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

I´m glad people are starting to see this as well. I was so happy when playing play now games that i tweeted Clint and rex that this was the best madden in years. Then i started a CFM and i was so disappointed to see all the good things i had on Play now gone. User QB not missing passes, OL pancake DL (LT Albert something was 89) and RE was 85 and he still pancake him several times.

It started ok, but then it was a snowball. I´m wondering how hard it can be to have the same game on Play now as CFM? why? why? so close yet so far.

This was all pro default btw.

I'm not sure everything you're experiencing is related solely to CFM. I've had Jason Witten get 13 pancakes in a Play Now game.

I've only played one CFM game so far and it played pretty close to normal, even though Tom Brady seemed a bit skittish early on. He was sacked 4 times in the game, all in the first half. One user sack. One corner blitz that got free clean. The other two were pressured where he rolled to the right into a sack. He scrambled up the middle once. He later reverted to Tom Brady form; took zero sacks, zero attempted scrambles in the second half.

I missed/overthrew open receivers with Big Ben and Brady missed as well. But, if you're saying that eventually the confidence boosts will make everyone unstoppable, that will be a crushing blow.

Man, we need an OFF switch for all of this Drive Goal stuff. It wasn't fully fleshed out and should have been shelved until all/most of the potential issues could be fully recognized.

As an offline solo player, the game played beautifully out of the box. The slight issues I had were easily remedied with small incremental slider tweaks. I'm afraid every subsequent attempt to fix things that are being affected will eventually result in this game going NBA2K 15 and being unplayable by the final patch.

Agreed, EA literally did not need to do anything in game wise regarding game play this year. Loved it all around. It was the XP mess and sim stats that were dead. That tuner never needed to happen IMO.

I agree, gameplay was fine. I saw zero need for any tuning. Fix the CFM issues and other odd related things like regression, progression, sim stats, etc. Leave the gameplay how it was on launch day!!

Rex turn the tuning back to launch day, then fix CFM!!! Also if you can answer Rex, why is Play Now and CFM gameplay different? Its also hard to doubt that claim when for years practice mode played different than play Now, so I 100% believe this still exists but in the Play Now vs CFM environment.

Side Note: If I could offer another piece of advice, bring in Dan Berens for ratings!!!

Hi

Sorry i forgot to mention, yeah you would see some high Pancakes blocking from WR and TE, maybe FB too. But OL who are the one that are actually tracked along the season you are not on play now. ON CFM, the first few games will be similar to what you see on Play now between 1 to 3 pancakes. After a few games were you get over 60/70 confidence, you will rarely miss a throw and your OL will start getting pancakes like crazy. I´m on week 4 and i lead the NFL LT and C on pancakes. Also i´m not throwing erratic passes anymore. My QB is already on the 90 confidence and the whole team (most of it) are green + with confidence over 75 and more. we are 2-1 and they feel they already won the SB.

I don´t get it who ideas was it? i mean you can´t lose confidence on this game. on the first game Tannenhill had 2 TD and 2 Picks and he didn´t get any confidence lost. He even lost that game for Christ sake. Make no sense.

So enjoy the first few games, then it will be a snowball and games became easier and unrealistic and arcade.

I´m really mad and sad about this. I don´t know how to play now. i was thinking on tweaking sliders but at what point? players perform ok when confidence is in the 50. Should i set different sliders for different confidences moments' one for confidence 50, other when confidence 75? is crazy.

Would it help to re-set confidence to 50 after every game? Or when your team gets too high to go back and reset?

Second run of no tuner offline franchise. This time Greg Robinson down to 38 pass block after year one. Couldn't run year two because my character got fired. Presumably for continuing to start a left tackle who allowed more than 3 sacks per game.

I don´t think i can do that on Offline CFM. If so how? I read that it will reset all players below 50, but not those higher. I would like to check, where i can find that option?

EDIT: not it won´t work

“The commissioner can boost all players on a given team to 50 at any point in time. It’s not limited to the preseason. Players with conf above 50 keep their current value. It’s like the other commish commands such as clearing cap penalties.” – EA SPORTS

There is. Well kinda. If you control 32 teams for some reason there are no drive goals. I am 100 on this cause when I did it week one no drive goals for the first 3 games. I had to turn all users to auto pilot to get them back on. So it was a nice find on my part. Shocked no one that does 32 teams caught this btw.

I´m going to try this i guess. as last resort. So confidence never moved? but i have to control all 32 teams? that is a HELL No lol

Hopefully i can set everything to CPU.

So seriously people, someone give some factual data or screenshots that confidence is still an issue in CFM?Giving guys big boosts or causing them to lose alot.... someone post real findings on this please, not just "its messed up"

Problem is that long time 32 team cfm advocate Armor and Sword says 32 team control cfms are buggy

Hi howboutdat,

first, on screenshot it doesn´t look that bad. That´s why i didn´t post any screenshots since as myself will say, hey that´s not bad. your player is 85 overall and it only increased to 88 in 3 weeks. 1 overall per game. Not that bad.

QB numbers are SA 88 MA 87 DA 61
With confidence increased to SA to 92, MA 90 DA 63 It´s only 3 or 4 rating boost (so far, he is 80 overall he can still increased).

The problem is on the field and i can´t show you a screenshot of that. The game plays the same as it was before teh patch. feeling that you can beat every player, your QB never miss a throw, your OL start pancaking DL like if they were DB.

To me personally, it seems like they tweaked the UI but the game behave exactly the same. Screenshots shows UI, so it will be pointless to post it.

EA fixed the UI, that´s for sure. but my QB is still throwing like when his accuracy was like 100+

I can show you my OL being on top of the NFL in pancakes if you want. that i can do.

Thank you sir. I know also that Foles traits for throw away and "pocket awareness"? We're no and whatever the opposite of trigger happy was too. I don't remember cams for oher. I might roll with this if we can get more testing done to see if it's minimized for some reason with no tuner and offline cfm.

Okay, so I understand correctly. Pick all 32 coaches, have the cpu fill rosters. Play your desired teams games and advance week and the cpu will sim the rest. No drive goals? Or no drive goal boosts? Or no drive goal pop-ups?

destiny doesn´t want me to play this game! come on! just give me a decent workaround for this confidence thing! I feel like im playing on All pro, and then after week 7 i get the difficultly reset to rookie. how i´m suppose to set a slider if the confidence thing change things so much?

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

So let me get this straight...the patch made the game worse, not better? Qb's no longer miss passes?

I sure am glad I didnt buy this game yet
