Make Madden Fun Again.

[BradyBunch88]

Hey Guys,

It’s been 3 or 4 months since I last played Madden 25.

I played it loads, pretty much every night for a few weeks and then I got bored of it. It’s just the same thing over and over again, go through an entire season, win the super bowl, free agency, draft, do the same all over again. I play on Jarodd21's All Madden sliders.

The draft is my favourite part, drafting young guys and watching them progress.

But it’s so boring and repetitive! I’m talking offline CCM mode.

Does anyone have any tips on how to make offline CCM more fun?

Make yourself some house rules. Many have had great times playing limiting yourself as you play.

Buy APF 2K8.... Play it until you hallucinate that it is NFL 2K14.

Unless you're in an online CFM, you're probably going to keep running into a wall there.

Man, you guys are downers. We have someone that actually wants to give it another shot and all you can bring to the table is negativity?

Dig deep and find one thing, just one, that makes madden fun and let him know.

I dont understand OPs question. Is it boring BECAUSE its too easy for you? Simple solution:

Offense: Only choose between the plays "Ask Madden" lets you choose from. No more cheese, automatic plays you would normally call.

Defense: Only control ONE player on defense. This makes it even more of a challenge when going through free agency and drafting because if you don't allow yourself to switch over to a defender then the people you're not playing with need to be better at tackling/awareness/man coverage ect...

Free Agency: If you're like me, you can build a 53 man roster with 25 of those guys rated 82+ and still have $20m in cap room. Well make a rule that your CAP NUMBER is $15m-20m below everyone else.

Draft: I've noticed its too easy to go through a season stocking up on Scouting points and before the draft, you can get the overall's for most of the guys that fit your system/needs in the first and second rounds. So, let's trade your first round pick every year for a 7th to the WORST team the previous year. Help the worst team become better and help make it harder for you to draft a player to develop.

Player Progression: Don't cheese with this. Don't practice, Don't earn XP points to boost your players other then their God (EA Sports) given abilities. If a player comes out of college with a 68 in speed... in real life theres no way he'll EVER reach a 85 speed. Goes the same with man coverage, zone coverage... everything.

Just control yourself and limit your resources. Ive got the sliders and my skill set managed so each game is competitive. There are some teams easier then others and some I just can't seem to outplay...but all in all its fun and competitve games.

I like to use 32 team control to make insane stacked teams and then battle for the title with them. Like Manning and Bryant on one team and Russell Wilson and AP on another and Brady and Marshall on another.

I think the bold print kind of defines your situation. You want this game to be fun and exciting for you and it's just not. That's pretty much just your reality.....I don't think there's much anyone can do to somehow make it enjoyable for you.
