Your thoughts on the new Playoff Bracket

[Madden09operationFan]

Just curious on how everyone feels about Madden's Playoff Bracket. I think it's a nice addition (ANY addition is welcome), however, I'd much prefer if they did it just like you see on Sunday during NFL games. Three columns: the left column is division leaders (with w-l records) in order of their seeding, the middle are current wild card teams, the right column is for "in the hunt" teams still in contention.
My season has just ended and I just missed the playoffs due to a tiebreaker. Throughout the final weeks of the season, the playoff bracket didn't help me much at all. I still needed to scroll through all the conference divisions in order to figure out what I was up against. It was nice to see the playoff bracket and see who would be playing against who, but it just creates an extra step for teams not in yet. The three column approach would give you nearly all the info you need.

They show the 3 column approach during franchise games each week as you progress in the season.

I really like the new playoff bracket as it was sorely needed.

I hope they go a step further and have a playoff scenario screen like you mention. No reason to think with effort that can’t be implemented.

There are a list of things we all want. Hopefully they will truly give CFM the focus it deserves for 2021.

Lol feel like a broken record the last 15 years.

It’s a nice touch, but it definitely should not have been touted as some great pillar of Franchise improvement.

I never see this. I am usually skipping cut scenes unfortunately as I get tired of seeing player celebrating after every 3rd play. I don't mean to skip it but I usually have held the button too long when I hear them say "let's take a look at the standings" or
"lets take a look at the playoff picture" and I just see the playcall screen. Maybe I need to slow down a little and let things play out more but it sure would be nice if we could look at it on our own...or even have it be displayed after the intro and before the kickoff. I don't know. Somewhere.
