Madden NFL 17 Developer Q&A Confirms Formation Subs Included in Day One Patch

[Mike Lowe]

I'll be curious to see whether the AI uses formation subs, or if it'll be a distinct advantage that only the user utilizes.

I don't see anyway the cpu utilizes formation subs. There's no way the AI can say "oh I can get an advantage using player X in this position in this formation"

I've never done a 32 team control cfm but is there options where I can set the teams formation subs but have the cpu take care of everything else?

You can set the formation subs for each team and then you can put auto pilot on for every team you don't want to control.
