How is that even possible as a programmer/developer? lol.

I always assumed all sports games had global animations regardless of the mode.

Yeah. It puzzles the heck out of me as well. I just hope all the CFM stuff can get ironed out and it's a more stable/functioning mode on release day next year.

I love how the game plays in Play Now, and I love how well sliders work, but I want that game in CFM not Madden 15, or a different version from Madden 16's Play Now experience.

Anyone else who has played some CFM games noticed the difference in gameplay/animations?

One thing I will say is that I'm starting to understand why we don't see the sweeping changes every year that we all want. Seeing the problems with CFM, I'm starting to understand the delicate balance of adding and fixing things without breaking others. I really hope the team can get the bugs fixed in a timely manner because this is a very good game, but CFM is the most important mode.

I'll keep it short because much of what I think has been mentioned.

I do want to point out that I find myself frustrated with the penalties called, but I find myself smiling at the same time. I have no problem with them, it's just that for the first time they're really being called and it's messing me up. I saw a couple PI calls in just 2 games last night. I can't remember the last time I EVER saw a PI call in Madden.

Now for my biggest pet peeve with the series over the last several years..****nning animations. They are very much approved, not where they should be, but I'm glad they did something. I'm looking forward to seeing sig animations make it's way into the game

Glad you like the game....now get to work on a slider set!

The game plays great!
LOL I didn't die guys, but thank you. I've only played a few games on All Pro and haven't seen any glaring issues as far as OMG have to tweak this or that slider except special teams. I slightly upped the penalties, fatigue, and injury as well. But way too early. I'm looking forward to really sinking my teeth in this weekend.

I'm reading on Twitter people complaining to Rex about QB inaccuracies. Saying they need to be patched. He said theyll look into it. That's one of the bright spots of this game. Some games qbs like Romo play great and I've had games were manuel was horrendous. It's great to get variety If they go back to 15 qb accuracies it will be a step back in the wrong direction. Peoplease can't be pleased or I guess be bothered with sliders.

My hope on this, if they go through with tuning it, is that the completion %'s can be tweaked separately for online and offline (and that offline gets left alone). No reason to believe they can't do that since the penalty frequencies are clearly different.

I'm liking the game over all but there is still a lot of rough edges:

- I pressured Philip Rivers and twice he tuck and ran the ball out of the backfield like a running back. Weird.

- Had a blitzing Seahawks LB break a block and go for my QB only to turn and start running upfield for some reason. Oddly, on the same play I went deep to megatron only to have Sherman knock the ball out of his outstretched hands which looked super realistic. ( I have a video this on my phone).

- The game clock is weird sometime... doesnt' rundown to the set amount after a penalty, still doesnt stop when you run out of bounds etc.

- Had an instance, I think it was after a penalty, where I couldn't hike the ball... all the other buttons worked by I kept pressing X and nothing happened.

-Peyton Manning just stood there for 34 seconds and let the play clock run out and got a delay of game penalty even though everyone was standing ready for the play. He wasn't calling audibles or anything.

If they patch this i will be very angry is the best thing of madden IMO. Let face it, most users donīt want a sim game. They want to get 500 passing yds every game with their favorite Team, and some are Jets fans.

Agreed.

There needs to be a SIM, NORMAL and ARCADE mode... sort of like they have in the NHL series and NBA2k.

Not everyone like to play the game the same way.

Personally i think they have different teams doing different game modes. CFM has too many diffferencies. Penalties works different, CPU running game is different. Game plays really different from Play now to CFM.

I see nothing wrong with QB accuracies. I think it's great sometimes I miss a throw, and sometimes I make a bad throw when my feet aren't set. QB play is well balanced this year imo.

Fixing QB accuracies would be a huge mistake.

They are great now. Good QB are accurate and bad ones are bad.

I agree. And once in awhile I've seen good QBS have bad games which is also nice once in awhile.

Seem's like the war in the trenches has regressed a great deal since last year...

Through probably ten games, I honestly think default all-pro is *almost* perfect. The best week one Madden experience I've ever had. In years past I've had to tweak sliders for at least a month before I could even start to enjoy it.

One gameplay area that is seriously lacking is special teams - and it has been for years. Hoping they make that a priority for next year.

Overall really impressed with the direction this team is taking the game. There are still areas that need improvement (as there always will be, in any game), but Madden is finally fun to play straight out of the box again.

9/10, must-buy.

This x1000. Hopefully he doesn't listen to those who want him to "fix" what is already in good shape.
