1.03 is the latest version. So if you've got that, you've got the patch.

Can we get a JJ Watt patch?

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

Why for the love of God can't EA just give us sim engine sliders??? Pre-patch passing was too low, rushing was too high. Now post-patch teams barely employ a 2-HB system anymore and passing numbers are just TOO high! Not to mention the sim engine barely has ANY sacks by year 10. Plenty of good pass rushers but those robo-sim QB's and their o-lines are unstoppable in sim. And pre and post patch, running QB's and receiving HB's barely do anything. Just pathetic EA.

I haven't noticed any difference to the pass rush post patch, but I feel like user control on offense has been severely neutered. Is any one else seeing this?

I'm not entirely sure how to describe it properly, I just feel like I have far less control of my players movements, like they stop after the catch to allow a tackle, and suction tackling in general (for the AI) seems to have been bumped up a notch. It could be a placebo effect, but I'm curious to see what everyone else is experiencing on their ends.

Ran a test sim and the passing stats are better, but 26 starting QB's had a completion percentage of 65% or higher. Seems high, no? Is there any way that we can tone this down?

Oh no that dose seemed high. I don't know how many where at 65 or above in real life last year but I am sure it wasn't even close to 26.

C'mon guys, you should now better by now. The biggest problem with complaining about something wrong with Madden is the "fix" will likely break multiple other things. You should have been expecting this!

Last year six QBs had a completion percentage over 65%. 25 were over 60% so the sim stats are probably 5% too high based on 2013. However, there are 16 QBs at 65% or more so far in 2014 (if you round). So I wouldn't call this a major sim issue just yet.

Anybody else notice players showing up twice on the medical report now in game? I'll see Josh Gordon there twice for the same injury. Not sure if that's a post patch glitch or not.

Also I started a goofing around franchise and I can't change the play calling menu to have X (cross) in the middle. It never sticks when I try to change it in game and I've got it at X out of game too. Not sure but my older franchise still has it at X so it messes me up when I bounce back and forth between the two franchises.

I definitely notice the misfires on short throws. I like this. I'm also enjoying my attempt at All-Madden. The cpu QBs don't take the same high number of sacks as all-pro (at least the good QBs don't).

Just curious - are you on default All Madden while trying this? I'm toying with something in sliders right now and this may answer a question I have.

Starting to notice this too. Maybe I just got better, but AM is starting to play a lot better for me in general. Loathe as I am knowing that the CPU has boosted abilities on that level, if it does even a little to minimize the sack problem I'll take the leap and unbalance the sliders if I have to cut down some of its bs.

No. I have user QB accuracy at 10 and cpu at 30 based on various slider sets and my personal preferences. Can't say how it is at default.

I'm a lousy passer. I put both cpu pass reaction and coverage at 0 to give me a chance. I still threw 3 INTs last game with Manziel. It's easily the weakest part of my game and a big reason I usually try to avoid all-Madden but I do like it so far.

Do you mind sharing your sliders? I want to give it a shot. whatever it cut down CPU Sacks is welcome.

No promises with these and remember - I'm a terrible passer! Raise cpu pass defense accordingly. Use the All-Madden set on the right. I gave up on All-Pro but have left those up there. The sack issue would probably be better on default All-Madden than these which tone down the cpu passing game.

The problem with EA cpu QB play has normally been they are too stupid on All-Pro (they are better this year) and too-smart (aka Robo QB) on All-Madden. We don't see enough of a spread between the good and bad ones. SO much of how good a cpu QB plays depends on how much time they get in the pocket. Everyone begs EA for a realistic pass rush before a game releases but having less than 3 seconds to throw a ball would kill me and it kills the cpu. So having more time really helps the cpu on All-Madden but too much time makes them too deadly as well. Tough balancing act.
