On All-Pro the misses now by the QBs for both teams are reasonable off-target throws, not 5 to 10 yards away from the receiver, and Overall accuracy has not been ticked up, IMO, maybe on All-Madden it's still bad though.

I thought for sure the QB Acc was designated for the competitive crowd. I would have to refer back to the patch notes.

That’s what they said Roadman. However, I’ve only played two games since the patch so small sample size but cpu QBs completion % has been much higher since the patch. Again only 2 games in so not trying to overreact but the trend has not been good for me early on. Noticeable difference.

I must be a sucker for placebo effect. Seems to me the game feels less, tight, for lack of better terms.

I had been thinking the game seemed less organic after the last patch, however it seems remedied now after this drop.

Lol. It’s crazy how we can have such different experiences. I feel the opposite. To me it feels like the game is tighter and less organic. Running feels stiffer. My running backs feel slower to respond and sometimes seem to be running in mud when in wide open space. My pass rush feels nerfed and I’ve seen lass sacks as a result. Again only two games so need more time for sure. Things just feel much more robotic and mechanical. Now, I think settings have a huge impact on some of the differences we all experience. Over the years I’ve learned that the smallest of adjustments that in theory should have little impact on gameplay can actually alter the experience dramatically. It’s almost impossible for us to have an apples to apples comparison unless we’re all using the exact settings. Crazy stuff.

What is the total size now on Xbox One? It seems like mine didn't update and of course you can't check on Xbone.

Saying 2 years is being kind. It has been a issue from 15-18 so 4 years.

I don't think it could be any higher. I have not played for a while but ever game CPU was like 80+ % no matter what I did with sliders to the point where I think the defense is just broken in this game. But I may have to try now with this patch and see what happened.
