Looks amazing, cant wait to try it out.

Regarding the slider, it's great news that EA is deciding to add customization to CFM. It's acknowledging that a one size fits all approach won't satisfy everyone, and could be a sign of things to come for '17.

My first thought was that I cant wait for A&S to come up with a suggested slider for progression, but I think it's actually better for each league to figure it out on their own. In contrast to gameplay sliders where you want to replicate NFL stats, NFL progression is a nebulous concept subject to a wide array of realistic outcomes. Luckily I dont think it will be too difficult to get it right after running a couple of test seasons.

Great that safety speed was looked at in addition to WR/CB.. Assuming they bumped S speed up ofc...!

There were several hundred fixes in the patch. They certainly didn't list all of them in the notes.

Noted by Rex on Twitter.

Sweet! They nailed a lot of the glitches, and some that I wasn't certain were glitches.

Looks to me like an off-line franchise isn't worth starting over?

First things first, great update.

Second, when someone has a chance, can they comment on whether the XP slider makes it worth having to play an online CFM instead of an offline one? I like the ability to play as multiple characters, which as far as I know I can not do in an online CFM, so just curous.

Thanks again to Rex and the team for a good update.

In regards to:

Tuned generated rookie wide receivers’ speed to better align with the rest of the game.
Note: This fix will work for existing offline leagues that don’t already have that season’s rookie draft class created; fix already applied to online leagues.

At what point in the season are draft classes created? I am in week 8 of my first season. Will this fix apply to my current offseason?

Thanks.

That's a pretty comprehensive title update.

I find the concept of XP sliders in CFM intriguing. I wasn't personally having issues with the rate of earned XP before, to be honest, but that's definitely something that will be fun to play around with, and obviously will be very useful for those who didn't think the game was rewarding enough XP in its default state. I'll be interested to see what the slider people think is the "best" configuration for these.

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

So happy that they addressed AI controlled pass rush. I hated that the only way for Von to be effective was for me to user him

NFL pocket is a dangerous place. I would watch streams of my league and go crazy at all the times I could do a "one thousand" count up to 4 seconds without a single pass rusher shedding a block. Hope it's realistic now and guys have to use additional blockers against good pass rushes

The XP slider is a great addition considering how many people have issues with XP. Glad to see the devs listening to their community. Doesn't affect me but still happy to see it

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

I'm concerned about them tuning the deep zones. They weren't great and did need adjusting, but I'd hate to see the deep ball become too difficult to complete because you can never get behind the DBs, or the Safeties make up an enormous amount of ground.

For me it's just about balance. If I'm in cover 4 and not getting beat deep it's fine as long as the underneath stuff is open where it should be.
