Madden NFL 17 Patch 1.03 Available - Patch Notes Included (PS4, Xbox One)

Hopefully this means outside runs won't be so easy now. Haven't tested it yet but if it's not in this one hopefully the next patch will fix the stats glitch/bug in CFM.

Patch looks great except for it looking like AI QB scrambles might not have been addressed. I would think fixing AI QB scrambles would be noteworthy enough and is worthy enough to be in the patch notes. Not a game killer or anything but definately hurts the realism a bit and takes away some of the challenge of going against mobile QB's like Cam Newton and Russel Wilson and also takes away some of the advantage/benifits of having a mobile QB for the CPU.

The latest tuner definately helped a bit. Since the tuner I've seen the rare scramble and QB's are definately more elusive in the pocket and try to move around more if theirs pressure and they do attempt to roll out if they can if the sack is coming. At least it's not as bad as at release where they would mainly keep walking backwards or just stand their and take the sack instead of trying to avoid it. Still not where it needs to be though in my opinion.

Huge disappointment if it wasn't changed.

I can agree that it's also in Millenium.

Reasons for the deep ball coverage is:

1. WR #1 is matched up on the left side with normally CB#2

2. CB plays press about 75% of all passing plays. Which allows your #1 receiver or any fast WR to outrun their defender. Especially if they have a good release.

3. Safeties do not play deep coverage very well. Only about 33% of all passing plays involving deep plays has a Safety in good position to swat the ball or defender the WR.

Playing as the Bears on default All Madden, I tested this out and had 350+ yards with Alshon Jeffrey and 3 TDs in less than a half of a game.

Yeah I am not seeing this at all either, I find it near impossible to complete any type of deep ball.
I really hope they fixed the CPU scrambling issue.
Honestly it is killing the game for me.
It makes the gameplay so unrealistic to see a wide open gap for the qb to run for a first down. Only to have him throw the ball out of bounds. I have need seen a CPU scramble once in the 50 or so games I have played.
Last night in my Bengals franchise game the Jets had the ball on the 5 yard line, it was 3rd and goal.
Fitz rolled out to the right there was absolutely no one around him. He could have crawled into the endzone. Whats he do? Holds the ball for 6 seconds just sanding there with no one around him until a defender gets close than he throws the ball out of bounds. It cost the Jets the game as he could have tied the game with a TD.
I watched the replay 10 times and it was just horrible.

Really hope the CPU QB not throwing when user MLB is in zone hook coverage, has been fixed

Man...Rex is extra hyped this morning.

These early tests look promising for the scrambling though.

EDIT: He's going over patch notes now, for those interested.
