Re: Madden NFL 16 Title Update #2 Available Now, Full Details Included

Just played my first game post patch and had 11 sacks on Brady and a few other times that I almost had him. Now this is not really because of the patch though. More because of my slider adjustments. I have yet to start a CFM in part because I was wanting for this patch and in part because I have yet to find good enough sliders for me. There are a few things I am still trying to find the right balance for. 1. sacks and pressure on the QB I had been lowering the slider and I find at even like 30 I get no pressure. Now this last game with all of those sacks I had CPU pass blocking at 10 and things looked really bad. I think I need to try a few games at 20-25 and see what happens.


2. Run blocking for CPU. I am finding either the CPU run blocking is to good or there is no Run blocking. The last patch I felt like improved run blocking a lot though so I think 50 for this might be fine. 3. My run blocking kind of the same has the CPU. At 50 there is no run blocking at all. Had it up to like 68 at one point but then it was a little to good. I have had it at 65 for a while and now to many games where my yards are like 2-3 per rush. I think I need to have this at like 66-67. 4. This is the final thing but tackling. At 45 not enough broken tackles. At like 40 maybe to many. Going to most likely keep this at like 40.

I have a few questions about CFM. Where do you see player progression for CPU players? I cant not find it for the life of me. Also what about retired players?

I uninstalled Madden 16, cleared the cache and am now in the process of installing it again. So I'll have a fresh, newly installed game with the latest patch. Anything anyone wants me to test out? Maybe we don't just need a to restart CFM but reinstall the entire game for some elements of the patch to work

I now have no game commentary in an existing offline CFM franchise.

Edit: It was a sound bar issue, not the game, phew.

Starting to think I should go down to rookie to really test out the drive goal thing...lol! I'm 0-3 and currently getting blasted by the Saints.

Anyway, my team-wide confidence still looks very reasonable, both because of only getting drive goal confidence in one game (and only one point) and because of multiple negative confidence drops due to bad performance. I'll screenshot the CFM menu depth chart when I finish this game - it does look strikingly different from pre-patch.

This sounds real encouraging.

So wait, they possibly did tune down the rewards for drive goals?

This will be good news if true…

I think it's just coincidence so far. I play with the drive goal visuals off so i can't see what they are. It helps me not to aim to complete them. So completing less of them = less reward. I'm assuming if i specifically tried to complete every drive goal that there would still be a confidence issue.

Do you have to restart offline cfm?

Oh, bummer. I got excited. Thanks for clarification though.

However you make a good point about turning off visuals. That could work. But since Booker21's workaround is so easy and turns it off completely I'll keep doing that.

I just started a new cfm and did some test with it. Now I only played one game but I did a lot of test with this before with the drive goals and I am the one that figured out that if you run a 32 team offline league that there are no drive goals. Well I think me and a few others figured that out lol. Anyways I played 3 games and you don't get conf like before. In those 3 games I have completed on avg 6 drive goals a game and only one gave me conf. All others was just xp. Also you lose more conf now for loses and other stuff like fumbles and yards givin up and not rushing or passing well etc.... I know that happened before but it seems like a lot more is being lost. So over 3 games and about 18 drive goals completed only 1 gave conf. I have to say that what they did with it now is great. Makes use them fun and not op. A good way to get xp for players. I also seen a few I have never seen before that makes them harder to get. Instead of 3 rushes it was 6 lol. Hard to do that one.

4.8 in my first game vs the Giants and 2.7 at the half of a second game with the same matchup (I restarted CFM to test the drive goal thing). Seems okay so far.



Default everything, all-pro.

Yeah. I'm currently 4.9 with my starter rb. I guess those first few games were abnormal.

Here is a pic. I know not a great one but whatever. Just to show prove about the drive goals to the haters lol.

Re: Madden NFL 16 Title Update #2 Available Now, Full Details Included

Thanks for pointing that out.

This was one of the biggest complaints from posters in here yesterday because it wasn't in the patch notes, but I do understand that.

It just takes someone to play through several games before one notices it's fixed.

So, one of the concerning issues looks like it was worked on and much better now.

I'm soooo happy shading work. Played my brother online last night who is a slants abuser and shading inside finally started taking away those routes forcing him into holding onto the ball or making bad throws. Feels like there's strategy involved now.

Re: Madden Patch #2 Is Live

As far as I can see from the patch notes they haven't addressed anything related to drive goals or overall. All the patch notes are in the first post in this thread so scroll up

I did read it and it says the 100 bug fixes so I was curious if it fixed it. My bad for asking a question on a forum related to the topic.
