That might be true, but if it wasn't for franchise and cfm, there would be no MUT.

It really is sad. Rex & his team have developed a game mode which basically incorporates gambling and arcade football. Anybody who has played MUT will get my gambling reference. All the while neglecting the other game mode. The game mode that actually made Madden into what it is today. At least throw us some scraps. Lord knows you guys are making money hand over fist with your 100 dollar bundles and 30 dollar packs of digital cards.

We can all agree that gameplay fixes cut across all modes and make the experience better across the entire game.

Beyond that - how many times do we have to have the tired discussion based on a false premise? The MUT team and Franchise team are two fully-staffed groups comprised of entirely different sets of people. One doesn't have general-case priority over the other.

[timhere1970]

They cater to cfm during development of the game. They have done some good things. After release they chase revenue because they are a business. That means mut and arcade football. Once they have our money we are not of value to them until next year's game. Doesn't mean they don't care or don't want to do more but the company is run by suits not developers.

For me in the next patchapter the priorities should be.

1. Quarterbacks run the ball in football. To have the only nfl football game not have this makes the game a failure.

2. Punting worked decades ago. It ruins immersion when field position is altered in such an unrealistic way.

3. Qb accuracy. I dont have this problem because I don't play on All madden but to many it is catastrophic to their enjoyment of the game. The big reason I don't have the high completion rates is

4. Quarterbacks are too afraid of sacks. They are not trying to win a football game. They are trying to not get sacked. The throw aways as soon as a defender sheds a block has to be fixed. Seeing over 20 throw aways in a game is ludicrous. This is actally the issue that pisses me off the most when playing.

If these issues are fixed in a February path I will be very happy. If not this game will go down as a disgrace in madden series.

There is no betting in Ultimate Team. It's not gambling. In fact, one can play through all the MUT single-player challenges without spending a dime, and to that end the mode absolutely stands up on its own as a compelling experience.

Is the competitive experience pay-to-win more often than not? Absolutely; though there is the Salary Cap option to mitigate that some, you have no argument from me on that. It's still not gambling, though. Pay to win is not gambling.

if half of those are fixed, I'll be happy, if all of them, I will be ecstatic.

I just don't agree that they cater everything to the MUT players, I looked over the patches and there were fixes to CFM and game play.

CM- The CFM people won't change until they actually see the title update in February and see what it addresses.

[Palm Bay Pro]

CM Hoe you obviously haven't posted on many MUT forums then. The general consensus among most MUT players/posters i have came across say its gambling. Go to any MUT forum and ask the players if they feel MUT incorporates gambling.

Punting issue & QB Acc are broken since, what, 3-4 months now ? And they never fixed it but when a bug/issue/etc affect the MUT game (like the QB freeze), they instantly pop out a patch.

Honestly, I don't have any expectations for the February patch. But wait & see.
