Every Madden game we've had on the PS4 is going to prevent me from buying M19.
I've helped run a 32 man CFM for 5 years straight. Every year I expect good things from Madden because I really enjoy playing sim games vs friends. But this will be my last Madden ever until they redo CFM and the gameplay.
The game is bad on All pro and All Madden, sim and competitive modes.
H2H, CFM, & MUT games are zero fun because the gameplay is so bad in M18.

This is the 1st year I've ever had any trouble keeping 32 owners in the CFM league. I'm dropping out myself. This game isn't fun or anywhere close to realistic. I played through enough of the last big update and the gameplay still is awful.

What to fix on M19:

Running moves (overpowered)
Blocking (feels like Tecmo Bowl where guys are locked up on most plays)
Defensive AI flaws (guys stopping on plays or not even attempting tackles)
Animations (there are far too many instances where animations determine the outcome)
QB throw aways/sacks (There should be more errant throws instead of the QB always tucking the ball and taking a sack after completing the full throwing motion)

Hopefully for all of you they greatly improve M19.
As a person who has only skipped 2 versions of Madden over the past 25 years .... I'm officially done. They've continued to ignore the CFM community for too many years. They tried to update a little this year and still failed to make a fun game. Peace out Madden.
