    M19 CFM - Good Vibes Only

    Thread Purpose: To focus on the positives of Madden 19 CFM. I know there is probably a pile of “Wish List” items and bugs that everyone would like to discuss (or is already discussing in another thread), but I wanted to spend some time talking about how awesome CFM is in Madden 19.

    Background: I got to spend 10 hours in the PC version of the game through Origin Access and I thoroughly enjoyed what I experienced. I immediately jumped into multiple CFM’s to get exposed to all the new features it offered. I simmed through some seasons with teams like the Falcons, Browns, Eagles, and Giants and got to see firsthand how the Scheme Fits and Skill Points systems worked. I give EA an A+ for these changes compared to Madden 18 and Madden 17 as they make the training and progression process less time consuming, more realistic (to an extent), and in my opinion, kind of exciting!
    As for overall presentation in CFM, I am a big fan of the new halftime shows and the snapshots. These features are a huge leap forward toward total immersion within my CFM. Seeing other teams’ scores and stats at halftime, while also seeing some highlights from my own game really add to the experience. The CFM commentary is also improved with intros and dialogue that make it feel like YOUR game with YOUR team and not just another CFM game. The Draft Stage is also impressive and makes the whole draft experience a bit more exciting whereas it felt more like a chore with no excitement in Madden 18.
    Lastly, although I have yet to try any out, I am pumped to start trying out some custom draft classes. The Madden CFM community is going to do wonders with custom draft classes and I can’t wait to see it.

    The Ask: I ask that we keep focusing on the positive. Tell me something awesome that happened in your CFM that really made it feel real for you. We have other means of channeling our frustrations so let’s take a moment and share “WOW” moments with each other so that we have a reason to dive back into our CFM in hopes of experiencing the same or similar moment.

    Re: M19 CFM - Good Vibes Only

    I love posts like this. I will start off by saying that last weekend my family and I moved into our new home which meant I now have a man cave. The first 2 items purchased...a new 4k hdr tv and xbox one x. Needless to say when I put Madden 19 in I was floord by the way it looked. I haven't had a chance to dive into CFM because ive been really busy. But i have played a couple of online games. The RPM makes the game totally different and takes some getting used to but i love it. There aren't any unrealistic cutting that I have seen. The WR/DB interactions are ridiculous. I plan on spending way more time tonight and tomorrow before I return to work Wednesday off of my vacation. Ill report back soon.

        Congrats on the move! As someone who has moved quite often the past couple of years I can sincerely say that I hope it all went well. Definitely looking forward to your "WOW" moments in Madden 19.

        As someone who obsesses over progression and tracking ratings I think one of my first "WOW" moments was with Skill Points. It made progression so much easier. Also, the different player archetypes are there just to guide how to progress your player. I had a WR that had poor deep route running so I focused on Deep Threat for a few points and it helped boost that stat. If people remember to use it as a guide and not let their Scheme Fit rule them they will see how great this new system is.

          I appreciate the feedback. Make sure to tell us about your "WOW" moment when you are able to get your hands on the game and experience it for yourself. I view this like easter eggs or side quests in Bethesda games. Tell me about something that makes me want to turn the game on and experience it for myself. Looking forward to hearing about everyone's experiences.

            I'm awaiting delivery on Friday, but I can say from what I've seen/tried I really enjoy a few changes.

            I love the new progression system. It's great that it kind of disperses the points for you, as it prevents you from cheating the system. I like that they matter for your scheme fit too.

            Which, speaking of, I like the scheme fit idea. It's a great addition to allow you to find guys that "fit" your system. Sure, you can argue it doesn't "really" matter. If you play true to your playbook and such, it does have an impact. It allows for a bit more variety and strategy.

            I like the new positions too. I can pick and choose what receiver is best suited for the slot. Sure, typically it just goes down the list, but I like it. I'm always for anything that adds depth.

            I can't wait to get the game in at the end of the week/next week and get some games in.

              Re: M19 CFM - Good Vibes Only

              I like the new presentation that was included during pregame...seeing the 3D-ish Logos of the teams, and seeing the Helmets for primetime games, gives it a kind of old school Monday Night Football feel. When people say "presentation looks exactly like M18!", I say "did you see that die-cut helmet in the open?" lol

              I also appreciate that there are a few different "scenes" of your QB when they run on the field...I've seen Jimmy G roll out to throw, I've seen him taking a snap, and even showboat a little. It's not the same thing over & over, it's a neat little touch.

              Awesome thread idea!

                I won't get to play until tomorrow but I was really curious about CFM for us solo guys. Thanks for starting the thread.

                    I’ll be starting up a CFM tonight when I get the game. I’ll post here if I get inspired to do so. Looking forward to staying up till the wee hours of the morning playing Madden.

                      I completely agree. I got the same impression like Monday Night Football. I played the season opener as the Falcons against the Eagles in CFM and the opening sequence was phenomenal.

                        I know we probably don't know the answer to this as most online CFM franchise won't start until late this week. But does multiple player online CFM have the same presentation and halftime show as offline CFM? I'm in a 32 user online CFM and that would be cool if we get the same presentation as offline

                          I looking forward to this years Madden more than any i can remember honestly. Ive always been a Madden fan, and its been a day 1 purchase for me for as long as I can remember. This year however has me stoked! The addition of the player archetypes, scheme fit, and specialty positions gives a lot more realism for the CFM.


                          I'm a CFM guy...i dont mind MUT, but i dont mess with it. Im enjoying the fact that EA has finally spent some time addressing CFM and everything looks to be for the better.

                            I would assume it does if you're playing the CPU in an online CFM. But if you're in a 32 man one I'm pretty sure it doesn't because the game is streamlined to avoid potential crashes/lost connections.

                              Yeah, they absolutely got the ‘qb intro’ correct, imo. The video clips they were showing the last few years were nice, but they were repetitive and didn’t include generated players. It’s just a nice, quick animated look at your qb. And, I’ve already seen some variety (not sure how many different things we’ll see, but nice to see they added some variety).

                              When I first heard about the 3D helmet graphics and whatnot, I didn’t think/care much about it. But, after seeing them, I love them and think they did a great job with them. So, again, I have to say, ‘good job, madden team.’

                              The snapshots from actual games are a nice touch. And, just seeing the coach in his office is a nice touch as well. Some may complain, ‘this isn’t enough’ or whatnot, but, honestly, it’s a step in the right direction, and I have to say, I don’t see any major blunders in the CFM presentation, anyways. Lol. So, that’s def a good thing. Again, while some may complain it’s not enough, at least they didn’t completely overhaul something in a negative fashion.

                              Even the archetypes, I think, are a good idea as well. Is this the best formula for progression? Idk, but I like the randomization of it. I have actually paid less attention to progression in the past few years and just let the cpu upgrade for me to sort of provide that randomization. I think I’ll do a mix of that, actually, now with the archetypes. I think, honestly, I got tired of looking at every single attribute and deciding what I wanted to do. But, with the archetypes, u can easily and quickly say, ‘I want to continue with my scheme fit’ or u can say, ‘he’s strong with the scheme fit, we should upgrade something else.’ And, u don’t have to go all the way down to individual traits. So, again, I think this was a good idea. And, allows for quick decisions, and/or, again, I can just let the cpu upgrade for me if I want all out randomization.
