Madden NFL 17 Title Update #2 Available Now For Xbox One & PS4 - Details Included

[rudyjuly2]

Played one game and lost 20-17 to Bills. Hard to say what has changed after one game. Felt similar. I did see a non qb fumble and I was sacked once and never fumbled. Stretch play defence seemed a bit better. One thing I did notice was tackling from behind seemed better. Receivers made catches and we're tackled rather than race to end zone. CPU DBS had hands of glue on interceptions. I threw a bunch and they made me pay every time.

Didn't seem like a huge difference or anything but I only played one exhibition game. Sideline awareness was still bad. Tyrod Taylor did scramble once but didn't move around much other than that.

Pretty disappointing that they still havent fixed fumble recoveries being blown dead despite the defender not being touched or even being tackled in some instances.

The CPU teams PUNTER will only punt line drives for about 40 yds that bounce. It doesn't matter if its with the wind or against it. Every single punt is a low line drive. 3 games, same punt every time. I can't be the only person this is happening too. Some one else has to notice this. I didn't notice it immediately after the patch, really wasn't paying that much attention, Was watching for other things. But after the tuner, I am getting this every game. Does anyone else see this or am I just haunted with bad luck. ?

I had this happen on the first punt in the first post-patch game I played but haven't seen it since. Everything else has been a normal punt since then.

Maybe I'll trying deleting my profile see if that does anything

Dude, I'm experiencing the exact same thing as you. Played 2 games so far, and it's been awful...CPU ran for less than 2 ypc in both games, passing is unstoppable (both USER and CPU had >80% completion in both games), and I wiped the CPU out in both. I was loving the game before, but this sucks. However, I have seen this happen before...you get one version of game play, you make a small change, like play clock, or you delete the profile, and suddenly you get a different game, for better or worse. So, like you, I am going to mess around with deleting my profile and maybe the tuner, too.

Oh, and yes, I've seen those line-drive punts. The CPU did it every single punt in one game.

No one else is having this?? I can't even play all of a sudden.. I tried re-starting the game a couple times but it keeps happening.

Before the patch the issue was CPU popping punts into the wind about 20 yards. You guys are now see low liners about 35-40 yards bouncing in front of returner? Is it in both directions in a game? I'm watching CPU v CPU and so far just one half punter with the wind has hit normal trajectory 45 and 65 yard punts. In the direction I assume is against the wind I've seen that low line drive punt. My sample size is very small so I'll report back when I have more data. Check if this is happening on all your CPU punts or just in one direction in games. Also look to see if it also happens indoors. I'm definitely seeing high trajectory punts with the wind in this game. Just now into the wind a 45 yard normal punt. Need moe data.

I have seen in the game mccarron scramble for 12; the bengals go for it on 4th and one early from the colts 45 and mccarron called for an illegal forward pass. Two fumbles by colts wide outs.

Seems as if they might've nerfed the draft classes a little too much. Or maybe I'm just experiencing a bad draft class. So far 90% of the players scouted are either 7th round or undrafted talent.

Well at least I know now this isn't just me. But it is a complete GAME KILLER. I guess it just decides which Punter it is going to affect. Playing H2H probably don't matter because you will do your own punting but it is a killer to CPU. VS CPU. In my last test game, I was thrilled to see the CPU do a normal punt, But then, When my Browns, MY TEAM went to punt, It was my team doing the line drive punts.

So once again, POTM and CPU vs. CPU becomes unplayable. In the POTM mode, I can fix it by doing my own punting if it affects my punter, But if it is affecting the CPU punter. There is nothing you can do. It completely ruins the game.

I guess I will try a complete re-install and try not to DL the patch that was supposed to fix things, Not ruin them. Doesn't anyone test these things before they put it out. This is becoming more Frustrating than it is enjoyment. It is totally ridiculous and absolutely no EXCUSE for it.

I wouldn't even care if there was a work around, But there is not. Tried deleting profile, tuner, and nothing worked so it is in the patch. I think EA should pay me for all the time and effort that I have spent trying to make a broken game playable.

If anyone finds a solution, I would appreciate it if you would share.

Yes that's exactly what I'm talking about. That's what I'm seeing all of a sudden. That low line drive that bounces in front of my guy.. EVERY single time the CPU punts.

This never happened before the patch...

Another weird thing is when I start a home game in my CFM (as Patriots) the announcers keep saying "Welcome to MetLife Stadium in New Jersey!" even though it's my home games at Gillette.

But this punt thing is ruining the game. I literally can't play a game against the CPU. WTF.

How do I un-install this patch? I want to see if that fixes it. I'm on PS4, please help.
