Re: The Biggest Madden Patch Ever Arrives Today, New Mode and Various Bug Fixes

Well, maybe you can believe a experienced slider maker, this is from Josh C, what he has experienced with the big improvements of the patch game play wise:

A couple more thoughts after testing tonight:
CPU pass rush is definitely legit. I definitely felt the heat on many plays
Minimal tweaks should be needed to many slider sets.
WR/DB interactions look and feel less scripted. Good players made more catches in traffic than mediocre players
Line mis-matches seemed to play out more fluidly.
Big one....the QB scrambling issues with pocket passers also seemed to be resolved. Played against Matt Ryan (a notorious scrambler pre-patch). He took off once and it was on the goal line when everyone was covered and a hole opened up in the middle of the line (they were in spread). He scored the TD easily - thing of beauty.

Cool, good to read. And It's not that i don't believe, it's a matter of seeing why I'm not seeing It ( difficulty, formation, stunt etc.)

I'm on all madden and looking at a.i teammates.

I played the Falcons in my Bucs CFM today and didn't see Ryan scramble once. Now, he did roll outside the pocket to evade pressure, but never tried to run upfield.

To add on that point, something really cool with one of the plays Ryan broke the pocket was he had pressure coming right at him, so he threw off his back foot. The ball, intended for Julio Jones, came up short and was intercepted by my DB.

CPU pass rush definitely more agressive now, which I like.

The Biggest Madden Patch Ever Arrives Today, New Mode and Various Bug Fixes

Just played Cowboys (Me) vs Panthers (CPU) on default All-Madden.... Got my *** handed to me lol first time in a while the CPU gave me a beating

- AI pass rush teammates definitely more effective
- Inaccurate throws seem more common, missed a lot of throws with Romo
- Scrambling trait works accurately in Play Now, Cam took off a couple times, idk about CFM yet
- Got a nice win on a 50/50 ball with Dez

I'm disappointed that the note says it's for online only. Why would they do that?

I'm disappointed you didn't read the whole list

Interesting to hear the pass rush was one of the games biggest issues becuase the only way to get a lot of pressure was to have pass blocking really low but they you would have some plays where guys would break threw the line way to fast and you wouldnt have the right postion getting the pressure. WR/DB interactions felt great even before so I didn't think they could get much better. When it comes to the QB scrambling thing I never had the problem of pocket passers trying to take off before. I don't know why some people see that and another people don't but I never had that issue before. I did have the issue though that scrambling QB would like never take off and that was not a issue before the patch before this patch. After the last patch like no QB would try to run. So my question is with this patch do scrambling QB scramble again?

The defensive camera has been truly fixed like it played on Madden 15!!!!

Are there additional fixes since the last patch. I read that if you switch it is still broken.

I'm impressed that the dev team put almost all of the popular nano blitzs to death... wonder what the cheesers will come up with now???

Game feels and plays even better. Best Madden by far on the field ever made.

Thank you EA!!

No....the camera does not swivel all the way around where you lose track of the play. It is fixed and working like it did on Madden 15.

Play the game and find out. It pulls back if the ball is thrown....allows you to switch with no issues (even though I play no switch).

They tuned it back to how it played on M15. I played 3 full games and played defense exclusively from the defense cam (no player lock) and the camera is (no doubt about it) fixed now with this third patch.

Re: The Biggest Madden Patch Ever Arrives Today, New Mode and Various Bug Fixes

I am curious if anyone is in year two of an offline CFM and notices if the stat swipe bug (where your previous weeks stats show all zeros and compares your numbers from the current game being played) is fixed.

That was a nasty immersion bug. It works in year one fine but in year two it would just show zeros for everything every time they brought that stat comparison up and Jim Nance would be ripping you.

Thought it was fixed for a second, then later in the game, nope.

These are just highlights that automatically saved so I hope it's proof enough that things are better. I can honestly say that the pass rush was much improved for myself and the CPU. Linemen aggressively pursue the quarterback every play and there isn't as much "patty-cake" hand fighting.

What difficulty are you playing on. I am having shootouts on All pro default and I hate changing sliders due to the odd "change one thing it breaks another" deal sliders have

[BlackBetty15]

Re: The Biggest Madden Patch Ever Arrives Today, New Mode and Various Bug Fixes

I saw the exact opposite thing. I think some of this depends on the sliders you're using . In my test games, the o-line and d-line play looks improved. I have been seeing the right end get a lot more pressure than before the patch. That has always been a big complaint of mine.

What sliders and difficulty are using please. feel free to PM me so we dont clutter this thread with this

Re-read his post...it's right there, the very first thing he says. Default all-pro.
