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

[oneamongthefence]

I wish one thing this patch did was make stats more independent of playbooks. Seeing low rated QBs kill it because they play for the Browns, BUCS, or chiefs is really getting old for the past 3 years.

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.

Can you post a screenshot of those stats when that happens.

I wish folks would clarify comments like this regarding the LBs. what team are you playing with? Should all LB play like all pros. This makes it seem like an issue when in reality its the team that you are playing with. Unless you are having this issue with the top linebackers in the game, and I doubt that, how is this an issue?

Like what I see so far..
Hopefully more player likeness updates to come: I personally am looking forward to seeing Sammy Watkins with dreads and if they can do Rodgers hair. If they can't do Rodgers hair without making him look like Clay Mathews then just forget it. I'm not sure I've ever seen that hairstyle properly replicated in Madden before so it may not even be an option.

I started my Jets franchise this morning. Default All-Pro. 10 min quarters with no accel clock. Overall the game felt better.

I beat the Ravens 24-21. Two of their touchdowns came on pick-sixes from me. My one bugaboo is zone flats. I throw late and outside too often and the new zones punish me. Both of the picks were my fault. Offensively I sustained long drives with mainly short throws. I couldn't run the ball.

The good news is that Lamar Jackson played better. He threw one interception. He made some good plays (a 77-yard TD) but had some inaccurate throws. The new QB containment stuff works well. Overall the game felt good, but I'm worried that it will become too easy on All-Pro.

For the love of god please fix the interception slider!

Unless you have elite LBs, then you better get quick pressure and make the the right defensive call vs what the offensive is running otherwise LBs really should get cooked most of the time IMO. It why I play 7 DBs in all 3rd and long situations just to give myself a better chance.

Still torn if I need to up my Run Block slider above 4 is the only issue I’m trying to solve for the moment.

Forgot to add, yes the Interception slider definitely needs to be calibrated/fixed. That’s the resolution to the issue no doubt. Personally, I don’t like to see many fumbles (I’m also stuck on the belief from YEARS ago that the fumble slider made the RBs use their moves more lol) so I always raise the slider 70 + and rarely if ever see fumbles. Should be the same for the Int slider. At 0, picks should be near non existent.
