Previouse play Info, Hotroutes removed

Why has EA removed these hings

Previous play information

- only allowed to see on offence why ?

Hot-routes

- why has this information been removed ?

A lot of sim leagues use both these things to make their leagues more enjoyable and stop people running the exact same plays and hot-routes all game, Sim leagues used these data points to do this, EA put in no penalties for running same play over and over and over and DB's get fouled by the same play 5 times in a row realistic 🙂

why have you removed them, can you put them back?

  • That's going to ruin a lot of franchises. Why remove a part of the game people use. 

    Now it's just run the same plays. Very realistic for franchisr

  • Very disappointing,  being able to see what plays were made on offense and defense was really a very important part of the Madden game for me. As for the hot routes its going to cause alot of issues for Sim leagues surely this should be up to the leagues.

  • Got to agree with this.

    Being able to see what previous play was called on offense allows CFM Moderators to check that players are not calling the same play too often. Some plays are OP and ensuring that players use a variety of offensive plays keeps the game realistic: a very important part of most Franchise Leagues.

    This is also why Hot Routes need to be monitored. Many CFM leagues limit the amount of Hot Routes that can be called on any given offensive play and the ability to see how many have been called is vital.

    Sort it out EA. You release enough patches post release to add this to one of them.

  • This is a huge hit to CFM ...they added some great stuff but losing this feature hurts a lot. Makes it hard to police a sim league. I feel many leagues will lose members because they feel all people will call is money plays and it’s to hard to tell if it’s the same play 

    for all my fellow commishes if you get complaints on a specific member more then once I suggest you make it mandatory they stream that’s what I’m implementing for guys who are suspect play callers if they won’t stream remove them .

    Definitely need this added back in, is core functionality for franchise leagues. Seems pointless removing a feature that likely had little to no adverse impact before???

    Please reintroduce this. The reason many people play CFM is to get away from those who spam the same plays over and over again

    Hey all,

    With a month of play since this post was originally posted, do you all feel the same way? Do you see players spamming the same plays repeatedly in franchise mode?

    I can't speak for Franchise mode, but I am truly missing seeing the last play in Online H2H on the defensive side of the ball.  I'm baffled as to why the decision to leave it in on the offensive side but remove it from the defensive side.  It truly presents an unfair advantage for offenses, similar to if the communication system went down for one team in real life... 

    Add it back PLEASE!!!
