Madden NFL 16 Title Update #1 Available Now, Roster Update Scheduled For Friday

Re: Madden NFL 16 Title Update #1 Available Now, Roster Update Scheduled For Friday

I simmed a season pre-patch Mariotta took a huge drop in overall. As I was looking through his attributes I saw his AWARENESS had dropped down to 4 in one season which was the number 1 cause of his overalls dropping so drastically. I just simmed a season and Mariotta dropped from 60-55 AWARENESS. Reloaded and simmed again and he dropped from 60-57, so seems that crazy regression issue was fixed.

I am really disappointed that they didnt fix the RESIGN issue. You still cannot resign your players until OFFSEASON and you have 1 chance to sign them.




The moral to the story is, this will be the last time I purchase Madden new. I will wait a month or so after release date and let them get all the bugs worked out before I bother. If they want to release unfinished products so they can meet deadlines, that is up to them, but I won't be one of those throwing money at them to do it.

What resign issue? I thought the issue was players resigned too cheap? I have less issue if they decline an offer and want to test market tbh. I guess I'm unaware you cant resign during season since in my trial run I had reached a deal with a player or two in season.

Thank you. I just don't understand why nobody has checked this yet.

My feelings exactly.

100% agree. People are just assuming that is what EA is going to do on Friday with roster update. EA has not said nothing. Go download via roster share there are great rosters there that already have everyone updated and you can now start your CFM with the patch. With everything EA has done and we all know EA you really think they are going to basically re rate a majority of the players speed to match up with Draft Classes in CFM??? Would be nice for EA to just come out and say what's up. But if there not saying anything don't get your hopes up it's an easy question to answer and they've actually been answering a lot via Twitter and prefer not to answer that. I say if your debating....don't wait for another patch thats crazy...start it up!! (Also with Donny Moore out as roster guy the new guy doing them made a point to drop down the speed this year)

Maybe you missed the part where a large portion of users can't download via roster share?

Well, I just offered TE Thompson (who was actually cut by the Titans and wont even be in the updated roster) 3.7mil and a 2mil signing bonus and he was only asking for 2.4mil for 2 years and he won't sign. At the end of the season I offered him what he asked for and he instantly signed. I had to offer WR Wright 15mil +5mil signing bonus for 1 year to get him to sign. He was asking for 3 years 4mil. My mistake if that is working properly.

Oh I forgot to add, they didn't fix that the CPU Pass Block slider keeps reverting to default, even if you adjust it or import your slider settings.

Does anyone think Amazon will allow me to return this game for a refund based on the CFM game mode being so glitched? I feel upset I was duped into buying the game new this year. (I usually wait a month or two for patches and buy it used)

Technically it's not glitched, it allows you to play multiple seasons as intended, just with some issues. Stop acting like you can't play the game.

My guess is , for some reason , they actually made it that way on purpose and thus it wont be patched. Is it realistic , not at all, but , well , ill leave it at that.

Is this really an issue or is it something that only happens for certain players, i.e. those who would be big time free agents?

I ask because I've played around some in a pre-patch online CFM as the Bills and I was able to negotiate and resign all of my players accept for Dareus.

Everybody else in the final year of their deal I was able to negotiate with week 1, including highly rated players in the final year of their rookie contract as well as veterans on a 1 year deal.

Only Dareus was unable to be resigned immediately. I assumed that was by design since he's one of the top players at his position and would be more inclined to test free agency.

I'm not certain, I've always questioned in sports titles what the factor in signing really is. In many games the logic behind final value signing is confusing.


I'll have to try this again when I'm home, maybe I missed something. I thought the only issue was always to do with star players signing for dirt cheap.

Tend to agree, most sports titles all younger players develop into a usable player. Few become RG3 and regress almost immediately. It'd be nice to know if this is by design, if so the label "bust" may be a term in madden.

Re: Madden NFL 16 Title Update #1 Available Now, Roster Update Scheduled For Friday

I went and did a quick test of the LT regression problem by bumping up the PBK and AWR of Greg Robinson and Jake Matthews to see what would happen.

Robinson - 88 PBK - 90 AWR
Matthews - 85 PBK - 86 AWR

After season 1 Mathews only played 12 games but gave up 11 sacks. Robinson played 16 and gave up 26.

ratings at end of season
Robinson - 72 PBK - 95 AWR
Matthews - 83 PBK - 90 AWR

I need to go back and look at the traits and do the test again because the results are not what I expected.

Fix the game and more complaints roll in.....

I've only been able to resign players in week 1, or the offseason. From 99-60 rated players I can't sign them no matter how much money I offer them after week 1.

That sounds similar to my experience but I didn't attempt to resign a star myself. The only issue I have with what the original poster stated is youre only given one change post season. Semi realistic but often times in the case of Randall Cobb this year, those discussions are ongoing and go all the way to the wire. Perhaps its by instance and age/overall/etc are taken into consideration.


Why Wright would've wanted so much from him I cant explain. I want to test tonight for sure.

Is no one going to talk about and discuss the drive goal bug? Has it been tuned? Is it still a problem in CFM? Anybody seen anything yet?
