On the Fence!

[bestbrother]

I appreciate there is an impressions thread, which is fantastic to get bits and pieces of info from. Also the Q&A thread as well which also helps on occasions.

However this thread is to discuss why you (maybe) still sat on the fence as to whether to purchase this game now or not.

Im one of those guys right now. Every year I normally invest in 3/4 annual sports franchises, from Madden to MLB to Football Manager etc... some I look back on with regret, others ive plied hours into and not even thought any more of it.

This year though, im being a bit more frugal (of mind) and really want to ensure that I get the right games for me and not just get sucked into the early release hype, only to see the game sat on my PS4 collecting 'digital' dust.

As a CFM guy, I play solo, offline only. Im still looking on for some solid views and reviews of situations. I dont expect miracles from last year, but every little helps. On top of that, gameplay is obviously key and some of the impressions go from great to bad.... with the overall feel that the commentary/presentation upgrade is papering over some cracks that the game has.

So if you are on the fence, whats going to get you off it and which side will you get off on?

For me, it has to be something CFM related that will put a smile on my face, you know that little special thing that makes you think.. yeah, fancy a bit of that myself.

Need things to hurry up though, the Mrs wont want to be pulling all these splinters out of my rear if I stay up here too long

Same boat for me too, I only play offline franchise mode.
After reading everything on here i don't need to start a thread to convince me to buy it.
I will be playing tonight at Midnight!

If you're a offline CFM guy this is a must buy, they did a great job this year finally making it feel like the NFL experience we see every Sunday.

Offline cfm here as well....I finished a full 16 game season over 3 trials this weekend....,one of my absolute favorite things is the score ticker nearing the end of the season, I was in a huge battle with about 6 other teams trying to squeeze in to a wild card slot, and being able to scoreboard watch as I played was so amazing because of the lack of this small detail all these years. It was very immersive. Add on they showed the playoff race pop up before the game and some contextual commentary at the end if these games, it felt really good....I missed the playoffs by the way with buffalo at 9-7 due to the Bengals having the tie breaker on me...another huge thing during the year is hearing things like, Tyrod Taylor runs in for the touchdown giving him 18 total on the year and Jerry Hughes with his 11th sack if the season and his second today.....those things make your cfm alive....the constant update of compiled stats with in the commentary....bravo ea, bravo
