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

[Fist Of Kings]

My game plays exactly the same so far. AI still not adapting to the same pass play being ran, qbs still robo, and mobile qbs not scrambling. It just kills the game knowing that I could run the same play whenever I want. The ai should be smart enough by now to see when a defensive play works, and force me to change my tactics.

And the playcalling is still wonky. Why is the ai calling a playaction pass despite being down heavily in the 3rd quarter?

I just have to say after about 10 games with the patch I'm loving what I see. (Besides punting/FGs) I'm sure that is going to be fixed sooner than later though. Actually had Big Ben throw deep on me plenty of times last game and it was really nice with a couple over throws and even an underthrow.

He is seeing things. Here is a GIF of a field goal I recorded over two weeks ago (top) and one I just recorded about twenty minutes ago (bottom) under the same circumstances. The speed is exactly the same as it was before.

Feels slower to me.....something is different. Maybe the accuracy is wider so it feels slower as it is easier to hit the accuracy in the middle of the bar......in any case.....they made kicking a little easier with the patch. No doubt about it. But I still miss some.

CPU punting into the wind needs to be fixed though. Line drive punts. Have not been that awful per se.....but obviously I can't imagine not intended to this degree.

Before the patch.....same 8-10 plays over and over. They definitely tuned it and the game feels great. The running game is a ton better. Tackling feels better...the game is playing much tighter and even more organic outcomes are happening IMO. Defense is definitely better. Fumbles are unpredictable and have happened to my RB and WR's. I love the game post patch even more than before it. It really feels so much better now.

Wait.....Armor. As a top slider guru are you really saying the game plays great and shows drastic improvement vs the out of the box version? Surely you have to be seeing EA catering to the online h2h crowd and completely abandoning us offline CFM franchise players?!?! I mean you do play offline CFM so how can you not see EA not caring about you?

No way! The FG speed was changed by 32.67%, I could feel it

A & S, Clint mentioned earlier today on Twitter that the accuracy area was widened by 10% and told 4Verts that the speed of the kicking meter hasn't been touched since launch.

Doesn't the meter descend faster when you go MAX power?
In this gif one is MAX power and the other is at the "line" yet they both descend at the same speed.
Just an observation.

Edit: But thinking this through again...this would imply that the meter was sped up, right?
