1- Allow us to set match ups . People have been asking for this for quite a while, Let us , pre game, set up our match ups , ex – our best cb on opponents best wr, or our fastest Lb to follow the Hb.Id even like to take it a step further, and let use set someone to “man” on the qb. Qb spy is ok, but still see way to many times QBs not covered even in qb spy.

2-  Give commish/owners ability to set someone on auto from cfm website. If we can advance from website, surely it can be programmed to put someone on auto from one.Look, if your in an online league , with 31 other guys, all from different timezones, jobs, etc. Its going to happen, people will be texting you ( commish) asking you to set them on auto. Most of us have our phones on hand at about all times. I can load a webpage in about 5 seconds, click a button, and have them set to auto in 30 seconds tops , if it was an option. Instead , we have to stop what we are doing ,get to our console, wait for it to load, then load the game, wait for it to load, pick cfm, go find user name, set to auto. On top of the fact, alot of the time, you arent even home when you get the text. The addition of extra admins on console is nice, but still not the answer we need.Give us this option!

3- Let us export our cfm rosters to some place( like a community, bring it back !) where we can play actual games with our actual rosters and get more practice in with them, as well as just play h2h games with others from other leagues and the teams they have built up.

4- Make the game auto save stats, possession , score, injuries, time left in quarter , at least once a quarter and at the end of each quarter(It could even overwrite the last save, after each new one, thus saving space). If game gets played all the way thru, have it auto delete the info. Thus to save the space on servers. If game gets disconnected , this would let players at least have a place to pick back up where game had left off basically .Alot of times these games get DC in the 3rd quarter or even late in 4th. It takes about an hour to play a game on 7 minutes. Alot of us have families and jobs, we dont have time to replay games.Add the feature , so that it wouldnt be such a huge pain to have to replay a game over again from the start.

5- Look , schemes are cool , but the way its set up really needs to be more streamlined. On the same page that we pick the schemes for each position. Below that , it should show each player at that position in depth chart, and each time we pick a new scheme, it should then show us on that same page, how much change in the players overall it changes each one. Instead of how it is now, you have to go look at players overall, back out, go to schemes, go to that position , change it once, back out, back out, go to depth chart, find player, see how it changed, back out, back out, go to schemes…. etc… Do you see how much work that is ? It needs to all be on the same page. Also make schemes matter more if they are going to be in the game .The more players on our team we get with our set scheme, they should all progress alittle faster and just play together better than players from all dif schemes but are fast.

6- Stop Sim Injuries!! This really needs to be addressed. When a commish advances a league, any unplayed games, the ones that get simmed, should have injuries auto turned off for those games.Alot of times , teams lose 2-4 players in sims .Sure once in a while a team loses no one, but more often than not, they lose numerous players in sims. This really needs to stop. A commish doesnt always have time or ability to get on console and turn off injuries before a sim , then turn em back on afterwards.It just needs to be in the programming of the game, if a game gets simmed, auto turn off injuries. Please! Ask any commish, im sure they all will say the same , they get asked to turn off injuries , if two people agree to a fair sim . Why ? Because its an issue.

7- Bring “coach glass” into the game . In a CFM , let it compile an owners “info” on their play style of how they play only in that league . Kind of how you have the info there now, when picking a play, that says , people pick this play on 2nd and long alot( that data is on all people who play online)… Let it actually only show data on that owner , in that league, what he does in that league. In real life, that is the real info cordinators have and look at about the team they are playing that day.Let that info show up on our screen in CFM, telling us what only that opponent tends to do in those situations currently in. As well as the breakdown, of their run , pass , man , zone ,blitz , ratio stuff. It would be great to show this info before the game is even played, like a breakdown of what your this weeks opponent tendencies are. Let us look over it , before hand so we can actually really gameplan more. Let it be in our practices. Where when we practice with team, we have option to play ( like a real game) against the practice squad, and the practice squad runs the same plays our opponent that week likes to run . Thus giving us a real way to gameplan , like they do in the real NFL. Also , a side thing, in full team practice. Dont make me have to hit option, and go in and tell it to let me pick another play , just to pick a different play to run . Come on guys, streamline……

8- About Spending xp. If i go in to spend XP. I can go look at just WRs, then i pick a WR, spend his points, when i back out, it takes me back to all players ,and starting with player with top xp. I get the point, but if im focusing on my WRs, it should take me back to WRs only . Gets old having to go back and fourth so much to quickly find who i really want to spend XP on.

