Re: Madden NFL 17 Patch 1.10 Available Now, Patch Notes Included

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.

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 know 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.

i will say in our 32 man league, just in my own games since patch ( we have qb acc at 25) i have seen my qb at least 4 times in about 6 games, overthrow a wr and it literally goes right to the defender,like as if he was actually throwing to him the entire time.

I didn't intend to emphasize a connection between errant throws and picks, though that's what came across. I'm more interested in seeing 5-7% more of my passes go off target in some form or another than anything else. My picks are overwhelmingly on balls thrown into coverage or under duress.

I'm a bit skeptical of EA's ability to improve QB play by adding more errant throws without somehow throwing off some other element of game play, mostly due to the game's past performance, but if they could do that, I'd be thrilled.

Clint mentioned on Twitter that the Ints are tuned this way, as to penalize the user for throwing into coverage.
If you were to drop the int slider down to 35 to 30 range, you'll see more deflections w/o the defenders have such sticky hands.

This is why we must lower the INT slider down, as I mentioned in the previous post.
Think of the Int slider as a Global Catching slider for the defense.
I'm doing some serious labbing all weekend. I will have my AP and Pro set finished by tonight.

I'm loving default All Pro in CFM. Like 50 everything default. I've lost two in a row against the CPU. 8 min quarters no run off.

It's not because the CPU was boosted. Just out played me.

Can't believe it actually. It's the best slider set to me

Charter--what do you do with auto subs within CFM?

THIS.

The INT "penalty" might be a little OP, but 90% of the picks thrown, are shown by replay to be the result of a bad read or a bad read under pressure...

I prefer it this way, because otherwise I'm going to play mistake free and win more games than I should...

It ain't sexy to throw the checkdown, but THAT'S football...

In the season that I just completed my #1 HB had 74 catches. I don't think that I've ever had a RB catch more than 40 passes in a franchise season before. I wish the CPU could adjust faster and play more hard flat coverage forcing more scrambles and throwaways.

When will they nerf the 3 WR 2 RB package then?

Really like the patch, but I wish they would have touched penalties a little. I just never seem to get a decent amount on default and changing them in the sliders just seems to change the gameplay. I keep playing 49ers @ Steelers to test penalties with different penalty sliders and every game is close. Steelers are way better and should be dominating.

How high is your fatigue? I'm running 65 and have seen anywhere from 5-9 penalties per game using default penalties.
