They Heard You: Popular Community Requests Coming to Madden NFL 17's Franchise Mode

Full player editing is an awesome feature to CFM. Not sure how i'll use practice squads though, as i usually just go to free practice with my whole team and run plays there..

Its just too bad there's so many games coming out near the same timeframe. Madden just may have to wait, i don't have the money to spend. But i'll surely like the editing.

The other feaures are pretty good as well.

Now if only i could get selectable weather so i'm not always playing in sunshine every game

People complaining about roster dumps and being able to revert them, you can just add the players back and give them a contract. Will it be perfect, no. Is it a work around, yes.

Player edits can be used online as well. If 97 speed WRs are too OP it gives the commish a chance to have a top speed limit that doesn't break the game.

Also allows commishs to counter any speed/acc declines.

Why do people always jump on the negative side and not look at the positives

Very very excited for Madden 17. The score ticker so subtle yet so huge to immersion. I am loving the fact I now have a more living and breathing CFM with just that alone.

The practice squad is a monster new feature. Now we can really develop some young guys who are simply not ready to take up a roster spot. You can go after veterans to make a run at the title now yet stash away 5th, 6th and 7th round rookies or even free agent rookies who get cut by other teams. It add's such a huge layer of roster management to Madden that was sorely needed.

Play the Moments is actually something I really am curious about. It is akin to Quick Counts on The Show. I think this is a great new feature as EA seems to understand a core section of their game buying base are their pioneer Madden gamers (like myself as I am an old fart) and don't have nearly as much time to play 2-3 games a day yet alone one! I do play every snap....but if I am crunched for time and don't want to go into rest mode and come back to the game later, it's nice to have this option to fly through a game when/if I want. I have a feeling it will be a hugely popular feature for a good amount of older Madden players in the mainstream.


Gameplanning - Nice. Now this looks like an expansion of game prep. But I appreciate the in game boosts that can be earned by using this feature. I am really looking forward to using this though. It will make game preparation more immersive knowing we get a nice payoff (in game boosts for certain positions, plays etc) if we can do well in drills designed to take advantage of a team's weakness. Tendency tracking is also another immersive feature which add's a layer of strategy to the gameplanning feature. Also three different approaches to gameplans is nice. If I am out of the playoff race, I can focus on player development. If I am a dominant team I can focus on my money plays/tendencies. If I am facing a tough team, I can hone in on their weak spot and try to exploit it. All great additions.

Player Development Focus - Much needed. I am glad I can focus on that LT, MLB or WR I took in the draft more than other players. Another cool little addition to make you decide things within your roster management strategy.

Full Player Editing - Thank goodness it is back. I was really let down when it was removed on 13 and always hoped it would return. Well it has. So now we can do whatever our hearts content to our rosters, rookies and aging superstars (extend a career perhaps? Fix some over done regression? Change a rookies name and looks to what we want?) It is now possible to make your league more immersive again with player editing.

Dynamic Development Trait - Nice to see this possibly work like it should with Superstar dev traits really blooming and slow dev traits busting out of the league quicker.

I am sure some more CFM news will come out.....but this is all looking great to me. 16 was the best playing Madden ever (not even close for me) and 17 is shaping up into a juggernaut Madden release.

Ok here it is -


Looks like players over 30 going to be losing -2 points in numerous areas now ..... including speed. Not sure how improved that is from this year to be honest.

Something we will need to see further at game launch.

Nice synopsis A & S.

White just tweeted on if there are more CFM blogs coming

@frederikramm no more are currently written. We may have more later though. Undecided.

If no other blogs are coming out regarding CFM I wonder what other things Shopmaster was talking about?
