Hot Mess. Don't Buy.
This is an absolute hot mess. EA has become infatuated with selling virtual football cards for hundreds of dollars and gimmicky drafts with dead and retired football players on Ultimate Teams, and in the process has destroyed the core game.
CFM mode fantasy draft is virtually useless. You are unable to sort by categories and higher overall rated players are rated less than the mysterious rating placed upon players by EA. This is worse than the so called perfect players. I am a JJ Watt fan but 99 in all categories? This is getting ridiculous. They've changed things that didn't need changing. Some VP at EA must've had their 12 year old nephew rate the players.
They are so enamored with one handed catches by receivers that the rest of the game doesn't work.
Case in point.
Just played game with Eli Manning after CFM fantasy draft. On 2nd and three Manning throws a 27 yard pass to Avant who catches and runs for 8 more yards. After great fanfare by Sims and company, the game cycles to the next play and its mysteriously 3rd and ten and the announcers are talking about how terrible the offense has been playing.
Later in the fourth quarter my DB intercepts a pass on the 1 yard line. Next play Manning takes the snap to throw from the end zone. The line holds, no one in the backfield. The play freezes and it says its a safety, and wants me to punt. Manning is standing there holding the ball.
Continually you select a play and when you go to choose a hot route, not only does the art disappear. But the play that starts is not one you've selected, and its not even in your list of audibles. The tight ends disappear. This is the worst Madden ever.
This list of wierdness could go on forever. Don't buy it. Go back to Madden 15 until they fix it.. Maybe 2 years from now. These are not small glitches. These are major problems. It is totally unplayable.
EA thinks that eye candy and one handed catches can distract you enough to realize that you can't even play the game.
