You start with creating your avatar like NBA 2k.

I didnt think the customization features were that great.

I went and edited Marlon Mack and no mouth guard option

I'm not a big fan of creating the avatar. But to be fair, I didn't spend much time on it.

Thanks! Is create a coach the same in CFM? Player customization the same in CFM?

It is available for PC if you have Access Premier.


Not sure if its server load but these menu seem clunky as hell. I definitely get the impression they spent majority of their time working on Next gen but I guess we will see when that releases.


So far it feels very similar, the running plays at first glance aren't as OP as they were last year. They've tuned some of the money plays on defense, but barely theyre mostly still getting home against AI.



A very weird glitch I've had already 3x in one game when running. I will appear to break a tackle and then about 5 yards down the field I will go into the animation that they actually tripped me, but I was long free of the lineman.

See this is kind of what I am talking about. Older gamers like myself do not care about avatar. I have an avatar on my Xbox 360 and other devices only because my 8 year old likes playing on it and doing those silly things.

On the grand scheme of things, I know it is not that serious but in an era where you have limited resources, you have to use those resources wisely. Not one single person said "hey, man... this game really need avatars."

1st half over very early impression

Everything feels very similar other than the fact the cpu QB scrambled very very smartly and well.

1st half stats colts(me) vs philly(cpu)
All pro and simulation settings

No penalties
C Wentz
5 for 5 76 yards 1 td
J hurts
7 for 9 72 yards

J brissett
3 for 3 36 yards 1 td
P rivers
3 for 3 19 yards

Marlon Mack
4 attempts for 19 yards

CPU combinef had 5 attempts for 1 yard

1 sack each.

Frank Reichs sleeves clip with his arms and looks terrible. If they do the coach cut scenes a lot this year it will drive me nuts.
