Madden NFL 22 Scouting Update Arrives with Gameplay Tuning & More - Patch Notes

Re: Madden NFL 22 Scouting Update Arrives with Gameplay Tuning & More - Patch Notes

Really good insight from Swami's twitter. Worth reading his replies to this post - https://twitter.com/Swami_EA/status/1448034898862911493


A couple quick things worth mentioning -

1. They're aware of the game crashes happening right now
2. They're aware of draft logic being broken. Sounds like a fix isn't happening until M23.
3. Looks like he is aware of what seems to be a bug that a couple of us have seen where focused player scouting and private visits aren't increasing the amount that a player is scouted. If it works properly then 30% should be unlocked for super focused and 40% for private workout.

There's a lot of good stuff in there.

Thanks for highlighting this. I really don't understand how they fixed draft logic through a patch last year and then broke it again...

I haven't played the new update yet. Am I best holding off until another patch?

Is there a common theme with people getting the "focused player scouting and private visits aren't increasing the amount" bug? Cloud on PS5? Offline on XBOX???

This is a common issue with these yearly release sports games. They fix something then a later patch or next years game breaks the fix. It feels like they are working on different versions when adding/fixing something and then the version they make the fix in doesn’t update other stuff that had been updated in between when they started working and finishing a different update. It happens enough that’s it’s noticeable. And it’s super annoying.

Re: Madden NFL 22 Scouting Report Update Available Now - Patch Notes

LOL the Cardinals just took a QB with a high 2nd round pick after Kyler threw for 4,445, ran for another 430. Had 36 TDs and 13 INTs.



Clearly something is off here... When the Cards took Kyler one year after taking Rosen it's because Rosen was garbage and Kyler was a generational talent. They didn't already have an elite QB on their team.

This is a mode-breaking glitch. What good is a scouting update if the draft logic is so broken?

Re: Madden NFL 22 Scouting Report Update Available Now - Patch Notes

The constant crashing now is highly annoying. But before the crashes, I observed the following:

1. CPU DBs intercept the ball way more now. Even passes they have no business even getting to, they do, which is annoying. That jump spin interception happens way too much now. USER DBs are brain dead as usual.

2. CPU QBs are way too accurate now.

3. CPU RBs can actually run for a lot of yards now on default All Pro, which before the CPU had a very hard time running the ball.

4. USER WRs are still not aggressive going for the ball on their own. If there is a jump ball situation, your guy won't jump, let alone notice the ball is near him, where as the CPU DB jumps up and catches it uncontested majority of the time. Deep passes are basically are an interception 99% of the time.

5. Penalties still don't happen other then holding.

6. Zones are better far as positioning goes, but the USER DBs are brain dead on default, just like the USER WRs. Unless you put them on aggressive via coach settings, neither will go for the ball on their own.

One more note on this... in another thread that Swami was commenting on he said that when they attempted to fix the draft logic last year via patch it didn't work as intended - only some leagues got the fixes. That's why they're saying it's not possible to fix AI draft logic through patch. No mention on if that's coming for M23.

I haven’t bought 22 but still lurk around the posts to see people’s impressions. Jeez, doesn’t sound like a great year. I still have 9 hrs of the trial and was waiting for this update to come through. Idk, maybe I’ll wait a little longer before I use that time. There’s always next year I guess!

I play on the PS5. It is the best Madden in a long, long time. There are some people that will never be happy.

Eh, you could also say that some people will always be happy regardless of what they're given.

Or maybe we actually like the update and the depth it adds to franchise?

Re: Madden NFL 22 Scouting Report Update Available Now - Patch Notes

Hear me out....

Green Bay drafted Jordan Love in the first round with Aaron Rodgers at QB.

That's fair but seeing the Jags or jets draft a QB in round 1 in year 2 seems a bit far fetched. I would also think that Trevor Lawrence and Zach Wilson are not to be compared to Josh Rosen.

I like the more lack of information on players. You could practically scout the entire first few rounds in years past and it was VERY hard to draft a bust if scouting was done properly. Now its a handful of attributes and physicals. I think it mirrors the "luck and crapshoot" the draft can be.

I do wish there was a bit more to do week to week, but I am pleased with what I have seen so far.

If you have a plan for which positions you want to draft, you can get more info than some believe — at least in single player.


But there should still be a bit more info, including archetype as a freebee. Also, make it 5 and 5 for focus and workout instead of 3 and 3, and the base scouting should be moved up 10 percentage points minimum.

Default sliders are not sim. If you want closer to sim behavior, increase coverage and drastically decrease INT. That won't fix user attacking the ball though, as the game is designed for you to take over and make the play. If you play as if this is Madden 2025 or whatever, where the AI attempts to make the catch for you, things aren't going to work out, as they've changed the game to make it user.


Sucks for coachmode guys.
