Madden NFL 16 Title Update #1 Available Now, Roster Update Scheduled For Friday

09:28 AM - September 9, 2015 by Steve_OS

The much anticipated Madden NFL 16 patch has arrived for both Xbox One (732 MB) and PlayStation 4 (749 MB). Check out the list of updates below, which include improvements and fixes for gameplay, Connected Franchise, Madden Ultimate Team, and more.

UPDATE: Just received official word from EA.

Quote:


	Players will not need to restart their Connected Franchises to see most of the fixes in the Title Update. However, due to draft classes being randomly generated, you will have to restart if you want the changes to your current draft class, as we cannot retroactively change those ratings.

Also of note, the roster update is scheduled to arrive on Friday, according to Rex Dickson, creative director of the Madden NFL series.

Let us know what you are seeing!

My friend and I play an online CFM, cause he is stationed in Korea, and there is no work around for the overpowered confidence bonus everyone is seeing. Hopefully somebody figures something out otherwise we are gonna just be left to suck it up and deal with it.

Based off what metric and testing are you saying this?

It's pretty annoying that players being cut are still disappearing.

I am not calling shenanigans but I am baffled why my 98 speed WR is NOT leaving behind the veteran CBs that I know do not have 98 speed...

Would I have to restart CFM? Or can I delete, add tuner in my current active season?

You mean release. Elusiveness has nothing to do with it. Route running probably plays a role in it too somehow.

Where do I go to check how much confidence is gained after each week?

Pretty sure Agil, and Accel play in to it as well, as well as the DB's various other skills.

Use the receiver in the slot where he isn't getting pressed. If he isn't getting pressed you run by the defender everytime

Bigger issues remain (auto subs not working properly in CFM, confidence, drive goals, glitched XP/FG's, LT regression) which I think require more attention. Luckily OS'ers like A&S and Booker21 have found some workarounds. Hopefully the next patch from EA is a little larger and more solid. In the mean time. WaddaYaGonnaDo...

All the problems should be fixed. They were able to quickly change deep throw accuracy, why not speed as well.

Why is the Bears' defense so bad??

So the patch did not fix the dynamic drive goals confidence thing? By it appears as though that was in the patch

Yup. Check out my thread.

The other 2 options lead to increased awr as well as slower increase in accuracy ratings. I prefer "weekly" which had Andrew Luck at 97 awr after 2 seasons, and Winston up to a 76 awr. "Every 4 weeks" is a nice balance between QB and LT progression. As far as I'm concerned, the only thing I feel a need to look into for my cfm is the user confidence. Which I will test a few things for tonight . Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Anyone else confirm that the online CFM has improved?

# 1077 d123cwik321 @ 09/15/15 10:39 AM

Does the patch work while already in a season or do you have to restart a cfm for it to take affect is there anyway to check that I have the patch I don't remember it prompting me to dl anything

I fell like this patch brook the game. I am not up with all the news about things because I have for the most part not had internet for about 17 days but in the first game I played post patch I gave up 320 yards on the ground to the CPU. Second game I gave up about 230 and in the game I am playing right now I have given up 158 yards at half time on the ground. Also I fell like no matter what I do slider wise I can not get any pressure on the QB but I had that issue even before the patch.
