I loved the improvements they made to franchise and game play and look forward to seeing it continue to evolve. There are a lot of us who are singing the games praises and playing the hell out of it and at the same time giving good constructive feedback to the development team for further tuning and improvements.

Same and same. I'm loving the game this year. Playing more Madden than i have in over 10 years. So I'm also totally on board with the positive reinforcement to the devs, for things they are they are doing right. I definitely have certain issues, but overall I'm trying to focus on the many positives.

I just don't see how anyone can say his is the best football game ever when over ten years ago Michael Vick and Tom Brady did not play the same. I couldn't imagine the outcry if they made a game back then where Vick didn't run the ball. Even humans can't run the qb in a realistic way now. I know Vick was overpowered back then which made it feel arcade at times but qb's were different and dominate players dominated the game offensively and defensively.

To each their own but I feel if they don't fix some issues this game will be about the worst for it's time.

roadman. I've said it once I've said it a hundred times. I always look forward to your post, I know you would never post false information, My faith in EA has nothing to do with you. I know those were quotes from Rex and I appreciate you letting us know. It gives me a little hope. But I also know Rex tweeted there was a fix for the punting issue a couple of months ago that never developed. If there is going to be a patch as Rex stated, I hope it addresses the CFM issues. But at this point, I have my doubts and I'll believe it when I see it.

Then we are playing different games. I am easily seeing a difference between elite and average QB's on All-Pro with custom sliders.

In fact....in year one of my Raiders CFM Carr ironically went down for the season in week 16. Had to go with A combo of Conor Cook and then Mclovin....and then I got so desperate I signed Mark Sanchez off the wire and he proceeded to suck *** as I got bounced out of the post season in prompt fashion.

Year 2 I had Carr and won the Super Bowl.

In year 3 week 13 and going strong.

I use all the passing mechanics at my disposal too. Touch, lob, bullet, lead, comeback, over the shoulder etc.

I get nice variety, and yes contrary to popular belief here on OS I throw inaccurate passes too.

People who follow me on Twitch see all this on the streams.

The game is easily the most realistic console football video game to date.

Madden 16 was also great so two straight years for my $$$ they have done a solid for us sports gamers yearning for a nice next gen football game.

I completely un-installed the game, reinstalled and it still does the same thing, I don't think a corrupted file is the issue here. Wish I could experience the fun some of you are having with CFM, but so far, that seems impossible.

Just for clarification, it was Clint that tweeted about the kicking fix, they had it fixed, but didn't make it in.

Fingers and toes crossed this time around.

And for doubters out there...these two statements are directly related. If you just do 'push button passing', you're going to have issues with it being too easy to pass. If you use all the passing mechanics, it is MUCH more realistic.

Thanks Roadman, I stand corrected, I knew that just used wrong name. Also have fingers and toes crossed hoping for some results. BTW, Played a franchise game in Cleveland last night against Cinn. It was cold, no snow but you could see there breath and the crowd was wearing warm clothes along with the coaches. Life is like a box of Chocolates, never know what you're gonna get.
