CFM: Tips, Tricks, and Strategies to Build a Dynasty
Connected Franchise Mode is the best way to follow the real experience of building an NFL franchise over multiple seasons while following the full calendar from preseason through the draft. This year, the experience is faster than ever before, but is also deeper for players who want to dive in and control every aspect.
If you have ever been too afraid to take the reins of your favorite team, this is the year to get involved with CFM! The CPU will help you get started quickly and will help manage all your day-to-day operations. While many players love playing with their friends in an online franchise with up to 32 total users, a good portion of players still like to play offline with CPU opponents. Why not give both a shot?
