Don't Start Your Madden NFL 16 CFM Until New Patch Arrives, According to Developers

[fisherjoecowboy]

Man, this is disappointing. I've played Madden since about 02 as a franchise mode junkie. After the glory years of 05-08, my dad and I put down Madden in favor of NCAA's dynasty mode. I ignored Madden until NCAA got the axe, and found myself purchasing '15, playing somewhat but ultimately disappointed. Whenever I played I was left with a bad taste in my mouth for whatever reason or flaw.

I decided to step up and maybe join an online league this year and get active in the online community, something I'd never done. I was skeptical(XP and goals don't belong in franchise mode, and the scout system looked simplified and OP) but preordered the game. Upon launch I love the gameplay, it's at a better stage than it's ever been imo, but my precious Franchise mode is broken. It's unacceptable meanwhile Draft Champions and MUT looks flawless. I would think Franchise mode would be the backbone of ANY sports game, but not anymore. I reluctantly continue to buy because of my love of the game. Looking at all these issues and hearing the actual ****ing developers tell us the game is broken and we don't know when it'll be fixed... I tell ya.

I'm honestly shocked any of these bugs are in the game. This is not a shot at EA. But honestly there are CFM developers who just focus on this part of the game. For months they test this mode out. OS found the majority of these bugs on the first day of EA Access Trial. I get the whole it went from so many people to millions but honestly some if these bugs are just clear as day.

Just a complete bummer. I'm dying to play. The only reason I buy Madden is because of franchise mode. Only thing that works in my favor is that I usually have to wait 2 weeks before I found the perfect slider set before I begin. I guess I can take this Time to practice but I'm just bummed out regardless.

WOW, like some of us just dont know how to read. How is the mode broken? Can you not start a CFM and play it until the patch drops? I am sorry, does yours freeze or not load?

I am not making excuses for the developers, but it just kills me that people actually swear when these guys dont need to address the issues or tell us things will be patched. Man, I am surprised mods around here are letting you guys get away with some of the stuff that is being said.

This is not our site, we have the privilege to post here and read the stuff going on. Some of you probably don't care with what I have to say, but mark my words, one of these years, EA wont be posting on this site anymore because a lot of you are ungrateful and aggressive.

Do you have to be so literal and rigid? You know what he means by broken. If a developer says "Don't start this mode" what does that mean?

It means he's answering the question of "Do we have to restart our franchises?" every year when a sports game gets patched. The answer is yes, so he's telling people to wait.

Franchise mode is totally playable, the results are just not optimal right now. Maybe the 'broken' guys should use a more accurate word to describe the issue.

You'll have to forgive us, but those of us who've been around here forever will tell you the term "broken" is the most overused and inaccurate term used in the forums here. At this point I generally ignore people who use the term and write them off as agenda posters, but some still bristle at the usage of it in situations like this.
