QBs refuse to throw the ball away on All-Pro play now. The pocket presence is there. They roll out and avoid the rush perfectly, but instead of taking off or getting rid of the ball they just keep drifting to the sideline.

They're not generated at all.
All ratings/traits for every player in each of the 30 draft classes are already established.
The system just chooses a random draft class, but again, players are not generated at any time in a CFM.

That is false. All players are randomly generated, not pre-made random classes.

I am pretty sure I have seen the ball thrown away in at least once in the pre-season game.

CPU QBs have never thrown it away as much as RL ones generally do, and with (seemingly) improved QB play, they may be finding WRs before the have to. I definitely have NOT noticed them taking more sacks in "throw away" situations than before.

in that second one he started to wind up but got hit. May have even been trying to throw downfield, which explains why he stopped and planted. And the first one he was at least trying to squeak out some yards on the scramble.

Don't get me wrong, both bad decision by the AI. But when I first read your post I was anticipating QBs basically running out of bounds behind the line rather than throwing the ball away.

I wonder if maybe those QBs don't have the throw ball away trait, which is affecting them trying to string out the play rather than throw it away

My bad if I did a bad job explaining what I was seeing. In four post-patch games I played against the Bengals, Titans, Giants, and Cardinals. In three of the four games the QB pretty much held on to the ball until he was hit if no one was open every play. Mariota was pretty bad, but he did run a few times.
I am happy to admit that I may have spoke too soon. I just played against the Chargers and Philip Rivers did not hesitate to get rid of the ball when the rush began to close in on him. I think you're on to something Robo COP. It may just be the players playing to their traits and not a gameplay issue after all.
I'm gonna do some more testing before bed.

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

We were just sent word that the 'biggest (Madden) patch we've ever done' is going live today. The patch includes a brand new mode, Ranked Draft Champions, along with 'all kinds of bug fixes.'

We're efforting details on what all of this means and will update this post when we get them!

UPDATE #1: EA has posted a blog detailing the Ranked Draft Champions mode.

UPDATE #2: Here are the list of fixes in Patch 16.1

I still wish we could get rid of connected franchise/career mode. And just do normal GM mode or Player mode, etc etc, Where you can slide controller to cpu vs cpu or u can actually go into other teams games. and not just yours. LIke say i wanted to watch SB or Pro Bowl. And how sweet would it be in supersim mode where you could pick the play you wanted simulated. I know this does not seem very important to people,. I know mostly madden now a days is all about MUT and now the new Draft Champions mode which DC doesnt look to bad, im not huge on MUT,

but im thinking along the lines as those who like to be a coach type person, AAAHH reminds me... I wish we had normal coach mode on here like on NCAA 14, Human QB doesnt take off and run unless u make him, And u have to do the read options/options unless u auto lock onto someone else and then u miss the play cause u cant follow it. Just my 2 cents, I still feel at times the secondary is lost especially in zone, ill see guys leave Wrs and leave them wide open, Yes that can happen in zone coverage, but its like the CPU is content on going to their zone spots regardless of whats going on, I guess i could always check out of Zone and into man if i think its going to get killed in Zone,

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

Glorious that I can play Madden and get whipped by the CPU on default sliders. Not tinkering with sliders has definitely increased my enjoyment of this game. The other 2 games I play with minimal slider adjustments? MLB The Show and NBA 2K. To me, that says a lot about Madden 16.

Post patch i did my niner franchise, lost to the browns it was close by 7. but what stood out.. manziel and KAP throw 9 ints together, 5 by JM, and 4 by Kaepernick I think INT was around 35 on the slider and pass cov was like 70s, but still, i hadnt changed them from before and after patch, oh well.. every game is different,

I have been alil frustrated i dunno if its the setting.. sliders, or my team just isnt that good we are 1-12 im not getting blown out the issue is defense, im giving up 30 pts a game. i wish for once i could have a defensive punchfest, like 12-10 or 13-7 but no every game is around 31-24 38-28 etc etc i did have a shoot out 46-43, but ehh i like how every game is different. I JUST want the good players and teams to stand out and the bad players and teams to stand out. IF i have a good defense i want it to show that i do... etc etc and not just be random...

Just witnessed a CPU missed FG from 28 yds. I couldn't believe what I witnessed. Wide right.

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

I apologize if this has been mentioned but I am on the XBOX 1 and I wanted to start fresh with Madden so I uninstalled the game and then reinstalled it. The game was installed but I was never prompted to download a patch. Was the patch installed as I reinstalled the game? Also, when I loaded the game it showed that the game was loading my profile, sliders, and everything else that it loads when you start the game...so confused. I'm not even sure if my game uninstalled to begin with...Can someone please give me some advice on what to do? Thank you so much!

Right, there's no type of cue that you've uninstalled and reinstalled. I did the same thing last night and I'm even still able to continue where my last franchise game left off. You would think everything would reset. I have NO clue.

I myself last night just missed TWO extra points. I usually do not line kicks up and compensate by pushing left or right as I'm kicking to make the kicks difficult, well the wind was blowing left to right at 14 mph and I just went straight at it and the ball sails right. I was like did that just happen lol. Next xp and I did t adjust at all and it sailed on me again. Point is the wind actually works now and pre patch I had never had issues like that with wind effecting the ball, maybe I now just noticed but it sure seems to me like the wind plays a bigger role in the kicking game now. Longer fgs with that much wind would be a challenge even if I lined up the arrow or arc before snap.

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

Not sure about everyone else but to me the game plays less realistically than before the patch. I now see more one handed catches and big plays than before. I had my sliders nearly perfect before this patch now I can just throw it deep and complete a crazy catch with a trash wr or draw a PI.
