Road to CFP is the "Madden Franchise Mode" of this game. It's clear the devs haven't put much effort into it.
Examples are as follows:
1. No rollout for this mode, to include explaining to us how this mode actually works fundamentally. Since it's so different than what we're used to is Madden.
2. Can't Adjust and Save our Depth Charts and have them roll out into these games. Meaning we're stuck having to use a "pause" to set them up, and that's ONLY if our opponent allows us to do this and not let the 30 seconds clock runs out.
3. The same players in Dynasty have WAAAAAAY more abilities than they do in (regs) like this mode. You've even got the same players with the SAME abilities but with higher tiers in Dynasty.
4. Not having access to the FULL roster to play with. What makes this worse is that since this is college football, you've got bench players who are actually BETTER than the starters and even have (limited) abilities.
5. Not being able to change kickoff times. Which is crazy cause the beauty of college football is how the atmosphere changed for night games.
6. No real home field advantage. All the affects from home field don't apply in this mode. Which would in SOME way deal with the number one issue...
7. The Top teams are WAAAAY too OP. Not only in ratings, but these teams have a player with an ability at EVERY...SINGLE... POSITION. See my earlier comment about abilities not being the same as Dynasty Mode.
8. Since everyone wants to run with Tier 1 teams, when you search you're almost stuck having to play them. Since the lower tier teams aren't in the search queue. Where's the funeral in that?
Bottom line, there are way too many issues which are not only easily fixed, but should've been identified and addressed before launch. We're a month in now, and these issues are STILL there.
So yeah...clearly they don't care much about this mode. All the energy and effort was out into Dynasty Mode.
You'll forgive me if I don't hold my breath that these issues will be addressed.
