I'm playing Madden 16 with the intention of playing it for two years. I have played every Madden since Madden 2003 but with recent releases of broken games may lead me to skip next year. I think they don't test out there games until it's realase to the public. Can't even play cfm on launch day is sad I think they work hard on the game but don't test.

Jumped into CFM just to look around until the patch, and man is the gameplay strange. The onfield stuff seems to animate completely differently than outside the mode. Almost like CFM isn't using the new animations.

I looked on google to see if I was crazy or not and found this:

@RexDEAFootball here is the #CFM running animations that hold true for games and practice, wondering y they change? pic.twitter.com/0hRdl4974w

@RexDEAFootball @ClintOldenburg this is just normal practice mode. The running animation looks nice. pic.twitter.com/7moYU4hXe0

I feel like some of the other animations and gang tackling are kind of messed up in CFM as well, but I don't have any video or any other users out there corroborating this.

Rex's response:

Wow great attention to detail. Thanks for sending this in. I'll see what we can do.

[ehh]

How is that even possible as a programmer/developer? lol.

I always assumed all sports games had global animations regardless of the mode.

Yeah. It puzzles the heck out of me as well. I just hope all the CFM stuff can get ironed out and it's a more stable/functioning mode on release day next year.

I love how the game plays in Play Now, and I love how well sliders work, but I want that game in CFM not Madden 15, or a different version from Madden 16's Play Now experience.

Anyone else who has played some CFM games noticed the difference in gameplay/animations?

One thing I will say is that I'm starting to understand why we don't see the sweeping changes every year that we all want. Seeing the problems with CFM, I'm starting to understand the delicate balance of adding and fixing things without breaking others. I really hope the team can get the bugs fixed in a timely manner because this is a very good game, but CFM is the most important mode.
