Madden NFL 23 Patch Addresses Gameplay, Franchise Mode Issues, Adds New Helmets & Player Likeness Updates - Patch Notes

I agree. Default All Madden on 11 minute quarters with 20 second runoff is the best this game has ever felt to me. Yes it's only been about 6 games for me, but I haven't had a CPU throw more than 2 ints (usually 1). I typically throw 1-2 but 90% of mine are obvious mistakes when I watch the replay or it's an inaccurate pass due to pressure.

You ever do that thing where you throw a pic and start raging against Madden and be like "this that bull**** I be talking about" only to later realize and have to come to terms with the fact that its 100% on you?

I had that happen a few days ago. 4 verticals from one of the empty shotgun sets that has the TE running a shallow cross. TE crosses the box and I throw to him trying to lead him towards the sideline with a touch pass to drop it over his shoulder. Only instead the QB throws a gentle rainbow toss almost straight ahead 5 yards past the LOS. To help visualize the pass, imagine playing catch with your 8 yr old son and the gentle rainbows you would throw. It was that lol. I raged hard.

Only to realize next time I got possession that the shallow cross is an option route and the TE took the option to break it off into a hook. I was like "...oh...guess thats my bad"

haha perfect description. It actually feels good when you see that something happened for a reason. Last game I played I thought I had the TE open in the endzone on a corner route. Tried to throw a lob to the far corner and the safety came over and picked it off. It didn't feel right until I looked at the replay. The safety was as deep or deeper than the TE. So even though it's probably a completion or out of the endzone in real life, if it's underthrown at all on Madden, that safety has a shot. All I had to do was realize his depth and throw the bullet low and away, and I probably had an easy TD.

Other obvious ones are if you get jumped on a curl route and get mad. Go watch that replay, and there's probably somebody else open. If not, maybe you should have stepped into the pocket and kept scanning, or go for a little scramble. You didn't need to force the timed curl. It'd be like a qb in real life staring down his target.

Again, do you guys think if I have the interception slider set to 0, that a CPU controlled QB should throw 8 incompletions in a game, and 5 of those incompletions were interceptions?

If you are saying it’s not a problem, you probably don’t understand what the actual issue is, or you don’t play the game expecting it to be a simulation.

Between the linemen models and all the picks, the game is basically a zombie interception simulator.

Edit: and it’s frustrating because the more people say it’s not a problem, the more likely they won’t fix it.

I guess ppl don't understand that the int slider isn't working like it should or even at all. If it's not an issue for some, great for them & enjoy, it still needs to get fixed. People claiming it's not an issue aren't testing the slider & leaving it at default obviously. I'm enjoying the game and will make it the way I want it to play, with bandaid fixes of my own (like yr in & yr out) but an issue is an issue. The slider isn't WORKING properly is the point.

Re: Madden NFL 23 Title Update Available Now - Patch Notes

Anyone go a sim to see if this fixed the free agency issue?

Idk what the other guy who replied saw but I just simmed a brand new online CFM save straight to FA post patch.

There were only 5 guys above 88 OVR. Derwin James, Jessie Bates, Jason Kelce, and Mike Geisiki were the top FA.

Pretty realistic I’d say, idk if Derwin was cut for Herbie or if they didn’t update his contract yet but either way it’s realistic enough for me.

Far cry from what happened in FOTF earlier where everyone went haywire with their QBs and like Mahomes and Allen were traded, Lamar signed and immediate traded, 4 old QBs on one team etc.

Anyway I’ve seen enough to feel confident starting a franchise.

I've seen reports of young QBs regressing early in their careers. Anybody seeing this?

Re: Big name free agents

I'm not trying to sound negative, but I'm so glad I didn't purchase this game. These threads make me upset for ya'll. I hope others give passing on it serious consideration in the future.

I'm not trying to make a point. I WANT to purchase it, but it's up to EA Sports whether I ever will again.

Pretty funny compared to the NBA2K discussion on this forum

Eh. I’m all for more random progression/regression. Especially if production warrants a drop.

I hope so. Look at draft history of QBs. Probably 70% don’t deserve any progress or should start regression after 2-3 years.

Just 16-19, these are QBs in the first or second round that you would want to see regression for early in their careers.

Goff, Wentz, Lynch, Hackenberg, Trubisky, Kizer, Mayfield, Darnold, Rosen, Jones, Haskins, Lock

I'm on ps4 and noticed that I only see Texans, Pats, and Cardinals get new helmets. Saints have new alternate helmet but its just the standard helmet, not black.

Re: Madden NFL 23 Title Update Available Now - Patch Notes

Is it for sure 10 years? Cause I’ve seen it in posts that it happens earlier

On M22, this happened to me in week 8 of year 5. I refused to restart & I never touched 22 again...disappointing to hear it's back for 23.

Would creating a new backup save every so often work if the file has a different name? Or is this a blanket issue where no matter what you do every file is going to get corrupted because you're in a season where it happened?

Was the FOTF issue supposed to be fixed...cause it's still crashing for me when I try to sign a new contract after year 1.

Nope. They ignored all the gamebreaking bugs in this patch. They genuinely don't care.

Madden and NBA are apples and oranges. NBA is well loved amongst the OS community. Madden is mostly hated and put up with.

*sigh*

I specifically waited for a patch before trying to advance past year 1 of FOTF based on what I read from others. Oh well.
