I am about to try it out now to see about the fatigue.

But I have to give credit to the Dev's, I can't remember a time in the past when we got an update for the old game when the new one was about to launch. I remember the days when we would get that second or third patch in November and then nothing was even spoken about that version.

Thanks Steve for updating! OS famous lol

Hmm, I best they are testing more aggressive fatigue on 16 to see the impact for 17. Plus maybe this will make us think about backup linemen since they never are injuried.

Completely unnecessary. Let it go.

One tiny detail I noticed, the players salary cap number no longer shows on the card in the main item binder page. I'm ok with this.

This, one month before '17 comes out??


Good job.

Me too. I laid this down over a month ago because I got tired of no subbing action going on. Every time I saw my backup RB come in, it was like a mini celebration. And you know what happens when you jack up fatigue TOO much in the second half of games....


May have to leave my obsession with Red Dead to play a few games.

Played a game in my CFM.

Fatigue
Pressure on the QB
Fumbles
Muffed Punt
Tough Tackling a Power RB, Broke Tackles. I had to adjust.


Pressure on the QB, I had to identify where the blitz was possibly coming from....and keep a more close eye on the pocket. Getting rid of the ball quicker.
The Blitz was coming and coming quick. When it was 3rd down and I was 3rd and 18, they sent two on the blitz, all I could do was check down.

Top CB really battling Dez on the outside.......hadn't seen that before.....Not Like this.....

I Liked this a lot.......

Just saw players arguing with ref after a penalty. Wth!!! I never saw that before. Awesome..

Have not seen the muffed stuff or squib but I did notice that the lineman seem more impactful in rub blocking and pursuit of the next guy to block, the lighting seems different along with the images seem more sharper as well as uniform seemed to have more pop too them. when it asked me to update the file size was 89 mb or 86
not no where near a gig like the post suggested but mine was for xbox one so maybe it is for ps4 that is that large, i am sure i will notice more stuff as i go i thought i was seeing new camera angles after the play but not sure. thank you ea for fixing the fatigue . that was a class act

Seems to be playing better gameplay wise. The zones are tighter and the DBs are more responsive and fatigue is working again.
 
# 32 roadman @ 07/21/16 01:35 PM
I wonder if this patch was a tune up for 17?

I've noticed better play from the CB's too.

Good god. Playing against aj McCarron playing for the bills in my CFM. He is throwing darts all over the place!!!! Deep balls, too. This patch needs to be nerfed!!! Lol. But, seriously, I haven't seen this many deep attempts in a game in awhile, and they are all hitting. Bills WRs in my CFM all have speed, too, actually. So, it's legit, but getting infuriating. [emoji35]

Edit: and, just muffed a kick return. So, yeah, they added more muffs, fo sho.
Edit 2: and, the CPU QB is 'quick snapping', which is actually awesome as well. Lol. 2-3 times in the game, right when he lines up under center, the snap takes place throwing me a little off guard which is normally the purpose of doing that in real life. Wow. I love this update.

Yeah tuning update 1 month before madden17. Gameplay is worse than before update imo. Sounds like a marketing scheme to make people think the game is broken and go out and get Nadden 17. Well let's not say broken but you'll have to put in ample time with sliders again to get the game where it was before the update and by that time madden 17 will be out and a refreshing welcome for having to fiddle with sliders anymore

How can I download the new update ? Do I have to download the full game again.

If u didn't receive a notification, u may have to restart your console. I've noticed Xbox one sometimes doesn't recognize when an update to a game is required. So, at worst, try restarting your console. Then, try to play M16, and see if u get a 'software update' prompt.

Not exactly.... Let's say you were on the fence about madden 17 and u were happy with 16. You got the sliders and gameplay just were u want them after countless weaks of tweaking. Now you realize you have to go and tweak again.your mindset might be to just get madden 17 and start from scratch. It would be a great marketing move to target that percentage of people who had reservations on madden 17..... And why would EA drop an update one month before launch?

So Tiberon is trying frustrate their hard core fans into buying the next Madden

Sounds right to me
