New Madden NFL 18 Title Update Available Now - Patch Notes Here

[ProStylez]

Game 2 post patch completed.
Browns (me) 10 vs Rams 27

I wanted to test two different games with the Browns, first was against the Jets as I said in my earlier post. McCown was 17-36 and I won that game 13-6.
This game Goff killed me, as I was hoping. He threw for 311 and completed 80% of his passes. Gurley ran for 73 and a TD and caught 5 passes for 66 yards and a TD. Honestly if Crowell didn't have that long td run before the half it would have been a sleeper.
Two full games still no injuries. Don't know what's going on there post patch but at this point the QB's are playing so good I will sacrifice the injuries. I'll probably bump the injury slider next game.
Guys......as Armor said, we have something good here. It honestly does not even feel like the same game......Madden 18.5 has arrived.

Is it me or is there a huge amount of drops now? Just played 4 games and in each one if a defender so much as breathed on a player they dropped in on both sides. Averaged 16 drops per game from both teams. It has been pretty ridiculous because most of these are on uncontested balls that get dropped. This is on offline CFM, also when my WR drops it with no defender around him the announcers go on forever about what a huge hit it was when there wasn't even contact, it gets annoying fast. CPU QB AI has improved a ton though, no more statue.

This is on offline CFM as the Raiders with All-Pro Set (Blue Set) from Flazko

Shhhh let them enjoy the patch honeymoon for a few weeks lol

Also noticed a lack of injuries. Even bumped up the Injury Slider to 80; the little “Injury Timeout” icon flashed, but there’s no injury. As I’ve said before, it’s a decent patch but it still doesn’t have Madden 18 where it needs to be.

Are you saying nothing showed up in the injury report? Because seeing the "Injury timeout" banner without an actual injury scene means the injury was off-ball - not involving the ball carrier. It's been like this all year and was a design decision for '18.

If you didn't get a pop up a few plays later or nothing got listed in the pause screen injury report, then there'd be a problem. I had several minor injuries in my first game (playing at the CFM default of 40) and all of them showed me a pop up and were listed in the the report after a few plays.

im curious what ppls thoughts are on zone coverage (user and cpu) and man coverage..especially against high speed guys.

curious about user accuracy as well...all throws on target or do you have misfires??

penalties penalties penalties.

holding and false start are 2 most common each nfl game...should see at least 2 each per team per game...

i get u can jack up penalty slider but this can affect gameplay negatively.

i do not have madden 18 anymore. and outside the cpu qb ai issues...these were the other things that bugged me.

but 27 at gamestop is tough to pass up if those other things are better

Try catch at 52. That was the sweet spot on release. Seems to be back to that.
