Re: Madden NFL 15 Patch 1.03 Available Now, Details Not Released Yet

Yeah, it sounds like they didn't fix the funding issue for small market teams.

Man, this is disappointing. Especially considering there is a huge thread going complaining about it and we tweeted them, emailed them and stuff.

I don't see how they view this as not broken.

*siiiiigh* ..... I really wanted to do a Browns franchise but I would always finish with just 6-8 million even if I managed a winning record (6 million would barely cover my draft picks , let alone beig able to sign FA's).

Man, I'm so disappointed with EA right now.

Someone needs to check what the weekly revenue sharing #'s are. I would imagine if they increased that then they may have tweaked things.

FYI, this is posted on EA's forums about what was fixed in this latest patch.

Okay, so the first game wasn't encouraging as far as the sacks were concerned. Manning and Rodgers each went down 7 times. There is some context needed here though - the defense was tight and pretty much all of those sacks were coverage sacks. While it's true they were still holding the ball too long, it's because there was nobody open. If this is a trend over multiple games, it might be much more fixable with a defensive slider tweak than it was pre-patch (when they were just holding the ball regardless of guys being open). The defense might be able to stand being loosened up a bit to free up the WR's to make plays.

Aside from the sacks, the numbers looked pretty good IMO. I was especially surprised by the number of carries Denver's backup HB Hillman got. I left Fatigue at 50 for this test so I'm wondering if they tweaked the fatigue a bit. I'm going to highlight the stats screens out of my twitch stream so you guys can look at them if you want.

Penalties: Nonexistent except for a false start and delay of game call. Sliders were at 50 but I doubt this part of the game isn't going to be much different.

As has been said, I really want to know the patch notes before jumping to any conclusions.

so sacks are not fixed. both teams giving 6 sacks on a game that we know it has many sacks, with a patch that we are hoping it help the sack issue... no, sacks are the same as before.

QB hold the ball because it don`t find anyone open an take the sack. Just throw the ball away.

So mad at ea right now.

Why do we have to wait for patch details?

It takes two weeks (roughly) for the patch to go through Sony/MS. Wouldn't they prepare the details for when it is released?

OK, that's exactly the same as before.

So they definitely didn't fix offline CFM finances.

Screw it, I'm trading Madden in while it's still worth something.

So they didn't fix the sack issue or the owner mode finances...All this time for to fix just SIM stats?

Re: Madden NFL 15 Patch 1.03 Available Now, Details Not Released Yet

by several reviews it seems Sacks was not fixed it.

Seeing many reports with users with many sacks.

I don`t get it. This was not an issue last year, i think it was never an issue. What happened??

This is killing the game i guess i will have to keep waiting

I haven't gotten to play the game with the patch it but that is the problem with madden is ever year something that wasn't a problem ends up being a new problem the next year. 1 year there where to many fumbles they fixed it and then another year it was robo qb and then they fixed it and then it was super line backers ect.

I'd like to say I'm surprised they fixed so little.

But I'm not.

I fully expect next year to be the usual glitch fest as well, with a 6 week patch that fixes a tiny fraction of the issues.

And the year after that and after that.

At least until they fire Looman or get rid of exclusive licenses.

Guy spent 8 months designing those terrible looking uniforms while apparently neglecting a multitude of glitches and issues in CFM.

Man I wish I could piss all over my job and suffer no consequences.

"Oh, our game is a chronic glitch fest? Right, well, I'm gunna draw some ugly pictures for 8 months. Where my check?"

I wonder if the problem with small market teams losing money is due to simming instead of being engaged and hands on with the franchise.

I finished year 1 with the Rams + $35 million by doing things like trading high priced players for draft picks, filling holes with free agents and adjusting prices.

What's the good word yet on whether or not we have to restart existing offline CFMs?

Re: Madden NFL 15 Patch 1.03 Available Now, Details Not Released Yet

Easy, everyone. Wait until the patch list has been released. And no 'Fire The Devs' talk will be tolerated.

Re: Madden Patch?

Big question, is does it fix the fact that the CPU QB takes endless sacks a game?

The cynic in me says they will mainly be interested in fixing things that improve the gravy train that is UT. I hope I am proved wrong.

the fix for this has been pretty much found and solved

Just throw the ball away? That's intentional grounding. There is no 'throw the ball at the Receiver's feet' button in Madden. So game mechanics on Pocket Passers are try to find someone open.

As bcruise said - It's one game, and it's CPU vs CPU. Wait until you call a game against the CPU QB.

Bcruise - what were the CPU QB stats like for Manning and Rodgers? I have a guy running a Wqshington CFM who just played the NFC Championship against the Seahawks and the Super bowl against the Broncos. His stats were:

Russell Wilson: 16/27, 185 yards, 4 INT.
Peyton Manning: 15/25, 171 yards, 1 TD 1 INT.

This was default except Human Coverage at 60 (what we play with and he forgot to change it back to default). He had 5 sacks against Manning - 3 user sacks with Orakpo, a coverage sack, and a screen pass that was covered that Manning ate.

turn defensive graphics from off or on to full...


this has been tested and proves to greatly help with the qb sacks
