Last year with DPP and cut days and other features plus this year with CCM and additional features is making franchise a hell of a mode. I am an offline franchise player (J-E-T-S) so I like the direction they are going. I thought the gameplan + custom playbook feature last year had big potential for offline gamers allowing us to potentially create/rate playbooks for CPU teams and solve a few of the AI playcalling blunders so not having that this year is a bit of a setback still I like what they have done and am not expecting perfection I understand CCM was built from the ground up so I understand why some features had to be 'removed'.
The problem I have that takes away from the immersion of the game is the CPU AI Logic. Play calling but mostly actual ingame decision making. CPU RBs running directly into defensive players, CPU QBs throwing into triple/double coverage (all of them including brady awareness and ratings dont seem to make a difference). Seeing these things happen really kills the immersion for me its very easy to tell from videos who the human and who the CPU controlled teams just watching the players. They are adding all these great franchise features but the ingame CPU logic seems to never be upgraded. It also doesnt appear to matter if you play Rookie All Pro or All madden its the same logic the only thing that changes is what is in the sliders such as CPU accuracy, WR catching or RB break tackles etc. No matter what sliders or settings the CPU still plays with its hands behind its back and eyes closed. To me this is the most overlooked area of the game that I rarely hear people mention and bothers me the most.
I will still get Madden 13 since football is my favorite sport and its a good reason to justify having my 360 but I would really like this area to be worked on what do you guys think? I just watched all these bonehead decisions being made in a retail M13 video so decided to post and hope someone could maybe talk me down from the ledge and tell me im overreacting or its not as bad.
