Madden NFL 16 Tuning Update Arrives, Tunes Risk/Reward Factor in WR/DB Interaction

[Steve_OS]

A new tuning file has arrived for Madden NFL 16, this one is concentrated on the risk/reward factor for WR/DB interactions.

The much anticipated patch is coming very soon, so we will continue to wait for an official release date.

With that said, let's keep the discussion in the comments on point with a discussion on the tuning update and what it's doing to the game.

Let us know what you are seeing!

Can't wait to hear gameplay impressions! I'm out of town all weekend.

Let's hope there's a significant drop off in 1 handed catches.

I, testing deep passss against Seattle in practice mode

I think I've gone 4 for 20 so far. DB seems to play the ball more effectively as far as knocking it down or swatting. Early impression much more testing required

Just had three straight one handed grabs by DT. He's high rates, but just noting

From Rex Dickson twitter:

"Tuning update based on community feedback is out today. Patch coming very soon."

I'm definitely seeing AI controlled DBs play the ball more effectively after the wr attempts a catch, lots of knockdown swats

But which set of fans did he listen to is the question. Did he listen to sim fans or arcade fans?

One thing im interested in here ,and will have to test if i get time saturday night, If this tuning also changed something i noticed in a test CFM. I noticed if you press and hold the play wr or play ball button too soon and held it down, you would trigger DPI more often than not ( with DPI slider at 55) . Just curious if anyone notices this has changed or is the same after this... before saturday night

Are the safeties reacting more? Sometimes they don't make a play at all.

Is this in some way related to the forthcoming patch? Or does this address the aggressive catch concern, and separately, a patch is forth coming to deal with other things (CFM)

The tuning file update is completely separate from any title updates Tiburon may release and does not affect Connected Franchise in any way, shape, or form.

As far as we know, the only thing this tuning update adjusted was WR v DB aggressive catches.

Thanks for clarifying.

CM is correct. Gameplay is addressed in tuning, the bugs in CFM are coming in the patch (which has not been dated yet)

That's a very welcome addition. I would also like to know about safeties.

Gawd, I can only hope. In only my few games of play, I've had Miles Austin and Josh Huff (non-Eagles fans are saying "Who?") have both made one-hand grabs on deep balls

Am playing my first game after the update and right now Alex Smith has thrown 2 interceptions to my safeties - one to FS Darian Stewart and one to SS TJ Ward - so looks like for one game at least the safety play is much much better!

But then one game is not data of course...
