I can remember when I bought the game. Should I do this? How long will I be able to enjoy the game play before EA starts making unnecessary changes and spoiling it. I understand that they have to do the things necessary to keep the revenue flowing. However, there could be more of a balance.

Road, these are the same slider makers touting the tuner that touted The changes made last year, that made the game crap. I don't care how you swing it. Madden 16 was a great game in the beginning, and EAs changes, by the end of the cycle turned the game into a complete mess

Amen Booker! I took the tuner off, and I am going to do all I can to avoid this next patch. It seriously sucks that they cut our access to the roster shares and commentary downloads if we don't have the latest patch. We should be able to play our way instead of having to play EA ball. It's the same pattern year end and year out. It infuriates me.

And yet we keep feeding them money. So in EA's eyes, they have a pattern for success.

Well, that's true. I've been playing football games since I was about 2 feet tall. I can't imagine life without them. I just can't understand why EA has to make these drastic changes. Last year, and I put more time into the game then probably any year, because, I was doing FBG rosters; I literally did not recognize madden 16 by the end of the year. I put all that work into those rosters, and never could get through a game, because the gameplay was so stale

On another note. Has anyone noticed that the swat mechanic is not as effective anymore? I've noticed if I try to play a ball in the air with the swap mechanic my defender just sits on his haunches. Again, another unnecessary change.

You brought up 16, I didn't.

I have no clue about what the slider makers said about 16.

And just because you feel that 16 was done in that fashion, doesn't mean 17 is, either.

Peoples experiences will vary, don't you agree with that?

Yes I agree with that. However, to me, and as I've been saying all along, the game felt best post release. I personally feel the tuner took the gameplay a step in the wrong direction. But that's just me

I just have a different opinion and experience than yours.

I feel the game is playing better post tuner and that is just me, too.

Road, don't get me wrong. I am sure you're having a great experience with the game, and I'm not knocking you for that. However, I'm not having fun with the tuner, and I know there are other people that are having the same experience. Whether or not the tuner took the game in the wrong direction, is subjective. I personally felt like there was nothing wrong with the tackling. It made the running backs feel dangerous. I personally thought that kicking was too easy, and the changes that were made to the kicking game were unnecessary. Line play feels much less organic now. I'm even seeing this funny animation, when a defender gets pancaked, he will instantly jump up and be engaged with the lineman. I don't remember seeing that animation pre-tuner

And I'm just saying that I'm not the only one in this thread or even at OS that are feeling good and positive about this tuner, which is, like you said, subjective.

Once it comes down to this, it's a, your mileage may vary or to each their own.

Yep, I think that this tuner was phenomenal, it is what it is.

I felt like the swat mechanic was always like that.

Am I the only one who thinks these changes are bad?

Re: Madden NFL 17 Tuning Update Available Now, Here Are The Details (9-23)

It asked me to update the latest tuner and i havent yet.. but i noticed wow fumbles galore omg, well my first pre season game had like 3 total. seems the QB fumble the most,

but in my final regular season game, of season 3 my QB fumbled, get ready for this... 7 times in one half, granted i like to use a oregon kinda offense, reads, triple option, ok oregon doesnt run triple options haha, inverted veers,

run with the QB, and wow almost everytime he got hit he fumbled, even the other team, the RBs also but not as bad, one game Hyde fumbled 3 times, it happens but still it got to the point where whatever team fumbled less won the game haa,


Some of the run plays on both teams seem like they are alil harder now which is ok, i hated having like 2 or 3 70-80 yard runs a game byeither team, what im still getting alil annoyed at is this 2 min drives u cant stop the other team, at least it was pre season but i was playing the rams, I was up 19-14 and they started with the ball around their own 30 ish, 1:40 left and they drove down field got the TD and 2, they went up 3 and i had only like 8 seconds left when i got the ball back, ugh, they hadnt scored a TD since mid 3rd qtr

anyways im done blabbing, i should post some of these in the bugs and glitches area, well maybe just the fumble issue,

but there is a couple other things to,

Anyone notice that if u happen to press sim next play on a PAT, and if its a watched one on slow mode, the ball is placed way back at the like 30-35 haha wow, 40 something yard PAT,

and on user kicks i do everything correct, correct angle, everything done right on the meter and the ball shanks hard to the right..

So.. I have avoided the tuner because of the feedback here and other places...but from I'm reading as soon as the patch comes out it's automatically included?
