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

Re: Madden NFL 17: Patch Version 1.03 is now available for PS4/XB1

It's much too easy to complete deep balls for touchdowns on out routes.

I can get at least 3 TDs a game on deep balls if I tried. There's a few threads that got buried here discussing it.

I have to eliminate deep routes from my playbook, it sucks.

That seems significantly different in CFM games. Definitely had that issue on Play Now games.

Here is one of the threads. I also started a thread myself. On all pro try it out yourself.

Run any play with a deep out route.. easy completion past the CB. It's like they get stuck in mud and any receiver can just blow right by.

Maybe this sounds like nitpicking, but that is not a deep ball. In game it is considered a medium pass. Deep passes are those where the ball travels 45 yards in the air. The distinction is important if you want them to fine tune it.

The reason the deep out is easy is twofold:
1. The timing is far easier in game than in real life, primarily because of our view.

2. All medium passes seemingly have the same difficulty. In Madden throwing a open crossing route or post route is just as hard as throwing the deep out.

If you use a custom defensive playbook for the CPU, that exploit is eliminated.

This cannot be stated enough. Poor play-calling has been a huge under the radar issue that has plagued this game for years and the complaints never gain any traction.

There are literally hundreds of plays in every playbook and less than 20 are even used. On the defensive side of the ball it's an even bigger joke. I challenge anyone to make a custom CPU defensive play book and prioritize the plays properly and then see what kind of game you get.

This doesn't require a patch unless they FINALLY allow us to assign custom play books to CPU opponents without having to jump through hoops.....or at a minimum have a freaking intern go in and adjust the star levels of the plays and for the love of.......get rid of the majority of the Four Verticle calls! It's stupid! It's just hilarious that people complain about the one armed catches being OP. Maybe....maybe not, but when the CPU and USER are constantly calling this play it's going to create an idea that it is. Want to see how ridiculous it is...go into any teams offensive playbook, look at 3rd and 4th and long situations as well as 2 minute drill....how many times is four verticles in there? Also, why are PA passes often being called on 3rd and long? What DC is going to fall for a PA pass on 3rd and 8 or more?

Simple fix that makes game play light years better and more challenging than it is now..

This was being worked on during the EA Access trial. The larger patch is being worked on currently with a larger number of gameplay fixes. This is more of an 'emergency' turnaround with issues that could be fixed in a shorter timeline.

So if a patch is purely gameplay fixes, it'll apply to an offline cfm that I started before it came out, right?

Where do you live?....

Wow, it took me less than an hour to download the game.
Do you have dial up internet?

Hey man thanks for linking my post. I really appreciate it. It's gotten more steam than I ever anticipated. It's kind of disappointing that they didn't get a patch in for the deep ball but at least they patched the outside runs being overly effective. Hopefully in next patch they'll address it along with decreasing QB accuracy. How would I get it to someone's attention that matters? Someone who can pass it on to Devs?

Yes, it says 52 hours. I'm sure it will speed up, but it took 40 hours to download the game. I have the best internet I can get, dsl 1mg download speed. Thank you Verizon. I love seeing their 100mg download speed commercials for $10 more a month.

I had a problem similar to that until I adjusted download settings on my ps4.

No fix for random Coach Challenges during games that take away time outs and valuable challenges late in the game?

As long as it's nothing major right? If so, I'll be starting my cfm as soon as the roster is out.

If this is on PS4, it's because swiping up on the touch pad calls for a coaches challenge. I've done it a few times myself.

Yes. It is fixed. (PS4 for me)

XB and PS4 are no way that different in patch sizes. I know there was also a commentary download today so maybe that is what some are seeing on XB1
