubt that most of them actually even watch the real NFL and claim to know football based on epsn highlights.

Pretty much my viewpoint. If they fix cfm this maybe the first time I play multiple seasons since the ps2 days.

I think it's just the reverse. People complain about not enough realism. Not about wanting more arcade. I believe your examples are absolutely wrong.

I went about 6 seasons deep in a JAX CFM in M15 and to me, M16 is a much better game in every way. I love the recruiting aspect of NCAA14 but I can see putting the PS3 that I got a few weeks ago on the back burner for M16 and my PS4 for the long haul. Maybe I'm just taking the game for what it is (a game) but thus far I see NOTHING wrong with M16!!!

Fixing CFM is a great start. Even though there are strides to be taken in gameplay, I like the gameplay. But even after CFM bugs are fixed, I just don't like the arcade feel to CFM. That's just a comment on personal preference on my part.

Not sure what you mean by arcade feel to CFM. Can you elaborate?

Problem with a lot of guys who want realism is when they get it they complain. See the increase in injuries a few years back.

Lol, raises hand. I didn't understand all the contract rules in MLB The Show and watched as Machado, Bundy, Gausman all ended up not on the Orioles after the off season. Thank goodness for saving before the off-season started.

Mainly the progression/regression system. But a lot of other things are missing, like practice squads. A lot of people like that XP/Goals RPG loop, but it's highly unrealistic and has progression backwards. Realistic progression would have statistics follow progression instead of progression relying on meeting goals.

I personally would like the game to have both actual values and perceived values for overall and attributes. The actual values would be hidden, while the perceived values would have some % of inaccuracy, represented by a number range or letter grade (including a player potential value). The accuracy of the perceived values would depend on how good the coaching staff is at evaluating talent for NFL players and how good the scouting staff is for rookie drafts.

My dream progression would depend on things like the
Coaching staffs ability to teach,
What the coach decides to emphasize in practice (OTA's, Training Camp, Preseason, regular season, playoffs), for both team and individual drills,
Players potential.

I'd like to see a PUP, practice squad, living/realistic injury system where players can play with injuries at a certain risk with reduced effectiveness.

More in the lines of Head Coach. I only had the PC version of HC, which was just the first one.

I would also like as much customization as possible. Custom Teams, full editing even during a franchise.

I realize a lot of people like that XP/Goals RPG feedback loop, but it is just not for me. Make's me feel like I'm putting a quarter into an arcade machine instead of being immersed into an NFL world. But like I said, it's just personal preference.
