The Biggest Madden Patch Ever Arrives Today, New Mode and Various Bug Fixes

Re: The Biggest Madden Patch Ever Arrives Today, New Mode and Various Bug Fixes

When the patch first came out I played a game with my year 6 Rams Franchise where I have the second highest rated team in the game and I won by a couple of scores as I should have. Default AP

Started a new Franchise with the Jaguars who are of course lowly rated and opened against the Panthers. I lost 31-15 in a game that wasn't that close, and got my *** beat in a way that I never have in Madden before. No CPU shenanigans, just better players being more physical and executing better than me. J. Stewart went for 228 on me, it was beautiful. Default AP

Going to enjoy the hell out of building my team back up to a elite team, especially with how sound the CPU plays now.

I...am...surprised

Is no one else seeing the player regression, especially for QBs and LTs in offline CFM come playoffs and post season, even after having a good season with QB and LT?
I mean seriously, QBs throwing for 40+ TDs and less than 10 INTs yet when you start the playoffs I see QBs dropping 10+ points in sac, Mac and dac. Cmon man!
LTs still giving up huge sack counts like 30+ .. Ridiculous. Have tried this after downloading the new patch and playing then I deleted the game entirely and started fresh, same problem.

Actually rookies are generated when you advance from preseason week 4 to week 1 of the regular season.

They're not generated at all.
All ratings/traits for every player in each of the 30 draft classes are already established.
The system just chooses a random draft class, but again, players are not generated at any time in a CFM.

Glorious that I can play Madden and get whipped by the CPU on default sliders. Not tinkering with sliders has definitely increased my enjoyment of this game. The other 2 games I play with minimal slider adjustments? MLB The Show and NBA 2K. To me, that says a lot about Madden 16.

Gonna need to source that one. Per EA, draft classes have been random since last year, and most everyone seems to agree they are indeed randomized so that each player is unique to that CFM.

I restarted my Vikings cfm and started up against the niners. Kaepernick is killing me. I actually have to change my scheme to try and contain him. Its playing very, very nice. Hes got about 40 yards in the first half running.

Me, too. But the opposite teams. Peterson ran all over me. It was beautiful.

My response was about "Generated Players" in CFM, not about the randomness of a draft class.
Key word was "CFM" so I don't know why M12 would be referenced at all here.

Re: The Biggest Madden Patch Ever Arrives Today, New Mode and Various Bug Fixes

Wish someone could reach out to Rex and ask him to define the min positional ratings needed in Madden to be defined as "Elite", since there were several tweaks to the match ups they are interacting in.

Is it when a positional rating hit the "90'ish" mark and above?

Would help a lot with defining what marks to look for and progress towards with rookie players in CFM.

Not looking for a generalized "A. Rogers" response, but the exact rating marks that the "game" looks at that determines he's elite from others in the position.

Just saw this... Haven't booted up in a week. Has the QB cam been fixed in CFM?

If you mean if you have it turned off and it still shows up from the zoomed camera view then the answer is no. It is still there.

Anyone have any good penalties settings. Not seeing many penalties. I play on All Star default 13 mins and only see about for penalties a game.

Re: The Biggest Madden Patch Ever Arrives Today, New Mode and Various Bug Fixes

I don't know, let me preface by saying, I was getting Really Happy last night when i fired up the game, so i'm sure that had something to do with it, but man, this game just completely blew me out of the water!

It's the "100's" of things they didn't list in the patch notes that make a (in my best donald trump voice) YUGE difference.

About like M16.5 really.

I went into my franchise game last night 4-10 with the Browns and the Raiders left on my schedule. Got absolutely rocked by the Browns 30-7. I was a bit pissed because these were 2 games i was pretty sure i had a chance of winning. I normally would have thrown in the towel and simmed to the end of the game, but i just couldn't stop playing.

Been a big fan of the A&S sliders, i might have to consider going back to a default slider base for my final game and see how it goes.

I certainly think that the Madden team quit screwing around with franchise/game play/etc. This is a game completely Nailed. Just a thought, but since it looks like they are serious about making this game mode great, it could be good that they have a cash cow generating revenue. They can easily use the funds to push the game further than ever.

Anyhow, Thanks team for such a beautiful effort. I'm blown away.

Question, does anybody know if the custom play book thing where int needed to be loaded before each game was addressed?

off sides false start at 65, PI and offense and defensive holding at 60. Face Mask 55. Those are play now.

In CFM you can change them one click at a time so put block in the back at 51 and rough passer at 51 in CFM.

Re: The Biggest Madden Patch Ever Arrives Today, New Mode and Various Bug Fixes

I apologize if this has been mentioned but I am on the XBOX 1 and I wanted to start fresh with Madden so I uninstalled the game and then reinstalled it. The game was installed but I was never prompted to download a patch. Was the patch installed as I reinstalled the game? Also, when I loaded the game it showed that the game was loading my profile, sliders, and everything else that it loads when you start the game...so confused. I'm not even sure if my game uninstalled to begin with...Can someone please give me some advice on what to do? Thank you so much!
