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

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?

No one is ok with it, nor is anyone apologizing for it. Clearly given this statement and your previous post giving "examples", you're confused.

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'm not sure where the breakdown is here.

No one is saying they are okay with it but many have said why it either doesn't affect them immediately or the wait is okay for one reason or another.

If you are one who starts your franchise day one and want to be mad about it no one is telling you you can't.

You should probably read the whole thread. There are plenty of people saying it doesn't bother them and they are ok waiting for a fix. Is this so hard to understand? I am not bashing anyone who is content with the way it is, rather I am just bringing to attention that to ME, it is a hard thing to look past and unacceptable, in my opinion.

I'm not OK with it and I'm apologizing for it. I will just keep working my mock franchise just to get the hang of the new things, which for me is practically everything as I skipped 15. So I need to learn about all the game prep ****, as well as the new stuff added this year including the scouting and watchlist.

Fair enough, my intentions aren't to debate, but there are plenty of people giving excuses for this mode being broken, when I personally don't feel it should have made it passed testing.

Where? You clearly couldn't provide examples previously. I have yet to see anyone say this is ok.

I for one said the draft issue doesn't affect me personally, as I don't play multiple year CFM's but play multiple single season CFM's with different teams. But I also said it's a major downer for those who play multi season CFM's.

If posts like those are people saying this is acceptable to you, I don't know what to tell you other than quite simply you're wrong.

May I ask, have you ever been involved with software testing? Then add in a hard release date and keep in mind that you need 60-90 days (estimate) of time before release to have a version that would be considered GA? Some of these bugs probably were discovered during testing but they aren't going to delay a game for bugs that don't prevent the game from being played. I think it's really that simple.

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

To me most of these bugs are not even football related bugs, it's all this RPG nonsenses I like to control all 32 teams and play every single game on offence and control all the stats, (even though CFM make this extremely hard to do the last 4 years) I think it was madden 12 or 13 I slipped when we had n 32 team control


I couldn't care less about XP it's a football game, it's a sport game not world of Warcraft!


the only concern I have is the IR bug as that's is a football real life thing, and that isn't 100% confirmed it seems.

I suppose you need someone to say it cut and clear in order to understand.

Re: Kolbe says to WAIT to start your CFM

From what I can tell from threads here and on Twitter these are some issues that they acknowledged:

Gameplay
- Tuning update for Aggressive catches being overpowered
- A fix for random Encroachment Penalties

CFM
- Ratings boost from drive goals with some players having ratings of 100+
- Regression not working properly (mainly from o-lineman)
- Rookies not adjusted to current roster (mainly inflated speed and deep accuracy)
- Re-signing contracts being off... someone on Twitter claimed that Dez Bryant signed a 5 year deal for 2 mil/year.
- Placing a player on IR no longer opens up a roster spot
- QB's getting 15+ carries a game while simming

Other
- Custom playbooks not working online

There are a lot more bugs than this (see the Bugs & Glitches thread). I seriously hope there are a lot more fixes than this. I'll be extremely disappointed if this is all they patch.

While im glad they are fixing these problems the one question that comes to mind is how in the world did they let problems like this slip through? Most if not all of these problems are picked up on just by playing the game. Shouldve eventually been able to spot them through testing/playing before release. Like did nobody do any Q/A?

I'm not asking for a perfect game. I am asking for a game that plays as intended, without bugs that make half of the team 100+ in their ratings.

Re: Kolbe says to WAIT to start your CFM

They do but that isnt a guarantee to catch a bug. There are plenty of people here who played CFM all last week and didnt realize their were any major issues with CFM.

That's not entirely true.. Both the rookie draft class issue as well as the issue with drive goals were found the first day of early access.. Look at the threads, both were created on the 20th.. The Left tackle regression was found only a few days after..

The fact is, the Q&A team didn't do their job.

TBH some of them you wouldn't notice without looking for them. I, personally, wouldn't have known about the drive goals bug if I hadn't seen it on here. And possibly the same with the OL regression bug. I don't look at my depth chart during games because I do it in between games based on performance, injuries, etc.
