I just don't feel that is something that is fixable in a patch.

I noticed Clint's Twitter timeline and he wasn't describing this issue, but for another issue, he mentioned to someone that it's difficult to fix some things because of the architecture they already have.

Now, I don't know specifically why auto subs haven't been addressed overly a yearly basis, priorities, maybe if they tried to fix auto subs, something else within the mode goes haywire, your guess is as good as mine at this point.

I agree that they are some of the bet out there but I just want an explanation to why it seems like auto subs are so hard to fix and why it's broken every year. I'm not complaining I am seriously just surprised that this is still an issue.

Auto-subs not as important as the other issues in CFM. Harsh reality.

I think trying to fix those would probably break something else.

# 45 kingsofthevalley @ 09/30/15 09:46 AM

Evertime I hear about a new patch it gets me very flustered for the simple fact that we'll have to figure out how it meshes with/without the tuners.

# 46 T5063 @ 09/30/15 09:50 AM

Wow, so they fixed the one penalty slider and the visual settings options. Those were just annoyance more than anything. What about the QB scrambling issue? Weather in CFM (people said it wasn't working correctly)?

I'm at work so I can't test it out but I'll be checking back from time to time for impressions.

These notes by themselves really have me scratching my head after they said there were supposed to be "numerous" CFM fixes.

# 47 BFL3RD @ 09/30/15 09:51 AM

Why can't they just say you will or will not need to restart your CFM...
that is all I want to know....

# 48 scoobyskyline3 @ 09/30/15 09:58 AM

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

What is the "leverage technique"

@Judgebredd I would keep going if you aren't running into any major issues. None of the leagues I play in are restarting.

There goes the earlier theory that the developers aren't playing in online leagues, plus, I noticed Clint is in one too.

It depends on when the QB scramble issue was noticed. I saw it started popping up on OS about a week or two ago. I'm sure that EA was finalizing the patch on their end when this issue started to be recorded.

These aren't numerous CFM fixes?

Addressed issue where defensive holding slider would reset when exiting the screen
Addressed issue where accelerated clock would not work in H2H CFM games
Addressed issue where visual feedback settings were pulling from the user’s profile instead of league settings
Addressed issue where some settings would carry back to the FE after playing a CFM game
Addressed issue where the CPU would retain an empty roster spot when simming to the regular season when there is a player on Injured Reserve (note: changes aren’t reflected until after your current season is finished)
Addressed issue where the user could not sort player while in the Fantasy draft board
Removed Kick Return as a scoutable trait (note: changes won’t be reflected until after your current season is finished)
CFM Trade tuning
Addressed issue in CFM H2H where uniforms would change back to default home/away even after changing them in the team select screen
Addressed a rare issue that caused some Franchise files to be corrupted, preventing players from accessing their CFM (note: this won’t repair already corrupted files, and only prevents future occurrences)

Plus 100 other bugs and fixes?

I would assume the scrambling glitch would be fixed via a tuner, since it was caused by a tuner.

Speaking of, I deleted my tuner and no QB scrambles on me.

# 52 racerx @ 09/30/15 10:10 AM

Guys,
I cant check at work, but has the freeze issue in CFM been fixed? Im at week 5 in my franchise and it keep freezing before the start of the game.

Thanks

Yeah I did that too... but now the mobile QBs don't scramble lol.

EDIT: Hey maybe you can download the tuner when you're playing a mobile QB and delete it when you're playing a pocket passer. lol smh at these workarounds.

When you player lock yes and switch to there view. It was messed up this year

"Addressed over 100 general bug and stability issues"

Well, let's see if this 100 includes my CFM freezing while setting people to auto pilot and Xbox One controller becoming non-responsive.

IRL, it's the defenders position on the WR throughout the route.

So if you adjusted to shade right (let's just call it inside shade) the DB should stay to the inside of the WR during any routes.

So the DB would have the advantage on slants, ins, post, drags, and a huge disadvantage on outs, comebacks, zigs, etc

I haven't focused on DB reaction/interaction while shading to much this year though.

I forgot about that Auto pilot freeze. Ill have to test it today.

Controller being non-responsive, I find happens when turning the Xbox on to resume madden. Along with that is the inability to sign into EA Servers upon Resume and the freezing of the game upon resume. Bottom line, there are and have been major issues with Madden 16 and 15 when resuming on Xbox One. I tweeted this to Rex when he asked what specific things I was talking about when I asked him about issues that carry over from previous Maddens. This is one of them.

Oh shading,i noticed before it wasnt functioning properly so i stopped doing it but this is encouraging now

# 59 JayD @ 09/30/15 10:32 AM

Was draft class equipment improved in this patch? I remember someone posting that this will be addressed.

Yeah, this was in Madden 15. Would happen in H2H and you'd have to use a timeout. I thought it was a more popular issue, so it would for sure get fixed. I guess not.

In my case, it happens during a play and I can't hike the ball. Naturally I'm like WTH, so I pause the game. Once paused I can't unpause it, but I can still navigate Xbox One Dashboard. I posted in the bugs thread and tweeted them a video of it.