9- Customizable Draft board. One that once set, if owner can not make draft , it forces the CPU to start at the top of the list , and work its way down, If player at #1 isnt available at first pick , then it goes to #2 , if he isnt there, then # 3 . Now on top of that, I think it needs even more customization than that. Lets say , i have 2 1st round picks. no 2nds, and a 3rd .I by looking at my teams needs, want the best CB i think is there at my first pick, and the best HB that is there at my second pick ( in first round) . Let us set it up that way. Let me tell it , i want CB first pick, so it goes thru my draft board, and finds first listed CB, if he isnt there, It scans down to the next CB i have listed until it finds the highest CB i have still available. Then with my second  first round pick, it does the same with the HBs i have listed. This is the customization we need in a real draft board. Allow the option also pick ” any position,top player ” so if in later rounds we dont care what position , just want the one that is left on our board the highest up.

10-Weekly wrap up with videos. Look 2k did it a decade ago on much lesser consoles. Surely Madden can manage this now. Heck even let owners , after their weekly game, “upload” a highlight after the game to the “weekly wrap up” with the click of a button in the highlights page after the game . Let us view the Weekly wrap up after each advance. To see the plays from last weeks games . Even allow the option to upload the weekly wrap up to youtube for our leagues that use websites, Sure would be nice to have that on our webpages.

11-The ticker at the bottom of the screen during a game, should only show stats, scores, injuries, etc from that particular CFM. If a game is live, give live updates to scores, if nothing else, at end of each quarter of that game .Let the ticker , show us whats going on in our cfm , just like the ticker for real NFL games shows that only about the NFL. Give leaders of the week, like top 5 in passing, rushing, receiving , sacks, ints, etc. As well as scores.

12-Bring back Live Weather. In a past madden, it was linked to the weather channel. Whatever the real weather was , in the city of the game you were playing in , at that very moment, was the weather you had to play that game in . Please bring this option back, include it for CFM commish to select it as an option for all games in the league.

13-Add in the app from NBA LIVE, where it lets you scan your face. So we can put them on our coaches in our CFMs, and even let the people we are playing  , see our coaches face , not some random face as it was in madden 13 or 25 when we had gameface, but only i could see mine.Let everyone in league see them.#comeonman

14-About resigning players thru the season. Only allow a certain number of times a player can be offered. Like week 5 , week 8 , week 13, then once in offseason . Only allow one time per week its open to offer.Instead of allowing guys to go in , and just start super low, and keep offering alittle higher about 10 times in 1 week until they find the lowest point the player will resign for. Make it much more a chance they wont resign , by cutting down how many times one can offer . This would force people to offer what the player is wanting or more without being able to cheap skate them as much. Thus making FA bidding much more robust.

15- Fix the challenge system all together. Half the time i cant even pick challenge play  , when clearly the guy was in bounds, or didnt get the first down, or did , etc. I hate when i see a bad call , and the option to challenge is locked out.

16- Player contract resigning-  Players should not have their asking price based on their overall rating. 1 reason is because if you keep their awareness down until just before you resign them, their overall is lower as is their asking price, but still beasts of players. They need to be asking their asking price based on their production from their time in the league. Now if they havent had a great career of lots of good stats, but the year of their renewing they have a great year, they should still be asking for a high price for that position . It needs to be a way to have the players ask their price based on their  production for the team, just like in real life.

