Very little details have been released so far regarding the gameplay improvements.

The Game play has been the one area that doesn't need drastic changing. It needs tweaks, maybe CB/WR AI refining and some other changes but generally the madden game play has come a long real nicely. It is the presentation and CFM that have been severely lacking and this is what makes up the bread and butter of Madden's customer base. There are so many new directions to go and to brag about a goal system on a drive, or player cards, what is this coming too. In CFM when you win a Superbowl you should be able to re read articles of that SB year or Radio Show highlights so you feel that year over again and what it was like to win. So that your legacy is more than just some number. But ironically they took out newspaper articles and a Radio Show that they had in over ten years ago. I'm just making a point.

But the real question is how far in the future will these things be put back into the game or added? Also you keep hyping up the gameplay additions. How can I get on that train if the majority of their resources went to CFM and that info was underwhelming to me

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".

Again insults are no way to get us heard.
There are tons more mature ways to get your point across. Using the tone you are simply will get you ignored.

Do they always see eye to eye with us? Nope and they will never see eye to eye 100% with us.

State your things you dislike and for that matter like and go from there.

This "excuse of a company" has donated millions to such charities as the Red Cross and Veterans Organizations.

They may not be Saints in the realm of video games but they've done a lot many people don't know or pay attention too.

Anyways I'm simply saying to keep it respectful and that will be heard a lot more than the opposite.

"Pathetic excuse of a company" is not an acceptable level of discourse for this forum and that rhetoric will stop immediately.

I'm not asking you to get on any kind of train, you have a right to feel how you want. I'm just telling you how I feel about the Madden 16 gameplay announcements yet to be seen. Like I said before, not everything they invested into CFM is in this year's game, I can't give specifics but we're not talking 3 years from now.

As a franchise buff, these improvements are underwhelming if this is all that was added to CFM. I was hoping to at least see some things from Head Coach or even past Madden Franchise Modes implemented. I honestly thought that with Looman onbord we would have had most, if not all, of Head Coach in Madden by this point. But that's neither here nor there... The problem for me is that the mode feels so dead and stale for single players; like it's designed for online play. Nothing wrong with that, but I don't play online at all. Hopefully they do something to liven (CBS presentation, Wrap Up Show, Ticker...) it up some.

If you believe that then that's fine for you, but I haven't seen anything in the history of Madden or EA Sports that leads me to believe they have a long term vision or goal for CCM/Franchise/Etc. The closest thing I've seen to one was when they ripped out a ton of features from Franchise and rebranded it as CCM supposedly so they wouldn't have to take a step back with the new console launches, and now it's 2015 and we're not even back to where Franchise was yet.

I don't hate the game; I actually like it quite a bit. But it would be really hard to convince me that a company with EA's track record is seriously 'building for the future' when all we've experienced, ever, is them cramming half-finished features into the game so they could put it on the back of the box and sell more copies. Sometimes they fix it the next year (procedural motion) sometimes it quietly dies (QB vision cone,) but for them to be doing what you're saying would be a huge change of course for the company. One I seriously hope they've made, but I'm not going to believe it till I see it.

Did you feel like gameplay was improved from 25 to 15 and did they remove anything from 25 in 15? The answers to those questions for you will probably tell you what you need to know. The vision for this game is pretty much from 25 on and on next gen consoles, most of 25 and 15 was done with removing legacy issues and building for the future in mind. I think once people see m16 gameplay they will start to catch the vision, even if it's not fully where we would like it yet, a lot of work has been done and 16 is the first next gen title to get a full dev cycle time to develop it.
