Madden NFL 17 Tuning Update Available Now - Reduces Strip Fumbles

[TreyIM2]

I'd say fumbling wasn't a big issue for me. I was actually all ecstatic the one time I needed and wanted a strip fumble against the CPU, badly, then went for it and actually pulled it off, for what seems the first time ever since Madden implemented manual strips. I ball on PS4, btw, so idk if console may have mattered with the frequency of the bug.

Will check it out once I get off this road trip from PA.

As a coach mode/cpu game player, the strip fumbles were not an issue for me. My biggest complaint is that QB's can sit behind the offensive line for 10 seconds or more far too often. Does the tuner help that?

QB Trait

Most guys are balanced or Pocket

Change a guy to scrambler and see what happens

No, that bug was tracked down last week and there will be a fix or a is fixed coming. I don't know when.

It doesn't work, I've tried this. I have noticed that some of it is toned down a little pending on the sliders you're using.

- Pass Coverage
- Speed Threshold

If you crank these sliders up past 60 then what's happening is the more experienced QB's are holding onto the ball too long trying to find an open receiver, and they're not forcing the ball, therefore taking coverage sacks or sometimes throwing the ball away.

The lower tier QB's are throwing and forcing the ball so they don't seem like they're taking as many sacks.

One game I played with Aaron Rodgers and I cranked up Pass Coverage to 80 and Speed Threshold to 100, and he took 11 sacks in one game. Was holding onto the ball too long. Sure he threw the ball away sometimes, but he took alot of sacks.

Now if only they could make it so the QB doesn't fumble every time someone breathes on him. I know that there weren't enough fumbles in the past but the defense shouldn't score 6 points every time they hit the QB during his throwing motion.

So when I put the game on tonight, it will automatically update? Or do I have to update myself somewhere?

It's not automatic, but it's hard to miss - It will prompt you to download it (or not) before the main menu.
