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

Are only LT's regressing? If that's the case I wonder if simply changing them to RT (even if they're playing LT) would make a difference?

I've seen a couple LG regress but not like the LTs. There were a few RT too but I think they were playing LT.

Was enjoying default all madden before the patch but now it's back to all madden cheese.

Pre patch the cpu was tough to beat but it could be done, now I've played 8 games since downloading the patch and my defenders are just inept. They won't try to to play the ball or the man unless I manually switch to them, zone defense is worse then before as now guys just allow guys to catch the ball before even moving, safety play is suspect they will turn the wrong way on deep balls and sometimes no even play over the top, cpu wideouts are bringing down carches with 3 defenders around them.

Pics or it didn't happen.

nothing officially has been stated (that i've seen), that they are going to adjust speed in the roster.

it has however been speculated early in this thread that perhaps they would adjust vets in the roster update, and that speculation coming from an old video, where at the 8:46 point they state that they can in fact adjust speed ratings.

besides that there is no word that it is in fact going to be adjusted.

i'm planning on starting my cfm at 10:30 pm tonight unless i hear otherwise.

perhaps someone else has better info, but i've been following the thread pretty closely. please correct me if i'm wrong, i'd like to know for sure.

I pretty much on that boat im just going to start mine today

1. Yes, I do have such data. I use it for my website. Perhaps you have heard of it? EA has.

2. Who said I had a sample size of ten veterans? I have a sample size of 71207 players dating back to 1999 from many different levels and leagues, including the NFL obviously.

3. If you want to get into it about Moss, let's do it. Here is what my data shows as his 40 times from year to year since 1998.

1998 (age 21): 4.28
2008: (age 31): 4.35
2013 (age 36): 4.41

In that time span he played 16 seasons and lost .13 seconds on his 40 in that time. That is an average of 0.008 seconds per season. However, in his first 10 seasons (1998 to 2007), his 40 didn't drop at all. He lost 0.07 in 2008 then stayed at 4.35 until 2013 where he fell of again to 4.41 where he is currently at until he is reevaluated.

4. As I stated several times on these boards, EA needs to incorporate the split times in order to fully calculate SPD, ACC, and STA. Only with the splits can you determine the cubic function necessary to determine maximal velocity and rate of acceleration identical to every player.

Actually, Randy's 1998 combine time was 4.15 seconds; it's documented here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Moss and about a dozen other places. That doubles your rate from .008 to .017 per year. Now we are 3 times higher than your stated average for one of the best athletes the world has ever seen, with no serious leg injuries throughout his career. That equates to a 0.17 second drop in 40 times over the same time period. Depends on the data you want to use- but 0.005/yr. is ridiculous for RB's and WR's.

Did u just quote Wikipedia for "specific" information? I think we can all agree that isn't the best source of exact info as anyone to add to this information..second I would be more likely to believe Dan's data from NFL scouts

It's not. Patch touched nothing game play wise and the game plays exactly the same before and after for me.

Please leave the debates about the merits of FBGratings out of this thread, there are other places to discuss what Dan is doing for the Madden community, such as these three threads:

The topic of this thread is the first title update for Madden NFL 16 and we'll be staying on that topic here.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Don't know if this is a thing AP carry dropped 11 points 83-72 after 1 season

Just at a glance it looks like he is the only one that went down this much.

Also he had 1500 yards 12 TD 7 fumbles

Frank Gore had 7 as well but he retired so could not check.

I am not getting this bug.

PS4 never have seen this at all.

Just curious I'm seeing a slightly different bug in an online CFM in that I can't see the defensive holding slider it just resets to 50. Are you saying you can do this?

Im glad Looman and one other guy worked on confidence and regression all year long now....

That is certainly a bug. I can't adjust that slider to anything as it always resets back to 50.

I hope that is on the punch list for the next major patch.

Dumb question: how do you download the patch on PS3? It didn't prompt me to download on startup and I didn't see it in the downloads section. Thanks.

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

I think I may have found the solution to the LT issue but I need someone else to test to verify. It appears that the issue is two-fold.

1. The LT ratings start a little low for some players
2. QB Sense Pressure and Throw Away traits cause them to take more sacks

I changed Nick Foles to Ideal and Yes in those two traits along with the Ratings boost from before to Robinson and the results are what you want to see.

Robinson played 16 games and gave up 5 sacks. Foles played 16 games and was sacked 22 times. Up to a 93 PBK & 97 AWR

I did the reverse for Matt Ryan and gave him oblivious and No in the two traits.

Matthews played 16 games and gave up 28 sacks. Ryan only made it through 11 games and was sacked 34 times 69 PBK and 92 AWR

For fun I did the changes for Winston since he always leads my sims in times sacked. No changes to his LT. Played 16 games sacked 34 times. He even progressed to a 87 in one season.
