Since the genesis of the series was rooted in John Madden being a stickler for realism, I wonder how he'd react to...that?

Hard to find the "football" in that offering...

I wish they would've fixed the formation subs in cfm

Some of these updates sometimes seem like they only focus on mut or the things people do that is also a feature were they endup spending money to get or packs or coins or whatever they use.. There is so many bugs I've found that I just want to point out that I don't even think these guys know or do an don't know how to fix them.. There's playbook issues... Broadcast sim issues.. Etcetc.....

Stomping out a bug in a way that doesn't add any new problem spots can take time, and releasing a bug fix which creates more problems than it solves doesn't make anyone happy. Given that this update also contains stuff for the MUT winter promotional content stuff, I kinda doubt that this bug fix is exclusively a knee-jerk reaction to the Madden Classic. AAA game developers simply can't move that fast, and even if they could they likely can't get through first-party that fast. Odds are that the bug was being tracked internally for a long time - as you said, the bug's been there since launch, so it's probably been there since alpha and beta as well - and they've only now managed to fix it in a way that doesn't cause trouble elsewhere, so it got rolled into the MUT winter content refresh.

Man. I wish I could consistently see things in such a positive light as you do. Unfortunately I cannot bring myself to do so.

To me it's 100% doom and gloom if they supposedly had punting fixed already but couldn't be bothered to include it in this update.

Maybe this will help with the idiots in online franchise or tournaments who think two dark jerseys in a game is normal.

to be fair, Hooe is a game dev, so he has the perspective of someone developing a piece of software for release.

IMO this patch is meh. It doesn't address anything that i have issues with. Hopefully the next patch actually addresses issues i have with the game. If not i'll just buy a disc version when it goes on sale somewhere. The release version was the ****. I loved it before all the patches came in. Unfourtunately, i lose the color rush jerseys.
