Skills Trainer existed in Madden 25 to teach the user the game's control scheme, especially the new ballcarrier move controls. Where it falls short is actually teaching players football strategy, a fault which this year's iteration seeks to rectify.

I think this is a great tool for anyone trying to increase their football IQ and hone their skill sets. However, I do remember in previous iterations the players were donned in practice uniforms during practice mode which is a small thing, but really added to the realism and immersion of the game. It's always the small details that get scrapped...it's probably too late now to re-implement.

Will the 48 new drills be available for practice in CFM. Like you would be able to choose a couple of drills each week to try to improve a player? I know I probably won't get a answer yet until they release CFM info.

So, they want an authentic football experience and to teach sim football to the customers, but plan on doing it in the most unrealistic and arcade way possible?

I get what they are after, but to see the screencap that accompanies that quote, well it made me chuckle inside a little.

Even as a Sim guy, this mode is super fun and addicting.

Yup. In CFM, it's called "Game Prep," and you earn XP for the players you use.

Seriously though, this book is incredible. I bought it thinking that I [i]really[i] knew football front to back. PK detailed everything and then some, and breaks down even the most complicated stuff (like playbook language and offensive line systems) and made it totally digestible. Everyone should buy this, no matter how much you think you know, PK is a truly amazing football mind.

Also, listen to Moving the Chains on Sirius XM at 3p.m. EST everyday. Dude is brilliant.
