Re: Madden NFL 16 Title Update #1 Available Now, Roster Update Scheduled For Friday

This is probably nothing, but has anybody tried playing post-patch without the tuner? I've always been a little leery of the tuners, especially after a patch has come out.

I'm playing now without the tuner. So far Matt Ryan hasn't scrambled. He's eluded the rush a few times but then thrown downfield.

I deleted the tuner because after the patch I did not like how my DB's were reacting to long passes, they were letting the receiver jump for the ball while they just stood and watched. After deleting the tuner I liked it a little better. I have not seen the scrambling QB issue at all.

This is my biggest issue right now. I have my safeties letting receivers catch deep passes and taking bad angles when the balls in the air. It so damn annoying.

Looking forward to your findings.

well i'm not sure what is happening. i'm on PS4

just played a half as the 49'ers Vs the Pats.

Brady's stats at half time

12 - 17 161 yards 2TD's. No sacks, no rushing yards, he left the pocket once only to get to around the line of scrimmage and throw the ball away.

He wasn't even hanging onto the ball for long. lots of slants and quick hitters. He hit Gronk for a 49 yard TD and LaFell for a 18 yard TD and had another long conversion with edelmann for about 36 yards.

pretty much played a tom brady-esque, perfect half of football.


i'm not sure what some people are seeing, but i'm not noticing any difference with the qb play, post-patch.

After the tuner, i notice tackling isn't as effective. lots more busted tackles and this is a really good thing, imo ...

It's becoming evident on a daily basis that EA needs to get some people on the development team that know what they are doing because the current crew is not cutting it.

It's as if they don't test anything and just hope it will either work or go unnoticed.

It's funny before the patch I loved what the tuner did for gameplay. It's amazing how the more they try to fix the game the more gets broken....oh well I am happy with how it played without the tuner and will start my offline CFM and hope the next patch comes out before my second season.

I think the problem is not player development, is that the sim engine sim way to many sacks. several times i saw 12 sacks being simulated. Since there are sacks, some OL has to allowed them. It´s a chain reaction.

How many minutes are your simulated games? Are all non sack related stats at par with the NFL per game average?

Ive played one game against the Texans and it seemd fine to me. Mallet ran 3 or 4 times but his receivers were completely covered and he threw the ball away at times as well.

I'm just saying the anger over EA getting a patch out quicker than they ever have before is a little over the top to me.

Honest question kehlis, how is it over the top for me to be angry? The game released Aug 25, so roughly two weeks ago. We're looking at another 2 possibly 3 weeks until another patch MIGHT fix the issues.

Now my dad and my cousin purchase every year to run a CFM together. They dont get on OS so they dont know of the issues and I have to explain to them why our CFM still has yet to start.

Its frustrating when you run out to buy the game release day but its not until a month or more later maybe you can get started enjoying what you spent money on.

Now we "could" start our CFM now but if we get through multiple seasons we are going to run into problems that break our CFM forcing us to lose all our hard earned progress and restart.

So my question, why do you feel its over the top for me to be angry that this continues to happen every year? I enjoy the game but dont buy the game for "play now". I guess my point, the game not working as intended is not my fault but falls fully on the development team. It is their job to deliver a product which supports the quality people expect.

Sim stats doesn't take consideration quarter length. Unless you super sim. I don't.

OK, so I deleted the tuner and replayed the same game (Bills vs Pats) and its totally different now. I'm putting pressure on Brady again and he's getting rid of the ball fast, checking down and getting incompletions... I dunno, Im stumped.

I'm not sure that they actually knew what was causing the LT regression, because it seems clear that they didn't fix it. I get the feeling that they will probably just stay silent on the issue and fix it in the next patch 6 weeks from now, but without mentioning in those patch notes that they did so.



I hope that some issues are ameliorated when the new roster comes out, but right now CFM seems like a complete disaster.

They knew (see reddit AMA few days ago) but admitted it was a complicated/dynamic fix that would have a domino effect and may impact other aspects of the game.

As such, we are ahead of the game for M17

Re: Madden NFL 16 Title Update #1 Available Now, Roster Update Scheduled For Friday

LOL

CFM Fixes -
Addressed issue where players could receive over 100 confidence resulting in a short-term attribute boost
Tuned regression for offensive linemen
Tuned rookie deep accuracy rating
Tuned supersim stats where pocket quarterbacks were generating too many rushing attempts

It's funny to think some people actually praise EA for fixing these after launch in a couple of weeks. If you played 1 season on a brand new copy of the game you could find these issues. If that doesn't show the lack of testing I dn what does. EA must have some great PR people posting in these forums if your really gonna praise them for a "quick patch". I understand if certain game play features need tuning or quick patches but core fundamental aspects of a game mode should be unacceptable these days. However its just become the standard of video games these days. Push it out every year collect the money and maybe 5 months after release the game will be solid. People saying well lets wait till the October patch LMAO. Over a month after release you have to wait to play your favorite game mode on a game you paid for, laughable.

It's post like yours that is the prime reason why I made my thread and why it remains accurate. Negative and never proactive. Not the right mind set brotha

Honest question kehlis, how is it over the top for me to be angry?

So to be fair, I never once said YOU couldn't be angry about this game not being acceptable for to play RIGHT NOW and made that clear in my post which I've posted again below.

My exact quote was made to a poster who was complaining about this patch which has been released quicker than we've ever got one.


If I disagreed with the disappointments you posted earlier in this thread, I would have quoted you in disagreement, but I don't.

The game released Aug 25, so roughly two weeks ago. We're looking at another 2 possibly 3 weeks until another patch MIGHT fix the issues.

Now my dad and my cousin purchase every year to run a CFM together. They dont get on OS so they dont know of the issues and I have to explain to them why our CFM still has yet to start.

So my question, why do you feel its over the top for me to be angry that this continues to happen every year? I enjoy the game but dont buy the game for "play now". I guess my point, the game not working as intended is not my fault but falls fully on the development team. It is their job to deliver a product which supports the quality people expect.

I can pre-emptively answer some of your responses before you quote me:

Yes. I know it didn't fix everything.

No, I am not excusing anything. I know there are still problems.

Yes, I honestly feel badly for those who can't play the game due to whatever issue is making them feel that way.


They attempted to address an immediate need and got a patch out quicker than they ever have. I am in no way calling for immediate praise for this patch.

I'm just saying the anger over EA getting a patch out quicker than they ever have before is a little over the top to me.

Again, if you read not just my post but the post but the post I was responding to you might see my perspective a little more.

I never once said there is no one that should not be angry about this. I simply was saying that those that were mad over the lack of what this patch fixed aren't necessarily seeing all the angles.


You have every right to be angry about not being able to play since release, but I don't think it would have been realistic to expect a patch released in two weeks to fix what you needed it to fix.
