    Re: Madden NFL 17 Title Update #2 Available Now For Xbox One & PS4 - Details Included

    So I like that patch but things have changed. The D is a lot more aggressive and quicker. Things also seem faster.

    I am struggling to adjust but not complaining. Like the changes. Punts seem inconsistent.

      I'm disappointed that the CPU still doesn't update their draft board after each pick in the draft. And I wish they would add offensive line injuries.

        This is key, and I will agree with this statement based on what I've seen and read. The thing about these sky kicks and line drives is that they might be accuracy misses by the CPU. I wonder if turning up the accuracy slider might improve things some without making the AI boot 70 yard punts. Let's face it - as users it's not too difficult to coffin corner kicks so it's not like adjusting that is going to suddenly turn us all into punting experts.

          I've fixed it by increasing the qbs carrying rating. Some are way to low at default ratings

            Hope this trend continues.

            Another note, I haven't seen the CPU AI throw the ball OUB, yet. Stafford sensed pressure, but throw the ball too low to a diving WR. Yes!!!!
            What's the qbs carrying ratings?

                There is no doubt, the PUNTING is clearly broke. It may not affect some because it can switch. If it's your team that it happens too, You won't see it if you are doing your own punting. It doesn't affect a HUMAN kicker. If you want to see it. PLAY A CPU vs. CPU game, one punter or the other will line drive the punt every time and you will hear the announcer say, Looks like a low line drive punt looks like he just missed. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME WITH OUT FAIL to the same punter. IT IS NOT A WIND ISSUE. IT IS A BUG, plain and simple. You can also play a POTM game but if the other team’s punter is PUNTING correctly, then let the CPU punt for you and you will experience it.

                As I said, those of you that do your own punting may not experience it. And it does not always affect the other team’s punter, it could be yours. The only way to find out is to let the CPU do the punting. One of those punters is going to kick a line drive every single time. In a CPU vs. CPU game you have no choice and it happens every single time in every single game without fail. And that is a complete and total game killer for that style of play, I have tried at least 15 to 20 different partial games and it has happened in each one.

                EA needs to address this and address it now. This is after the patch, before that is was 20 yd sky kicks. I’d rather have that. I deleted the new tuner and it didn't change anything, this bug is in the patch. I also deleted my profile and built a new one with a new franchise. Still the same results.
                When I do something right, No one ever remembers.

                  all these fumbles everyone is reporting, need to stop and think about running to gain and running to be free, i myself have done it as well, when you are running the ball, you have to use the mechanic that has been given to you... i use the browns as they are my favorite team, well duke and crowell have tendency's to fumble in real life just as they do in this game.

                  Sure everyone wants to be on that turbo button cutting left and right real quick, or spinning then turboing into a hole, you cant do that with this years game and i have proved that by covering up the ball, yes it slows the back down some, yes you cant always hit your holes when you might like to, but it also rewards you, because when you combine the cover up ball mechanic and time it correctly you can in fact hit your hole and then get on your turbo, not before and not before covering the ball!
                  I stream a variety of video games for relaxation and fun.

                    Since it's not just line drives for me, but ridiculous shanks as well (and the sky punts from before), I still believe there's some kind of bug in the CPU's accuracy calculation. Regardless it's probably beyond our ability to fix. Hopefully it can be addressed in a tuning fix rather than needing to wait for another patch to go through certification.

                      Formation subs seems to save, haven't played a game yet but at least in the menu it has. Looks like you can't have a custom play book with formations subs unless I'm missing something. Also sucks I don't get to change my kickoff formation as well, I'd like to put in my back ups there.

                        I tweeted Clint and Rex about the punting issue.

                        I recorded a video of it and included it in my Tweet.

                        If you guys wanna see what we are talking about, my Twitter handle is @MrKevinPerry

                        You can see the video there. Also the announcers keep referring to Gillette as "MetLife Stadium" in my CFM as well now. I put up a video of that too.

                        If you don't have the punting issue post patch, consider yourself lucky. Whats weird is if the CPU is NOT punting into the wind they can nail a punt 50 yards or more no problem.

                        But in my game post patch if the CPU punter is punting into EVEN A LITTLE wind, they get MAYBE 25 yards and it ends up with me mid field each time. So now I just win easily since each CPU punting into the wind means I will be mid field.

                        Total game killer.

                          Any impressions on the CPU QB AI, scrambling/taking sacks/etc?

                            This is the right way to approach this. Hopefully they respond.

                            I'll stop short of saying "total game killer" because AI punts can be supersimmed (which is probably what I'll do for now), but I can definitely understand the frustration.

                              Yeah, in addition to these silly short line drive punts, I'm getting random shanks now too.

                              I dunno man, but for some reason this patch has seriously screwed up Madden for me.

                              Anyone who doesn't have this issue can check out my video on Twitter @MrKevinPerry

                              Hopefully tomorrow one of the EA guys will respond to my tweet. I'm so bummed, I was pumped when I saw this patch hit.

                              But now Gillette is called MetLife and the CPU can't punt.

                              I mean I'm sure they'll fix it eventually, but depending how long that takes I'm not sure how long I'm gunna be unable to play this game...

                                Oh good idea bcruise; I can super sim CPU punts.

                                It sucks I might have to do that to be able to play the game, but it would work.

                                Oh well I'm going to bed. Hopefully they respond to my tweets tomorrow.
