What are you doing to add longevity to the game?

[JimmyT85]

I'm currently into my third season with the Browns in CFM, having won the Superbowl last season. After the draft, I tend to find myself becoming quite bored with CFM. Mainly, because I don't feel like the game warrants any challenge, and becomes stagnant.

I've tried altering sliders etc, but still don't find the game enjoyable most of the time, as it feels repetitive etc

Was just wondering what other people do to add longevity to their game, and make them want to keep going back for more?

This is s typical issue with any sports game (except I feel NCAA games...and The Show has improved). After running through a year or two there is nothing new to offer.

In all reality though, if you won in the 2nd year with the Browns then your most likely thing is to try a more difficult setup...if you truly set up a challenge instead of a setup where the Browns win a super bowl on one year...then you'll probably get a longer lasting experience.

Yeah once you've climbed the mountain like that what else is there to do?

To me the key is to be emotionally invested in my squad. I find it the same with Football Manager, Blood Bowl, Madden, anywhere where you're squad building. The games where it clicks and you start to feel a connection for the squad are the ones I keep going through no matter how many times I win.

I just started the second season of my Titans CFM. I made the Conference Championship in the first year despite really being a transition season, trading out old players for draft picks and the like so I'd expect to win this season or next but I want to see how my draftees get on and how they develop.

This is something I will definitely look at. However, with the user QB Acc slider being as rubbish at it is, it feels like it's too easy to pass against the CPU

a cfm website would go a long way.

I find random fantasy drafts fun. You have to adapt your play style to the players CPU has selected.

Also, downloading legend rosters could be fun. Last year I downloaded one with a tone of greats. It was fun drafting a team with Ladanian Tomlinson, Lorenzo Neal, Shawne Merriman, etc.

A user cam is definitely needed..a new perspective equals a new game.. I don't know what we have to do to drill this in EA's head

Yea I agree with Datninja, a fantasy draft is nice to mix it up a little bit. Or perhaps joining an online CFM vs others users. I am in one where we did a fantasy draft with 32 users (yes it takes literally ALL DAY to draft) but its interesting to see how other people draft and keeps the game interesting for months.
