Madden NFL 16 Title Update #1 Available Now, Roster Update Scheduled For Friday

09:28 AM - September 9, 2015 by Steve_OS

The much anticipated Madden NFL 16 patch has arrived for both Xbox One (732 MB) and PlayStation 4 (749 MB). Check out the list of updates below, which include improvements and fixes for gameplay, Connected Franchise, Madden Ultimate Team, and more.

UPDATE: Just received official word from EA.

Quote:


	Players will not need to restart their Connected Franchises to see most of the fixes in the Title Update. However, due to draft classes being randomly generated, you will have to restart if you want the changes to your current draft class, as we cannot retroactively change those ratings.

Also of note, the roster update is scheduled to arrive on Friday, according to Rex Dickson, creative director of the Madden NFL series.

Let us know what you are seeing!

Sim stats doesn't take consideration quarter length. Unless you super sim. I don't.

No sacks, no rushing yards, he left the pocket once only to get to around the line of scrimmage and throw the ball away. He wasn't even hanging onto the ball for long. lots of slants and quick hitters. He hit Gronk for a 49 yard TD and LaFell for a 18 yard TD and had another long conversion with edelmann for about 36 yards. pretty much played a tom brady-esque, perfect half of football. i'm not sure what some people are seeing, but i'm not noticing any difference with the qb play, post-patch. After the tuner, i notice tackling isn't as effective. lots more busted tackles and this is a really good thing, imo ...

OK, so I deleted the tuner and replayed the same game (Bills vs Pats) and its totally different now. I'm putting pressure on Brady again and he's getting rid of the ball fast, checking down and getting incompletions... I dunno, Im stumped.

I hope that some issues are ameliorated when the new roster comes out, but right now CFM seems like a complete disaster.

They knew (see reddit AMA few days ago) but admitted it was a complicated/dynamic fix that would have a domino effect and may impact other aspects of the game.

As such, we are ahead of the game for M17

If you played 1 season on a brand new copy of the game you could find these issues. If that doesn't show the lack of testing I dn what does. EA must have some great PR people posting in these forums if your really gonna praise them for a "quick patch". I understand if certain game play features need tuning or quick patches but core fundamental aspects of a game mode should be unacceptable these days. However its just become the standard of video games these days. Push it out every year collect the money and maybe 5 months after release the game will be solid. People saying well lets wait till the October patch LMAO. Over a month after release you have to wait to play your favorite game mode on a game you paid for, laughable.

It's post like yours that is the prime reason why I made my thread and why it remains accurate. Negative and never proactive. Not the right mind set brotha

So to be fair, I never once said YOU couldn't be angry about this game not being acceptable for to play RIGHT NOW and made that clear in my post which I've posted again below.

My exact quote was made to a poster who was complaining about this patch which has been released quicker than we've ever got one.

If I disagreed with the disappointments you posted earlier in this thread, I would have quoted you in disagreement, but I don't.

	The game released Aug 25, so roughly two weeks ago. We're looking at another 2 possibly 3 weeks until another patch MIGHT fix the issues. Now my dad and my cousin purchase every year to run a CFM together. They dont get on OS so they dont know of the issues and I have to explain to them why our CFM still has yet to start. Its frustrating when you run out to buy the game release day but its not until a month or more later maybe you can get started enjoying what you spent money on. Now we "could" start our CFM now but if we get through multiple seasons we are going to run into problems that break our CFM forcing us to lose all our hard earned progress and restart. So my question, why do you feel its over the top for me to be angry that this continues to happen every year? I enjoy the game but dont buy the game for "play now". I guess my point, the game not working as intended is not my fault but falls fully on the development team. It is their job to deliver a product which supports the quality people expect.

Yes, I honestly feel badly for those who can't play the game due to whatever issue is making them feel that way. They attempted to address an immediate need and got a patch out quicker than they ever have. I am in no way calling for immediate praise for this patch. I'm just saying the anger over EA getting a patch out quicker than they ever have before is a little over the top to me.

Again, if you read not just my post but the post but the post I was responding to you might see my perspective a little more.

I never once said there is no one that should not be angry about this. I simply was saying that those that were mad over the lack of what this patch fixed aren't necessarily seeing all the angles.

You have every right to be angry about not being able to play since release, but I don't think it would have been realistic to expect a patch released in two weeks to fix what you needed it to fix.

Play Now game without the tuner. Ryan didn't run once. I sacked him a few times, but they were legit sacks. He scrambled away from pressure a few times, but threw downfield instead of running.

# 487 FluffyTonka @ 09/09/15 11:49 PM

it's interesting how some people are seeing one thing, others a completely opposite

i'm playing ALL PRO if that matters any, and everything is fine.

# 488 DiceMan @ 09/09/15 11:54 PM

Played a 15 min quarter NYG (me) vs Saints & Brees didn't take off once. He did however shred me to the tune of 9/10 124yds & 2TDs. This is post patch with the tuner.

# 489 eastcoast49ers @ 09/09/15 11:58 PM

Offline solo CFM, all-pro, armor's sliders. Just sacked Flacco 10 times after he would leave the pocket early and run right into my lineman. Def seems like a bug of some sort, never had this issue pre-patch

# 490 Bootzilla @ 09/09/15 11:59 PM

Played 1 CFM game. Checked the stats and saw a lot of linemen giving up 4 sacks in the first week. Then I looked at how many downs they played and that's where the issue lies. Somehow linemen are playing 90 plays..... Almost all of the players that are giving up tons of sacks are playing 80 to 90 snaps.

I am playing on ps4, all pro 10min quarters. I adjusted the sliders and haven't had any issues with the QB scrambling post patch. Pre patch I was seeing it but now stats seem to be on par. Maybe a few of us are lucky to get great game play not sure, seems weird that there would be that big of a difference.

Armor's sliders does have CPU pass block at 43 and Human pass coverage up to 56. That could def lead to more coverage sacks.

If you're going to test post patch, I've always found it best to start with default sliders. Maybe that's just me.

My experience has been the same as yours. I'm on All-Pro Default as I've been from the start. I feel bad for the people who are having issues, but from a gameplay standpoint my games are great.

# 494 booker21 @ 09/10/15 12:10 AM

I'm not missing any wr in cfm. Post patch. My qb is throwing all passes perfectly. On play now I had 3 or 4 overthrows per game. But in cfm I can't overthrow even on purpose. Anyone else experience this?

Using tanehill btw. After 2 games his confidence is already at 80.

Yup, this was another thing I was experiencing together with the QB sack issue I posted about earlier. I was using Tyrod Taylor with the Bills and I couldn't miss a receiver even if I tried. I deleted the tuner and both problems seemed to go away.

You deleted the tuner or the patch?

You can't delete a patch without deleting all subsequent patches (including the day 1 patch).

# 500 FluffyTonka @ 09/10/15 12:19 AM

played another game.

Houston Vs Saints

Brees 10-18 188 yds 2TDs, no sacks, no rush attempts and he was on fire. I was intense with my pressure, he threw the ball away twice and hit his receivers for quick hitters and big gains.

meanwhile i was mallet and I went 3-12 76 yds 1 TD 1INT.

i couldn't get anything going.

all pro; default sliders.
