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.
