Addressed issue where sometimes defensive linemen would freeze for the remainder of the play after being knocked to the ground
Addressed issue where the defense would not adjust alignment if the CPU controlled offensive team enacted a concept audible
Updated Individual Coverage adjustments to not only affect the pre-snap shading but also the post play leverage technique
Addressed issue where adjusting the ZONE shading would have an effect on the defenders drop location instead of just the leverage technique
Addressed issue where cancelling a PA Fake would allow for a 1-step drop on certain plays
Addressed issue where the game clock would be restarted of a declined penalty after an incomplete pass

IMO much of the uninstall/reinstall/etc stuff is placebo. If you are getting good games ignore stuff like the last page or so.

Yeah, that's why I just don't argue with people about all that stuff and just have fun playing the game.

Also like you told me to look back at my original post (which I did) and I started off by disputing another posters claim that this was the best Madden ever from top to bottom. Heres another issue: I just finished playing a game (H2H) in which I'm blowing out the guy 35-3 and guess what...... A network timeout, the game freezes and I get hit with the loss LoL I can't make this up. Ive got about 10 L's from that. And its not my internet connection. I have the best that TW provides and no other game has this issue..

I think it's the best Madden game play wise, all around, heck no, CFM needs some serious overhauling and more immersion.

Look, you don't need to chime in with your condescending attitude, either. People play or don't play Madden for various personal reasons which you and I don't have a clue about.

I'm not denying there aren't issues fixed in CFM, but you came in with guns blazin' stating that CFM was broken.

All I'm saying is that there were some fixes applied to CFM and there might be more in the next patch. They aren't done patching.

This won't help CFM for this year, but based on what Rex Dickson mentioned in an interview 6 weeks ago, CFM appears to be a priority.

There is some hope.

So first you have a problem because I posted in bold (which is an option for us here) Just click on the capital "B"

Now you're telling me how my attitude should be when I post. So you assumed I had an attitude because I don't agree with you? Sounds like a personal issue to me, especially when YOURE THE ONE WHO REPLIED TO ME smh...

The last time I checked this is a forum where you can discuss your likes and dislikes about the game. In a tactful manner in which I have. I guess you'll be upset because I made "smh" in italic lol.

And whatever reason people may play Madden or not, Im voicing my opinion and concerns and from the looks of it many others have too, which last time I checked was allowed on this forum as long as its constructive..

Heres a refernce post for you: http://www.operationsports.com/forum...-incoming.html

Then when I do all of this the same bugs I addressed earlier will still be in the game. Also doesn't the game tuner automatically load when you turn the game on? How do you turn it off? Also if I delete the game that means my custom playbook will be deleted also right? Another question. What if Im playing online H2H and I did exactly what you said as far as deleting the game but lets say my opponent didn't. Wouldn't that affect our game? See none of this makes any sense to me... Which is part of the reason I haven't played Madden in almost two weeks.. It reminds me an old show called Sanford and Son. Everytime Fred Sanford would open his drawer he would have to bang on the table, knock 3 times, do a shoe shuffle and etc just to get the drawer to open properly lol Oh how I wish the people who created NBA2k series could also do football

I get the frustrations man...I do...all I gave was a solution. If I buy a dodge hellcat, and I find out that I have to bring it back two weeks later to get the ECU (CPU switch for car) updated so that I can get my full 700hp...I am good. The hellcat still rocks 500hp without that switch so really I can wait for my full toy. Same here. You bought the game...until EA starts from a brand new drawing board *which they wont) cap happens. The bad part is...the game changers and testers are a joke. I would fly myself down to florida...pay for food and lodging...just to do it because that's what's breaking the feel good story here.

And look what happens when you assume.....

And a return reference for you:

http://www.operationsports.com/forum...s-service.html

Conduct
Every member on this site will be held responsible for their behavior towards others. On this site you will treat other members in a respectful and courteous manner.

This statement wasn't necessary at all:

BUT

Like I said if you like sub par or average and you think thats great, then by all means have fun. Tactful? Really?

And the last sentence was real tactful referencing the forum constructive post.

It's not worth going back and forth, agree to disagree and move on and let the thread breathe more.

I'm not the only one enjoying CFM after patch #2 and you aren't the only one stating that CFM is unplayable and broken for you.

