This function appeared to work a little better in normal CFM games were you were the coach(80% of the time) on M15 That always bugged the crap out of me.

Yes, but I was playing as a coach, Arians.

any chance the stat over lays stayed onscreen longer so you can actually read and process the stats?

Couple questions...

Is Larry Ridley still there during the loading screens? I liked the intros with player stats last year but with the new goal loading screens are those gone or do they still appear if you turn off the goal banners/ticker/etc.?

He said hopefully before his show tonight, if not I'm sure he will go over it on the show. In fact I'll do a recap of the show for you guys in a brief transcript form, probably around 10pm est or so.

Each thing I hear makes me even more unhappy.

The thing about the goal popups and banners -- Being able to turn them off is not the point. It tells us where the developers wish to take the game and what their focus is. Unlike other sports games this is a big deal for Madden because it seems like they only address a few parts of the game each release.
Edit: I can see it now, next year you can earn more exp by comboing moves together! Juke spin? Double the xp!! With neat little graphics where the xp floater is on fire the more moves you string together

Another thing that caught my eye and also has me unhappy, confidence resets to 50 each year? Well that is one way to make the confidence mechanic worse.

And they have "toned" down goals? So instead of saying gee, seems our goal of 133 catches a year led to problems or bizarre effects, maybe we should rethink our approach, Madden says, blah just make it easier by dropping the goal requirements.

This will ruffle some feathers no doubt, but it seems that everyone who complained about not doing as well in online CFM last year got their wish. Congrats, looks like Madden lowered the game to your level. Seems EA is trying their best to make everyone good at the game. Cause we are all winners you know
