Re: Madden NFL 21 Patch 1.10 Available, Featuring Plenty of Gameplay Updates, Fixes &

It's definitely taking some getting used to, but I'm not sure I'm mad at it.

It's going to take some people reminding themselves what "real" is. I had Travis Kelce drop a wide...and I mean WIDE open...angle route on a Texas concept when he was lined up in the backfield. It was initially distracting...but then I remembered the first quarter of the playoff game against Houston last year. Demarcus Robinson took all the heat for the drops, because he had more and they were super visible, but Kelce had a VERY similar drop, on a very similar route, to start things off on KC's very first drive in that game.

On the whole, I think I like it, but the change is radical enough....and visible enough...that we're going to need to adjust and stop overfocusing on the extra drops before the wider community accepts it.

I’m playing just play now 6 minute quarters. Only saw 1 drop from a second string tight end

All-Pro got super easy. Two play now games since the patch and I've been up 24 and 30 points at half. The cpu only scored in the hurry up right before half. As the Packers I held Drew Brees to 40% passing and 3 first half interceptions.

Yeah pre-patch it was frustrating when Dwayne Haskins would start every game 9 for 9 against me but now the cpu offense isn't really putting up a fight. Cpu needs more umpphh. On both sides of the ball. AP needs to get back to being a little more competitive.

I like the drops as well. It does happen

Julio Jones drops passes. Sometimes when hes not really covered even. I know this because hes been on my fantasy football team since his rookie year lol.

Those who play coach mode or cpu vs cpu, are you seeing the same amount of drops as others are alluding to?

C

There are more drops, but nothing I would call crazy after a couple of games. Might tweak catching a little upwards.

Ball carriers still cutting away from open space, into the defense.

This has been an issue since launch and is really bad.

Haha - Julio just had a huge drop last week, basically wide open TD that probably would have sealed the game. Great receivers do have drops. I’m glad it’s in Madden now. It was one of my bigger complaints in Madden; that catching ratings were really almost irrelevant. Especially the CPU n All -Madden. They literally caught anything.

I didn’t even really notice it the first two games I played. I had the catching sliders way down anyway. But, last night, had some huge drops. CPU Waller burned my user on a corner but dropped what would have been a first down to seal the game. Then next game I had several 3rd down drops in the 4th that cost me a game.

Overall, I’m thrilled this element is in the game. Adds much more organic, unscripted feel to the game. Things that were once automatic, aren’t so automatic anymore. But, that being said, I totally get why people would hate it. Especially competitive players... I could absolutely see some broken controllers happening. And EA probably went a tad too far, so I’ve bumped catching up to 55 for user/CPU for the time being. In the small sample, seems pretty good for now.

Imo. The problem isn't the drops itself. The problem is the 1) Adding drops in a update and it not being communicated 2) The dumb animation of the drop.

When Julio drops a ball, he isn't trying block someone after lol.

I am absolutely not trying to gaslight, I swear, but I am not seeing the issue in my franchise games.

I have 3 games under my belt post-patch, and in my last game I had 1 true drop and 1 ball thrown into coverage that got knocked out, and that's on 40 attempts.

I don't remember a big drop by the CPU.

If guys are getting 5 drops a game over a large sample size, and if the drops are all wide open drops, I could see that being an issue, but this issue isn't showing up in my played games.

I'm personally hoping they don't go in and patch this right away, as other things often get broken, and the game is playing amazing in my view.

Did they fix the CPU QB rushing yards stats in Franchise mode?

This is interesting. In my first and only post-patch game yesterday, I had EIGHT drops between Landry (4), Odell (2), and Hooper (2) alone.

Needless to say, I’m envious of those who are not having the drops issue.

Also, conversely, I got 6 sacks on Big Ben... 4 of which were those drop back, drop back, drop back.... take a 15 yard sack situations. I had seen zero of those in 5 games pre patch. So, I’m hoping that doesn’t become a trend too. I feel like the CPU QBs were playing pretty well before that.

But again - this is all one game. I’ll withhold judgment on if either of these is an issue until after I’ve played more games.

I am not having the drops, I had titans against patriots in the rain and most passes from both quarterbacks were overthrown. Not nowhere near receiver. Was this because of the rain or tannehill and newton. This was on all pro sim default

100% with you. Finally got a cha CFE to play tonight...yes it’s only one game...but I didn’t see a huge issue. I had two passes between each team that you could argue was dropped. Both passes were contested by the opposing defense. I just did t have the issues others have been seeing.