I would like to see created coaches able to come out of retirement when users rejoin a league or want to switch teams. should be a way to allow a user to keep all his stats, xp legacy etc with said coach in an given online cfm

for madden 17 referring to daddyleagues specifically... i'd like to see half sacks and assisted tackles tracked in box scores. the box scores currently read T-A and this is not reflected in the actual box score. instead daddy leagues only ports over solo tackles. solo tackles and assisted tackles should be tracked. or just track total tackles. also would be nice to track some financial stats. like highest paid defense. highest paid offense. etc

I would like to see the season stats of the players entering the draft in CFM

BRING BACK TEAM PLAY!! NBA 2K IS KILLING WITH THE MULTILAYER MODE . I KNOW IT WON'T HAPPEN BCUZ EA IS STUCK ON THIS DUMB MUT MODE BCUZ THEY MAKE MONEY OFF OF IT. GAME ALREADY UNREALISTIC AS HELL DEVELOPERS BUILD THIS THIS GAME BUILT ON ANIMATIONS ONLY AND U CAN TELL THEY'VE NEVER PLAYED A DOWN OF REAL FOOTBALL IN THEIR LIVES! MIGHT HAVE TO PUT MADDEN DOWN AFTER DECADES OF PLAYIN THE GAME. ATLEAST GIVE THE COMMUNITY SOMETHING FUN OUT OF IT

For Daddylesguues:

- ability to see player traits om roster like attributes
- ability to draft from website for people away etc

For EA:

- fix issue of manual defender impeding the receiver with no penalty.  Or let the receiver go through himself it's not a press/release situation

- bring back the good mobile companion app that let you manage roster etc (not the half assed ps4 attempt the old one from PS3 was good)

- draft board that is intelligent to represent the absent CFM owner at draft.   Set your own board.   Don't take 2 qb when we need 1.   

- allow global formation subs for CFM in main menu.  So you can insert a player to a particular formation for the season.   This used to be present on PS2 and in NCAA

Forwarding stuff from the members in my league.

Things we would like to see in DaddyLeagues:

Career Wins/Losses per user (spanning multiple seasons). Would be good to display something on each members page such as:

Total Record (Spanning multiple madden titles)
Madden 16 Wins/Losses
Madden 17 Wins/Losses

People in my league also want to be able to track their record vs DaddyLeagues username. Ie. in our league we often swap which teams we own each madden... Would be cool to see if i was like 8-4 vs someone in total over multiple titles, irregardless of which team they were the owner of, so we could carry on that rivalry...

Also the ability to complete a CFM Draft off the PS4 (ie. via Web Browser) would be awesome, but thats probably more a Madden change than a DaddyLeagues change...

1)  A Better Mobile App w/ the ability to put people on auto from my laptop or phone.  Annoying to have to log on just to do that.

2)  Fix the QB drop back, its been about 20 years of QBs dropping back 20 yards and throwing 60 yard bombs, fix it already

3)  Fix Shading, it used to work, now it "kinda sometimes maybe if you're lucky works", so many corner routes that should be stopped

4)  The 3 man sacks, rushing 3 blocking w/5 and sack, rushing 6 blocking 5, they all somehow get blocked and blitz gets beat, everyone just drops 8 all game because of this

5)  Eliminate tosses, they don't work in the NFL but somehow a bunch of them outflank the defense everytime in Madden

Things I would like to see in Madden 17:

Ability to customize formation subs before your game-
I waste too much time on defense setting formation subs and not enough time picking my plays. That is one less thing I would have to worry about during the game and we all know we have plenty of time in between games to do this.

Draft Board:
At the very least, let us customize a draft board in CFM. It is nearly impossible for all 32 teams in a league to draft for two hours so give us the option to pick the players we want.

Live Draft from the Companion app:
I've always wanted the option to draft through the companion app. This would be the most desired option and it would be made even greater with the draft board. That way, if you miss your pick it takes the top player on your board.

Better Accessories:
The accessories on Madden 16 are awful. Many of the accessories like the bulky ankle tape has been in the game since NCAA and Madden 05. Here is a list of some of the things that I would like to see:
-Ability to have sleeves be on one side:
Think RG III, he has one long arm sleeve on his left arm.

-Shooting sleeves:
A lot of football players are starting to wear shooting sleeves in football. Let ballers be ballers!

-Newer shoes:
We've had the same style of shoes in madden for a few years now.

-Ability to customize Home and Away appearances
I know this is a stretch but it would be cool to have two different styles for home and away.

Forgot a couple.

Post draft results. Would be nice to see the entire draft list after the draft to see who picked whom easily.

Play off scenarios. Once you get to half way point, there should be some sort of playoff section to keep track of whos in/out.

The more I think of some of these and read suggestions, it's amazing how much EA leaves out. I think it shows they really do put MINIMAL effort into CFM.
