I'll admit to being someone who read about Madden 17's "Play The Moments" (PTM) as being something gimmicky that I probably wouldn't touch. I have never trusted the Super Sim engine of Madden, and I like to play out all of my games in their entirety. But, I wanted to check it out anyway as it is one of Connected Franchise Mode's (CFM) new features for Madden 17.

What I wasn't expecting was that I would actually really like the feature, and plan to use it in my solo CFM.

All of this can be done using SuperSim and entering the game at the key moments. If not using the new slow feature, this is the same exact feature, with now the game telling you when 3rd down and red zone olays are, instead of having to be an aware human and just look with your eyes and press a.button.

Lipstick on a pig.

I love the mode. It's basically custom designed for me.

I really like the sound of PTM, as for me, I don't have hours upon hours on end to delve deep into CFM, so this could suit me perfectly when time is tight

Here is my testimony:

I took off work yesterday to play the game [like everyone else 😆] and in one day I was able to get 13 games deep into my franchise. I did skip pre season but I did do training every week. While playing each game I felt fully engaged and felt the plays I did run impacted the outcome. It did not feel cheap at all. And now because I know I can get through several seasons in a short time...I actually pay more attention to scouting and resigning players. And at ANY point during the game you can turn this feature on or off. There is no downside. It's a wonderful feature.

Oh one more thing...you CAN jump back into PTM during the game if you opt out. If you select the SuperSim option it will give you the option to only PTM. So you can go back and forth at will.

I've always been someone who plays every single franchise game. However, this sounds like I need to definitely check it out.

Having played a couple of Franchise games using the PTM feature, I like it. It's a fun way to play some of the less 'big' games.

I did have one quirky experience. I was down by 8 with 1:30ish to go and PTM prompted me to drive to tie the game. I marched down the field and scored a TD, but the PTM logic (don't what to to call it) went back to simming and didn't let me play the 2 pt attempt. CPU didn't make the 2 and I ended up losing.

That's really been the only bummer in an overall fun experience with Madden so far.
