People who go this route basically want to build the best team with which to play against others online and don't want to waste their time on solo challenges. The effect is that, while you can absolutely build a competitive team without spending money, it will take a while, and it is unquestionably faster to build a competitive team by spending money. Users are paying for convenience.

Gotcha. Sounds pretty much exactly like what CoD has become.

Good shot JPDavis82, only if they can tone the colors of the team uniforms to match real life, would make it even more perfect!

I would highly, highly doubt they would ever go there but with the way things are now it's entirely possible.

That's possible. Honestly, I didn't even think about legendary head coaches. Now that is something I would think about purchasing. It would still keep the game realistic, I could just treat the hiring as a coach coming out of retirement as opposed to a player so old, he has no buisness in the league. Still though, I would rather they not add any micro transactions at all to CFM for the same reasons you mentioned.

I'm just hoping they haven't turned Franchise Mode into a Single Player Offline experience.

3 things.
1.Hope special teams blocking is fixed so run backs are possible now
2. saw the new HB running features, hope its more than just a dice roll this year, seemed like you didn't stiff arm last year you had a better chance of breaking a tackle, the animations mess up the running with the ball so much.
3. Still see players standing not interacting, #20 jets looking right at gronk does nothing, patriots downfield not engaging in the play, ugh. Gronks stiff arm also flinging the guy with ease,hmm.

4. If you pause while he is in the endzone big difference in the face, looks very bland and generic.

Crowd looks very nice though.

Crowd looks like it did last year or did I miss something? I liked the crowd last year though, but I would like to see them add children, but first I'd like team flags and cheerleaders, maybe vendors in the stands.

Or if custom draft classes will be left out again and I wont play Madden for the 3rd straight year. At the very minimum, Im hoping we can edit anything about players at any time during franchise mode like you can do in both 2k and The Show. At least in those games you can edit draft picks once they are drafted and turn them into real guys by editing name, ht, wt, skills, personal info, equipment. Really hope EA is bring the complete user customization control to Madden like the NCAA series had.

Not necessarily, we need to think of this as year one of the new franchise mode. It's not going to be as deep as Nba 2K and The Show. I'm looking forward to the direction they are taking the mode, what the main pillars of the mode will be. I hoping the mimic every single aspect of the real NFL off-season and put more emphasis on coaching rather than owning.

Year 1? Try year 3 at the least, but really CFM been in since madden 13, so 13,25,15,16 this would be year 5 actually.
