Origin Premier, Updates, and CFM

[BadAssHskr]

I am one who purchased Origin Premier only to get M19 early.
A couple weeks later, I decided to just purchase the game itself, as I don’t know if i plan on keeping Premier.

When i launch Madden it also launches premier, which got me thinking. Does the Ea team continuously update the game via the premier service? And under the assumption that they do, is it right to assume, like an online franchise, we receive updata on a quicker more timely fashion?

My question is, and maybe there is no answer, but since premier is running the game, would it any longer matter if you chose to run an online cdm vs. offline at this point?

Re: Origin Premier, Updates, and CFM

on Console the main reasons to run Online vs Offline came down faster simming Online as it uses a cloud server environment you get much more processing power when simming Online CFM. This is still true in the PC game as well. I have a Intel Core i9-7900X overclocked and the Online still simms faster than offline.

The other reason was that the Online CFM used to get some fixes before offline because EA was able to push stuff to their online CFM faster as they owned that system and didn't have to go through Microsoft XBox QA and release process first like game patches. So this always left the offline Franchise guys behind in some updates to CFM. Also in some cases they didn't even do every fix they did for Online CFM for the Offline one.

I do still prefer offline though simply because if you make any mistakes you can just reload a save. Online you are stuck with them unless you go and stand taking over other teams and reversing a stupid trade mistake like selecting your number 1 pick in the trade instead of a 5th pick or something stupid because you been playing for hours.

I believe you are confusing premier and origin. Premier is the subscription that allows you to get all of EAs library.

Origin is the DRM software that must be run when running an EA game on computer that helps prevent piracy. Most games now a day's run some sort of DRM some have multiple.

This might help but not sure what the allure is worth according the origin launcher

Isnt the service called Ea Origin Premier?

Re: Origin Premier, Updates, and CFM

That is the yearly/ monthly subscription service yes.

But you still need to run the origin app.

They are two different things.

Which is my question exactly. Is it updated through ea continuously? Thus, if one chooses to play cfm off line, are the updates pushed through?

In a cloud cfm they are, and since the app is online, is it safe to assume you are getting the updates even in a non cloud cfm?

Re: Origin Premier, Updates, and CFM

Is anyone having issues running the game after the Origin update? I was on and closed out the game. Go back on a few minutes later and I'm prompt with a Origin update. Now when I go to launch the game, it seems like it wants to load then the Origin screen pops up and nothing happens.

Re: Origin Premier, Updates, and CFM

I have had this problem, I have spoken with EA and they have told me to uninstall and delete all origin folders, except local / content and madden ... and install it again.
I'm installing madden again, to see if there's luck ... what a disgust of origin

same thing is happening to me now, nothing I do has fixed it, I tried that hidden folder thing as well, didn't fix my issue, did you find a way to fix this?

Update: I uninstalled and reinstalled the game, didn't work, I uninstalled origin access and reinstalled origin access, didn't work. Looks like I'm stuck with a broken game until they patch this and fix the issue.

Re: Origin Premier, Updates, and CFM

Speaking from an update perspective, yesterday Origin started popping a roster update screen and I said no. Forgive me since I haven't played a Madden game since Madden 08 for the PC and updates from Origin are foreign to me.
1. If I update, this will update the current default roster with all the injury updates and so forth, correct?
2. I have been saying no, but like M08 this would not affect current franchises, just everything going forward, correct?
3. Is there a different screen that pops telling you that a patch has been applied to the game as well, or do we not know if a patch has been applied?
