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.

That's really strange. I had the low line drive punt happen on the first CPU punt after the patch but everything after that has been normal. I also haven't seen the sky punt thing once in my time playing the game. I did have the CPU shank some punts pretty bad pre-patch but outside of that first one everything has been a bomb which is basically the way it was for me pre-patch as well. Could it maybe be a CFM thing? I haven't really played any CFM games at all, just Play Now. Makes me think it could have something to do with the fact that there are no CPU special teams sliders in CFM or that they're under the hood and something is messed up with them.

wasn't there a feature to be able to save a game you are playing in CFM? I don't see that feature

Played the Bucs in my third game and lost 27-20. Was another fun game. I was up 20-7 and in full control and then just went dead on offense and couldn't stop them at all. Winston was putrid in the first half but led them on a TD drive just before halftime and then was great in the second half leading them to 17 fourth quarter points and the W.

Biggest plus since the patch is defense. Seeing a lot better WR/DB interactions and a lot more of them when I'm on defense as well which is very nice. My players don't feel so stupid and have been making nice plays and reacting like I'd hope and expect them to.

The fumbles are getting to be a bit much though. In three games I've played I've fumbled six times now. Seems like every time my QB gets hit it's a fumble. Had a play against the Bucs where I ran PA and didn't even have time to control my QB before he was hit and fumbled. Also had this which was interesting:

Still seeing some really boneheaded OL play as well but running the ball feels a lot better for me. I've actually finallly got the CPU running decent as well without it all being huge runs. Only had 4 CPU throwaways out of 12 incompletions but Winston was lights out from the first half two-minute warning on. Wind meter is still bugged too.

Can someone see if auto assignments are still reversed? For me the left to right assignments were reversed on the field

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.

Do they even run a q/a test for offline vs CPU?
It's almost like CPU offline(CFM NOT Playnow) isn't even looked at
Does it play out right when your playing the CPU online/cloud?

What are guys seeing online vs CPU?

For now I guess it's super sim the CPU punts and maybe fgs too?

Also the qb fumbling issue has more to do with qbs carrying rating

Custom Playbooks disappearing, repeating every formation

Hi Guys, just joined only to ask if the update 1.05 corrupted any Custom Playbooks. I am seeing my entire playbook disappear both online and offline. I do not have a physical copy of Madden 17. Essentially, I am presented with a single formation in the playbook no makltter what I selected. This behaviour comes and goes among other things. By this I mean that I able to see all my plays then ghey disappear again. Very weird. My online game also just crashed. I am on ps4. Tomorrow I will post a video

Got my first freeze ever during a new cloud CFM in weekly game planning during the first week of preseason. This is off to a great start.

So I haven't had time to play yet with this patch but I am just about to start a game vs panthers to see if Cam will run at all or not. Also when it comes to the punting for what its worth I didn't have big issue with it before the patch like some people did. I think the shortest punt I had seen before this patch by the CPU was like 25 yards and that didn't happened much. So I will report back in a little on if I have seen any short punts or any thing by the CPU like some people are reporting after this patch.

Shading inside or outside, at least in M2M doesn't work, and it should per the Skills Trainer...I see no cover change, and when I attempt to shade inside or out, I just get the Run Fit diagram; thus indicating to me that the game isn't recognizing it..

If I shade under or over, things seem to work as they should.

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

So I just finished a game that I won 27-13 packers vs Panthers me being the packers and the CPU had 3 punts for a average of 47 yards with there short one being 28. Cam still didn't try to run with the ball. Really wish they could fix that. I had something odd happened during the game. The Panthers got called for false start like 10 times including on one drive where they got called for it like 7 times in the one drive when they where getting close to a TD. Did the patch break False starts? Other then that the only thing I really notice was that the animations look better on RB when they are trying to break a tackle or trying to at least keep moving forward.

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

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.

