Offline. You can't do 32 team control online, just single.

With everything set to auto for the other 31 teams, they should make all the usual moves/resigns/trades as they would if not under 32 team control. The plus is you can step in and handle certain resignings/trades to correct the usually poor CPU management logic.

Then if you ever want to start over.....you don't have to go through this process ever again.

Those last 2 paragraphs are huge and you'll thank yourself over and over. I have been playing this way for years now.

Married, full time job, 2 kids in baseball and soccer...I need to maximize my game time! This does it. Once you save a master file with 32 team control all set up all you have to do is load that file when you want to start a new CFM. After you load it, immediately make a new save (Call it "Cowboys/Giants/whatever your new team is") and save it separately so you don't screw up that master file.

It's awesome. The CPU does everything you want it to do but you can still "step-in" to fix things or even make sure it takes smart picks in the draft. Make your own trades if you want between CPU teams. Fix bad signings/trades if you wish. I sometimes step in and control the top 5 picks and then sim the rest until it gets to my team.

It's glorious.

I imagine you can use existing coach in setup of 31 coaches and if you wish to be an owner do that no problem. CPU will draft, sign FA and reorder depth charts under CPU power? I want to roll with my team and let the oter teams decide for themselves. If I initiate a trade will the CPU control veto/accept or is it all user based? Thanks

Should take about 20 min or less once u get the hang of it. It's stupid but you can press x thru the cut scenes (ps4)

I have a question, is there a way to do this for online CFM with a couple other people?

Edit: never mind saw goblue answered my question.

Sounds like one is coming. The biggest issue I'm aware of it crazy confidence boosts that make gameplay a lesser experience. My experience is QB's completing nearly everything. I think the LT regression and QB awareness is still seen, correct me if I'm wrong.

And coach firing to off After that you are all set to roll. And you can play any game you want in addition to your own each week....sorta like a "game of the week" showcase for your CFM. It's fun to play with other teams to get a feel. Also if your in a tight playoff race and you have a huge underdog playing your division rival.....take that underdog team and try to upset your rival in front of you to help your play off push!!! So many things you can do to spice up your CFM with 32 team control. You can make it as deep or as hands off as you want. Just do the front end set up and off you go. Also....huge thing. Before you start week one pre-season (or regular season if you choose to bypass the pre season on your intial set-up) save it and name it 32TeamMasterFile.

I posted in A&S's slider thread and I'm posting here becuase I think we all own him a big thanks for going far above and beyond the call of duty and genuinely seeking to help everyone else get the most out of the game. He's on this site answering questions all the time and clearly not just in his own slider thread. His knowledge, insight and optimism have been a great help to me and I'm sure many others. Let's give credit where credit is due. Props to you Armor and Sword!

I'm thinking of relocate a team in my CFM and naming them the Knights in your honor!

I don't believe so, you can only control 1 team per user in online CFM.

Guys I know it sound like yo hard but trust me it isn't. I know armor like to play and control the whole league but if you want you can play with only one team and plays exactly as solo offline. Just set coach fire off and all settings to CPU resigns, draft, fill roster etc. then you never ever need to enter to any other team

Do not set others teams on autopilot. The drive goals are working if the other team is on autopilot.

As I showed on the video. Confidence works perfectly when playing with 32 offline teams.
