Re: Madden NFL 15 Title Update #2 Available Now, Details Included

I just witnessed a sack - CPU v. CPU where Safety Roman Harper of the Panthers lines up over Steeler's center Pouncey and at the snap of the ball Harper essentially tosses Pouncey to one side and runs untouched to sack the QB....

Anyone noticing, similar cases, where someone other than a DL player is lined up on the line and the offensive lineman essentially is unable to block the player?

May be a fluke, but then may be a bug; and since i am in play now, I am not sure which plays were called by each side.

damn it.... it said there were uniform changes? WHAT UNIFORM CHANGES?

- Tuned down QB accuracy for lower tiered QB's, especially on passes under 10 yards

I use coach mode (don't control the players) and the problem wasn't lower tiered QB's being too accurate, it was all QB's being too accurate and not just on passes under 10 yards.

I haven't played a game post patch but I wonder if they fixed the problem.

I don't know which ones they added, but I do know the reigning MVP and best QB in the game Peyton Manning is still glitched. Please fix this EA.

Colin Kaepernick is still holding the ball low when he sets. Not sure if he's still the only QB in the game doing it, but he doesn't do that in real life that's for certain.

I play coach mode as well and it is NOT fixed. % complete still too high for most QBs. Sacks are not fixed either.

Do I need to restart my online CFM for this update to take effect?

Re: Madden NFL 15 Title Update #2 Available Now, Details Included

So EA implemented a few improvements but the most significant issues were not fixed (save for one, the sim stats). Ok. Wasn't the community told for weeks by the usual apologists here to "relax, the patch is coming"? That EA was "fixing things" so we should "be patient?"

Guess I'll fire this thing up and see what the fuss is about.

I keep reading about sack issues but every game I play on All Madden I get about 3 sacks per game and get sacked 2-4 times. From what I have seen seems like sack issue on All Pro.

I am a longtime casual Madden player (Super Nintendo) and this years Madden is challenging for me on Pro sadly enough... that being said, I don't have sack issues either... maybe I'm that terrible but I doubt it.

IMO the biggest game breaker is Offline CFM's financial issues. The massive TV revenue profit sharing that keeps the NFL so competitive is nowhere to be seen in this game. The funds concept makes no sense with teams well below the cap. This isn't an MLB game EA.

Did anyone else get the prompt from EA asking to rate the game when they've started the game? I got a pop-up last night asking me to rate the game and give an explanation of why I gave the rating I did (i.e. Which mode sucked the most)... sounds like another patch is on the horizon. So far I feel pretty cheated by this game... I should have waited.

That's what I wanted to know. Could someone tell us about the uniform fixes please?

That's unfortunate. My problem is on all pro I can't lose and on Madden I can't win. I guess I need better sliders on Madden although I would prefer the developers to release a game which doesn't need massive slider adjustments.

I'm guessing the user quarterback doesn't run still either?

Thanks for the reply.

where are you following these comments?

anyone else have an issue where deep thrown balls by CPU QBs are 90% INT due to bullet passes instead of lobs which gives my CBs great angles for the INTS?
i have yet to see one lob deep pass from any CPU QB.

Twitter. One of the developers is pretty good about always responding to my questions and comments.

It is interesting that originally he stated that they investigated the matter and found no problems.

After myself and a few others made a few comments he then acknowledged that there may be a problem but he implied that it is one that is too big for a patch. Nothing against the guy because I am thankful for his involvement but I am not buying it. I think they just overlooked it and are covering their rear.

I asked for some possible suggestions so that we the users may alleviate the problem, e.g. does QB acc slider affect behavior, traits, etc but he avoided answering that.

If they weren't now they are definitely aware of the issue now and how unhappy we are about it. But clint is a good guy and I try not to bash him or anything.

IMO the biggest game breaker is Offline CFM's financial issues. The massive TV revenue profit sharing that keeps the NFL so competitive is nowhere to be seen in this game. The funds concept makes no sense with teams well below the cap. This isn't an MLB game EA.

Unfortunately, I think that is a design choice. I read somewhere that they felt Owner Mode was not tough enough, and so wanted to make it more difficult, especially for poor/small market teams. Whether this is difficult in a realistic fashion is debatable, but, they definitely met the goal of making it more difficult.

Of course, since neither the actual salary numbers or the bonus rules (not counting against the CAP) match real life, it is sort of useless to complain the revenue sharing does not match it either. It is true, that not all small market teams are able to fund to the full salary cap limit (hence why there is also a salary floor), so in a sense Madden 15 simulates that, by forcing small market teams to use smaller bonuses and more "CAP Money," which fills their CAP faster (since all Madden teams seam to get their full CAP to play with).

A more realistic system would be desirable, but the current compromise sort of works if it was tweaked a little. Anyway, like I said, it is not a bug so much as an unfortunate design decision . . .
