Really surprised to hear you say that this game plays better after the update, charter. I spent all afternoon with this game, and all I can say, is that Tiburon wrecked it. This gameplay reminds me of Madden 13, which was a terrible game. I'm done with it. I tried default sliders and rosters. They dumbed down the pass defense, which is the first thing I noticed. Before the patch the corners and safeties, as well as linebackers, were very aggressive with my settings. Now, I can't get them to be aggressive on any settings. I throw all over the field.

Please don't take offense to this, I know you have been around on OS for years and helped a lot of people out, but wondering if you think that because you have been disappointed with the initial game, that maybe you are looking for problems? Lots of people have said that the game feels better etc.

Like I said, not having a go, just thought it could be a case of the "reverse placebo" effect. If you are expecting rubbish, it will be.

Why would I take offense to this? You know, it's funny because I thought about the "reverse placebo" thing last night, and promised myself that today, I would give the game a chance, to see if there was anything I could do to correct some of the changes the patch made. I came home from work and spent the afternoon with the game. The game speed is much faster and feels much less fluid. The players lack the sense of weight that existed before the patch. The animations feel much more robotic. Last night, I noticed that my test running back's legs would get tangled up in an odd animation I most definitely did not see before the patch, and the movement actually caused a stutter.

Pass defense seems dumbed down, as the secondary lacks the aggression they had pre-patch. Admittedly, you are right that this game was a disappointment, as it has been since Madden 12, so, you are correct in your point that I am looking for issues within the game. But, that is what I do... I analyze... I am sure that what I am seeing after the patch is not placebo.

One thing I noticed late last night and early this morning was that I had my setting on All Madden then I would go into a play now game and at some point in the first half it would switch the difficulty to Pro. I noticed the kick meter would get slow and show the three kick points. I made sure it was right before the game too. I finally switched from AM in the main menu and switched it back to AM. Works fine now. I wonder if anyone else has had this happen and not notice it during testing.

Just throwing that out there

Just out of curiosity, are you testing with the FBG rosters, or using default rosters?

'Cause, overall, I thik my experience so far is matching that of Charters, and just wondering if that is the difference?

This patch has destroyed my Madden Franchise! Using Armor and Swords sliders I'm playing Washington and I'm Houston and at half im losing 28-7. Houston has a good D and a great front line and I can't stop anything.

Griffin 8-8 passing for 128 and 2 TD's and 1 carry for 21
Morris 9-96 and a TD at one point he broke 7 tackles

Mallet 6-17 82 and a TD and been sacked 6 times
Foster 8-24 and my WR have dropped 4 open passes

I can't stop Washingtons offense for ****!

in reference to the player likeness update, i dont understand how they can fix 160 player models, but still havent fixed AHMAD BROOKS with the niners, it drives me crazy its not even like hes some under the radar unknown player in that case it'd be whatever... along with other players still too..
i really honestly would care less about these small fixes if we could have a decent offline franchise with real physics...... ugh

I found a hard to sack now. Getting maybe 3 a game compared to 3 per d-lineman. My secondary sucks now but I am playing with the bears and they don't have jack for line backers or CB's so it was kinda nice I'm not leading the league in defence. I don't know seemed way more realistic the games I played I was gonna give up because I found the game too easy and dumb with the sacks. Actually enjoyed playing games the last few games on cfm. Hope things go better for you boys

When a patch comes out its best to try default stuff to see how it plays. Sliders are made based on previous tuning. Just my 2 cents

I was not prompted to download, just directed to the updated player patch. If we have instant on on xbox one does it automatically save patch? Where do we see what patch version we have?
*Edit I am confused is the player likeness download actually the patch as well? I saw people say something about a 3 gig update for XBOX ONE?

I have two say, two of the three best games of Madden 15 I've played, I've played post patch. Two me, it feels the game plays better (not getting sacks quite as easily . . . still too many, probably, but does some a little harder), and I feel the rest of the offense and defense is well balanced . . .

I played madden earlier to see what the uniform updates looked like like. I noticed the Eagles gat the nike elite update. But they're flywire actually shines. It reflects the light off the collar. No other team that has the flywire collar does that. Also the Vikings has the shiny collar as well. Weird

Re: Madden NFL 15 Update 1.04 Has Arrived, 398 MB

Just had a thought. People saying the game plays faster. Maybe that was the point.

I remember many people saying that when you put the game on fast/very fast the sacks were toned down due to the O-line getting to the block quicker.

Maybe they increased this game speed a touch to help with that?

Re: Madden NFL 15 Update 1.04 Has Arrived, 398 MB

Sooooooo...really stoked they fixed the uniforms :-/. however I would like to know if they fixed the IR bug issue. The one where your guy is hurt comes of the injury report and never goes back into the depth chart. Let me know if you guys have seen this fixed.
