Don't Start Your Madden NFL 16 CFM Until New Patch Arrives, According to Developers

Re: Don't Start Your Madden NFL 16 CFM Until New Patch Arrives, According to Develope

This might be a dumb question, but it's hard to keep up with all the name changes they make year to year....

Do these issues affect the Franchise mode? is CFM just the online portion of franchise this year? Because before CFM was both online and offline....now they are back to Franchise for offline

I'm just confused on whether or not this affects the offline franchises...I'm guessing it does

This impacts all franchises. CFM is their name for franchise mode, both offline and online.

Here are just a few examples of people who don't seem to have a problem with this.

Context.


Not one of those quotes is someone saying this bug is okay.

Yeah.............

Did you actually read some of the posts you provided? The first one the guy says its unacceptable.

The second one acknowledges that all games need a patch.

The third one says they arent a good thing but he can adjust.

The fourth discuss the severity of the bugs.

Same with the 5th who goes on to discuss how its based on personal perspective when calling a bug "game killing"

The 6th is the guy discussing a work around.

Re: Kolbe says to WAIT to start your CFM

The problem with the draft thing is that the rookie ratings are generated at the start of the season (so you have something to scout). Thus it's going to affect everyone's first draft class even if you don't finish the season before the first patch releases. That's why he's saying to wait.

Damn. I didn't think of that. This whole thing is nonsense and should have been caught ahead of time.

OK, you asked me to provide examples of people saying they are OK with this bug...I guess it doesn't matter if they claim it's ok, BUT, they need to change it. Speaking of context, you didn't ask for me to provide examples of people saying it was fine the way it is, regardless of if it was fixed or not.

Either way, my intentions were not to provoke a debate about this, but rather that it should not be OK to release a product that doesn't work as intended, and then have the community defend it.

Re: Kolbe says to WAIT to start your CFM

The Encroachment one is driving me nuts in 2 games I have seen that happened like 9 times and great I didn't know about the QB thing and the re-signing thing so we have even more problems then I thought.

I believe IR works properly. Can someone confirm otherwise?

Yeah, no. I no where say I am "OK" with the bugs. I have said over and over again that all games have bugs. The severity of the bug is determined by the user it affects. With that being said, I would not say I am okay with bugs, however I am understanding of them and appreciate they development team acknowledging them and updating us when they can.

Whats worse? Consumers who know this is EA's way of doing business yet continues to purchase their products. We have a decade of data with these guys, its the same every year.

Thank God for this site, I was almost lured in, again. As customers, we need some accountability as well.

Bingo!!I I've leaned my lesson, Stop buying Madden since M13. Madden became a MUT/online game only. That's where all their full efforts are because that's where the $$$ is.

Come on people, it is so obvious, we been asking for offline features/presentation stuff since the Xbox360/PS3 days and we still get the same scraps for offline. But MUT, well, they keep adding and improving MUT. I'm done with Madden. Not buying anymore until I see major improvements but I doubt that will ever happen. So sad.

So, because all games have bugs, you are ok with the franchise mode not working and are content with waiting a month to play it? How many other products work in this way?

I don't think it's a lesson to be learned. I enjoy football, I enjoy watching it on Saturday's (Michigan!) and I enjoy it on Sundays. Because of this I have a high tolerance for games that may not be perfect but are fun to play. This is why, year in and out I purchase madden. Perhaps I am a sheep or maybe I am a huge fan of this dumb sport and am incapable of ever being athletic enough to play it, so I enjoy the video game aspect each year.

So all day yesterday theyre trying to shove it in people's faces about how good of reviews the game is getting and now come out and say this? What a joke! I'm pretty sure the last time a Madden game was released and didnt a patch to make the game fully playable was back on the PC! (Madden 2000) How can you release a game and then say well you might not want to play the biggest feature in our game until we get a patch out?! ...Never fails...

How much did they change MUT this year? And how much did they change CFM this year? MUT=0 Change, none whatsoever. While there was a list of things changed to CFM. Let me list it for you, combine results, new draft watchlist, ENTIRELY new scouting system, ability to give money to owners, reset confidence, drive goals. Here is what changed that the SIM community asked for. I'll bold them for you. 5 of the 7 things I listed there were things that the SIM community wanted that got added to CFM in this cycle.

I am not waiting a month to play it. You my friend have a choice to play it as is and enjoy it or wait a month or however long it takes for the issues to be resolved. These are choices you get to make, I choose to play the game as is and enjoy it for what it is, an imperfect game that is enjoyable.

Great cliche. All I am asking is that why is it OK for a product to be released without working the way it is intended to, meanwhile people are ok with it and apologizing for it?
