Man, just when I was starting to gain hope for Madden. What a shame

Madden 15 had a lot of gameplay and presentation(or lack of it) issues, even things listed as one of it's main selling points(defense) was flawed. I know they're finally going to work on wrs jumping for the football, but will it work, or will it be like last year's 'improvement' with defense, being an overpowered jump snap/tackle cone gimmick that didn't fix the problem? Will the awareness attribute finally matter? Or will players keep having no idea where they are on the field? Will players attempt to stay inbounds, recognize game situations, have adaptive ai so that you don't march down the field with ease? Will players finally avoid stepping on each other post play(since Madden 13), will penalties work, are robo qbs gone? Are mirror animations which have been in madden/ncaa for years finally gone? Is the challenge system fixed...will the ai stop challenging plays for us? Will 'living worlds' finally have a sideline that doesn't look like cardboard cutouts? Will stat overlays be fixed in franchise mode? Are we finally going to get formation subs back? What they've announced so far are none of those things I've mentioned, along with a tweak to the confidence mechanic, something that most of us hated. I know it's early, but it seems like they're once again not addressing the game's major issues, but giving us small things like being able to practice with your team and tweaking the confidence mechanic.

Unfortunately I think we know the answers to all of your questions my friend...

Leave it to Madden to be extremely disappointing. Free Practice and the new player card. This developmental team is complete BS. They haven't done anything to create what it feels like to run a franchise. Dealing with finances to buy improvements for your stadium and practice facilities. Dealing with players that get in to trouble outside off the field and deciding what to do with it. I mean there are so many different ways to go and this pathetic excuse of a company is bragging about Free Practice and a new player card. It's unfortunate the guys running the show have no idea what to do with a proper franchise mode.

Like I said before just because you didn't see it in M16 CFM doesn't mean they didn't invest in more for CFM for the future. Many of the top community requests for CFM are on the priority list for the future. I think once people see all the gameplay improvements they will start to get a better vibe about M16. Very little details have been released so far regarding the gameplay improvements.

To the bold.. That's never going to happen as the NFL will not allow it.

Your other comments such as "Pathetic excuse of a company" doesn't help a thing.

They have been on that list for sometime. I think the CFM community is tired of hearing this. Madden is forever building the foundation for the future.

The reason I say "Pathetic Excuse of a company" Is what company introduces innovations such as an owner mode that includes create a stadium where you design the entire stadium, set prices, etc. and then takes almost 10 years to re introduce the same features like they are knew. They introduce this goal system, they had a mini camp where you had to complete drills for preseason progression that was universally praised and they take it out. I can go on and on about how this company has completely lacked in progress compared to The Show and NBA 2K franchise modes. The irony is before they had exclusivity in MLB and football they were setting the bar, which proves that they had the potential and now to be bragging about new player cards!! This is why it is a "Pathetic Excuse for a company".
