I truly believe that the FBG rosters were sabotaged. It makes no sense that they would go from playing so well to so crappy. That may have possibly had something to do with EA adjusting the gameplay in a way that took the sense of weight from the players, and toned down true step. I just bet Donnie Moore, for the first time, saw the FBG rosters as a threat to his job, because this is the first year that a complete FBG rated: roster has come to fruition.

It's no secret that Dan should be doing that job , because he is more passionate, and much more qualified.

I back that hypothesis 100%...I also support Dan doing the job...

Oh by the way, I did receive a PM from one of the game changers, stating that they were going to try to get the ratings lowered for future Maddens. Hopefully, they will be able to make some progress with the great Czar

I agree with most of what ur saying but am only going to touch on one part of ur post that is extremely important in my eyes..play calling..it's down right boring..and it's based on "boring" gameplans..just check the playbooks..most or if not all do not use 50% of the Playbooks as it is..then as an example look at 3 and long calls..almost if not all are some version of 4 verts..these gameplans need to be completely reworked and I believe that will provide a better game play in general without any other changes

One thing they could do is use a version of what 2k football did with they're VIP system. How cool would it be to be able to download user created play styles? Or play against your own play style

One final note I'll make, before I get off of the subject is that it's not so much a concern that his ratings are questionable, it's that the depth charts aren't right. It is the missing players and players on the wrong team , that is most concerning. His only job is to make sure that the rosters are correct, as that is the job he advertises is his. The quality of the work, makes me wonder what this guy does with his time... Just saying

So a bit off topic here but how can I avoid these automatic patch installs?

I am a relatively new PS4 owner and my console is usually off net. I hooked up my connection today to download the FIFA patch and got both without even starting either game. I poked around the menus a bit and under 'notifications' I see there is a check box for downloads but this does not feel definitive.

Is there a way to set up my PS4 so that I can control patch content?

Thanks.

My mistake was putting the console into "rest mode" to charge the controller...

The only way you can avoid the patch is to sign out of PS4 network and NEVER use "rest mode" that has some "auto download" aspect to it...

That's ALL I can think of...

After being warned a few months ago by Mill for the same exact thing you probably should have moved on from the "Donny Moore sucks" rhetoric about 5 posts ago. Talk about the game not about the person.

And for someone who was banned not long ago for the same exact thing to come in and ask for him to be fired??

I think everyone should move on.

As "tin foil hat" as this could come off, it's also the first thing I thought of when I read your post patch posts (say THAT three times fast!)...

Every year we come up with workarounds based on Coach Philosophy Sliders / Player Priorities / Penalties to Affect Gameplay / and many more that I simply can't recall off the top of my head, only to see those options neutered or removed in their entirety thereafter...

Been here tooooooo long NOT to notice all that...coincidence or not or maybe?

SEC and Dan..I will say this about ratings..madden has shown for years that if a average to above average Pro complains enough rating will change which effects other parts of the game..just look at whining jermaine gresham..didn't like his rating won't let them face scan him..this job of rating for the better of the game and gamers needs to be done without outside interference (the rating person should be unknown)...overalls should be removed..and baselines need to be brought down..or and most importantly allow us to tweak "in game"..

Baselines need to be brought down... key words

[4thQtrStre5S]

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

I just cut complainers like jermaine gresham from their team and send them to free agency, or I completely destroy their ratings...Like I do with Michael Vick...

Okay, on a practical FWIW:

I found that post patch, the broken tackles increased, as the blocking as a whole took a hit...

Simply adding +5 to both HUM and CPU RBK while reducing -5 from both HUM and CPU FUM restored the balance I HAD in the run game pre patch, to an acceptable degree...

Also: shifting my QBA from HUM @ 7 / CPU @ 3 to HUM @ 6 / CPU @ 3 looks like it had the same "restorative" impact on passing balance...

Lastly, in tuning the HUM PCV lower to minimize USER sacks, they also increased the CPU pass rush and coverage as a result...creating an imbalance in pursuit in both pass rush and run defense...

Overall, when one slider goes up (either with sliders or the tuning "behind" the sliders) it has a twofold effect...raising the intended category, while inadvertently reducing the opponent's counterpart setting...

That's my take, so perhaps looking at similar areas may also work for others to get back to as close to pre patch as possible...

I have yet to see a detailed list of what sliders do in the game and how they interact and affect parts of the game, from EA/Tiburon...Yet, here they are messing with them...I wish they would let the rest of us know what these sliders do, but I fear, they are just as unsure as any of us who have tinkered with the sliders ourselves.

Here's a thought . Why don't we take a play out of the old sec playbook, and since I don't have the game anymore, try removing the game, because that is how you're going to have to remove the patch. How is the game play without a patch or tuner? I didn't try this, sadly, before I got rid of the game. I let my rage get the best of me. Just curious. It may be possible to save the game. Heck, who knows, it may resolve a lot of issues.

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

i love this madden with my current sliders after the patch... The cpu makes under and over throws...the sacks are gone...I am getting presdured and have a 60% completion percentage....so does the cpu


only problem I am having is the user running game seems to strong....I have cpu tackle at 100 user run block at 0 and am still averaging 7 yds a carry where my oline is getting 3 yards down field every time and I am the steelers...any suggestions to help this would be appreciated

try raising clipping. I don't know why this worked for me, but it did. You will still get some big gains but I was having the same problem until I did this. Go up gradually to your liking.

Guys, target had the game on sale for 25 bucks and I really wanted to try out a theory. I'm streaming on my Twitter Channel right now without a patch installed. And you guys will see that I am seeing some very interesting things. Come join me if you have a second
