CPU punts into the wind go like 9 yards in a lot of cases. I don't know exactly the mechanism that causes it... as wind effects user punts but nothing to that degree. It's an issue I've seen many times in my offline CFM games.

As far as the patch, just played my first game after install... didn't notice anything else broken. So far so good.

I agree, I cant believe that these two things havent been addressed in over two yrs. Problem is these two things will never happen on the competitive stage, so a fix may never be coming. Game seems to play normal after the update.

They broke cut days. It now cuts players that you do not select. Sends them to FA. Even signs players you did not sign. I have auto fill roster turned off.

Can you elaborate more? Is this during advances, using Big Decision, before/ after cut week? When you say sign are these FAs replacing the cuts, in-season signings, etc?

If this screws up cut days it's a much bigger blow then no trade feedback.

I haven't seen any issues....can you provide more specifics? Video would help.

How can you not notice impossibly long punts when the wind is over 10mph? I lost a game I could have won when the CPU punted the ball 83 yards (over 70 in the air), not leaving me with what constitute normal field position. I've seen several punts 65 yards and over, or had the CPU kick 15 yard punts INTO the same wind.
As for the false start glitch, either team can and will false start anywhere from 3 to 6 times IN A ROW on several occasions.
Those are problems we've had at least 2 Madden games running. It's been brought to EAs attention, but the choose to even acknowledge the problem...simply ignoring it.

Any word yet on unintended consequences?

I have this game tuned like a Ferrari right now and have not downloaded the last patch. I'm going to try to avoid it for fear of having to fix something that got unintentionally broken with this patch, but I'm not always able to keep my PS4 offline or to stop the installs before they happen.

I'd love to know if there are aspects of the game that look a little different after 1.12 so I can start contingency planning, should I somehow wind up with this thing installed.

I witnessed a 90 yard punt yesterday and it cleared the end zone not just rolling that far

Only when the wind is over 9 mph.....which is EVERY OUTDOOR GAME....seriously, never played a game without a 9-12 mph wind.

The punting into the wind issue for the CPU has existed since day one. It can happens indoors or outdoors. And the CPU won't always do it for some reason. I'm not sure what triggers it, but you can play the same game against a CPU opponent over and over and the CPU will punt normally probably 75% of the time. And then the other 25% it punts really short for 2 of the 4 quarters.

It sucks, but hasn't been game breaking for me. And funnily enough it has caused me to muff several punts if I'm not paying attention and don't switch to my returner before the ball is snapped. If you have control of the returner before the ball is snapped you can fair catch call and stay away. So, in a way I do kind of enjoy it because it forces me to pay attention and make sure I select my returner before the snap. Otherwise there is a good chance I'm muffing a punt and giving the ball back to the CPU.

As for long punts with the aid of the wind, that is not an issue. Madden's punting with the aid of the wind has always been unrealistic. Heck, with a regular kicker you can make record breaking FG's if the wind is strong enough behind your back. Had the CPU make a 62 yarder and several 60 yarders over the course of my 4 seasons in my CFM.

This really does bother me. I'm amazed how outdoor games never have weather without wind. Every single outdoor game has wind and usually above 9mph. Completely unrealistic.

I turned my punt power slider down to 35 and don't get too many punts clearing end zone

I was still slider tinkering so I just took the plunge. I don’t see any gameplay issues introduced. Too early to tell about any franchise mode hiccups.

Re: Trade Meter Fix out Tomorrow

"How are you gonna just not install the patch for awhile? When it comes up and I delete it, it just reappears a minute later. When I pause it, it randomly unpauses and downloads sometime while I'm sleeping. And I cant just leave the internet off on my ps4. I use it for many other things than Madden."

Metaldan - I've got my PS4 configured to turn off automatic downloads. Settings>System>Automatic Downloads and Uploads with the 'Enable Automatic Downloads and Uploads' checkbox unchecked. The only time my system will download a patch is if I start the game in question or put that game's disk in. So effectively I have to pull the update with my actions.

Now here's the huge caveat: By default my PS4 is not connected to the internet (I've got wifi with the network connection checkbox unchecked).

When I *do* connect I get the type of behavior described above. But to be fair I have never been online for a protracted period of time with my console unattended.

OK, good to know. I'm finally done tinkering and I DON'T want to have to start doing so again

Like you, I have the game in a great place gameplay wise, and luckily this patch doesn't seem to have ruined anything on that front.
