    Re: Madden NFL 25 Title Update #2 Available Now, Post Your Impressions

    I know this sounds dumb, but is the update supposed to come up automatically or am I supposed to go download it? I have tried going to the customize center and downloading the latest tuning data and stuff, but no where have I seen a button for updates nor has one popped up during my playing of the game the past two days...

    But I did get the roster update automatically.

    I'm confused.

      When you load the game (as long as you are connected to the internet) you will be asked to download the latest version of the software - that is the patch my friend. At least that's how it works here in the uk.

        Still freezes and slow UI on PS3 when signed in online. Sad but true. I really frustrated know. No more College Football, no NCAA on next gen, Not even support for NCAA 14. And they do not getting it right for Madden. I am thrilled to buy Madden next gen... or, wait a minute... uhh! 👀

            Ok, I keep reading this question but haven't yet seen an actual answer:

            If you're already playing a CCM, will the patch work it? Or must the player start a new CCM?

              For some fixes for this patch, you have to start over. Its been said in this thread more than once, all you have to do is to back and read instead of getting aggravated because no one answered you.

                It would be nice if they stated what works now and what must be started over to fix.

                  In all fairness, if there were multiple issues that required a restart to work properly, then just restart. Seems like those issues are significant enough to warrant a restart regardless, such as repeating draft classes.

                    All gameplay related fixes do NOT require you to restart your CFM. The things that require you to restart have to do with draft classes and custom rosters.

                    The scheme bug and IR bug have both been confirmed to have been fixed WITHOUT restarting your CFM. The multiple draft classes bug will not be fixed unless your restart; however, there are circumstance where the bug may never manifest itself even without the patch. As far as imported draft classes ratings being more accurate, this will affect future drafts but will not retroactively affect drafts that have already taken place in the CFM. I have not heard anything about rookies not having a facemask and whether or not that requires a restart.

                      I hope your right. Where was this info confirmed? I have been searching for confirmation of these questions.

                        First, I wasn't aggravated. Second, this was the first time I'd asked the question myself. Third, I read the whole thread and no one gave a definitive answer.

                        Other than that, thank you for responding.

                          What is the scheme bug?

                            That sounds viable, but I'd still like to see it confirmed by someone from EA.

                              I installed the patch, started a new CFM using gameface as an owner, and here are my findings (this is on Xbox 360, if that matters):

                              THE GOOD (which is a lot for me, because most of this bugged me)

                              #1 Gameface looks good, no zombie eyes. Mine looks better than it did in Madden 13.

                              #2: IR works! (not sure if it ever did before because I honestly never used it). I simmed the entire season, had 53 men on my roster, with two injured at the end of the season in Wild Card week. Just for the heck of it, I tried to sign a FA. Could not (roster full). I went and put one of my injured guys on IR. Then I was allowed to sign a FA. I repeated the process with a 2nd guy on IR and was allowed to sign a 2nd FA. So it appears that IR works!

                              #3: Schemes work in owner mode! Not only do they save, but they now change the players' overall ratings like they should. I tested using CJ Spiller. I switched my scheme to power back and he dropped to a 78. I put it to speed back and he went up to 87.

                              #4 Draft classes appear to be random now. Year #1 I got the Wade Hancock draft (top QB). Year #2 I got Corbett (top QB). No more Eli Watson as a guarantee in the 2nd draft.

                              #5: No more of my players lined up for the opponent (Bills uni and all). I had turned the game off in disgust pre patch when I saw that. It is fixed now.

                              #6: You can now retire and immediately start with a new character on the same team. At the end of simming my 1st season, I decided to retire as owner of the Bills and immediately become coach of the Bills. It did not use to work, but it did now! Then, just for fun, in week #2 of the season I retired as coach of the Bills and then created a new character as coach of the Bills. A week later in the season I retired that character and became owner of the Bills. A week after that I became a QB of the Bills. I was just messing around to see what would happen, but a lot of people will be happy about this. I prefer to be coach (see my character more, feel more part of the game) but I want a new stadium for the Bills, so I will sim 1st season as the existing owner then retire him and create my Bills coach in the offseason.


                              THE BAD (not a huge deal to me, but they don't seem to have fixed passing stats. Here were the top QBs at the end of the 2013 season that I simmed)

                              Passing YDS (not too bad, 6 guys over 4,000)

                              Rogers 4403
                              Brees 4353
                              Rivers 4247
                              Ryan 4245
                              Roethlisberger 4138
                              Romo 4078
                              Stafford 3741

                              Passing TDs (still seem too low to me)

                              Brees 31
                              Rogers 28
                              P. Manning 27
                              Rivers 24
                              Ryan 24
                              Romo 24
                              Thanks for this post. You answered the main thing I was worried about. One additional question though, did they fix the progression as well in Owner mode? I know before you could spend your XP in your current season, but the ratings would return back to normal during your next season. Did you notice if that was fixed? Thanks for the answer in advance

                                What is the best setting for injuries after the patch reduced injuries? I played a couple of games with it set at 50 but only had one minor injury. I just didn't like my QB getting hurt every game pre-patch but overall I liked the challenge of mutiple injuries per game.
