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

Anyone experiencing constant freezing during cut scenes (post patch)? I have tried to play the first game of my CFM about 15 times and have not made it through a single game without the game freezing. Autosave takes me right back to the same cut scene with no way to continue. I had random issues with this prior to patch but now I cannot even finish a game. ( btw, I am on Xbone) I really like the patch but does me no good if the game is unplayable. Just curious if anyone else is having the same issue?

Also, I noticed if you play a game using alternate uniforms and auto save, when you take it back up again, the teams will be wearing the jerseys they would have worn prior to you changing them (hope this makes sense)

Played another game last night (Could only get one in). Really didn't see the punting issue in this game, so I'm not sure why some players have it all the time and some don't. Game was played in Carolina; Pittsburgh's punter got off some long ones but no short line drives between the teams. Panther punter did have one 21 yard shank. I had seen this in the last version of Madden I played (v 12) whenever the defense went into punt block defense. Since I do CPU only I don't know the wind speed and thus this may be the issue, no or very little wind in the game thus no liners. I'll try play the moment next time so if I have to kick afterwards, I may see the wind speed and direction, then just take a needless time out like they do IRL and set it back to CPU only, to see if I would expect the wind to impact the game and if it does.

Likely going to adjust my false start slider and QB accuracy. Accuracy I have at 30 and back up QBs are throwing at a 75% clip. Alot of late game false starts like in the 2 minute drill. I have some tuning to do to the game overall but if they do make a tune to the punting game I think I can get it to work out to start my regular season.

The line drive punt glitch only occurs when a CPU punter is punting INTO the wind during windy condition games. Obviously it has to be an outdoor game.

So the CPU punters do just fine in dome games, low/no windngames, or times where the wind is at their BACK.

But once they have to punt into the face of any kind of wind they chooose to do this low line drive punt that only goes for like 15-25 yards. It looks ridiculous and leaves my team around the 50 yard line or closer every single time. It makes scoring against the CPU way too easy.

My twitter handle is @MrKevinPerry I have several videos of the issue up there to see.

Only thing I can think of is hope they fix it through a tuner and in the mean time super sim all of those situations.

It's not just punts, they do it when facing the wind during kickoffs too.

It's lame I have to super sim so much now.

I think everyone has the glitch, but if you're doing a CFM as New Orleans or Dallas or something you would hardly notice. I play as the Pats, I noticed immediately.

Played a few games last night. I normally play all-madden but thought I'd see what All-Pro offered.

Human passing is far too accurate. I lowered it to 5 and Brian Hoyer was throwing darts on the run and off the back foot. Had over 450 yards passing against the Broncos. So I need to see if putting it to 0 or 1 makes any difference.

The pass rush seemed better. The AI offense seemed better. Threw deep and made some nice plays.

The special teams though is going to make me shelf this game. Automatic Field Goals is a game killer as well as the line drive punts. I think a wind over 7 mph triggers the line drive.

If they fixed the special teams, I think this game could be decent, but without that, the game is not worth playing.

The poster above you mentioned they are looking into the line drive punts. Also, if you are concerned about the punts and FG's, as a workaround you can sim those until it's fixed.

I missed a 47 yarder last night with no wind.

Still, in Carolina I would expect then that I would have seen it as I saw punts in both directions. Kick offs all went to the five, goal line, or five yards deep. Perhaps there is a threshold wind speed that sets this off, and is a ridiculously number but a wind speed below this you don't get it as often? I really saw it once in my first game and can count the shank as the other time, but nothing in between. Still you're correct that tuning this more appropriately to reduce the effect even at high winds is critical if you're seeing it all the time. I'm making up numbers here but I could envision no effect unless the wind is > 10 mph, then that leads to up to a 5 yard difference depending on kicker power, 20 mph knocks them down 10 yards, 30 mph 15 yds, etc. Something along those lines may be more realistic. If you punt normally 45 yards on average, the rare times you kick into a 30 mph wind you might expect kicks between 30 and 35 yards (again, take the kickers power into account?). Just a thought.

