You'll still see it but it generally won't be as dramatic as you normally see it. Guys might be good for an extra year or maybe two. I don't think it has an impact at all on progression.

OK, thank you for clearing that up. Its pretty normal for me to see guys under 30 who've had good seasons drop a point or two. It would be nice to put an end to that.

You'll still see random drops that make you scratch your head. From my experience its most beneficial for guys as they hit 30 and beyond.

downside with owner coach move on if successful or it used to be. you develop the coach how you want and even though you do well and offer lots of money they move on. think that was m15? never wanted to go through that after 3 years working on a coach for them to run away or retire so havent tried m16

and as a brit and i dont know anything doesnt the coach pick his staff anyway not the owner?

Officially unplayable.
Pc commits 15 encroachment penalties in a row. All by the same player. He dive tackles whilst still in the f%#ing huddle. 15 time in a row.
Worst f#$%ing update in the history of gaming

rex say on twitter that the pass coverage is untouched but anyway seems to me that after the patch the db play more loose, and try to makes interceptions instead to breaking pass

That's awful man, and I'm sorry. I played three games yesterday after doing the update and didn't see much if any of a change in penalties. Mine are all at default in sliders.

I got in INT by a LB in two games I played yesterday after the update, and hadn't had that happen in a long time. Maybe just a coincidance though.

3 man online CFM, all user teams are in the AFC North. We've played 5 seasons and have had 1 rain and 1 snow game...COMBINED (I personally haven't played in anything but sunshine). That's 2 games out of approximately 180 user games located in the northern U.S. Something is definitely broke.
We have accel clock on and created coaches, which has been rumored to cause the weather problems.

My question is for the other online CFM guys is, what are your coach and clock settings?

After reading what you guys are all saying, I have to think that being online has an effect. I use a created coach and accelerated clock in my offline franchise with zero problems.

I obviously cannot test anything myself, but I wonder if some of you guys who are having problems would try playing offline and turn your network off, if you would see a difference? I understand that that isn't the way that you want to play, but it may confirm what the root of the trouble is.

This years installment of Madden is the BEST football game ever, however I have two major concerns 1) The two biggest issues I have is in Coach mode there are absolutely NO Offensive Linemen INJURIES! I have been playing Madden since 2002 (PC when available and PS4). During that time I've had 3 OL get injured and only 1 long term. EA finally fixed the penalty issues (1-2 called per game) now fix the OL issues. 2) Offensive Linemen do not rotate in and out of the lineup like skilled position players. Please fix the stamina with the OL.Great game, and thanks!

I'm with you on Offensive Line injuries but in real life offensive linemen hardly ever sub out. http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/snapcounts

Unless you mean you see it happening in-game and don't want to see it. Have you set your autosubs?

I have a couple of other beefs with the game.

The spotting of the ball often makes no sense. Ignoring forward progression, the rule is supposed to be "where is the ball then the knee or hip or some other major body first touched the ground and the location of the ball is where the spot will be". Whatever Madden does to determine it's ball spots, it's not based on where the ball is located. The other beef I have is the CPU's two minute offense is predictable, not organic and nowhere close to being efficient. But other than that. Madden 16 is the best football game released to date and I am having plenty of fun with it (warts and all).

I would say that on the field, this is the best Madden. I've been playing the series since 1991 on the NES.

However, there were many, many things about franchise/owner mode back in the PS2 days that were better than what we now have. I would say that the final few games of that era were the best ever from an off the field aspect.

Just wanted to update my post about the draft classes I made a big fuss when patch came out.

After deleting my CFM which sucked big time, and deleting the game and all my files the draft classes went back to normal.

Still had to lose my CFM. Lesson learned offline CFM's now so I can avoid jacked up roster updates, useless patches and everything else.

I started over (again) last night. Playing my second game now, at Pittsburgh, and it's pouring down rain.
