As it has been said multiple times throughout this thread, not all of the fixes were discussed in the patch notes.

There are way too posts complaining about things no one is sure of yet. Let some people do some testing for a day or two first.

Played a game, went and ran some errands, came back to play other game, and a tuner update was available, wonder was in it. I will play a couple more games and then comment about the update.

I believed strongly that fumbles were too much prior to this patch. If you think that's complaining that's on you.

I haven't played post patch so I have no idea how different it is but I was very frustrated before this patch with some things and had stopped playing.


If your QB fumbled 75% of the time you got sack then you got to do something different with your gameplay. Quit waiting until the last second to throw it or something. I haven't seen anything close to that high.

Watching a few more CPU games (with the same matchup) and I am seeing more instances of the pocket throwaway than I did in the first game, so I'll pull back on that observation for a bit. It's not happening as often as before, but it's still going to run some people the wrong way.

I do still feel like the scrambling's been tweaked though, as I'm seeing Cam roll out to the sideline 4-5 times a game, and actually running on some of those. It'll still throw an illegal forward pass at that point sometimes which is annoying though. Other times he'll find an open guy before he starts moving forward and chuck it on the run. It looks robotic because it's always the same routine, but it is effective. Even if the actual scrambles end up being less than real life in the long run, I'm satisfied as long as the threat exists, and that I have to account for it in my playcalling. And I'm definitely getting that sense from watching these games.

I don't see anything about adding any additional relocation team options for St Louis. Currently the only team name you can relocate with to St Louis is the previous team's name (i.e. Chargers, Cardinals, etc). Wonder if this is something that can/will be addressed. Want to bring a team back to the Lou but want to start fresh with new team name, logo, etc!

This. I have Dalton in an online CFM stock sliders All Madden and he has been strip sacked once.
 
# 107 bestbrother @ 10/04/16 01:32 PM
Do AI QBs run properly now? I may have missed it if this was fixed before as ive all but given up on the game.

I mean actual make a break for it, not just a gentle jog that accidentally sees them over the LOS and then move a bit. It was probably the only thing that I noticed (as a non hardcore NFL fan) that was a bug bear.

Watching Cam Newton have 20 yards of space in front of him, only to jog a little... go wide and then laser a pass wildly into the middle of the field, sucked out the immersion

That's an excuse imo. QBs do get sacked in real life and don't fumble that often.

Tannehill has been sacked a ton in real life. 44 times last year and had 10 fumbles. He's fumbled 9-10 times each of his first 4 seasons and was sacked on average 46 times. That's less than a 25% fumble rate. My fumble rate was 75% with Goff! That's crazy. Telling me I have to throw it early to avoid ever being sacked to avoid fumbling isn't realistic. Even if I do hold the ball too long 75% was way too high.

hes not saying 'dont get sacked' hes saying dont try and throw the ball at the last second - which is what causes the fumbles. and he has a point. Tannehill would have a lot higher fumble rate if he tried to throw it just as he gets hit rather then just taking sacks.

How many times are those QB's trying to throw as they are being hit though? If your arm is going forward to throw as the guy hits you what is the game supposed to do?

It's still going to look like that. The difference is I'm actually seeing him take off along that same route sometimes (I'd assume it's when he doesn't have a receiver open).

He's still going to chuck it if he finds a guy open while rolling out.

Fair enough but you are assuming I'm trying to throw on all those plays. That's not true either.

I don't want to derail this anymore. I personally had a big issue with this part of the game. You may have not. I'm far from the only one that was frustrated by this aspect. My main point was that my and other people's arguments about this shouldn't be summed up by Scott as "people just like to complain". I have stats that legitimately back up my point while your stats may show the opposite which is cool too.

Didn't see anything about it unless i missed it but what about scoring drives showing 5 plays/105 yards etc....hope its fixed.

Worth noting that Tannehill and Goff have carrying ratings of 61 and 57 on the default roster, respectively, both of which are below-average for quarterbacks in the default roster set (mean of 62.75, median of 63).

Meanwhile I finished a full season with Tony Romo (carrying rating of 50, well below the average for quarterbacks) with zero fumbles in passing situations. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Scrambling and QB sneaks were another matter, though.

I'm not just saying you aren't seeing it. I'm saying it's not changing. Myself and others aren't having the issue. So maybe you could learn how I'm not having an issue and adjust your play style. I legit like to help guys who struggle. Feel free to PM me any time. I'm no game master but, I'm not having 75% of my sacks be fumbles.

did they fix how there might be non RBs in the RBs spot on run plays?
 
# 117 ThatMichiganFan @ 10/04/16 02:00 PM
It says fixed stability issues with Formation Subs. Does this mean they'all all stick now? Won't be able to check for a little while.

Sorry to ask but do I need to start a new franchise with this update to take affect or will my existing one be fine with to keep going? Thanks
 
# 119 sebas49 @ 10/04/16 02:04 PM
I sim 1 season and noticed several players retire early...Before this patch, guys like Joe Staley, Carson Palmer, Evan Mathis, Vincent Jackson, Julius Peppers, Terrell Suggs, Elvis Dumervil, Jonathan Joseph play at least one more season (2017) before retire. Its just one franchise, maybe an exception, but i like to see what is feedback in this thread. Anyone else noticed this?

If you are doing an online CFM then there is definitely no need to restart, all updates and tuners are applied to online CFM

If it's an offline CFM then i have no idea. Sometimes they get applied and sometimes you have to restart
