There's nothing of value in this clown patch. Definitely don't restart your cfm.

Yesterday I threw the ball to davante on a post route to the end zone. He was covered by LaMarcus Sneed who tipped the ball then caught his own tip lol. There were 3 intercepted tipped balls that game 😅 I turn the coverage up on my sliders to make the game harder but then I can't turn down ints to stop them from catching every single tipped balls. Even receivers will catch tipped balls they're not even looking at, as lomg as it hits them lol. Much less responsive than dbs tho

Re: Title Update is Live for Xbox

I still contend that there is an issue that goes beyond whether the DB catches it or not. And for years, DBs dropping balls was how Madden effectively dealt with pass completion %s appearing normal. And yes, the slider doing its job would get us back to that place. And IMO, this is part of the issue and it's being magnified because the defense catches everything. Even LBs who are contorted are catching balls directly over their heads.



But the issue, IMO, is still related to things happening in coverage that should not happen. Whether that a DB who magically closes distance on the WR the moment the ball is thrown even though he should at a full sprint with the WR, or a DB who decided to stretch his arms out through the WRs body or hands and catch the ball, or players changing directions in way they should not and in an accelerated manner.



If players actually obeyed the laws of physics, there would be less of an issue. But they are not. Regardless of the argument of "well I like the difficulty." Great, fine. It doesn't change that players are doing things they should not.

You hit the nail on the head with this post. I try to think optimistically as I generally am able to customize Madden to get to the game that I desire. But am I concerned that the M23 patches will feel like, well, patches? Certainly.

Quietly, I’ve been tempering expectations for the first patch. Sliders may get fixed, but do they tune the movement and reactions as well? Will it take a couple title updates? And that’s not even mentioning the franchise bugs.

It all has me tempted to roll with M22 for a couple months. I know that game is unpopular here but it works satisfactorily for me. Maybe that’s the result of me not upgrading to next gen until January and missing all the headaches at launch last year? Either way, it’s the devil I know at least.

I’m a little afraid to get invested into M23 just to be on a hamster wheel of waiting for fixes. And that’s not me degrading anyone else’s positive experience with M23. It’s not all bad.

Re: Title Update is Live for Xbox

Aaron Rodgers thew 6INT's against me on All-Madden yesterday.

Some truly awful decisions. It is 100% an issue.

Don't get me wrong there is an issue, but Rogers had 0 INTs against me in the game I just played.

Re: Madden NFL 23 Patch Available Today - Patch Notes

No INT fix? No Free Agency fix? No fix on games not counting? No field goal glitch fix?

I am waiting to start my franchise due to these.

This is where I'm at. And I am trying very hard not to be that person who just dumps on the game. Because I still love the animations and movement of players with momentum. I love the running game and how tackling generally feels.

So I'm watching where the patches go honestly. I'm just putting the game aside right now because I just don't want to play it and put more grievances in my head to the point that I just write it off completely. So for now, I'm back to FIFA 22 with an eye on FIFA 23. But I'm keeping an eye on Madden 23 because I really want to like it and I really think there's something there that can shine IF the issues are fixed.

Like how the ball gets tipped. It's like a feather out there, acting like a ball from the early 2000s in a freeware game. It gets tipped and just floats forever, sometimes resting on someone's arm the entire time until another DB comes in and just grabs it (again, magnified because DBs are catching everything). But the ball shouldn't behave like that. You shouldn't see a tipped ball on a 50 yard throw just float in the air for another 10 yards and allow the DB to actually recover and intercept the ball after he tipped it and stumbled.

On last gen they straight up removed MUT from the home menu. Finally a good patch.

Re: Title Update is Live for Xbox

What exactly does this accomplish? Doesn’t matter if it’s external or internal hard drive, I’ll still get the prompt to download the update once I boot the game no?

AT the current moment I have:

1) The base game that dropped day 1 that was 46.1 GB. I downloaded that version while connected online. That's known as the 1.0.0.4 build of the game. This will be the build that I use for updated patches.

2) On my External SSD Expansion Card, I have the base game that I downloaded from the physical disc while offline and that was 41.5 GB. This is the 1.0.0.3 build of the game.

3) I also made a copy of #1 onto my USB Portable External HDD and have it put away.

As long as I'm offline, I can always play #2 (1.0.0.3) build without any patches while using updated rosters, Franchise edits etc. Also, if a patch ever comes along that completely changes the game for the worst, I can always go offline, copy the 1.0.0.4 build that I have on my portable HDD back to my internal storage and play that.

Long story short, I don't ever have to be stuck playing the current build should patches mess the game up if I don't want to. I'm an offline Franchise player anyway; so being online doesn't really matter to me. Right now I'm running a test Franchise and am switching between the 1.0.0.3 offline build and the 1.0.0.4 online build. Gonna assume todays update will be build 1.0.0.5.

Re: Title Update is Live for Xbox

How are those AI pick 6’s treating you? Not seeing that either, right?

23/24 - that’s pinpoint accuracy! Maybe try lowering the human accuracy or catch slider for a little more realism?

Spoiler - those sliders won’t work either. I don’t mean to be smug. Truly. But OSers using their voice to continuously cast doubt on folks who KNOW how the sliders historically work in this game is getting exhausting.

Huh? I specifically said i hope they fix the sliders. They haven't worked properly in ages. And i was strictly speaking on the user throwing too many INTs. CPU is making a lot of terrible decisions, so i agree with you guys on that.

Seems the people bashing me are doing the same thing they accuse the competitive Twitter/YouTube community in complaining about the game til it's overly patched.

Re: Title Update is Live for Xbox

I just want the interception slider to have the sensitivity that it always had till this year.

I am fine with coverage and defense in general. What I and many others are spinning our wheels about is the ridiculous success ratio of DB’s and LB’s catching everything like they are Jerry Rice.

That is the real issue. We need to see drops….because in reality DB’s and LB’s
For the most part drop a ton of potential interceptions in real life. They don’t have this kind of success ratio.

And the slider has zero effect this year where as in years past it resulted in a lot for drops.

Give me back the ability to tune the game myself. Fix the slider.

THIS. Honestly, it's the only thing that has made the franchise playable for me. I'd just like to add that it's not just about drops, but also more about the lack of headtracking (should be the conduit for any reactions/animations), and the speed (reaction and/or otherwise) relative to the speed of the throw/ball—NFL players DO NOT behave that abruptly in real life. Not even close. And after that, their breaks are not unilaterally the same speed across every single position/player. And lastly, the pop outs and contested animations should trigger MUCH more over the INT animations if they run into that conundrum you're speaking of.

Bottom line as usual....Madden has a LONG way to go. It should simply be much better, and this discussion should only be relevant to last gen, ideally. There is a much better football engine that can exist given the power of these consoles. AI, locomotion, physics/momentum, and player behavior should be on another level with these consoles.

Re: Madden NFL 23 Patch Available Today - Patch Notes

Has anyone tried playing on competitive mode to see if the int issue is on there also?
