They all run the same. I remember how impact players in NCAA 06 forced you to change your strategy when playing against them. I wish Madden did the same. The CPU style and intelligence still have a long way to go. CPU ai for qbs was a nice upgrade this year but many more upgrades are needed.

It wasn't 06 though was it?

I thought it was earlier version that had the moments when your star player would get in the zone and they would make a break a tackle, make a big catch, ect

That was awesome and really made you wanna use each star player on your team

It was 06. When you're guy (or the CPU) would get "in the zone" and make a cut/juke, the game speed would slow down and the camera would zoom in on the player and then pan back out after he made his move.

Those players were also more likely to break a block/tackle in those moments.

Yeah I remembered what it did but couldn't remember if it was on 05 as well

I still have 06 but don't have a original Xbox any more lol

Sure do miss those games

The bugs popping up now that I am in year 2 of my CFM are just really such a huge letdown.

Incredible game they made on the field. But the bugs are just really starting to wear on my patience.

Previous week compared to current game stat swipes are now bugged in year 2. All zeros for previous week performance for each and every player. It destroys my immersion. Because it is constant. And it's like hearing fingernails go down a chalk board everytime I see prime time players who had big games or lousy games the previous week always have zero's across the board and hearing Jim Nance talk about how they did nothing. It's crazy and sounds so bad.

Injuries are bugged now in that players are showing for example:

Matt Ryan Torn Rotator Cuff Injury Time 0 weeks

You can't IR them, they never recover, they can't be used again in the game. Nor released. It a nasty bug and ruins rosters.

It's insane. It really is amazing this stuff is popping up.

Please guys......test the game, and patch it properly. Otherwise multiple year CFM's are not possible with this. I have been one of the major voices of support for the title and your response with patches has been admirable.

But whatever happened on the last patch.....it bugged these two area's.

I really hope it is addressed in the next (and most likely final patch).


If not it is a one season then start over game for me. You can't have an injury bug like this and play multiple years in a CFM.

You just can't.

The bug where previous game stats all show as 0s after season 1 was in M15 too. It's a little thing, but it annoyed me.

Armor - I've always been a one season and start over guy because I just want to play football. Also I play with injuries off because that's my fantasy world.

My problem is that I'd love to play a second (or more) season with a team so that their schedule rolls to the next configuration. Other than that I don't want any changes, particularly to my roster.

A couple of years ago I tried to fight through an off-season by just button mashing my way through it and ended up with an undrafted free agent as my starting quarterback.

Do you know any way to get to a second season w/o changing the team around?

Thanks.

The CPU takes it upon themselves to make trades...even on your behalf.

Bug.
