The much anticipated patch is coming very soon, so we will continue to wait for an official release date.

With that said, let's keep the discussion in the comments on point with a discussion on the tuning update and what it's doing to the game.

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.

I hope you're wrong about the running game but I have so far experienced the same thing. I too was playing against the Lions with the Packers and running is very easy. My guards are really good but I'm able to bounce everything and in 2 separate games have averaged 7 and 8 yards per carry. I loved how running for human player was prior to the update. Hopefully the Lions' run defense just stinks and running hasn't been affected.........

Yes my bad! i re read and i notice that so i edited. Still that make my statement more true. I�m afraid that the AI will start throwing too many picks now. Hopefully that is not the case and it was just one only game.

Hit the practice field for about 20 minutes throwing mostly streak routes. Here's what I found.

1 on 1 not much has changed. If you have an elite WR 1 on 1 he's going to win a good deal of those jump balls.

Man 2 under works pretty great vs these streak routes however. The safeties do a great job of breaking on the ball. In my 20 minute session once I switched the D to 2 man under I saw a significant drop in success rate on the deep balls. I would say the D was winning 90% of them. So I think it will go back to your ability to read the defense, and find your matchups to attack. That's football to me.

Thank god I made a note on my phone about to beat all the zone coverages in the game...

My only problem with this is that the AI is really dumb when calling plays. So it is too easy to find the 1-1 player. Many 1-1 on 3 and long.

Aggressive catch was not OP on All Madden. I was at about 25% on my attempts before the update. So now are they going to be virtually impossible on All Madden now?

Did you test with deep zones too (3,4,6)?

If anything I'll just adjustment the corner to man. I like to scheme with zone blitz.

So u must like madden 15 better because if u ever threw it deep one on one or zone it would get intercepted the majority of the time

That's what I'm worried about. All Madden played perfect before this update (hopefully it still does)

No..I don't anticipate it changing a whole lot though. The AI safeties were doing a fantastic job of positioning themselves between the ball and the receiver. I was pretty impressed with it.

Cant wait to get off and test this out

I think the tuner affected the running game. Seems easier and game speed at normal feels faster. Looks like I'm gonna have to redo my sliders. Had them almost perfect before the tuner..

Tuner was only for aggressive catches.

I noticed this as well. Seem as though your offensive line particularly your guards hold their blocks much better now. So really I'm not mad at that because before it was like the guards held their blocks for 1 second and instantly let go.

Still took me 27 carriers to crack 100 yards though with the Jets RB.

Far as the passing game, I like it a hell of a lot better now. WRs hold on to the ball much better now, where as before I was seeing way too many drops by star players. I also like the fact there is no more defenders warping over that were out of position to break up passes now. Now if a defender is out of position, they simply are out of position and can no longer make a play on the ball.

Now if EA can tune the pass rush from defensive ends.

You should know by now, anything EA does always have an unintended side effect. Good thing is, this side effect was a good thing.

# 79 wundrbread33 @ 09/04/15 10:35 PM

I think people having issues with the game need to give All Madden a try.

Sorry but I'm seeing placebo effect here.
