Re: Hows your CFM going? Madden 16 Edition

So far my Eagles are 9-5 with 2 games left, vs the Redskins and Giants. Im leading the NFC East by 1 game over Dallas. I've had bad QB play most of the year. Bradford has been mediocre (when not injured) and Sanchez was just as bad. Definitely gonna be looking to upgrade QB in the draft. Demarco Murray has carried the load all season he is over 2000 yards rushing and very close to breaking the record for single season rush yards.

Whenever I am playing my CFM its live streaming at www.twitch.tv/cookybots be sure to follow the stream if you don't want to miss any of the action! I'll be streaming this afternoon around 3pm to 11pm as I finish out the regular season and try to make a playoff run.

Currently half way through season 1 of my Titans CFM on YouTube. Although we actually have a chance of making the playoffs. I have quickly realized that we need a upgrade at RB this offseason. I benched Bishop Sankey after game 2 and David Cobb has been average at best.

Just started mine with the Jets. Just got through the first week of preseason. Petty played well the first preseason game throwing for 3 TDs (with Geno out Petty played pretty 3 quarters). I made my cuts and signed Matt Flynn as a camp arm. TJ Graham was very productive in the first preseason game and may move up the depth chart. I may move Kerley if Graham, Owusu, Shaq Evans, Devin Smith etc. can be productive in the preseason. Should be a fun battle. I'm going to keep Geno out for the preseason and first couple of games because it adds a sort of interesting element.

I'm waiting until there is either a roster and sliders combo to offset the draft issues or Madden patches it.

I'm going to play with the Patriots. I'll mess around with CCM but won't start it until 53 man roster update is out. Until then I'll just play games and get used to the game, find good settings so that I get realistic stats so I'm not messing around with all of that stuff when I start my CCM. I figure I have one year with Brady before he retires. Means I'll have to start Jimmy G xp upgrades ASAP!

It is now really difficult to train a low rated rookie to be star status. The XP system has been ridiculously overhauled to the point the max XP you can expect a week from game prep is about 350 compared to around 5,000 (spending all hours on one guy)
Annually after an MVP season you'll earn about 6,000 total compared to 100,000.

Why such a drastic change? I don't like it at all.

To level up a rookie from Average - Superstar development it will take every hour and every XP point for 2-4 seasons.

Also for those like me excited to be the Vikings in the new stadium you will be disappointed. For some reason the Vikings horn did not get put in. It's not the Vikes without the horn! Come on EA!

Not trying to bring this tread off topic but I think I saw somewhere that the XP system can be turned off. And there is a global progression/recession thing going on.

Anyone care to chime in on this, never been a fan of the XP system.

This actually makes me really happy. It was annoying watching people turn Manziel into Aaron Rodgers with 99 speed after 1 season.

The point of XP was giving us control of our players development. Also to allow for natural breakout players. If you drafted a 5th round RB last year rated 70 and then ran for 2,000 yards you could have him rated where a 90+ where a 2,000 RB should be. Now you will be lucky to see him go to a 75 after the same type of season.

Maybe EA should have XP sliders for leagues. It's just such a huge change from last year. It almost makes game prep pointless.

If you can rush for 2,000 yards with a rated 70 RB then keep him rated at 70, won't be as big a hit on your cap come contract negotiations ..

Re: Hows your CFM going? Madden 16 Edition

Don't know where to post this because two threads have been deleted regarding CFM in game confidence/hot streak...

Rex the dev tweeted that they are aware and working on the bug, and it's set to be fixed in the post launch patch (which I believe is usually 4-6 weeks post launch).

So for those who are playing CFM, are games still fun? Are the hot streaks really noticeable? (Hence - "how is your CFM going" )

I hated this about last years game too.
