Offline CFM won't let me play scheduled games

[Carlboy82]

After setting up my Offline CFM, the game will not allow any games to start up. I control all 32 teams, and when I attempt to start a game, it goes to the loading screen, and won't advance past that. Anyone else had this problem?

Same thing is happening to me. I have no idea why more people are not responding to your post, this problem is reported all over the internet in other forums.

It happened to me last night when I tried to switch uniforms. I am currently controlling about 4-5 teams, and when I try to switch a uniform it doesn't load past that uniform selection screen. If I leave it alone it will, however, but only after I reboot the entire game.

I can't imagine how irritating it would be if you set up a 32 team CFM just to have the game lock up like this. These are basic quality control items that should be addressed prior to release.

Thanks for that info, because I am logged on when trying. As a matter of fact ive set up my offline CFM 6 times hoping it wouldn't happen, and it still does. Really getting tired of the year after year problems with this game.

EA is really becoming garbage. I wish they would get bought out.

Had this same problem, workaround is that you must delegate the game prep
Before you play the game, I think that's what it's called. As soon as I checked that box to delegate prep, boom, the game loaded up and I could play. I have heard that if you auto save a game and restart later mid game there are other issues with loading screen again, haven't auto saved and returned to a game yet so I'm not sure about that. I spent 7 hours getting rosters and depth charts correct so I could start a 32 team offline cfm, I'll say it again, ea, please give us the option of a season mode w 32 team and complete roster control, is that too much to ask?
