And then people would bitch that they aren't saying anything.

Ive been saying this, seems to fall on deaf ears. You want it tested well , put it in the hands of people who actually spend lost of time with it every single year, have a strong drive to make it the best they can thru their help, and let them Help!

I think, but don't quote me you can get pretty close with 8 mins and no accelerated clock. I think that's about what I used to play before the advent of the accelerated clock.

Lets just think about a few things before everyone jumps off the bridge. First, how thorough do they test CFM? I mean really, if you think about it whom is paid to sit there and play the game as extensively as some of us do? Do these players even know the ins and outs of football and what stats/atts should be there and what shouldn't be there? What are they paid to look/test for?

We jump all over EA, the game testers and the devs really not knowing how the process works. You sit me, an avid gamer for nearly 23 years in front of this game and say "play it" I wouldn't catch half the issues with it because I dont study football stats/atts as deep as some people do.

I understand many of you including myself have spent the $60+ on this game and cant even play a CFM correctly, however what could you, or anyone could have done to change our current situation? I don't know a lick about programming, and all I can say is we shouldn't point fingers when we have no idea on where to point those fingers.

From the past experiences I have had with Madden games and the developers of this game that come onto this site, this is the the most positive experience I have had. I say that because this is the first time I have purchased Madden since Madden '12. Maybe its because someone from The Show is now on the team and they have a stellar track record, or maybe I bought into the mumbo jumbo that some of you think they give each and every year.

One thing for sure is that these issues are far from problematic based upon issues I have had in the past. I remember having to go through and release "F" potential players for EVERY TEAM, every offseason, because the CPU refused to release them. I also remember when punters were subbed in as guards and tackles.

Patience and an understanding is what we all need to practice. We really shouldn't be sitting here saying we have an non-working product, cause we really do. None of the issues this year in CFM make the game unplayable in a true way. You are able to put the disc in, play CFM, and yes you may not like the rookie atts that come through, or your team clears 100 in certain att lines during a game, but just be thankful it doesnt freeze or load up at all...that's a truly unplayable game.

We also need to be thankful we have a option to voice our displeasure, and not to mention be thankful we can go onto a forum and point out these issues. Really think about it, in the past if you got stuck with a bad game, you were stuck with a bad game.

The show is my favorite sports game and I am not even a big baseball fan really only watch baseball come playoff time. That is how great that game is. I do know that the game has issues with older guys decline way to much like 20 points in a season and nba 2k had a problem before it got fixed last year where like ever player at 30 would get worse no matter how good of a year they had. I found that to be a killer but it is still not has bad has the issues CFM has right now and mlb the show game play wise ever year gets better and doesn't really get worse in any way other then mlb 14 I thought went kind of backwards but that was also the first year for mlb the show on ps4.

They essentially didn't say anything other than a patch was in the works. I am not sure what else you want.

That's not the point however. It was stated that franchise mode gets better and better in the show and doesn't have any major bugs. All I am saying is that's not true. For me as well I don't think Franchise mode in the show has taken any leaps forward either, and as I said 32 team control is still pretty much required.

For this years version from a gameplay perspective I am not sure how it's not better. I think it's the best onfield version of the Madden in like 10 years. That's purely subjective however.

I am just going by what everyone else has said because I haven't been able to listen to it yet. My hope is that as long as I don't get to the draft then it won't be an issue.
