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

[Champion8877]

I don't know about you guys, but every FG Ive missed this year from under ~40 yards has been because I let the power bar go all the way to the top. Yes short field goals are automatic if you get the power right. But it was like that both before and after the patch.

Basically, all they did was make Long FGs a little easier by increasing the accuracy bar. And long FGs still aren't automatic, I missed a 46 harder yesterday and Roadman has missed some long ones as well.

Just saying, I think some of you are overreacting by saying they broke FGs and they are automatic now. Short FGs aren't any more automatic than they were before, it's still all about whether you let the power go too much or not. The only way I was missing a 25 yarder pre patch was if I accidentally let the power hit the top. Same thing post patch. And the long FGs are slightly easier, but personally I don't even notice it because they really aren't changed much

So Roadman and TVerts... To clarify, was the change made to the kicking difficulty necessary? Was it absolutely necessary to make that change?

Ugh.....I was hoping this would be patched to match reality.

Based on all the metrics they had and gathered, the answer is yes.

GUYS, You are not hearing me. You would only know this if you went back to out of the box game play. The speed was reduced with the first patch. I can't speak for what the speed is post the second patch. It was absolutely reduced from out of the box game play.

Honestly, I haven't felt or noticed a speed difference in the kicking meter since launch.

Sounds to me like the majority of the complaints were online and not due to innate difficulty of the mechanics, but resulting from the latency aspect.

If that is indeed the driver, why couldn't they separate online vs offline adjustments to the kicking, much like they did with the nano blitz detection?

So what were these metrics? How were they compiled? Did it take into account people playing for the first time or did it grab data from people who had 10 or more games in.

Was it grabbing my data when I was testing the broken field goal slider and shanking all those field goals while testing the broken slider below 30 FGA.

At this point all we can hope for is that they fix the broken FGA slider so we can adjust the game as we like. Hopefully they respond back to that issue.
