The guys that only play MUT aren't looking at CFM and worrying about the issues we're having. It's all perspective when it comes to all of these games. The 2k series, baseball, hockey, whatever, they all have bugs that will either make you not want to play or decide they aren't something that impact your personal enjoyment of the game.

But madden is the only one that tends to have at least 1 major problem with franchise mode ever year. Remember last year the money issue with owner mode? While it never got fixed last year and I still don't know if it is fixed this year or not. Not only that but the show and NBA 2k tend to get better ever year and don't really regress in any way where madden even if the game gets better over all some thing tends to end up being a problem that was never a problem before. Like last year the sack issue was that a issue in madden 25? No it was not. The you had another year where guys would fumble like 20 times a game. Then that ended up getting fixed and like another year or 2 latter you got super line backers. Then later robo QB so its always like 1 step forward 2 steps back this year.

If they don't have a release date, which given the nature of what they are doing, the probably don't, what else do you want?

The Show and 2k have their fair share of issues all the time.

Not sure that's true with the Show, which by the way is my favorite game ever. It's had some pretty major progression and regression bugs, as well as off season signing shenanigans and roster management/lineup issues that make a 32 team franchise pretty much a necessity.

It needs to be able to be turned off or be in a different mode like MUT or DC, not CFM.

I turned off all the goal criteria alerts so to be honest I don't even know what they are.

I also am not a big fan of the RPG/Goal based XP system, never have been don't think I ever will be. One more reason why I only play single seasons.

I get my GM/Multiseason Jollies out of FOF7

Even that I took last year has we just cant fix sacks in till madden 16 because are you meaning to tell me that you couldn't see how the CPU would take sacks after holding on to the ball for like 20 seconds? Do they really think QB just hold on hold on to the ball and never pass the ball like that?

I'm sorry but it's ridiculous to release a boxed version of a game, and then come out and say oh this mode isn't actually ready, you're gonna have to wait to start it. Give more than that, or don't say anything at all if you don't have a firm timeframe

Man this is disappointing. I'm the commish of a 32 man league that has been together for 5+ years, and we've never had to go through something like this.

We are going to be waiting likely until Week 2 of the NFL season to start. Absolutely mind boggling that EA seems to be shoving aside one of their core groups and releasing a broken mode.

Why not find 300+ passionate Madden users and release a beta in June and tell them "find every bug in CFM"? It makes no sense why we have to wait now for nearly a month to play the mode most of us only buy this game for.
