I had only made a few tweaks to default All-Pro and with the patch I went back to pure default AP(except for penalties) and for my skill level and style of play I won't be needing to make any changes.



I feel like the CPU opponent plays much sharper now. Nothing has been drastically changed, but everything has been tight up, so to speak.

Like many others, I am looking to restart my offline CFM now that the most recent patch has been dropped.

What is everyone’s preferred setup with the new patch in terms of tuners vs no tuners installed and 32 team control vs single team?

Thanks in advance for the feedback.

Awesome list of fixes. Awesome job Rex & Company, EA. Just awesome.


Can't wait to really get into it tonight.


That being said, add me to the list of disappointed folks that the XP sliders are not available for offline franchises. Guess I have to restart both of mine now that I was several years into and move them online. Really not a big fan of that. Oh well, the option is there at least.


All in all, this is a very pleasant surprise indeed.

Rebooted my franchise last night. I deleted everything and reinstalled everything post-patch.

Everything felt a little more polished, but I didn't really notice a huge difference in gameplay. That was fine, because I was happy with it before the patch.

One bug I noticed that was there before the patch and still exists: I sacked Bridgewater with 38 seconds left in the game and the clock stopped. No timeouts were taken. The clock just stopped. It started again when the next play started.

I've only noticed it before on sacks, and it doesn't happen often. I play with injuries off, so I'm guessing it's a play where Bridgewater would have been hurt if they had been on, and the game still registered the injury timeout.

This....this is good

XP sliders are live now and....holy crap. 0 on that slider LITERALLY MEANS 0 XP. It's evident if you zero out one of the sliders and go check its respective position in weekly goals. I checked Tyron Smith since he's the first one on Dallas' goal list, and all of the season goals show 0 XP bonus, with the weekly goals only showing a confidence bonus.

The sliders move in 2% increments btw, not 1%. That's still a huge level of progression customization. This is an extremely powerful tool.

Also, can confirm they do not work for offline franchise, even brand new ones. The box is grayed out. Setting up to add this into '17 I suppose - perhaps this is only something that could be added to the game's code on the server-side.
