Anyone notice any “little things” since the patch, I.e new tackle animations, player interactions/movement, etc? Small attention to detail things that they wouldn’t have listed in the notes basically.

It's a thing that causes pancakes when the defense come out in a 3 man front with a bunch of DBS against power run formations.

I see that part, but what else does it stop? The QB fumbling on scrambles seems like another aspect of this, but if there's a whole system running during H2H games to curtail specific "exploits" then they really should explain what those are. Not telling people is how you end up with a million "This game is broken!" YT videos

I played some franchise with the new patch on AM default and think this is extremely well balanced.

The CPU ball carrier AI was great, and even at 50 QBA w/ 50 penalties and all other sliders, the CPU QB was not OP in the least. I got great pass and run defense in many spots, but also got beat by better players and calls, so it felt as it should have.

People will remark that it's easy to get picked off on AM default. I made a post about this just yesterday. But after some work, it seems to me that my own picks have mostly to do with: over-aggressive throws into coverage, late throws, improper throw type given leverage, improper throw type given matchups, and poor use of catch types. In other words, most of that falls on the user.

I was pleased enough with where this patch is at to let it rip. The game play is really solid.

I used Live Playbooks and those seemed good. I also turned SS/XF off as a personal preference.

On the whole, this seems like great work. I'm happy.

Roadman this is on All-Madden. They're a set of sliders that I did myself I will post them later. But I am 100% satisfied with the coverage now

You're going to post them in the Slider subforum, correct? Need to be able to find them when they finally add the scouting patch and I buy the game.

BTW, I am going to ask my annual special teams question. Are kick returns/punts any better? I.e Is the return game a threat yet?

Re: Title Update Is Out (Notes w/ link inside)

This is great news, going to start my CFM over.

I don't think progressive fatigue was the issue, I believe it was the auto subs causing the players to disappear during games and not coming back?

Maybe I'm thinking of 2 different issues?

Auto subs is the issue part of it before I changed it my 2 starting DEs will disappear after couple snaps ever since i changed it they played ever snap on defense only issue I'm having now is my RB1 playing all 4 Qtrs

All I want to know is if my DB's and WR are going to go up for the ball or still stand there like someone nailed their feet to the ground. I really don't want to play the game until that is fixed.

I've run 2 KR back and no punts. I personally don't think it is any better.

Of course I’m still without power from the hurricane now that they finally fixed the score glitch.

Sim stats still not right. I don't get it. It's right online but not offline. I don't get this man.

I WAS able to do this and keep the player photo after the patch - PS4.

Hey knight

Is that for NG now to?

Before on NG the face would go away if you edited the player name

Edit disregard

EA fixed this on NG

Re: Title Update Is Out (Notes w/ link inside)

Which apparently wasn't done on the front end. Push it out the door & fix it later move.

Yeah we spotted this in the Beta.

So it has absolutely nothing to do with adjusted sliders as someone suggested.

It is a true issue with CPU logic. I tested this over and over and over and was able to figure out the CPU teams do not mix up the practices enough at all.

By the time the CPU realizes they ha e wiped their team out heading into week 14 it is too late.

After testing a lot we found the right way to approach the season with practices and intensity.

Look…..I think they can absolutely fix it but I am clueless about coding and the work involved to get parameters set for CPU controlled teams to handle this “Progressive Fatigue” system. Because IMO it works as intended for 32 man online leagues and is a fantastic feature. Unfortunately it is not tuned for offline or online solo franchise vs the CPU.

Again all my testing was done on default everything. SO IT IS NOT A SLIDER Issue. It is a logic issue.

Until a true fix is out you have two choices:

32 Team Control

Or

Turn it off

There’s so much we don’t know, but it seems the easiest fix would be for CPU to default to no pads wvery week.

Because if CPU player development suffers as a result, could we not adjust xp?

And people still think that FM sim players are the targeted consumer when there are a ton of comments like this:

Bruh 80-85% of the madden community doesssssnt care about stupid franchise against the computer Okay, you got your stats wiped against an AI. Big deal.

lmao facts they crying over a dub over a bot

Uh that was an issue as well, don't belittle it. Coverages are a major part of the mechanics of this game.

It didn’t make it UNPLAYABLE.

Yeah but really are these guys just a loud minority ? They keep saying how their numbers say that the majority of players are franchise and that's why they did so much to it this year. You just have to be careful. Just because you see lots of post doesn't mean that's the majority of users.

Aight, I guess I'll represent for the equipment heads with this question. PS4, btw.

Are we ever gonna see a fix for the striped sock heights or the floating facemasks? And while we're at it, are they going to fix the created player faces? I just want to be able to A: change my guy's eyebrows and B: not have my guy shape-shift between menu screens.
