Madden NFL 17 Title Update #2 Available Now For Xbox One & PS4 - Details Included

I guess you got lucky, I just DL the tuner and played my Browns against the Titian's in Tenn in a 11 mph wind. Did absolutely nothing for the kicking or punting. Kicking off against the wind couldn't get it past the 15 yd line. The opposite 10 yds out of the end zone. Punting was the same line drive kick for 35 yds and with the wind past the end-zone. This is really starting to peve me off, There is no excuse for them not to have this fixed. All they have to do is turn off the wind or tone it way down, It is becoming totally ridiculous.

Mightve just not got them. They don't occur unless wind is like 9mph

I am starting to wonder if this punting and kicking issue is just an OFFLINE CFM game issue. Because if it was affecting those playing ONLINE, this would have been fixed immediately. It just seems if the OL people are affected by an issue, it is top priority. This years game was advertised as the BIG FRANCHISE game. It seems as off line franchise is the last thing on EA's mind.

I have looked back through many of the post and I don't see anyone from Online leagues complaining about this. And watching games on U-tube, and twitch, I don't see it happening.

Ea has stated that AT SOME POINT, this issue will be fixed, I am starting to think that some point will be Madden 18.

I mean, of course players in online leagues aren't seeing it since they are playing against other users.

It's not surprising that it would only affect those playing exclusively against the CPU.

Punting was still the same, so I deleted it, now it keeps asking me to install the tuner. But I don't know if it was the same one or a newer one. I haven't seen anything on the board about a newer one. But if you are sure it fixed punts, I will DL it, I can work around the rest of it. I just want the punting issue fixed. Was you playing in a strong wind,? It seems that anything under 7 mph and punts were OK, Anything over that is when it really affected the punting.

Yeah it was in 14 MPH winds.

I specifically started a "PlayNow" game and chose "windy" conditions after noticing I was asked to download a tuner. And the CPU punted into the wind normally. I just super simmed until the CPU needed to punt into wind and then back out and actually ran a punt receive play to see what they would do.

I will check again, but before I was getting the low line drive punts where it would only go 15-20 yards and I'd end up mid field for easy scoring. It's been driving me nuts too. The low line drive punts into wind and look ridiculous. I've been super simming CPU punts into wind due to the glitch. That's why I was glad I thought it was fixed.

Last night was my first time playing the game since last weekend though. So maybe I'm wrong. But I was asked to DL tuner that I was not asked to DL last night. I played 2 games in a new CFM I started too after playing the PlayNow game. But they were in a dome and low wind so punting wouldn't have been an issue.

Thanks IC. You said that you played in a PLAY NOW game, maybe things are different in that mode, I know sliders work different. I only play FRANCHISE, and mostly play of the moment or CPU vs. CPU. Just tried another game and still the same, going to delete the tuner, and see if the game offers me a new one. Then I will try that.

Kehlis, Thanks for the response, never played ONLINE, so I can't speak for that, you may be 100% correct. But playing against the CPU, as human owned, when I personally punt into the wind, it affects me just as much as it affects the CPU controlled team. So I was just assuming that if it affects a human controlled team in Franchise, Then it should also affect any team going against the wind, human controlled or not. So what I am saying, two humans playing against each other, whichever one is facing the wind should be affected by it. So if it is not happening in ONLINE games, then the wind is not a factor.

If anyone that reads this post that plays ONLINE, Can you tell me if you have strong winds in your games, does it affect your kicks and punts? If it does not, then this narrows it down to an OFFLINE franchise issue. Especially if IC said he is not experiencing it in Play Now games. In my opinion, if it is not affecting online games, then this issue will not be a huge concern for EA. I can only hope I am completely wrong.

They really need to tone down the ridiculous amount of QB fumbles. I'm in 1 league where in week 15 3 QBs have already beaten the NFL record of 23 fumbles, 1 QB already has 31.

This is a big problem for me unless I get lucky on a pitch or toss then there is no way I'm gaining any yards at all.
