Madden NFL 17 Tuning Update Available Now - Reduces Strip Fumbles

[SECElit3]

Does anyone else feel like this is déjà vu? It seems like every year EA has a habit of keeping the game simulation just long enough for the reviewers to tout that the game is more simulation and will appeal to Simheads. Then, usually about a month after release, they will start making changes to cater to the whining of the online crowd. So typically this results in the gameplay feeling completely different at the end of Madden season. Last year's game play felt great at release, but felt horribly arcadish by the Super Bowl. It almost seems like a bait and switch. Does anyone else feel this way?

Luckily though, a tuner can be deleted without any significant impact to the game, if you don't play head to head. It's the patches that scare me. Because they can't be reversed.

I couldn't download the tuner yesterday anyway..... but my question is to everybody who has the game playing great. Is it in CFM? Because on Play Now, I can not get the cpu qb to throw down field at all. When they do actually throw. 3rd and 12 he throws it in the flat for like a 1 yd gain. Hoping it's better in franchise mode? All pro btw. Default or slider adjustments

Could be total coincidence, but played the Bills in my CFM after installing the tuner and Tyrod had 2 nice scrambles when he sensed pressure. First time i had seen anything like it.

It's so weird because I haven't seen any of these issues. I haven't played much CFM, as I've spent much of my time in Skills trainer and play now games. I play on All-Madden with custom sliders. I guess this could be an All-Pro issue as well. I haven't played with this tuner yet, so I can't speak to any changes it supposedly made

I'm quoting this post for reference.

Might this fix the missing customized plays in my franchise playbook?

Exactly. This is why they need to unconnect franchise mode and/or have separate updates for online and offline, because I don't want the offline game messed up by online only/mut only whiners

Rex stated there was a bug in the strip sack fumbles.

Saying it's anything else besides that is calling him out.
