Do I need to start a new franchise for all these to take -affect?

It seems like trading during the draft is what triggers the draft reset glitch. I haven't encountered it yet and I can confirm I haven't traded in the draft (too easy to cheese the CPU by trading down - even if I know I can take the player I want later I take whichever player is highest on my board. I'm also rarely in a spot to trade up).

ooof I've shelved this game all year so far, sounds like it might be able to stay there. PGA & NBA I guess for me.

Re: Madden NFL 23 Patch #3 Available – Patch Notes

The Jets really went for the avant-garde look with their new alternate helmets.



I've only been able to play a few quarters since the patch dropped but the interception issue being fixed and the athleticism/reaction time of the defense being toned down is quite noticeable. Also, HUM pass rush is back to where it was in the beta and OOTB. I'm getting much more pressure than I was the last several weeks.

It sucks that the game seems (relatively) solid on the field now but franchise is such a disaster. There's a lot to read through but can someone tell me if the franchise reset glitch only happens with online franchises?

My test CFM the last two months has been an online Jets franchise and I had two games in Year 1 not record/register.

I had a cfm stuck in the draft prepatch, post patch I've been able to get through it and into week 1. I did make 1 trade.

Re: Madden NFL 23 Patch #3 Available – Patch Notes

Question, and this probably does nothing...but do you guys do Autosave, or Manual? Do you create a separate save after the draft is over separate from the Autosave? If so does it still revert back to the draft?

Same for me as well on PS5

Don't forget you must control all 32 teams i.e. have 32 characters created. Otherwise there will still be coach firings regardless of the ON/OFF selection. And too many coach firings/retirements triggers a crash eventually.

You can of course put league Settings on so that 31 teams manage themselves in Auto and you just look after one team properly.

From the info I gathered, the corruption doesn't happen when you are online unless that was debunked.

I just turned off coach firing and won't use custom classes to be safe.

Was out of pocket yesterday but excited to hear the interception issue is toned down. Good job EA! Now get to work on the franchise stuff

Most comments I've seen say it's online, but others have reported it happening in offline as well when using custom draft classes. I'm hoping offline with generated draft classes will be ok.

Re: Madden NFL 23 Patch #3 Available – Patch Notes

Impressions after update:

1. Interception slider definitely works now. I’m slowly increasing it from zero to get to a reasonable point.

2. CPU RB appears to be more aggressive. Especially when it comes to cutbacks to exploit open lanes. I’m going to do some ratings tests because if what has changed is what I’m thinking has changed, the RBs can have unique personalities based on which evasion technique has a high rating, I.e I hope all RBs aren’t tuned to just aggressively cutback, I’m hoping it’s tuned to ratings so if there’s a high truck rating they’ll truck more often.

3. Fatigue appears to have been tuned. I have fatigue slider at 70 and noticed more rotation with CPU RBs than before the update.

4. CPU QB Acc is better. When I say better I mean more errant throws to empty places on the field (my CPU QB slider is set to 40 by the way).

5. Observed some amazing Dline play here and there as the CPU D line crashed down on running plays.

6. DB / WR play seems to be more smooth. More swats, etc.

7. I’m noticing speed threshold having more visual effect as far as pursuit.

This is only two games in. I didn’t really notice too many major issues before the update, so for me to notice these things, they definitely did a good job. Will report back as I go.

Excellent observations here.

Re: Madden NFL 23 Patch #3 Available – Patch Notes

Played a couple of Play Now games vs the cpu on All Pro post patch. The game play is even better, pass blocking is better, run blocking is better, Id say run blocking is probably OP on All Pro or maybe its because I'm using Dallas.

I didn't notice any missed pass blocks, defenders push the offensive line into the backfield making the pocket tight, DBs go for the swat more, tackling seems better, but the very end of some tackle animations are jerky. More fumbles, they've tuned up fumbles which is good. Im very pleased with the gameplay. I will go ahead and begin my Offline Franchise now.

I really hope they overhaul presentation next year.

Re: Madden NFL 23 Patch #3 Available – Patch Notes

I don't want to derail into sliders here, but just to detail, I agree that they tuned sliders all around. I tried out their claim of 95 speed threshold being NFL accurate, and just dropping down to 84 made a very noticeable (and for me) manageable difference to playing the game.

Re: Madden NFL 23 Patch #3 Available – Patch Notes

just finished up my first game on pure all pro default and i gotta say it played pretty well. I threw 0 pics, cpu threw 3 (all in the second half, 1 of them was a 50/50 ball, 1 was a jumped route and the last was just an extremely odd play so i really don’t count it). they took a late lead with 56 seconds left and i ended up driving to kick a game winning fg to win it 29-27 against the jaguars.

things i’ve noticed:
- CPU QB (trevor lawrence) was more efficient, made less bad reads
- CPU RB seemed more aware of the holes and made more of an effort running the ball
- USER running seemed way more difficult
- lots of swatted passes which would’ve been interceptions previously
- i did not have any issues with receivers not attacking the ball and allowing the defense to pick it off
- pass rush was intense while i was on offense

Re: Madden NFL 23 Patch #3 Available – Patch Notes

Got a half in and the play is way better. First off, much better CB play and more swatting. Not looking for zero picks but the superhuman CB picking everything in the vicinity is tamed. Still don't know how you can release a game with a broken slider.

Saw some more diverse injuries to wr and lb's.

The graphics look better to me as well. Not sure if they did something there but looks crisper.

QB play is more varied. When I test, I like to see less-than-average QB's play. Saw some bad reads, overthrows etc.

Clearly, EA did some major work on this and its a good start.
