    Well that is disappointing. Wondering what they have added to CFM then.

      Can I interest you in XP goals expanded now for Practice Mode? :P

      Seriously though, this is a big blow to ANY CFM wish list out there; I reckon this is a top 3 most requested feature for a long time now so it will be interesting to see EA's version of listening to the community:/

        The way he worded this makes me think they are trying to get it in through a patch or something.

          Correct, seemed that way. And coming from Clint, you have to believe they are trying
          What is puzzling is: They always use the reasoning (excuse) of the old code as a limitation to not adding new stuff... Well, this is something that was actually included in the old, formation subs where in Madden for a long time! How come it is so hard to include in the game then?

            Waiting on a reply, I just tweeted him asking what the biggest issue they face with it is.

              Then what the heck is being done on CFM?

              That just sucks man, top of my wishlist. No man assignments and no formation subs. Knife to the heart and then the twist haha

                Sorry to go off topic but is anyone else having trouble posting and being able to like a post? The only way for me to post is by quoting someone first.

                  Bummer. The "not at launch" verbiage gives hope for a new feature in a title update, but I'm not holding my breath just yet.

                  That said - do people consider formation substitutions a Connected Franchise feature? I don't. Should formation subs return to the game, I want to have access to that functionality in all modes, not just CFM. I imagine that's part of the challenge on their end.

                    Yep, this is a tough one to take. Definitely takes some of the shine off of my expectations for CFM.

                      Good call, CM. I def can see them being used in MUT and Draft Champions. I associate it with franchise mode because that's where it really stood out in past Maddens. I can see how trying to apply to more than one mode could cause some problems. It just sucks because this has been on the top of a lot of people's wishlists for years.

                      Oh well, I don't choose what works and what doesn't, I just play the game. This sucks, but the gameplay news thus far is really promising.

                        Same here. I was feeling pretty good that custom draft classes and formation subs would make it in since this seems to be THE year for big improvements.

                        Subs are a tough one to take, and now I am worried that custom classes will not make it either.

                          It should be available for all modes of course, but I feel like it's something that is mostly used by people who play CFM. I could be wrong but it doesn't seem to me to be something that most Play Now, MUT, or DC users would really care about.

                            not surprised it didn't make it. looks like another year of waiting for a real football game for me.

                              Personally I see formation subs as being very valuable to high-level players in Salary Cap Ranked and Draft Champions where there is challenge in roster construction, similar to Franchise mode.

                              I see it as something that everyone will want to use and shouldn't be walled off to one mode.
