Madden NFL 17 Patch 1.03 Available - Patch Notes Included (PS4, Xbox One)

Re: Madden NFL 17 Patch 1.03 Available Now - Here Are The Details (PS4, Xbox One)

People need to look at quarterback traits before complaining about quarterbacks not taking off. I bet Winston and Cutler are Pocket Passer or Balanced not Scrambler.

Even with non scrambling traits a QB should not stay in one spot bouncing for 4-6 seconds until sacked. There should be some effort to avoid sack even if they do not take off upfield.

Russell Wilson is absolutely killing me. He is scrambling around in the pocket, throwing off his back foot, throwing on the Run, throwing away from his dominant hand. It's almost like I'm watching him on Sunday

Since it explicitly states that this update doesn't require restarting your CFM, does that mean the next major patch might? Or has EA found a way to not require restarting?

anyone else notice the game would tell you a player was injured before the player on the field would act it out
i always thought it would be best to see the player injured then report it

I don't know about you guys but after this patch players seem to run a lot more fluidly. I was able to get Tavon Austin on end arounds and he would just burn the corners. Probably one of the best and most fun game I've played. Loving the patch. Russell Wilson was so active in the pocket and outside. If he rolled out I had to bring a linebacker up to contain him to prevent him from running and he would toss it to the guy my linebacker left him for.

I'm in my second game, and QB's are scrambling in Franchise Mode now. Faced a rookie QB in my first game, and now I'm facing Kellen Moore and we have him squirming. Looks to be fixed for me. I'll check out their traits when I get out of this game...

DAL QB: Evan Watt (Rookie)
Sense of Pressure: Ideal
This is a Superstar Dev QB who was chosen 10th overall in the 2017 Draft. He's 80 OVR, has a Balanced Style, good Throw on Run, etc. Not listed as a scrambler.

Kellen Moore, DET
Pocket QB Style
Throw Away
Average Sense of Pressure
Conservative Forcing Passes
Predictable Player
Balanced Penalty Bias

So, the two QB's I've faced post-patch aren't really scramblers, but were moving in the pocket, which is great. Whatever it was that seemed to stop QB's from scrambling or moving around post-snap is fixed for me. I'm looking forward to facing an actual scrambling QB to see what happens, because I still haven't seen a QB run past the LoS yet.

Well, DL the patch, Rebooted and then noticed quickly another patch was added, it was play call Adjustment patch. Anyone else notice this ? Then I went to see if any Tuning patch had been DL.. Looked in my DL section and I don't show any at all. No tuning file.

It had definitely made a difference but I don't know if I like it. Played three CPU vs CPU games. Three different teams against my Browns.. Never noticed any scrambles, Did notice more sacks, Running game didn't seem to change, In all three games each team had over 75 yds rushing at the half. Not one screen pass was called by any team.. Mostly over the middle passes, it was always 3rd and long and most passes attempted were for 20 yds or more, It did seem to tone down the long vertical pass a little.. BUT THE BIGGEST CHANGE WAS BLOCKS.. In my first game against the PACKERS. I blocked two of there punts and two field goals, they blocked 1 punt and a FG against me. In my 2nd game, there were three blks all together and two in my third but only played a half, was disgusted. Now it's back to the drawing board and try to redo the sliders.. It's becoming a never ending quest.

This game would be so much better if EA simply let you use Customs game plans for the CPU. Yes I know there is a way around it, but it is a pain and I don't want another e-mail address just to make a second profile.

This was cpu Cam Newton against me before the patch. I for one will be very happy if the patch fixed this.

So Wilson just started a scramble, saw he wasn't going anywhere, and tried to hit his guy on the run. Bad throw, picked off, but I'm just happy to see guys do stuff like that.

Wow, I never saw anything like that.

My variety of wackiness involved the CPU rolling out of the pocket, running to the LOS, then running parallel to the LOS until he ran out of bounds.

Makes you wonder how/why in the world different users see so many different things.

So they didn't fix where the left cornerback will often press with no help over the top resulting in easy TD's.

Idk what to say. So far the patch seems to have improved QB AI a ton. Maybe delete then reinstall.

Could just be the way people describe it. Some people might call a play scrambling out of the pocket, while others say the qb just moved outside the tackles. Their isn't many videos being shown so you kinda just have to rely on what others say they have seen.

Considering that the patch notes don't mention fixing qb scrambling decisions. I don't think anything has changed.

That's not really a bug, just the product of EA's terrible playbooks. With custom playbooks, you can solve the issue, but it introduces a host of other problems.

Really love the tweak to force defenders on the outside. Fixed outside runs but didn't nerf them
