Played against Matt Ryan (a notorious scrambler pre-patch). He took off once and it was on the goal line when everyone was covered and a hole opened up in the middle of the line (they were in spread). He scored the TD easily - thing of beauty.

I played the Falcons in my Bucs CFM today and didn't see Ryan scramble once. Now, he did roll outside the pocket to evade pressure, but never tried to run upfield.

To add on that point, something really cool with one of the plays Ryan broke the pocket was he had pressure coming right at him, so he threw off his back foot. The ball, intended for Julio Jones, came up short and was intercepted by my DB.

CPU pass rush definitely more agressive now, which I like.

Just played Cowboys (Me) vs Panthers (CPU) on default All-Madden.... Got my *** handed to me lol first time in a while the CPU gave me a beating

- AI pass rush teammates definitely more effective
- Inaccurate throws seem more common, missed a lot of throws with Romo
- Scrambling trait works accurately in Play Now, Cam took off a couple times, idk about CFM yet
- Got a nice win on a 50/50 ball with Dez

Interesting to hear the pass rush was one of the games biggest issues becuase the only way to get a lot of pressure was to have pass blocking really low but they you would have some plays where guys would break threw the line way to fast and you wouldnt have the right postion getting the pressure. WR/DB interactions felt great even before so I didn't think they could get much better. When it comes to the QB scrambling thing I never had the problem of pocket passers trying to take off before. I don't know why some people see that and another people don't but I never had that issue before. I did have the issue though that scrambling QB would like never take off and that was not a issue before the patch before this patch. After the last patch like no QB would try to run. So my question is with this patch do scrambling QB scramble again?

Are there additional fixes since the last patch. I read that if you switch it is still broken.

I'm impressed that the dev team put almost all of the popular nano blitzs to death... wonder what the cheesers will come up with now???

No....the camera does not swivel all the way around where you lose track of the play. It is fixed and working like it did on Madden 15.

Play the game and find out. It pulls back if the ball is thrown....allows you to switch with no issues (even though I play no switch).

They tuned it back to how it played on M15. I played 3 full games and played defense exclusively from the defense cam (no player lock) and the camera is (no doubt about it) fixed now with this third patch.