Bcruise, I mean no disrespect, but to me, THIS IS A GAME KILLER. Please let me explain. Because of some health issues I can't do very well being a thumb jockey. My love for this game is being a COACH, building and developing my Team, creating a game plan and watching it all play out before my eyes.

I haven't been able to do this with any version of Madden since M12. I have waited four years to be able to play CPU,vs.CPU. and PLAY OF THE MOMENT was just a huge bonus. The ONE AND ONLY reason I purchased Madden 17 was because of this feature. A new game with all the updates.

My complete joy of this game is CPU vs CPU or POTM. Which allows me to get in every now and then and make a decision. Simming a punt completely takes the joy and excitement out of possibly watching a great return, or a fumble which is a huge part of FB. It totally defeats the purpose of my style of play. Plus the time it takes to exit, then go to POTM, then move to play game, then hit the options button, then sim one play and back to play till end. I spent 60 dollars on a product that said I could do these things.

First we had to deal with shanked punts and 20 yd sky punts and several other issues. Now it's this, the game has been out for a couple of months now; there is absolutely no excuse for it. We are 5 weeks into the NFL and because of these broken issues, I don't care if they put out a new vocal update every week. Make the game work first. I have not been able to even start a serious franchise. I realize that EA caters to h2h and online players. Not many people play as I do, BUT my money is just as good as theirs. I bought a product that is broken, any way you want to look at it. It does not function properly. And I am still waiting for it to be repaired. It's nice that there is a way to sim punts, But that don't work for me. I am tired of having to find work a rounds for issues with the game.

Once again, I mean no disrespect, I thank you for the advice, But 60 hard earned dollars gives me the right to rant. And I am pretty frustrated. I have spent hours and hours, just testing, fixing; now I would actually like to play the game the way it was intended or at least advertised. So I wonder, Will it be another month or two before they address this if at all..

Not at all re: the false starts. You're using something other than default sliders right? (because that never happens with false start at 50).

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

After playing some games I've noticed that there are some more fumbles, bit nothing that can't be changed with sliders it seems. Also the my run game is absolutely non existent, I love it. All runs seem to be blocked well and you need to pick your holes and use your sticks to your advantage. I've also noticed more defenders coming unblocked and just blowing up plays in the backfield. Don't know if I like that since it seems to happen a little too much. Drops are more often, but I can't complain about that when it's something that happens in real life and isn't a game killer. Another big thing for me is that they turned off the QB scrambling nerf or at least turned it down a lot. I'm not a 700 lb concrete shoes wearing monster trying to run out of the pocket now. I've also yet to see the CPU shank any punts so I'm gonna play a few more games see how much I actually do hate it and then come back and complain. Overall I am loving what I see though. 💆

Yes I am not at default sliders but I wasn't having that issue before the patch. I have yet to start a CFM because I am still trying to find the right sliders from me and with where I have the PS set at I am not seeing enough but if I go up 5 I was seeing to many but of course in CFM you can change each one by a point instead of just up or down 5.

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

After playing 5 more CPU vs CPU games jumping in with play of the moment. I now believe I have found the problem. As I stated earlier, It seemed to be switching teams. Now I realize what is happening. It is definitely a WIND problem. In the first quarter of a game between my Browns and Philly, My punter (CPU controlled ) punted a line drive every punt. Philly CPU punter punted high and great. Second quarter, CPU Philly punter punted all line drives. My punter punted high and deep.

So it is now obvious, Instead of correcting or fixing he wind, EA simply tried to adjust the Sky kick by lowering the trajectory. This is exactly why some players will see it, some wont. It's all about the WIND. This problem would simply go away if we could adjust the wind or turn it off. Instead of adjusting the trajectory forcing a low kick EA should and could have simply fixed the wind problem which has been an issue for years.

So until this issue is fixed, If you are playing CPU vs. CPU or POTM in a windy stadium. Your punter is going to punt line drives every other quarter, unless you punt yourself. The CPU team will do the same. So I guess to solve the issue you will have to human punt at least every other qt. As for the CPU, I guess sim punt every other QT..
