So CFM usage went up 100% huh? Ok so that should mean it gets more funding for 18, should it not ?I mean after all, its all about where they see people using the game. Going up 100% is a large amount if you consider how many every year was already playing it. Although, while he acts like people were really satisfied with it this year( because they put most resources in it ever) , they didnt really add any more this year than past 3 years either.If you look at what people actually say about CFM,there is a TON that needs to be done to it for alot to actually be satisfied But id note, since they wanted to hype last year they put most resources in to cfm than ever and saw its usage go up 100%, even the business side would have to say lets put even more in this year, but do i believe that happened? Not at all.
I find the last part of the first quote above odd. Why is is that CFM having more people use it and play it longer upset the competitive crowd? i mean that literally does not make any sense at all.
This sentence makes it sound as if , Madden 18 is more about competitive focus than anything else, include in that he has said Madden 18 is the year of the user, and i can not help but feel like , they added a simulation mode that is just what we have already been playing......If there was only a real focus on competitive and he thinks madden is great Simulation football now.... well, this boat is sinking fast for the sim crowd then. Its like we just got someone to toss us a life preserver out in middle of ocean, only to find out ,it has a huge hole in it ....
Pretty sure this is the 3 vs 3 MUT team comp he is talking about here, they even hinted more about it late yesterday.
Yeah to act as if they have only been focusing on Simulation football for past 3 years and that is what they have produced, is kinda a joke right? I mean last two years in particular, starting with very first patch they have done nothing but water the game down.After 16 Rex claimed they wasnt going to do that to 17 , yet thats just what they did.But making it sound like by trying to only please sim crowd last 3 years man, its statements like this that at times makes it hard to believe some things he says.Majority ive talked to , do not at all feel like sim has been a focus for last 3 years.
Hopefully making the 3 separate modes is a good thing, and they can still put a focus on sim gameplay. You would think, with Rex claiming for so long that is what he is about , that would always reign true, but it sure does sound and feel like, he is starting to be swayed by those suits to see things in a different light now.Hope not ,but if so , these may be the last few years i can purchase madden if that alone becomes their main focus.