Will see what I learn tonight if I can see the actual wind speed in the game. It still seems strange that you're seeing it 100% but I'm seeing it 1 of 4 or 1 of 5 kicks if you're seeing it in any wind condition.

Cpl things i noticed was all madden was a lot easier and qbs throw the ball away too much.

Wr were wide open constantly and caught everything. Redoing sliders heard

All madden is definitely even easier after patch. Which is great for me actually. The main problem I have, is the cpu qb. It is such a very fine line to get them to throw the ball downfield, not to throw it away for no apparent reason. THEN holding it too long. Sometimes stand there holding the ball Forever and get sacked. Which its almost like you have to raise cpu pass blk, so the qb falls asleep back there. It was an issue before the patch as well.

My impression is that the game plays better after the patch. The pass drops were driving me crazy and the game just wasn't fun offensively. There was always four cpu players warping/swarming the ball, barely time to look for receivers on a pass play, and few if any broken tackles. Plays smoother like 16 but with the better d schemes. CPU AI is better, throwing the ball better, and running better.

All pro. People saying previously that they thought All Madden was too easy...more power to them because I wasn't seeing it, and was getting mauled on All Pro.

Rex just tweeted that post patch carries are within .5yrds of actual NFL averages.

Getting crushed on all pro as well. Love it.

It seems like more all-pro players are very happy with patch so far. More so than all madden players?

I'm generally pretty easy to please, but i really liked the way the game played last night.

I restarted my solo online cfm over on Tuesday after installing, played my Chiefs vs. San Diego last night. I really thought the game felt to have more of an NFL feel to it.

I loved the way the D was playing on both sides of the ball. Thought the game looked, felt and played great all the way around.

Hopefully some of you aren't to busy bickering over something to realize the potential of the game.

Did they do something with in game presentation as far as stats are concerned? Seems like the ticker was behaving a bit differently that i remember, however maybe i don't usually pay that much attention.

In game online cfm saves work!

New tackle animations? maybe due to playing more aggressive?

I think my last game played was Monday night, I would have said at that time that the game was playing stiff, and the kick meter was slow, my game last night erased any issue i had with that.

Lost my game 13-6. with 1:22 left in the game, i forced the Chargers to punt, drove the length of the field, with 12 secs, threw my only pic of the game in the end zone.

11 min quarters game, i sacked rivers 6 times, was sacked 4 times. rivers fumbled once. had mucho pressure on him on multiple occasions where he threw the ball away. To many sacks?

½ sacks, was this a missing element? it's in there, and they're being displayed, maybe i never noticed before.

This game, especially held my attention span, more so than other games i've played, maybe just a frame of mind.

I got a Service Storm alert prompt at startup, indicating that they will do their best to keep services up and running during hurricane matthew.

I couldn't get my running game going which was nothing new, the cpu couldn't run either. Will be making a slider adjustment for the next game.

I keep longing for longer games, I'll be bumping up to 13 min quarters, and maybe 15 min quarters going forward. The game save feature is a huge enhancement!

I was beaten handily in TOP, which i love to see.

Last night anyhow, after 1 game, i thought the game was enhanced, dare i say big time. Hopefully by sunday i'll be 4 or so games deep, hopefully my experience carries on.

I honestly think the AI offense plays better on All-Pro after the patch. They were having trouble moving the ball on me on All-Madden. I upped the AI run block slider on All-Pro and honestly the offense plays like it should on All-Madden.

Just need to crank down the human offense sliders and ramp up the AI defense sliders to make it more difficult for the Human to score.

I'll test out some all-madden again tonight but the Broncos put up 38 points on me last night on All Pro against the Bears. Before the Patch the AI offense on All-Pro wouldn't keep the foot on the gas so I always played All-Madden.

Need a larger sample size, but in 5 games, the AI offense if you crank up the run block slider on All-Pro seemed more effective than All-Madden at default.

I only played one game after patch, so need more time in lab. My first impression was good though, and the overall feel was clearly different post patch.

Reading through the comments, tempted to say that most people want the game to be different to the next person - whether that's down to preference, ability or whatever else. Not sure EA will be able to keep everyone happy.
