What are some things you want fixed?

[ChampIsHere42]

Dont get me wrong, this game is great but there are just some things I think sorely need cleaned up.

1. CPU QB Awareness in the pocket / play like they do in real life.

2. CPU clock management.

3. Animations carrying players out of bounds. (Not knowing where sideline is)

In my CFM (Vikings) Mariota lit me up for 300 yds, next game against Rodgers, he doesnt even go over 200 and i held them to 0 points.

Agreed that the game is pretty great.

CPU draft logic still needs help tho. In the first year of my Rams offline CFM the Cowboys drafted 3 QB's in a row to start their draft.

More "dynamic" KR/PR. It seems these plays always work one way, and if you happen to break it for a TD, they look the same too. Not enough chaos on those plays.

Better player feedback and tighter control of user-players. Every year they add in more complex animations that require time to play out and that comes at the sacrifice of precise user control.

For example, when changing directions to close for a tackle as a defender, you are at the mercy of how the game is going to play those animations.

I'm more afraid of how the game will react to my control than how my opponent will try to avoid my tackle.

The Sim engine in game.. Playing as a player CFM at WR for 49ers
I've gone 1-6 through the first 7 weeks.

But the end of game sim is broken... The panthers - Seahawks- Cowboys with dak, cardinals, and bills & Bucs - all have beat me in scoring GW drives under 2mins and magically they all score as time expires besides game vs cards they left 6 seconds on clock

Really annoying - I'm simming on fast speed if that has anything to do with it.. But every game has ended in a GW drive for CPU


My lone win against LA -- kicked go ahead fg with 27seconds left - the CPU had no timeouts got the the 41yard line and managed to miss 59 yard fg to send to OT .. Something is rigged with my first CFM experience this year

A Gap heat and the forward throw fumble glitch.

Re: What are some things you want fixed?

QB AI and accuracy needs a ton of work. That's the big one for me. Outside of that CPU trade logic should be tuned as well.

sacks.

can't get sacks in the game when i play a full game or use "play the moment".

Re: What are some things you want fixed?

1) CPU QB awareness pertaining to pass rush. 2) CPU playing far too much cover 1 press coverage and not doing it so well.... 3) Passing lead stick control is nowhere near "touchy' enough. I can't overthrow my receiver if I tried. You can put the ball to the left and right of the receiver, that works perfectly. However, you truly can't put the ball right where you want to on the field. M17 is my first buy since M12 and this is very noticeable. Make me work for my throws or pay the price. 4) I know I'm in the minority but please make "tackle battles" optional. All the hype about a partial physics engine and I have to press a button in a quick time event to shake free of a defender? 5) The playcalling screen is not user-friendly. We have the option to put plays into a gameplan. Previously, you could arrange it so your plays would come up in the order of which you set them. Unless I'm missing something, I am not seeing that here. Other than that, quite a shock to see all the improvements, for as much as we like to complain, over a 5 year span.

i watched the browns take three QB in the first three rounds. they would have taken two in the first round had i not traded for their second first round pick. it is like the CPU doesn't make note of who it has taken in the draft so far.

Re: What are some things you want fixed?

I really like this year's madden, and with a solid patch or 2 this game will go from great to excellent! But for thread's sake here's what I feel needs work(note: this is mainly about CFM because that's the mode I play the most):

Challenges: this is a legacy issue that needs complete overhaul. We should be able to change anything we want on every down.

Presentation: Madden def took it up a notch this year(although a patch to interrupt Charles Davis at times would be nice.) However I still would like to see a difference in presentation during primetime games and playoff games. Primetime games should feel like it. From the crowd to the way the madden scoreboard looks on our TV. Same with playoffs, there should be a noticeably more raucous crowd at a playoff game then a regular season game. I love the ticker though!

QB mechanics: another legacy issue that needs a complete overhaul. Each QB should feel different on drop backs and moving around in the pocket. Mechanics should be a tangible rating and then maybe we can see true inaccuracy, not just the synthetic inaccuracy we see when we tweak the sliders.

Bring in formation subs for custom play books

Bring back defensive assignments

Please bring CFM to where it was back in the Madden 04-05 days. It was truly a deep mode back then. Bring back a true create mode for relocation. We should have complete control over creating a new stadium, new logos, new unis, and where we move to. The city list should be more expansive, like it was back then.

Bring back offensive and defensive coordinators(also the ability to edit them)

The trenches could use an overhaul too.

I do like the direction Madden is going in though, and I've been one to bash EA since the exclusive license. Looks like they actually seek information from the community and find ways to implement it which impresses me. It will be interesting to see where Madden 18 goes if they do use the new frostbite engine for this game.

I agree with 1 and 2 and I would also had pass rush line play but all 3 have been a issue for a while so I don't no if they are going to get fixed or improved in a patch. 1 was better last year before patches. I have a felling it is a hard thing to fix and not make worse. 2 much better last year and this year but CPU still does some silly things. Now pass rush/line play is like the worst part of the games gameplay by far. It is way to hard to get a consistent pass rush. I can turn down pass blocking and then I can get sacks but the issue is it is either no one blocks and you get to the QB in like .2 seconds or they have a hour to make a pass. There needs to be a in-between.

Re: What are some things you want fixed?

- Fumble scrums where 4 players on one team can't pick up the ball and the 1 other guy "gets it back"

- Play calling screen, menus are still laggy-ish.. It should be extremely responsive

- On defense when you have a dline player selected, making adjustments and pressing RT to look at the play results in encroachment/penalty... ****ing unbelievable that this still happens

- Does intentional grounding work at all? I've seen way too many passes thrown straight out of bounds from the pocket (All-Pro) when under pressure

- QB getting hit while throwing results in a fumble probably 75% of the time that I've seen

- CPU trade logic.. I'm the Eagles and the Redskins gave me a 1st rd pick for Bradford (they're in my division and have Kirk Cousins)

- Way too much button-pressing.. Game feels arcadish now, especially the new running game

Re: What are some things you want fixed?

Currently playing a few defensive player CFM's. I would like to have the camera fixed. I fully understand that in real life a defensive player can't see behind themselves but I would still much rather play defense from the offensive angle. Maybe the option to change which camera you are using would be fair for those who like the camera the way it is.

Also, when a pass is thrown over your head and you're pursuing the ball, the camera does the slow turnaround and will completely throw off your momentum. I'm not sure if it is by design but I'm pretty sure it was not always like that.

Re: What are some things you want fixed?

Gameplay feels pretty good with the sliders I have now, but one thing that bothers me a lot, is USER Outside Running is too easy. I tried to test it and play couple of drives and only call Stretch running plays and I scored both times with 80 yard drives with calling only different variations of Stretch runs.

I think this is a real problem. Does anybody have the same problem?

This was happening with USER Run Blocking Slider at 30.

-

Pressure from the USER Defensive line is too weak. I think CPU Defensive line is getting better pressure, but USER pressure is no show. I think this should be tweaked badly.
