Very soon as in as soon as Microsoft/Sony finish testing it and release it on their own accord.

Let's keep this thread on-topic of the tuning update, please.

Thanks.

Okay, the head to head Giants vs Redskins only have one deep ball completed. Seemed good this game. Defense reacted nicely compared to my previous game.

# 46 zrohman @ 09/04/15 03:14 PM

On all madden, A.J Green would catch about 20% in a GOOD 1 on 2 situation, and about 40 in a GOOD 1 on 1..

Now if A.J Green gets God positioning ( That's dependant on skill and the user in madden) and gets a good jump he honestly will probably catch close to 50%.

So I don't see what was wrong. Yeah draft champions played a little different but I'm worried..

Before any gameplay even came out... That's when the OP thread started about aggressive catch being OP. They literally watched a couple quick clips and assumed it op.

I LOVE that for ONCE being a great receiver matters, being a great Cb matters too. You can rely on big-time receivers as long as you get them the ball in the right place.. But pass into double coverage and you will normally drop..

I just hope they didn't under power it..

Sometime when I take control of my safety and push to play the ball or the man my player doesn't do anything and just sits there.

I�m glad they tune this down. It was a bit OP to me. I will give a practice today.

Ya see this is where I think EA misunderstood the complaints. We like that you can go get the ball and defend it we just hate every guy in the league being able to pull off 1 hand miraculous catches 4-5x a game. We want sim and realistic outcomes not cheesy ones. It wasn't that it's too easy because I think it was balanced well before tuner. Ugh!

You should go and listen to the interview someone posted a few days ago. Rex explained what he saw that didn�t like.
Basically he noticed that any person, was able to give a decent battle by just throwing 4 deeps passes and doing the aggressive catch, and he said, that is not football. You shouln�t be able to win by doing all the time that, and that you should get penalize (risk/reward) by doing that.

I agree with him. Even teams with elite WR don�t throw bomb after bomb all day long. If the win ration would be 40%, they would do it constantly.

Once I catch one or two my guy starts to get double teamed and I start completing like 20% of my passes

It's not op.wasn't op. And it better not be under powered now

Just played my first game after tuner and I not sure I like it may have play few more games.

I played the lions in a play now game Megatron was 0-2 on deep passes he caught one deep but was called back on him for illegal touching he ran out of back of endzone came back in caught ball at 1.

The other pass was hail Mary before half and he was covered by 3 defenders ... I like how they fixed the interactions...but stafford was under pressure the whole game which lead to 6 sacks and 4 ints.. And one time he was like 5-20 for 77 yards. He finished 15-34 187 yards 4 ints I won 58-0.

Meanwhile I don't know what happen but my running game exploded crowell went off and my blockers actually blocked their guys but before all this I could run but nothing like this I hope this tuner didn't effect the running game.

What I mean by that is its too easy to run now..again I like it but I don't wanna be avg 200 yards rushing a game.. Like I had in this one.

I don't think I saw any one handed catches by any wr's... When they went up they caught it with 2 hands.

Again I like it and will be doing more testing.

# 53 LowerWolf @ 09/04/15 03:39 PM

I picked Eli off twice in his first three attempts post-tuner. Seems good to me.

# 54 N51_rob @ 09/04/15 03:43 PM

Exactly. The deep ball is still there. You just have to understand coverages and match-ups that favor it.

Gotcha, I don't play like that and havnt played online yet so I guess that's why I said what I did. I'm all for tuning to make it more realistic and challenging for sure! But I really wish they would do away with arcade like 1 hand catches for everyone. It takes away from the immersion for me.

Oh no!!! After tuner, I lost my FIRST CFM game!!! Well, 1st CFM game that counted. Lol. I've had to replay a few games due to cloud saves not working. But, played the Panthers late in the season and struggled to throw the ball Matty ice threw 4 Int's, but they were all mostly legit. I saw ZERO 1 handed catch attempts which is rare for roddy white and Julio jones. I normally see about 3 per game based on the way I play, but saw no attempts. It was a good, close game. I don't have any complaints, yet. But, interesting that the game felt a little different and def felt a little tougher to pass. Only 1 sample size, though.

Pretty realistic! Matty Ice always chokes against Carolina at the end of the season...

# 58 wundrbread33 @ 09/04/15 04:17 PM

I swear if people were getting 40% completion on deep jump balls before this tuner...they certainly weren't playing on All-Madden.

# 59 BFL3RD @ 09/04/15 04:20 PM

I think it's different I played Buff vs Atl and Graham was playing deep middle had 4 picks and some knockdowns..DB with help over the top makes a difference not you can go for the ball and the WR will not just take it from you.

I just hope the AI don�t start throwing pick after pick now, and they are aware on the risk on throwing deep to their double coverage WR.

Also, this Tune was for the DB WR aggressive catch. It doesn�t effect any other thing, as User rushing, etc if you see weird suff, it was already there. please don�t start with those conspiracy theories again.
