Not only QB movement but they need to revamp the intelligence of the CPU like to see the QB trying to win the game instead of behing sack, clock management and so many other things. For me, the gameplay of the game is nearly close as perfect but it's ruined by the lack of intelligence by the CPU.

They've improved the pass blocking and pass rushing but it still needs a lot of work too, it needs to be a lot more dynamic and a lot more animations. My guess is that they will overhaul these at the same time, both the Qb movement/IQ in the pocket, and pass blocking/rushing. Now if they fix these we'll have something special.

And qb's should be a threat to take off. Other than that I would say it is the best ever game play wise. That is a big issue for a football game though.

Agree.

I decided to just focus on "Public Enemy Number One", for the time being.

I could easily add "gameplans and playcall logic" to the list and...and...etc...

King--have you not seen a drop of in db pass coverage since the patch? As I mentioned a few posts back I see a lot of shadowing and non aggression by CPU controlled db's vs pre patch. Thanks.

I haven't seen that personally, but will keep an eye out...

What settings are you using?

Mine ramp up the pass rush and the shorter pocket times usually mitigate that sort of thing...

This is perfectly said and I couldn't agree more... King on a side note I took a look at your blog specifically the split Madden set. Has that been updated since this latest patch I would have an interest in trying it thanks.

Yeah, there was a couple small adjustments that have had an appreciable overall (positive) effect...

Thanks King. I'm playing with Josh's slider set. Exact settings with the exception of clock. I'm using 12 min quarters with 20 second run off. He uses 9 minute quarters with no accl clock.

Inside Madden - How Blocking Works With Clint Oldenburg!

https://www.twitch.tv/eamaddennfl

Clint and aninmator David Wickum(who Clint called the "catching guru") This was a nice Q & A session about blocking and animating, lots of good information, especially if you're not someone who follows the team members on Twitter. Clint's been talking about a lot of this stuff all year.

There are supposed to be more of these sessions to come.

Does anyone feel when they increased the probability of broken tackles vs the hit stick instead increased it across the board?

I feEl even when using the A/X button to conservative tackle, it doesn't make a difference, theyou with still break it or spin away causing your defender slip up and miss.

Am I the only need experiencing this?

Am I the only one that is finding Pro to play better than AP or AM since the patch? This is in CFM vs the CPU.

Are you playing with everything at default?

I find pro plays the fairest game but with that comes the passing vision of human players making it too easy. What I mean is the ability to see all 22 players on the field at the same time.

Not w/ the Pro setup, here's what I'm using on Pro now

Post-patch game play has been amazing for me. If the game played this well all year long, without the MUT garbage wrecking Oct-Dec, I'd be 10 seasons deep into a keeper franchise.

The only area of the game that feels off, and it's not by a ton, is HUM QBA. If they could add inaccurate passes that don't necessarily turn into picks about 5-7% more of the time, it'd be perfect.

But that aside, I'm loving the game right now. I signed out of the internet on my PS4, so I'm planning to ride this patch out until late summer.

The cover 2 zone is finally a legitimate defense that can be ran on a regular basis, the pattern matching in the secondary is a thing a beauty and slants are no longer guaranteed even in man to man cb's will play the slant to perfection and pick it off.
And you can really tell the difference between a good DL and a average one, the Raiders pass rush is insane where is the Dallas Cowboys DL is pretty weak.

My only issue post patch are QB scrambling issues and similar to Trojan Man, interception by the Human QB. There has been plenty of int's when a defender will bat a ball and about 2 or 3 other defenders come over and play hot potato and it always results in a int.

Another thing that has to go, once a game a CB will defend a ball and the ball bounces 30 feet in the air. The ball physics must be tuned in that area.

Good job, EA, I now need to stay on my toes when playing QB.

Edit- AI playcalling needs an improvement for 18.

It surprised me that you guys are seeing more human QB picks due to where the inaccurate balls are going. Playing on 10 ACC, I very rarely have an off target throw that is even touched by a defender. The CPU QB's have way more trouble than I do in tossing overthrown picks. I do throw a lot of picks, but they are all on garbage reads by me.

I 100% agree on the AI playcalling, and 30 feet in the air deflections.

I think MUT might have inspired this patch, I heard that people were not investing in offensive linemen at all, basically picking all bronze offensive linemen because they could handle gold defensive lines, so they had to address the lack of pass rush issue I think mainly because of MUT.

Competitive/MUT play is such a double-edged sword. Their disdain for realistic uncontrollable errors holds the game back in terms of portraying the true chaotic nature of football, and influences tuning to that affect, but their relentless search for shortcuts and exploits does force the gameplay team to stay perpetually engaged in refining the gameplay mechanisms year round as well as providing a plan of attack for the next version.
