Let us know what you're seeing!

UPDATE: Here are the official Madden NFL 17 patch notes:

Fixed a gameplay issue where the player on defense could tell if the opponent was going to run or pass
Client-side fix for the bug where you could see ratings of the upcoming draft class prior to the draft (server fix already applied to Cloud Franchises)
Reduce the amount of strip-tackle attempts made by the CPU
Fixed a major desync which was happening when a user went from Skills Trainer to Online (happened fairly often after the new-user flow)
No passing icons on PA, Force defender tuning, nano detection system tuning, users not getting stamina penalty when meter depleted
Force defenders not dropping back vs. run when in zone coverage; Play Action desync; Fumble frequency in MUT solos.
Lots of high priority gameplay fixes that includes:
- Stripping the Ball from behind the ball carrier is overpowered - We found a bug where the defender was getting multiple rolls at causing a fumble per animation
- Occasionally on Play-Action passes, the user would be unable to throw the ball
- Play-Action Pass Desync Online Head to Head Desync
- MUT Online - Fixed an issue with Cowboys uniforms that could result in a 'white on white' situation
- Acquisitions Screen showing rookie/free agent ratings before the draft - fixed
- Fixed a crash that would occur in the Guantlet after making an interception in the Big Man Rumble challenge
- Occasionally, users were triggering 'Nano Detection' when successfully using the 'Off the Line Mechanic' on RT as a pass rusher
- Occasionally, users would lose all pre-play functionality when selecting a defensive linemen while breaking the huddle
- Occasionally, user would see defensive plays disappear in the playbook screen after selecting an audible during the previous play
- Fumbles occurring too frequently in MUT solos where the CPU-controlled team started with the lead
- Force Players will be better at containing the edge once they get engaged
- Force player will be faster in breaking out of Read and React and into Force
- Cover 1 plays were sometimes not aligning to Trips formations correctly
- Occasionally, offensive linemen would run to the end zone and not block when running no huddle repeatedly in Draft Champions.
- When Force players on the playside of any non-counter runs had a zone coverage assignment, they would drop back into coverage at the snap - this has been fixed
- Fixed a Crash in Franchise mode that would sometimes occur in Franchise mode Practice during goal completion

But don't Play Now and Practice Modes play different than CFM?

Maybe I'm alone on this but I really really dislike needing the cpu trying to strip the ball....for the first time I could remember the defense always felt like they were doing whatever they could to get the ball back, very aggressive, it was scary lol but finally realistic, all the other years it would be so so easy to hold a lead running the clock and the ball, very rarely I would lose a fumble and this year felt so real with the aggressiveness....even if how were losing and trying to get into scoring range it finally felt the ai was trying to win the game defensively. I don't know....I hope in end game scenarios they still do this but I'm doubting it will. People complain about the difficult REALISTIC changes that were made. I honestly don't think we will ever get that full SIM game guys. Its so close....

Outside runs already to easy on default AP, this concerns me.

That's seems to be what people think. Makes me wonder if they do all the testing outside of CFM which is why sometimes the uodatds don't carry over. I don't know.

I'll have to look at how bad it's nerfed before really forming an opinion on it. I agree with you though that this is something I have loved about the game thus far. You have to use the cover ball when running in traffic because the CPU will actually and realistically strip the ball. It's kinduv like the WR drops, which have been realistic and great IMO, but people get mad when they have to change the way they have to play even if its for the sake of a much more realistic game.

RAC catch drops will be fixed in the next patch

# 49 RogueHominid @ 09/02/16 11:06 AM

Man, that was fast!

Props to them for rolling out some support so quickly. I haven't even learned all the skills trainers yet...

This would be awesome!

Patch installed.

Going to test things out. And I will be streaming.

# 52 L_O_B_27 @ 09/02/16 11:11 AM

I'm in year 3, and some how Kaepernick shredded my pass defense throwing nearly 80%, but he never scrambled at all.

Dude just kept dinking and dunking down the field.

Didn't help I was just getting absolutely stonewalled.

Did you DL the patch? Did you blitz? Did you adjust to play underneath coverage?

Well I just asked Rex and he said it should work no matter what mode you're playing in.

Any mention of being able to use other teams playbooks in offline franchise's and being able to do formation subs? I 52 hours for my download to complete so I won't be checking for a while.

Can someone ask Rex about this please? I'm stuck in work

# 58 Find_the_Door @ 09/02/16 11:26 AM

Wonder if they corrected the fairly common glitch that occurs after you bump into another player as the ball carrier and can no longer sprint at full speed anymore?

# 59 ChicagoChris @ 09/02/16 11:26 AM

Watching this twitch stream and Rex is on fire.

This is considered a 'small' patch. Next patch is the "big" one with several hundred fixes.
