Was the issue of the CPU cutting rookies in franchise addressed??

I can live with the QB AI as is but adding Las Vegas and this getting fixed would possibly keep me able to play this.

Vegas should now be there for off line, it has been there for cloud CFM from launch.

Are the new cleats there for cloud?

Re: Madden NFL 18 Patch Available Now, Patch Notes Included

Ok, this is ****ing ridiculous.

Since release, this forum has been flooded with posts about the QB AI and its issues. It was very clear that it was the most necessary fix when it came to gameplay. People have been talking about this since the Gamechangers released videos a week before release.....

.....and it looks like NOTHING was done.

I see fix after fix that addresses competitive mode or MUT but only one that directly addresses sim mode gameplay and even that isnt the right fix. Clipping/Block in the back penalties are manageable by just lowering the sliders. If you were going to fix the penalties, how about fixing Defensive Holding which is non-existent no matter what the slider setting is?

There is no excuse for this anymore. Longshot is complete. NBA Live has been released. There is no reason that some members of that dev team couldnt have focused on the QB AI issue during the last 2 mos and at least attempted a fix.

Before we demonize Tiburon - it's too late for that based on the contents of this thread, but whatever - we should consider the completely reasonable possibility that these issues may take more time to fix than what was available to implement fixes in this patch. In addition, the new features delivered for MUT have probably been in development in some capacity since the game got to gold master, which was in late July if I recall correctly.

Better communication with respect to those two issues would be ideal, because as you said the QB AI issue probably the most glaring problem with User v CPU gameplay right now. That said, there are plenty of more plausible explanations than "EA doesn't care about sim players" as to why we don't have a fix for that issue in this patch. That there were over a dozen fixes for Franchise mode clearly illustrates that this is not the case, and the core gameplay fixes also clearly benefit all players, sim and competitive alike.

I agree some sort of update on the QB AI issues would be nice to know. I went ahead and threw a tweet at Rex and Clint, not sure if I'll get a response on it but we will see.

Some folks on Reddit are saying the sim XP issue is fixed even though not in patch notes.

I saw that...I was figuring if I could get 2 out of 3 irksome things solved I'd be cool. (Not happy...just cool with it).

I agree with this. But really your point about communication is key. If together with this was some communication that x,y, and z issue are being worked on and a fix is forthcoming then the reaction is different. But as is, its just a list of fixes. You can't give them the benefit of the doubt when they don't even seem to care what you give.

CM this issue isn’t just from this year though..M17 had the same issue..and it’s still present..now as I have said many times I defer to u as I know nothing about game design..but I will say as a customer that only plays single player..this hurts a lot, considering it’s by far the most important player on the field.. it has spam two titles now.

Running some CPU games while I get ready for Cubs playoff baseball. Will report back if I notice anything worth mentioning in the post-patch gameplay.

Disappointed at the patch notes, to say the least.

Re: Madden NFL 18 Patch Available Now, Patch Notes Included

The BIGGEST thing for me apart from QB AI (Will never be fixed - i've come to accept that) is the sim stats

1. Has the XP kicking stats been fixed where most kickers were kicking XP's at around 70-80% for the year?

2. Sacks and INT's being accurately recorded

Also, speed regression needs to be fixed. After year 1 in my offline CFM nearly ALL the RB's across the league had 90 or less speed rating
