the CPU doesn't progress players based on scheme

[TheDominator273]

It's frustrating but at least the progression can be fixed by 32 team control in offline CFM and you can manually progress players according to scheme at specific points in the season.

The bigger issue to me is that teams don't attempt to build to their scheme as it's far more tedious to handle that side of things for CPU teams.

I'm not saying the progression isn't a big deal and doesn't need to be fixed because it does for sure need tuning.

Maybe this is something to bring to the attention of the devs. Legitimate non gameplay issue for CFM.

Another issue is CPU drafting and free agent logic. I saw the cowboys sign L. Bell in 2019 free agency. CFM is largely unchanged.

In my test sim they bills signed Leveon bell and Lamar Miller.. They also kept Lesean mccoy

Why do I feel like I remember Clint specifically saying in an interview that teams were progressing, drafting and using Free Agency to fit their schemes that they're running....

I know I remember that cause I was finally excited cause it was needed.

I don’t remember but perhaps we should Tweet him to show that it is not working properly. I have already but no response.

It was Ben Haumiller's Franchise interview. Unreal.

Might be a bug then. Isn’t there a patch coming on the official release date, this Friday? Might be a stretch and wishful thinking but maybe just maybe they have already noticed and a fix will be in. Probably not that soon but we can hope.

I don’t see why he would lie. Surely he realized that their would be people who would catch it and call it out later on. Surely he also realizes that it’s typically not a good idea to lie to your customers.

OP, thanks for saving me the $60+ I would have spent.

I said I wouldn't buy this game a few weeks ago, but was encouraged enough from the trial to make the purchase. But if I still have to handicap myself in CFM, just so I can have a challenge, then there's no point in investing anymore time or money into Madden.

In regards to Bell signing with the Cowboys...

I can't tell you how many draft picks I sacrificed in past Madden's to sign FA's away from other teams after they signed them, just to trade them to a team where they can be used correctly, or better fit. Just because there's no logical reasoning or chance in hell Bell would sign with Dallas. It would drive me nuts.

At least implement a 'Force Trade' option in the game for these scenarios. So I don't have to give Dallas my 1st and 2nd for Bell, so I can put him on a team where he would be the feature back making big $$$, instead of being a back-up RB to Zeke, making big $$$.
