I think they fixed/improved uni degradation. Now seeing more visible scrapes and scuffs on helmets, and some wear and tear on unis from field turf. Looks really good.

Re: Madden NFL 18 Patch Available Now, Patch Notes Included
I hate to be the one that said "I told you so" but I did...It's amazing how the devs are interacting before the release of the game ( marketing) and after the release gone gone gone....
This is the first time that I didn't buy Madden because of QB play and I stuck to my guns...I was hoping a serious patch would change my mind, but oh well thanks but no thanks ...It's the same story every year rinse and repeat....
Moving forward dont get suckered in to next year with the same Ole same ole... Money talks!!!!!Last edited by tyberious4now; 10-09-2017, 02:17 PM.Comment

Well, I don't think it plays really badly. There are a lot of things I like, but QB ai seems like an issue. I'm both massively disappointed, but also enjoy the game for what it is. It's the abusive relationship I have with sports games in general as I've gotten older.Comment

Still inconclusive from testing. I feel like I'm seeing more movement out of the pocket and more realistic throws from rolling out as opposed to going for the los and then throwing across body, but it could be the sample size. Haven't seen any scrambles from Wilson, Mariota, or Cam, but it may be a context thing, as I haven't really generated the kind of pressure to warrant it. Boy are QBs accurate.
EDIT: What I can say is that at no point do I feel I need to use QB spy or contain. It's not something I feel worried about, and QBs have passed up easy yards in order to try and force a pass.
On top of the whole QB issue it would be nice to see deep safeties react more realistically instead of dropping 40 yards and acting as if they are playing a prevent defense instead.
Anyways, EA isn't interested in fixing anything for us offline gamers and hasnt been for a couple years now. Having said that you watch them fix these things the moment Madden Bowl, or whatever they call it these days, is over with and suddenly you will see these fixes pop up.Comment

Did you see this in a current online franchise? I am just checking to see if these changes went through existing franchises. Dont want to restartComment

Re: Madden NFL 18 Patch Available Now, Patch Notes Included
MUT and competitive are transforming into a completely different game at this point with player specific skills and abilities that seem over powered and geared toward the competitive crowd.
Seems like they just created sim at this point to wall it off from competitive modes but it won’t be receiving any resources. EA had the chips all in on MUT now.
Frankly, unless their code is a complete mess it would only take a short amount of time to fix the xp sim issues. Clearly all sim ballers want the cpu AI fixed. Yet 0 resources on these issues but MUT has non stop updates.
Actions speak louder than words.

Re: Madden NFL 18 Patch Available Now, Patch Notes Included
Ok, managed to induce a QB scramble from Wilson, but it I had to really wait on Graham and steer him into the rest of the coverage. Russell had a bunch of space to run, but just wanted Graham so badly.
I felt like the scramble itself looked ok, and he didn't throw across body. I'd like to see him scramble way earlier there, and more decisively.

Nothing about sim PAT's being attempted from the 35...If this is still not fixed I'll be trading in Madden for the first time ever.Comment

On a good note: In MUT we can now remove a player card after putting it into a set.Comment