Hoping we can agree on that.

Ignore him. He came here for one reason and it wasn't to be tactful or to discuss the game reasonably. Just move on. He's simply repeated issues he's read here and I question whether he's has any practical experience with these "bugs".

Signed up in July? 50 bucks says he's a PBU as his post habits match what they usually do. Put him on ignore and keep playing for as long as the game gives you enjoyment.

# 428 redsox4evur @ 10/05/15 10:26 PM

I just want to say CFM is NOT broken or unplayable. The game doesn't freeze or crash when you play it, right? Therefore, it is playable and not broken. It is the way some of us want it to play, yes and no. As Roadman said people are fine with the patches and some don't like the way it plays like blue. But the mode IS PLAYABLE!!! There is a difference between broken/unplayable and the mode being SIM like, I would imagine, Blue wants.

# 429 deezycobain @ 10/05/15 10:59 PM

been playing great games since patch#2 have had a mix of wins and losses on default all pro which is great.. although the run game seems a bit difficult im probably just needing to re adapt.

i was really hoping that the ridell 360 helmets would be fixed and in CFM after this patch but i guess it hasnt been addressed? i havent seen anyone bring it up yet
anyway still loving the game, AND HOW QUICKLY they are working out patches this year. Finally have them pushin for us wether its a little at a time or not im happy with it

Yep, was already under all those considerations.

# 431 GrayDawg @ 10/06/15 02:03 AM

Just wanted to put my 2 cents in. I think this is the best Madden by far gameplay wise and haven't had this much fun since Madden 05. A lot of times over the years the Madden problems have led me to stop playing after about 6 months but this year I can see myself playing the entire year.

Also want to point out if you have a concern or question you can always send a message on rex's twitter and communicate that. I have done so a few times related to CFM.

Would this by any chance delete any in game progress for MUT or CFM?

Thanks

Another question; have you had any freezing issues since your deletion and reinstalling of the game?

I experienced freezing once before the 2nd patch came out in my very limited play time. After the patch came out I uninstalled and reinstalled and have put in far more hours lately and it has never frozen once so far.

CPU scramblers can definitely scramble post-patch, post tuner. Check out Kap here - if anything he might be going too much, lol. This is completely unedited video btw - all happened in one possession.

I made two slider tweaks related to QB's off the default All-Pro - user Pass coverage down to 25 and cpu accuracy to 25 to compensate for it (it's kind of a test, I'm not necessarily going to use those values). And in general I'm seeing much better QB play out of the CPU - not just the scramblers. The logic is that Pass Coverage affects the secondary's ability BEFORE the ball is thrown, and therefore can affect the QB's decision making as well. I kind of felt like something might have been bugging out the AI when all receivers were too tightly covered, hence this tweak. So far it's working better than I imagined, for both pocket passers and scramblers. Fewer sacks, more rushes from scrambles and just better decision making in general.

It's still WIP, but I feel like I might be on to something here (and I don't go in the slider threads much so I apologize if someone else already had this idea). I feel like I'd have to do something to slow down the offense with coverage lowered that much (Brady or Peyton will SHRED this coverage), but it's a start, at least.

That video looks exactly like the bug/glitch that was occurring with the tuner after patch #1 where QB's would get a mega speed boost while scrambling out of the pocket. Kap takes off at mega speed in that first scramble. I haven't seen that since patch #2

I'm seeing this every now and then. I don't think the patch or tuner had something to do with it. I'm still seeing it. But is not that common.

Has it been proven that you do not need to start a new franchise after downloading update? I see everyone saying they started over again after the patch.

Linemen regress way too fast Sim a game and look at the ridiculous stats scores Some injured players NEVER recovering from injuries All of those bugs have been in the game since it came out and still haven't been addressed

If you're on ps4 and want realistic speeds for all players I've made a roster which you can find in the roster section it fixes these issues with draft classes and wide outs/HBs being screwed in the base roster. I don't follow EAs rating updates though I do my own so things might be a little different. I also only update player ratings every 4 weeks because one week updates is just too little evaluation.

You know that old saying, "if it ain't broke, dont fix it" ...dude just go with what you are doing now..enjoying the game like many of us, don't fall into this "putting a game under a microscope" like some do around here, you will lose many many hours (even years) of enjoying this game and others!
