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

[4thQtrStre5S]

Shading inside or outside, at least in M2M doesn't work, and it should per the Skills Trainer...I see no cover change, and when I attempt to shade inside or out, I just get the Run Fit diagram; thus indicating to me that the game isn't recognizing it..

If I shade under or over, things seem to work as they should.

So I just finished a game that I won 27-13 packers vs Panthers me being the packers and the CPU had 3 punts for a average of 47 yards with there short one being 28. Cam still didn't try to run with the ball. Really wish they could fix that. I had something odd happened during the game. The Panthers got called for false start like 10 times including on one drive where they got called for it like 7 times in the one drive when they where getting close to a TD. Did the patch break False starts? Other then that the only thing I really notice was that the animations look better on RB when they are trying to break a tackle or trying to at least keep moving forward.

Bcruise, I mean no disrespect, but to me, THIS IS A GAME KILLER. Please let me explain. Because of some health issues I can't do very well being a thumb jockey. My love for this game is being a COACH, building and developing my Team, creating a game plan and watching it all play out before my eyes.

I haven't been able to do this with any version of Madden since M12. I have waited four years to be able to play CPU,vs.CPU. and PLAY OF THE MOMENT was just a huge bonus. The ONE AND ONLY reason I purchased Madden 17 was because of this feature. A new game with all the updates.

My complete joy of this game is CPU vs CPU or POTM. Which allows me to get in every now and then and make a decision. Simming a punt completely takes the joy and excitement out of possibly watching a great return, or a fumble which is a huge part of FB. It totally defeats the purpose of my style of play. Plus the time it takes to exit, then go to POTM, then move to play game, then hit the options button, then sim one play and back to play till end. I spent 60 dollars on a product that said I could do these things.

First we had to deal with shanked punts and 20 yd sky punts and several other issues. Now it's this, the game has been out for a couple of months now; there is absolutely no excuse for it. We are 5 weeks into the NFL and because of these broken issues, I don't care if they put out a new vocal update every week. Make the game work first. I have not been able to even start a serious franchise. I realize that EA caters to h2h and online players. Not many people play as I do, BUT my money is just as good as theirs. I bought a product that is broken, any way you want to look at it. It does not function properly. And I am still waiting for it to be repaired. It's nice that there is a way to sim punts, But that don't work for me. I am tired of having to find work a rounds for issues with the game.

Once again, I mean no disrespect, I thank you for the advice, But 60 hard earned dollars gives me the right to rant. And I am pretty frustrated. I have spent hours and hours, just testing, fixing; now I would actually like to play the game the way it was intended or at least advertised. So I wonder, Will it be another month or two before they address this if at all..

Not at all re: the false starts. You're using something other than default sliders right? (because that never happens with false start at 50).

After playing some games I've noticed that there are some more fumbles, bit nothing that can't be changed with sliders it seems. Also the my run game is absolutely non existent, I love it. All runs seem to be blocked well and you need to pick your holes and use your sticks to your advantage. I've also noticed more defenders coming unblocked and just blowing up plays in the backfield. Don't know if I like that since it seems to happen a little too much. Drops are more often, but I can't complain about that when it's something that happens in real life and isn't a game killer. Another big thing for me is that they turned off the QB scrambling nerf or at least turned it down a lot. I'm not a 700 lb concrete shoes wearing monster trying to run out of the pocket now. I've also yet to see the CPU shank any punts so I'm gonna play a few more games see how much I actually do hate it and then come back and complain. Overall I am loving what I see though. 💆

Yes I am not at default sliders but I wasn't having that issue before the patch. I have yet to start a CFM because I am still trying to find the right sliders from me and with where I have the PS set at I am not seeing enough but if I go up 5 I was seeing to many but of course in CFM you can change each one by a point instead of just up or down 5.

After playing 5 more CPU vs CPU games jumping in with play of the moment. I now believe I have found the problem. As I stated earlier, It seemed to be switching teams. Now I realize what is happening. It is definitely a WIND problem. In the first quarter of a game between my Browns and Philly, My punter (CPU controlled ) punted a line drive every punt. Philly CPU punter punted high and great. Second quarter, CPU Philly punter punted all line drives. My punter punted high and deep.

So it is now obvious, Instead of correcting or fixing he wind, EA simply tried to adjust the Sky kick by lowering the trajectory. This is exactly why some players will see it, some wont. It's all about the WIND. This problem would simply go away if we could adjust the wind or turn it off. Instead of adjusting the trajectory forcing a low kick EA should and could have simply fixed the wind problem which has been an issue for years.

So until this issue is fixed, If you are playing CPU vs. CPU or POTM in a windy stadium. Your punter is going to punt line drives every other quarter, unless you punt yourself. The CPU team will do the same. So I guess to solve the issue you will have to human punt at least every other qt. As for the CPU, I guess sim punt every other QT..

Only played one game but the defense seems faster, holes close quickly for my running back and I got sacked a couple of times because blitzes worked against me, I have less time in the pocket. I actually felt under Preassure playing the game. They should just take wind out of the game at this point because they are not capable of understanding how it works. I would understand if this was madden 2 but we are on the 27th version and they still can't figure it out.
