I know this is off topic but when the regular season starts will we get every game in play live now?

I just wish I hadnt bought any MUT points or cards.

Not only is the game a mess. But everything I bought in MUT was absolutely useless. Didnt get ONE good thing out of any of the packs I got.

Which makes this patch more disappointing for me.

I think you are just misunderstanding how MUT works. You aren't supposed to be gifted a great team. You use the cards that improve your base team, then use the rest to either quick sell, auction, to fill sets that reward you with better cards. I addition, you play solo challenges, which reward you with coins, contracts, packs, and XP.

The game would be boring and pointless if you had powerhouse team in the first week. That's why I never saw the point in why some gamers choose to spend $100s, if not $1000s, on bundles of packs. But hey, that's what puts cards in the auction house.

Which is why I only spend gold on cheap, special packs, like the level up rewards. It's over 3K in coins, but they are good packs. Otherwise, the only packs I open are the rewards. I use my gold to buy tickets to play MUT Seasons and in the auction house to buy the specific players I want.

It's important to know that they pushed this patch out quickly to get it implemented before the hurricane, its likely they do have a fix but didn't get a chance to include it in this patch.

I'm pretty sure if you get hit by the hurricane, you won't have power to play the game.

Just played a game and lost 33-28 to the Falcons. Matt Ryan threw interceptions on his first two passes which was weird and made me think that maybe the AI wouldn't be able to handle the changes. I was wrong. From that point on Ryan was 26-31 for 421 yards. Didn't see much different with zones or coverage in general. Seemed like players may have been reacting faster but they still don't react to players in their zones or guys in the flats and the windows to throw into are still massive.

I also sacked Ryan 7 times. None were really of the bad statue variety but there still is a big lack of awareness when it comes to pressure for AI QB's. He didn't move at all the whole game.

Ball carrier moves are still very effective for the CPU. Almost seemed more effective in this game.

I had no timeouts with two minutes to go and they're up five and they threw on first down and then ran the next play when all they had to do was take knees and the game was over. Nothing new there, just another example of bad AI decision making.

Re: Madden NFL 18 Patch Available Now - Patch Notes Here

This is really disappointing. I thought they said they had a fix for the Missed Extra point glitch (extra points are being kicked from the 35 yard line in sim and super sim, instead of from the 15 yard line, causing more missed extra points than there should be)

FRUSTRATING!!!!!

Damn, I can't believe they didn't fix the XP glitch. There are way too many touchdowns where the extra point is missed happening in the sim and super sim engines in my CFM.

That was a simple fix, I would have figured they were aware.

I saw that, and it just creates some questions for me.

Really? What would those answers change for you?

EA Tiburon is located in Florida. They're talking about the hurricane shutting the studio down for a while.

Thanks, I'm pretty aware of that.

The EA studio is in Florida and is shutting down hence the reason they wanted to get it out.

Re: Madden NFL 18 Patch Available Now - Patch Notes Here

Them knocking out the first patch is all well and good... but I still have the bug where the game auto sims to the draft after week 17. Can't do any offseason or playoffs or nothing. I feel like I just wasted 60 bucks.

What would be the point, if you are not reading the posts in the thread? I mean, there are several posts about users' experiences with patch in this thread.

Ok well I leveled to 28 and still hadnt gotten anything better then an 83 overall player. My roster was terrible, through 28 levels. Because all the packs I got through playing, or buying with coins were absolutely worthless.

So I thought ok, let me get some of those NFC packs or what have you. My one elite player? A punter. So yeah, screw EA and MUT lol

Re: Madden NFL 18 Patch Available Now - Patch Notes Here

One thing I noticed is they fixed the loading screen for rosters etc...before this patch if u clicked on file it wouldn't say anything.

Now it tells u the files loaded...

I only played one game so far but I could see some improvements the defense played better at least from game I played.

If they ever tune or fix sack issue this be a great game.

I did see some running from qb... Manning even out juked Garrett who had a easy sack...and manning took off ...only to get sacked by garrett in end.

I also like that they added HDR in this patch.

I'm with you man, this game will be great and a lot of fun if they fix the sack issue.

I literally can't play the game because of it. I had a game on 9 minutes, All-Pro, no accel. clock and got 12 sacks just rushing 3 d-lineman the whole game. I have a hard enough time making the game challenging as it is, I can't have the CPU gift-wrap me -120 yards of offense for the computer on sacks alone
