I'm exclusively a CFM offline player, so for me, the game needs to:
- deepen the offseason
- overhaul scouting
- VASTLY improve CPU team management AI
- RFA's, UDFA's would be nice
- revamp progression so practicing doesn't completely ruin competitive balance versus other teams
- make practices less deadly boring
If all they hit is #6 on my list then CFM is really close to a port from last year. Even if the gameplay is vastly improved, a negelcted CFM would make this a rental for me at best.
Last year I went for the Amazon preorder on last gen with the $10 trade in option for CG. That was a mistake. I played some last gen, was pretty bored, and eventually got around to trying CG and was even more bored.
This year EA doesn't get my money until the product is out and we know everything about it. Then we'll see.
