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

Good morning,

Currently looking for assistance with two issues/questions.

The first is a repeat question that was asked by myself and another gentlemen earlier, but seemed to get buried and received no response.

1. Any visual cues to let me know if I actually have the new patch? I uninstalled/reinstalled the game and received no indication that a patch downloaded. The game also loaded up all of my previous settings like I never uninstalled. I was under the impression that I'd have to redo sliders, settings, etc.

2. Anyone know the difference between the Pass Coverage and Reaction sliders? I've been setting them under the assumption that Pass Coverage=Zone Coverage while Reaction=Man Coverage?

Thanks!

Edit: I just went into my settings/files and there's nothing under "tuner" or "franchise tuning". Thats conflicting with previous statements saying that the tuner is automatically downloaded with the new patch, and as stated before, I received no type of prompt to download the tuner or the patch.

I would like to know the answer to this as well. I haven't played M16 much this year, but I want to see what the patch did. I was able to start an online game today so I'm guessing I have it. But, I'd like some confirmation if possible.

At the load screen put the cursor over the game, but don't load it...

Hit the "Options" button (on PS4 it's also the "Pause" button") and it'll give you a list of options, one of them being "Check for Latest Update" (or similar wording)...

Hit that and it'll tell you if you have the latest Update / Patch...

You won't see anything for the Tuner in your files...the supposition is that the tuner was folded into the patch in some form and is no longer an individual entity...

As far as the "Man versus Zone" issue, I refer you to this thread:

To piggy back...if on xb1, make sure you delete your profile game data as well. I did that. So to recap, delete the madden game install, and then you should also see the profile icon that is you game data. Delete that and it's as if it never played on your console

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

I've been meaning to post about this, but post-patch, I'm now noticing that plays like reverses, WR screens, and wildcat runs are now better tuned for HUM-CPU play.

Before the patch, I never called these plays because they never worked, like ever, at least for me on All Pro.

Now, I can call a reverse a couple times a game and actually get positive yardage more often than not. Same for WR screens, which are now receiving better blocking than before--enough to make them good for a consistent 3-5 yards, like they often function in real life.

It's a subtle change on these plays, but it's noticeable, as now I use the entire playbook.

Also, read option and triple option keeps are slightly better blocked and thus are more effective, but they play out very sim to me now. The perfect balance of effectiveness when called vs. the right fronts and managed well, as compared to before, when for me the QB keeper runs wound up always getting shut down.

Very happy with these adjustments.

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

Have the patches improved the game. I had opportunity to get madden 16 on black Friday instead i only purchased NBA 2k16 at BestBuy. I hope i dont regret not picking up madden on Black Friday, which was 29 dollars at BestBuy. The football fan in me wants to get madden but the other side of me that has been disappointed with madden the last few years told me not to get madden. I hope i wont regret it for passing madden 16 at 29 dollars.. Is this game worth purchasing witt the recent patches? How would you rate the gameplay with effects of the patches?

Although you'll still run into cheese online, I think the gameplay is much improved (especially using A&S sliders). I too have been disappointed in madden for years now and anytime I have bought the game I have regretted it and turned it in soon after. But this year I am really enjoying the game and especially the gameplay. If you can still find it for $30 I would take the chance on it.

If you are a franchise head you are still going to have to use some workarounds if you want a realistic franchise experience. But so far, to me, it has been worth it

Has anyone in existing online cfms noticed any increased benefits of the pass rush since the patch dropped?

Wondering if it's another thing that requires a restart to see because I'm still seeing QBs with all day in the pocket and AI pass rushers just patty caking in my games and other league games via twitch. Really infuriating. Wish they hadn't nerf bombed the trenches, last year was good just needed small tweaks

I'm trying to address this by lowering the holding slider...

Post Patch, the pass rush doesn't shed blocks as efficiently...

The pockets and pursuit angles LOOK better, but play differently...

Ready for the dumbest question ever?

How do I know if I've downloaded the patch and tuning updates?

I just got the game on PS4 and I have nothing under my share my files screen. Also, I've had no screens popping up at starup about downloads, except for a roster update.

Thanks everyone.

Hi bro,
You should switch your ps4 on, go to "library ", you find madden 16, you click the right small button on your joystick, then you will have several options to select. If I'm not wrong, you have to select update list or something similar, then you will see a blue page with written your game's version and the main patch change list.
If you have problems, you drop me a private message and I'll try to help you.

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

I just got back to playing this game over the weekend after more than a month without playing. One thing I noticed is that Robo-QB has been tuned down a lot with the increase in pass rush. I see more and more QBs throw the ball away now or take the sack when it's obvious that they can't escape the pressure. This is on all-star difficulty with default sliders and official rosters.

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

I've explored a bit, but found mostly complaints in regards to these two questions:

Auto subs are still not working in CFM?

Linemen don't get hurt in played games still?

Thank you!

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

Anyone seeing just plain wrong weather in CFM? I'm playing in cold climate cities late in the year and people in the stands and on the sidelines are wearing shorts again. I'm sure before the patch I was seeing appropriate weather and temperatures at the right time of the year.

Honestly I'm pretty certain from what I'm seeing in my CFM that I had already running before this patch......no way I can start over I'm in 2019 and loving it!! Sorry back to what I was trying to say.....the auto subs seem to be spot on after the patch......I'm seeing my running backs and the AI backs rolling in and out nicely. I have actually on a couple of occasions seen my 3rd string back need to enter the game. I'm loving it! As for the offensive linemen injuries...I'm 37 years old and have played madden from the very first one until now madden 16, and I know I'm getting ready to be called a liar here, but so be it. This is not placebo affect I have seen O-linemen injured 3 different times since the patch dropped while playing the game. These injuries occurred during normal plays....not fumbles/interception plays. I always play my games no simming and can't remember EVER having an O-lineman injured even on fumble/interception plays any other time. Maybe this was a BUG and if so I hope there is never a fix for it....it was great to see these injuries happen. It was only 3 and I may never witness anymore, but I have seen them occur post patch. Lol now I set back and watch for the players on here that are great at being negative to come in and bash me and call me a liar lol!!! Have it guys hope you enjoy doing it!! I'm going to enjoy this great game and brother sorry for such a long response, but hope this answered your question and you enjoy the game!!
