CCM Mode - 10 Areas for Improvement

Produced by: I_Peench

In the NFL, managing a successful organization is a balancing act. You have fan expectations, owner expectations, player expectations, morale, and finances to balance. Often times, too much success or too much failure results in this balance being thrown off. As a result, teams generally have trouble staying together for extended periods of time (Ravens, Giants, Patriots some of the successful teams that have had trouble hanging onto talent, while the Eagles and Chiefs are examples of the lesser successful teams having the same issues for different reasons).

I’ll start by saying that my single biggest issue with CCM mode is how easy it is to both build a team up, and keep a team intact. While you may be think that this theme is relatively unimportant, rest assured that there are dynamics to this theme that will encompass every major complaint I have with CCM mode (which, for the record, I love). Below I’ve organized 10 areas to realistically replicate this balancing act; in so doing, create the most realistic representation of a sports franchise to date.

The ten ideas that I_Peench has come up with resulted in the following: Expectations (Owner, player, fan and coach), Player Preference, Player Happiness, Team Morale/Chemistry, Contracts, Scheme implementation, Progression, Draft and Scouting, CPU AI and Details!
