Madden NFL 16 Patch 1.11 Available, Minor Fixes Along with MUT Content

[OhMrHanky]

Always interesting to see the mixed results after a patch. Ive had my fumbles slider at 42 for awhile, and was seeing appropriate fumbles. While some are seeing big time fumbles with the patch, I have not seen this (continuing using 42, btw), so that's interesting. I had one play where I stepped up to avoid pass rush and escaped the pocket. I have rarely done that in M16. Only one play, but it's just interesting. Gameplay feels tweaked in a good way, for me, at least. I have not had to modify sliders at all. Since fatigue is working again, I am actually now raising this to see what I get (I reset it to 50 after last patch), so that's it for me. Otherwise, it feels good to me, overall.

Edit: oh yeah, and I ran a kickoff for a TD. And, feel like the special teams blocking feels different? Not sure if anyone else feels this.

Now by the time I get back to that I'll just get madden 17 sooner....

I'm guessing the reason we are seeing this update now is not because EA is trying to play mind games with getting us to buy M17, but because they're following a Test and Learn approach. I'm assuming EA follows an agile development methodology, hence the frequent patches. Rex said himself that they learn more in the first few weeks of releasing something into the market versus months of their own internal testing. So, my take on this surprise patch is that they're testing stuff out before M17 hits the market, so they have data to try and improve M17 ASAP.

My thoughts exactly, plus, the Madden team has stated there will be continuous development throughout the year.

Played 2 more games since last posting...

First game was against jags... complete blow out won 42-3

Bortles had bad game went 6-21 36 yards ivory had 67 yards rushing

3 fumbles in this game 2 for jags both on ST...resulting in quick scores for me was up 21-0 at half.

Next game played seahawks

This was complete different game that went to OT.

The Hawks took a 10-0 lead and Russell was unstoppable... I finally saw the escaping of qb's that others have seen as Russell escaped play after play had huge run.

Looked like Hawks was gonna win late as it was tied 13-13 ...Hawks were driving late but my defense finally stepped up and forced fg with 1:41 left in game.

I got a great KR near mid field I drove and got to Hawks 7 yard line had huge choice go for it win in reg... or kick fg go to OT.

No time outs I took fg tied 16-16.

I received kick in OT drove down scored TD won 22-16.

I also saw the subs working as well as my fb got subbed out during last drive my back up fb scored game winning TD.

If this EA... using 16 as a test for 17 maybe they shoulda done this in previous yrs to get feedback.

After playing a few games of H2H I noticed the commentary was much better..it's almost as if they fixed a bug that was keeping the commentary from being more fluid I definitely noticed new lines being said or that where never said before. Sideline reporter mentioned and went indepth about an injury and said how many games said player would be out. This was online h2h games

With fatigue fixed are you guys seeing offensive linemen subbing out? I just did a test drive with 15 total plays, 11 rushes, at default everything and I didnt see a single sub by the offensive line! Very promising. I also saw 7 rushes from my starting RB and 4 from my backup.

Yes, I am on very long drives with fatigue at 50.
