    We'll see. After these last few patched having "unintended" consequences my faith is quite low.

      A small thing they added with this Patch was adding more User skill move banners. So instead of just showing things like "User Pick", it now shows things like, "User Finesse Move", "User Truck", or "User Juke" when you successfully execute one of those moves.

      Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.

      Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

          I noticed this while playing and think it's redundant and that it adds unnecessary "noise" to the screen.

          I mean, if I'm on offense and I spin and succeed, don't I already know that it's a "user spin?" And if I am a rusher on defense and I conduct a successful rush move, don't I already know that it's a "user finesse move?"

          It's not a game-killer, but I'm wondering 1) How many people are confused enough about who is doing what in their game that they need a banner to confirm who did what re: user moves, or 2) How many people have small enough egos that they need them stroked by recognitions of every successful button press they perform?

          Other than that minor annoyance, my CFM game is playing out normally. I'm not seeing any immediate negatives in game play.

            You want EA to troubleshoot your specific problem? The freezing you're describing isn't common, and I suspect you have a corrupted file.

              The economics just don't seem to be there to push this in any other direction. CFM is an embarrassment as an immersive single player franchise mode, but its time to accept that this just isn't the goal of the mode.
              I want a lot of changes/improvements but I think Madden 17 is far from an "embarrassment," even in franchise mode.

                Is it superfluous? Yeah probably so, but it's not that intrusive IMO, and it's not really for us here. I do think that many players do like that little acknowledgement of pulling off successful moves in the game, especially casual players, IMO.

                  Just thought I'd chip in on the conversation. Most of you already know my opinion. I have been screaming about the punting since day one. Every now and then I still get the lock up and the lock out when playing my franchise using play of the moment. Actually it's the only way I play.

                  The punting is and has been my biggest issue. I can make other features that don't work well playable through adjusting sliders and changing player ratings. I have to live with simming the punts now but it takes so much out of the game. If I could I would take the time to move every team and build them a domed stadium just to fix it. But I can't.

                  One of the issues that is driving me crazy is something I can't fix and it is visual. Since the last patch I never get snow games. I loved playing in the snow. I loved seeing the footprints, the breath of the players. I just played a playoff game in Green Bay. The announcer said it was freezing cold. The sun was shining like I was in Miami; the crowd was in tee shirts. Other than visual, I can't honestly say if the weather would have an effect on the game. But it definitely took some of the enjoyment away from the game.

                  So for myself, fix the punting, the lockups, the QB scramble and Acc issue. Give us sliders that actually work and please, please return the snow or give us control of the weather and wind affects.

                  Do I think this will happen? NO, I honestly believed until they told us there was a fix for the punting issue and then they didn't deliver it a few months ago. And still haven't. Then total silence except for Mut and OL patches. Roadman believes there will be a big game patch in FEB. I hope he is right, but as for myself. I think the next patch will be M18. I have completely lost the faith. I donโ€™t have much choice though if I want to play a video FB game, this is my only option so I just have to play with the cards I have been dealt like everyone else.
                  When I do something right, No one ever remembers.

                    It also might be true only because they've made some really bad design choices with CFM since getting rid of Franchise. If "not as many people play it" is the reason to not put more resources into an actual Franchise mode then it's just going to keep spiraling down.

                      I started a lions franchise so at least half my games would be in domes even though I hate domed stadiums. Football is an outside game. I tell my kids everyday, don't run in the house.

                        To me it's not so much about what the focus was, but how little the update does - it seems barely worth announcing?

                          With you man. Madden 17 is a really good game, and the best football game made to date IMO. I am playing the crap out of it. It needs some more work no doubt, and we all want improvements. But the game is really, really solid, and franchise mode has been a lot of fun for the second straight year for me. I loved the improvements they made to franchise and game play and look forward to seeing it continue to evolve.

                          There are a lot of us who are singing the games praises and playing the hell out of it and at the same time giving good constructive feedback to the development team for further tuning and improvements.

                            We live in a age of instant social media.

                            If they didn't announce what the update was about, people would be climbing all over EA on Twitter and FB what does the update entail.

                            CleveClubby, I'm not saying there is a title update in February for the sake of saying it. I'm giving direct quotes on Twitter from Rex Dickson.

                            If you don't want me to relay that kind of info to OS, I'll gladly back off and not waste my time and let people find out the info on their own.

                              Funny you should mention that. Because for the longest time thats been the "reason" they dont put much as far as resources into CFM. Now since thats been the reason, i wonder what the reason will be next year. I recall an interview Rex did recently, and because he was wanting to make a point to "prove" CFM is much improved this year, he bragged about how much more activity they are seeing in CFM this year. I wish i could recall the % but i feel like it was an 80% increase of something.....So being it was a point to use to show how much they improved CFM..... shouldnt alot more resources go into CFM for 18 , since as stated before the reason they didnt was not enough were playing it ..... well now thats increased alot accroding to him so time to increase them funds......
                              Yup, i said it !

                                I obviously wasn't the only one saying it, but to hear Rex in an interview repeat almost verbatim something that I said to him in a Tweet, reaffirms my belief that despite his having to serve very diverse gameplay styles, and sometimes making tuning choices that are antithetical to what many of us here want, he is still our staunches ally with this game.
