    DFMF 20 Content Update - Available Now on PS4 (1.08) & soon for Xbox (4.0.87)

    This is a small patch from yesterday's update:

    For the full build notes of yesterday's update, you can view it here:



    ATTENTION XBOX USERS

    Unfortunately, in order for yesterday's update to take effect, you are going to have to delete your save data from your console and the cloud (delete everywhere).

    Here is the problem. Last weekend when we released on PS4, the game was broken and you had to delete the game in order for the content update to take effect. The reason why was the way Sony compiled our patch with our core game, it created duplicate files of the teams, plays, etc. Which led to people not being able to enter a game because the game had duplicate files.

    The Xbox and PS4 version of the game is the same. The Xbox's update that went live yesterday has the fix for this. However, it means it will no longer read that old data.

    Which we're extremely disappointed that we have to now tell Xbox users they have to delete their data after we were telling PS4 users this last weekend.

    With that said, going forward there should not be any issues with save data. PS4 had no issues with yesterday's update and we expect that to be the same with Xbox now. We deeply apologize about this because we know how important the save data is to the game. It's been a very rough couple weeks for our small team.

    *Here are the updates that are included in this patch: *

    [Dynasty] Fixes scholarships being returned after commits to that team.

    [Dynasty] Changed depth chart process to address special teams players.

    [Dynasty] Update to walk-on player generation. Checks for a team's roster size before generating walk on's for that team.

    [Dynasty] Validates a user's depth chart as soon as the season starts so that it should not be blank.

    [Dynasty] Made a small change to recruit commitments from yesterday's update.

    This update seems to have reverted back to the old gameplay where I can move the ball way too easily with the lowest rated team (playing with all sliders at 1).

      No gameplay code was touched in the update, it was just Dynasty updates.

        So does this mean all the logos I created will be deleted.

          If you are on Xbox and you created them before .85 - then unfortunately you will lose them. It's the same process the PS4 users went through last weekend.

            Wasn't .85 the first patch that went live for XBOX the day after release? If so, I didn't create any logos until after that first patch, so would this mean I don't have to delete the saves?

              No .85 went live Friday night - so it means any save data before that patch has to be unfortunately deleted.

              .87 is now live and there are no issues carrying over saves from .85 to .87 and we don't expect it to be a problem going forward.

                No, I think the first was like 4.0.78. Update 4.0.85 showed up on Xbox late last week...

                  CPU AI needs a lot of tweaking. I had a team go down the field for what should have been a game winning TD drive (they were down 6) with the help of me taking timeouts where I felt the CPU should have taken timeouts. The CPU scored a tying TD but then went for a 2 point conversion for no reason and failed. I ended up purposefully taking a safety after the next kick off.

                    Just a heads up for everybody we are working on another content update and expect it to be releasing soon.

                    No data is expected to be harmed in the making of this update!

                      I purchased the game to support, but a “playable” Broadcast Cam has to be looked at for Users.

                      Truth is I’m really not giving your game an opportunity on its own merits because a console generation of Maddens “Behind-the-Players” view has soured playing football from this perspective for me.

                      This view has created a lens that looks for game issues/imperfections, then through Slider and/or Ratings edits try and “Fix” those issues, rather than just play the game.

                      When I see the beauty of your game being played from the Broadcast View by the CPU vs CPU, yet I can’t enjoy that All-22 Broadcast experience that I’ve been craving to have, I just turn the game off.

                      I just can’t do it!!!

                      I purchased the game looking for a new/different football experience, but the view just invokes my Madden lens.

                      I would suspect many other gamers will fall into this category also.

                      Over two console generations and still the football genre is the only sport that has yet to experience playing the game from the view/perspective in which we watch the sport on TV.

                      That’s the “different experience” I was looking for in Maximum Football.

                      Just some honest feedback!!!

                        While I understand the statement above, it definitely seems like the team is working hard, keep up the good work.
