Doesnt look like we will ever get a qb drop back fix.


I was watching a cpu vs cpu game last night. (On a sim franchise) Darnold dropped back for a pass 3 straight plays. All 3 were sacks were he kept dropping back. It looks like if the ai first read isnt there they are lost on what to do. I have been seeing this since the 2nd patch of the game.

I see this in cpu vs user games as well.

Is EA not aware of this issue? I feel like ive seen it brought up a lot over the cycle.

Result was a 4th and 35.

This was cpu controlled on all pro default sliders.

Are these patch numbers supposed to be reflecting in the "about" section of the game? I'm inquiring because my version states 1.0.0.17 on xbox series x. From the sounds of it, I may just want to keep it at this version if the QBs aren't playing correctly lol. If this is an issue is there a way I can download which patch I want?

Anybody else having issues on PS4?

I've tried to load the game twice after downloading the patch. Both times the game freezes on the load screen and after a minute or so shuts off my PS4 completely.

I deleted the game and I'm re-downloading now, so hopefully that works.

Edit: Re-installing worked.

It’s the schemes for run and shoot, multiple power run and multiple zone run. Don’t use these playbooks and schemes. If you do, the glitch will happen. I do cpu/cpu as well, and never see this by doing these simple edits. I think it has to do with the Field General Archetype.

On next gen I'm still seeing new animations and interactions every game. They are probably finally done now for M21, but I feel like the gameplay team has been tightening and tuning the next gen version all this time.

CG and NG are night and day from each other!! NG runs so much better and smoother. Really brought the joy back (for me) of playing. So buttery smooth and like you said, animations are so eye popping and clear now.

I always play Madden just to carry over till MLBTS comes out, but with NG, I may skip MLB and just play Madden all year and use MLB 20 as a break.
