Madden 20: "Coming Soon" List

[PhillyPhanatic14]

Let's make a list of all of the things that are "Coming Soon" but have never actually happened. I'm sure I'm forgetting some, but here's what I can think of...

• Mouthpieces
• Returner SS Ability
• All of the Abilities in the last patch that apparently are coming soon to CFM
• 5th Year Options (Twitch Stream & Blog)
• Fix for defensive coverage

This isn't even a list of things that are wrong with the game (like HDR looking like trash still, robo QB, etc.). This is solely a list of things that were said to be coming soon. We're days from November and I really didn't expect to still be waiting on this stuff this far into the game's cycle.

It's really too bad it's taking this long for cfm to get things they talked about in August. I was trying to get back into the game but at this point we're probably a month or more away from just the things in your list being added.

I enjoyed this year's Madden for what it was but am hugely disappointed by the way cfm has been left to rot.

Yeah i had a ton of fun in August and early Sept, but post-launch support... and honestly support since the beta... has really lacked this year. They know how to make the game better and what the community wants them to do, but they just don't seem to care about making it happen.

I wrote that beta post about Contracts that led them to promise the 5th yr option scenario in JUNE and another dude wrote a similar one last year in June in the beta feedback and they still haven't done a thing. And even if they add that 5th yr scenario like they said, it's just an ugly bandaid on a broken contract system that they continually ignore and say they don't have time to fix.

It's like at this point we can't even get the things they're promising so there's really no hope of innovation in things like a progressive injury system, coaching carousel, contract structure realism, immersive CFM, and all of the other things we'd love to see in CFM...

Weren’t holdouts and trade demands mentioned for the scenario engine? Not sure if it was said specifically for Madden 20 or it was just future plans at some point?

@Equipment_Guru confirmed on Twitter like a week ago that the Saints plain white pants will be patched in “soon.”

Add the "living League" scenarios they promised us in September to this list, because I don't consider the additional breakout scenarios they added "living league" scenarios. I feel like unless something changes that this could end up one of the most over-promised but under-delivered Maddens we've ever had.

There were a lot of examples of scenarios that they teased at in the news release part of the cycle of Madden 20 that I don’t know if they will ever make it in the game. At this point I’m starting to feel like they never planned on adding scenarios like holdouts or trade requests but still used them to get us hardcore franchise players excited. It really feels like we were sold a lie when it comes to this new feature. Below is a link to the game informer article where they interviewed Mike Young about the new scenario engine, especially read the paragraphs under the section “Introducing the Scenario Engine”:

I really feel they over promised on scenario engine. I don't think they even know how to deliver what was initially promised. Especially with scenarios only applying to users and not the cpu. As per usual there is just so much that is underdeveloped and or broken in this game to make cfm something that can be played more than a couple seasons at most before boredom sinks in.

It kills me, I feel like this years game had so much potential and the ideas the sold us were really good. Just like the new QB1 mode, I was actually really excited for it. But then when Madden releases go figure the mode ends up being one of the most half a** modes I've seen. Maybe one day we will actually get a game that actually delivers on everything they say but my hope dwindles with each release.

Re: Madden 20: "Coming Soon" List

And this is one of the major reasons why I have not really touched this game outside of it's first week out. I know I got some questions when I said the gameplay was the best it has been in some time(outside of the coverage issues), but that the lack of attention to anything else not named MUT makes this game a 6.5 at the very best. I don't even know if I would rate it that high anymore. CFM remains so lackluster, every promised addition that isn't geared towards MUT has practically still not been added. More things have been removed from the game since release than added if you don't include MUT.

I hate to say it, but everyone should have seen this coming. We all know that CFM is not a priority and we all know that that wasn't going to change. EA is going to continue to cater this game towards the MUT crowd. They are going to continue to completely ignore communities like OS. It is what it is at this point. They don't strive to make an actually authentic football experience and they don't even hide that fact anymore.

Guys relax, mid September is right around the corner...

Re: Madden 20: "Coming Soon" List

I would expect that going forward they're going to do away with all non MUT related road maps again. The cash cow basically gets hourly updates pertaining to that mode, but there is essentially an information blackout now about CFM especially as it relates to User vs CPU play.

Re: Madden 20: "Coming Soon" List

I still really like the game. It's the best Madden to date. It's just annoying that franchise mode is not that engaging. Why can't they add the abilty to do a 32 team user controlled option. I just don't Andrew Luck being signed by the Broncos week 1

Re: Madden 20: "Coming Soon" List

Great post sir!

I also stopped playing due to lack of CFM attention.
When I saw the return specialist ability, I was looking forward to scouring the free agency or UDFA to sign that spark returner.

I don't even see the point in starting a CFM anymore, because I'd most likely have to restart it to get the jew abilities anyway.

I feel like by the time the new abilities are added to cfm it's just going to be too little too late.
