Madden NFL 25 CFM Q/A

Most importantly, does it feel like real life stats and such (outside of god's amazing year)? Ive got more, but I'd rather not fill up all your time.

Not sure how position battles between the AI are decided. There's no specific screen for them like on last gen Madden.

This is just a small example but, I know Reggie Bush had a good season , rushing for over 1000 yards and receiving for quite a few. His overall is now up to an 88. I don't think it was that high to start off with.

Injuries are very well done when simming, nothing too crazy. But, when playing games your skill players are injured a TON. Definitely need to tweak that injury slider.

The stats seem realistic to me, we finally have more than 1-2 QBs passing for more than 4000 yards, etc.

I'm doing the draft now, so i'll answer your rookie FA question in a sec.

According to the Spreadsheet, Gore was 93, SJax 89, DeAngelo 82, Sproles 87.

I feel like everyone should've gone down as Gore did. How in the F did Sproles go up?

Did you attempt to do this in appropriate stage of the off-season?

Free Agency has come and gone. After retirements and what not, these are the big name signings that happened.

Josh Freeman: Denver Broncos (Literally the only big name QB available, Broncos signed him to replace the retiring Peyton Manning)

Darren McFadden: Denver Broncos (They had no good HBs on the roster, this is a good signing for them. He's now down to 81 OVR btw)

Felix Jones: Pittsburgh Steelers

Rashard Mendenhall: NY Giants

Johnathan Dwyer: NY Jets

Peyton Hillis: Cardinals

Devin Hester: Redskins

Hakeem Nicks: Redskins

Josh Cribbs: Browns (Now an 89 OVR )

Andre Robertrs: NY Giants (Now an 85 OVR)

Emmanuel Sanders: Packers (85 OVR)

Greg Tate: Raiders (85 OVR)

Mario Manningham: Ravens

Eric Decker: Colts

Braylon Edwards: Patriots

Brandon Spikes: NY Jets

Jairus Byrd: Redskins

Kerry Rhodes: Jaguars

Those are just some of the bigger FA moves. I noticed a lot of guys who had decent years really got a boost in OVR. Not too shabby on that front. Doing the draft now.

I'm almost sure of the answer but can you put me out of my mystery and let me know if CPU vs CPU is an option?

Sproles had a pretty good year, 1,141 yards rushing, 7 TDs on the ground to go with 42 catches and a TD.

I'm just assuming his goals were easier to get than the other elite guys. I gurantee he won't be in the 90s after the end of the second season

I'm pretty sure a 30 year old RB should never improve. This is not good news.

Good sign when it comes to the draft guys, Oakland had the first pick, and after a terrible year at the QB postion they took Clemson QB Tahj Boyd, the number 1 ranked QB prospect in the class. Simulating the rest of the first round to see how it turns out
