Madden NFL 22 Patch #3 Available, Cover 3 Tuning - Patch Notes

Re: Madden NFL 22: Title Update - September 23

And yes, we have a right to be frustrated. Don't feel like you can't say it. That's what a Madden forum is for. There's a large group in the madden community that loves reaping the benefits of the #FixMaddenFranchise thing last year but they have no patience for people speaking up when the devs under-deliver. It is what it is. There are some things that are better left ignored.

This is a pretty wild accusation. Who exactly are these people you speak of?

Re: Madden NFL 22: Title Update - September 23

I pre-ordered knowing how the game has always needed some type of Update, also knowing that the Scouting aspect was not not going to be available at release.

I knew these things but still pre-ordered, so to me I can’t use the “I paid $70”.
I could’ve waited but chose not to, so I got to accept my poor purchasing choice at this point.

That's good for you but I don't care.

I get from 7-15 penalties a game.

I don’t understand how that can be with so many of us seeing very few. I’m going to uninstall and reinstall.

Putting everything at 99 jacks the game up. Adjust other things like speed parity, fatigue, and attributes.

Speed parity has no effect on Penalties....

I've tried 99, 75, 50, 25 and 0

Also in theory fatigue should effect penalties because players are more prone to mistakes when they get tired or fatigued

But in Madden it doesn't seem to work that way.

Some games I'll get penalties and then some games I won't.....

Bottom line is EA needs to start from scratch and revaluate their Penalty sliders and Sliders in general TBH

Re: Madden NFL 22: Title Update - September 23

I never suggested that you not voice your displeasure with the current product.

Rather, I am suggesting that you offer the extremely stressed engineers, designers, and testers on the ground level time and patience to do their jobs.

I get we are all frustrated by various pain points in this game, but some human empathy would be really nice around here for a change.

Are u kidding me????....no offense to the developers that are working day on night on this game, but come on man, we arent talking about Doug Flutie Football here....this is EA Sports and we, as gamers are paying now a premium of $69 for this game!!! Hire more developers, or whatever you got to do to make this worth what we are paying for this!!!!.......thats all man!!!

Re: Madden NFL 22: Title Update - September 23

The thread about the Title Update would seek the same energy from you about your $70 purchase rant.

I digress!!!

We all know that every Title Update thread always doubles as a complain about the history of EA/Madden mistakes thread as well unfortunately.

I bought Madden the last few years and it was never *this* broken for me, it's not like we're just ignorant people who made a bad choice. We put it on faith that features that worked in the past would work this year and it's baffling they don't. We put faith in new features being ready and they're not, which to me is unacceptable from a developer EA's size.

It's weird, I have no issue with people who want to wait this out and are okay being patient. That's honestly great! Not entirely sure why some of us are getting lectures for being very unhappy about this and how we should "show empathy." There wasn't a whole lot of empathy when they took my money at checkout, sorry. $70 is a little more valuable after the last 18 months.

You can be okay with this but don't present anyone who's upset as unreasonable. And no matter how much someone says "that's not what I'm doing," come on, I'm 30. That's exactly what you're doing lmao.

Re: Madden NFL 22: Title Update - September 23

It's wild that they're able to add a line into the Scouting Delay Blog bragging about Progressive Fatigue being a big new addition to the mode this year but they haven't been able to take two seconds since launch to say "We're looking into the issue with Progressive Fatigue." That's all we need. Just let us know you're at least aware of this huge bug...

I mean the thing that gets me is how progressive fatigue hasn't been mentioned how broke it is for the user vs CPU and we get crickets. Instead how amazing the new feature it is lol. If I actually want to use the new feature I have to fix the game myself like a part time job to fix it. I know ppl it's just a game until it breaks your season in week 15 & so on & your playing bench warmers.. I wasn't even holding my breath for the scouting update this yr (figure February) after all the patches to fix it. A feature at release being broken for people that play vs the cpu in Franchise is unexcusable.

Yeah, it's 2021 and the new trend of developers putting out half-made games that ~maybe~ they'll get around to fixing along the way is plain bad.

Again, nobody's stopping anyone from being fine with this but if I can run a cleaner franchise on Madden 19 than this one, that's a big problem and anyone is right to be mad about it. Maybe if they told people what's going on we wouldn't be having these conversations.

Also to respond to another comment on the thread, we're complaining about this on the patch thread because none of the actual problems breaking the game were acknowledged at all lol.

Your penalty settings?

I’m using Schndiat’s slider set currently. Don’t know them right off (can go to sliders forum and check it out), but since they fixed franchise penalties not occurring, I get quite a bit every game. I’ve played several.

With that said, they still need to overhaul the penalty system to be more realistic for sure.

Yeah and I get that fixes take time, but just tell us you’re working on it. Radio silence is not the answer. And that’s not the message we were given with the podcasts and the gridiron notes prior to release. But now that the issues are out in the open they refuse to communicate or acknowledge them. It’s insane that guys on here can’t even get into games or game modes without freezing and EA can’t acknowledge that either.

I had an illegal man downfield penalty last night. First time ever I've seen it.

Yep, and the idea that criticizing this is somehow a slight at the developers is a bad strawman. EA is one of the biggest corporations in the world, they can always hire more if their current team is overworked. That argument just doesn't do a lot for me here.

The game we have is not the game we were sold, and we don't know if we'll ever get it now. It's pretty much as simple as that.

Re: Madden NFL 22: Title Update - September 23

I am not an EA defender and do agree that they could be better at communicating, but I have worked for two of the largest most well known IT companies in the world and I can assure you, the days if going out and getting new headcount whenever you want or need are gone.

Even, and maybe especially, the biggest corps are cutting back on resources or pushing to low cost countries. I can't tell you how many projects I had that missed critical dates due to the restrictions on hiring.

Re: Madden NFL 22 Patch #3 Available, Cover 3 Tuning - Patch Notes

I am getting a ton of penalties (mostly blocking in the back, but I’ll take it as it’s definitely added a much needed dynamic to drives).

Playing offline franchise 15 minutes 14 accel clock.

Hell, my game earlier today had 6 penalties (4 blocking in back, 2 holding) in the first quarter. CPU also got quite a few false starts in one of my games.

Overall, I’ve had blocking in the back, holding, illegal touching, face mask, defensive pass interference, false start.

Default penalty sliders?
