Madden NFL 17 Address All 3 Phases of the Game: Offense, Defense & Special Teams

[Gapiro]

I skipped Madden 16 so i'm hoping this isn't a dud. The special teams mention got me hopeful that they might put a special teams lineup in to the game but it that wasn't mentioned. Any changes to the special team approach is something to be excited about imo.

Really? I thought Madden 16 was incredible and took huge strides forward. Still playing it today.

Chances are you won't be happy with 17 if you felt this way about 16.

Yeah, not much sympathy here. Franchise guys complain about the attention MUT gets when they users pay more to get it, but now reject the idea of a comprehensive franchise mode that utilizes a ton of online resources an extra development if it costs anything extra.

That doesn't even take into account that the mode would be developed for a niche of a loud but small percentage of their users. I'm not saying anything they develop is worth some extra money, but I can see them doing something worth the cost. But this attitude pretty much tells EA to move on.

On charging for elements in CFM: the concept of pay-to-win is very widely accepted as terrible game design when devising a micro transaction element. I'm sure the guys at Tiburon know this. To that end I would not expect to see any "buy XP"/ "training bonus" / etc. options in CFM anytime soon.

Note that Ultimate Team is absolutely not pay-to-win. It is entirely playable without spending a dime, and there are safeguards in preventing pay-to-win, including the fact that real money / "Points" have no value in the auction house so a user can't just pick his players.

Franchise has been apart of Madden for over 10 years. To start charging extra for that mode now is just ridiculous.

I hate that line of thinking, 'yo users pay more for that game mode' ... and? we paid for cfm/franchise for over 10 years, there is no difference.

Sim just tweeted this was merely a suggestion from a community member that's it. So hopefully that's all it really is.

No offense, but EA makes more than enough off of MUT and Madden Mobile alone , profit im talking to fund the entire game across the board and still make millions.If that isnt enough for em, many will walk. MUT and CFM are completely dif modes. The whole concept behind MUT is pay for the best team. CFM the idea is actualy spend years building your team thru true team management. You start breaking up the user base of CFM based on who pays the most for it, your destroy the whole thing the mode is about. There is a huge difference.

The fact is , EA has more than the money to make CFM better already.People dont realize how much money just Madden Mobile alone makes them, but i assure you its in the millions.

ok fair enough, but why focus on that so much on the show , when the devs for CFM are clearly listening? Why not save that for another time and just focus on what people want to see in CFM , without the tag of paid for...and again they arent the first GC ive heard talk about this, Shop and Madscientist have too. Im pretty sure Shop even mentioned it in one of this live streams on his new show on ea twitch this year.... just odd i keep hearing it from the GC who are most responsive with community to me.
