Hey guys, I don't know if this was caused by the patch, or if it was an issue prior to the patch. But take a look at the fact that you can't truly change schemes in owner mode

Owner mode scheme changes do not stick

Has anybody had dumb receivers? Just had a play where Dalton threw a pass to AJ Green.. The ball was under thrown so AJ ran back to it.. But he kept on running.. And it was picked off.. No attempt to catch it.. just ran underneath it and kept running.. It was catchable but no attempt was made by AJ..

Now i don't even see this particular thing a real issue but that is just my opinion but let me put it this way....i guarantee you there are far far more people that don't see this confidence issue than those that do. Example...i know of more times than i have fingers where some sort of "conspiracy" was hastily posted in here and it simply snowballed into something nasty and it was never true to begin with. What i can say to those that want to enjoy the game for what it is...is to make sure to not dive head deep into a lot of those in here that complain a lot or put a video game under the microscope because if you don't, in the end...it will boil down to one thing...you simply will catch this bad habit of always looking for flaws and bugs when could simply be enjoying the game for it's positives. A positive mind has so much more fun with games...take this from a 41 year old that use to put games under the microscope...after years i came to one conclusion and that is all those damn years i missed enjoying games because i listened to some Joe schmo dissect the game to pinpoint its imperfections, negatives, dislikes,etc and it ruined many years of gaming for me. It's not worth it guys, in this you CAN TRUST ME.

If you've been here any amount of time, you'll know i am not a game dissector, nor do I declare the sky is falling for small issues, in fact I have been criticized here for downplaying issues that appear to me to be trivial, whether it's Madden, NB2k or The Show.

Given that, I will say, the difference the game plays in CFM when confidence gets out of whack and a Play Now game is quite tangible. This is not being overplayed by the guys who see it. To me it becomes readily apparent very quickly in to your CFM.

Take that for what it is, still simply my opinion, but its coming from somone who's not a wannabe amateur game tester. I have no desire to go on bug hunts, I just want to play the game.

I love this site and I've been a huge fan for years. I rarely post anything just because it's not my style.

I'm sure this has been said before, I've seen folks say this a few times.

MADDEN needs to be rebuilt from the ground up. The community is so awesome and all of you prove that. All the comments and suggestions are amazing. The madden community gives more attention and ideas more than any other sports community combined. We all deserve better. The gameplay is really good this year. The features are still awful. It's "next gen" consoles and we still get a good decent realistic CFM close to being good? That's a joke.

This is completely possible because games like NBA2k and MLB the show prove that on consistent basis. Not that those games don't have their issues as well. I'm not one of those people that bitch about the game being $60 either. Videogames make more money these days than ever ( especially with DLCs and MUT ect...)

Why don't my RB's auto sub on situational plays? Why doesn't my RT get benched after being awful for 4 games in a row? just a few examples, the list goes on. This is possible and happens in other games during a franchise.

I expected better on the "next gen" consoles. My personal belief like all of us. WE DESERVE BETTER. WE ARE LOYAL!!!!

No doubt you are correct, it seems that the current Madden is basically a giant house of cards. I feel for the devs, as it appears any changes made anywhere have catastrophic repercussions in multiple areas of the game. Years upon years of bad code piled on top of bad code with no deserved ground up re-imagining have painted the team in a corner. What I would love to see is instead of Madden 17 being released, next August we are presented with a beta, and that beta would extend all the way to Summer of 2017 (Madden 18) because as it is right now, cfm simply cannot be used without some crazy bs workarounds, we as a community should be able to assist in crushing these bugs so we have playable modes other than just play now, like you said we deserve it. The Madden team is probably already elbow deep in 17, leaving us with an unfinished product waiting for next years unfinished product. Unfortunately for us, zero competition coupled with MUT being the cash guzzling pig (unbelievably to me) that it is, no suit at EA has any reason to give our community what it deserves, we cannabalize our own interests (myself included) by annually pumping untold millions into a sub par product. It's a shame cfm sits where it does right now, because the gameplay is real, real close to being where it needs to be.

Just wanted to confirm the best way to play CFM. Offline or Online? If offline, with or without tuner? I tried a 32 team offline, with 31 teams having the CPU settings. When I made it to the off-season, it seemed none of the 31 teams re-signed any FA's. There was about 20, 90+ rated FA's. Has anyone ran into that issue?
