Playing Madden 17 with no patches/tuners (Official Thread)

[Rocket32]

Am I on to something here or am I just wrong? When are draft classes for the next season generated in CFM? The reason I ask is because couldn't we let the patch install right before the time period when the draft class for next season is generated and let it be generated under the current way and then afterwords uninstall the patch after the draft class for next year is set? Would that work to avoid OP draft classes?

I'm gonna assume that's a no for some reason and it wouldn't work but just a thought. I would think I would have seen it mentioned somewhere on this forum if this was an actual solution to it.

Yea I never play online. I just wish XB1 had a similar feature to PS4 were I can turn off the auto update, and have complete control of user files. Might have to trade in some things and get the PS4 version.

Just about to try this for the first time. Updating my rosters, saving it and then deleting everything and reinstalling.

[ehh]

Once this thread was started I knew it was only a matter of time before I gave in. Won an auction on the 'Bay for $31 just now, should have the game by Thursday.

Just wanted to add my voice to the growing chorus of people here and say that I caved and bought the disc (had digital version) and I'm glad I did. Wow, what a difference! I was about to give up on Madden...gameplay has been terrible since the big October patch...but this changes everything. It's actually both fun and more realistic now. Moving forward, I will be buying the disc! Go old school offline play!

unless I'm doing something wrong, it looks like you cant get the ootb version 1.0 if your on xbox1... it will give you release day patch automatically... just a heads up as I have exhausted all avenues with deleting game, profile, completely off line and still doesnt work...

I have XB1, and I just picked up the disc today. Took the console offline, installed it, and it works great (so far). As long as you keep it offline, you should be good. At any point you put it online, even if in game, it kicks you out of the game and forces you to install a 8.2 GB update.
