Played another game last night (Could only get one in). Really didn't see the punting issue in this game, so I'm not sure why some players have it all the time and some don't. Game was played in Carolina; Pittsburgh's punter got off some long ones but no short line drives between the teams. Panther punter did have one 21 yard shank. I had seen this in the last version of Madden I played (v 12) whenever the defense went into punt block defense. Since I do CPU only I don't know the wind speed and thus this may be the issue, no or very little wind in the game thus no liners. I'll try play the moment next time so if I have to kick afterwards, I may see the wind speed and direction, then just take a needless time out like they do IRL and set it back to CPU only, to see if I would expect the wind to impact the game and if it does.

Likely going to adjust my false start slider and QB accuracy. Accuracy I have at 30 and back up QBs are throwing at a 75% clip. Alot of late game false starts like in the 2 minute drill. I have some tuning to do to the game overall but if they do make a tune to the punting game I think I can get it to work out to start my regular season.

Anyone experiencing constant freezing during cut scenes (post patch)? I have tried to play the first game of my CFM about 15 times and have not made it through a single game without the game freezing. Autosave takes me right back to the same cut scene with no way to continue. I had random issues with this prior to patch but now I cannot even finish a game. ( btw, I am on Xbone) I really like the patch but does me no good if the game is unplayable. Just curious if anyone else is having the same issue?

Also, I noticed if you play a game using alternate uniforms and auto save, when you take it back up again, the teams will be wearing the jerseys they would have worn prior to you changing them (hope this makes sense)

The line drive punt glitch only occurs when a CPU punter is punting INTO the wind during windy condition games. Obviously it has to be an outdoor game.

So the CPU punters do just fine in dome games, low/no windngames, or times where the wind is at their BACK.

But once they have to punt into the face of any kind of wind they chooose to do this low line drive punt that only goes for like 15-25 yards. It looks ridiculous and leaves my team around the 50 yard line or closer every single time. It makes scoring against the CPU way too easy.

My twitter handle is @MrKevinPerry I have several videos of the issue up there to see.

Only thing I can think of is hope they fix it through a tuner and in the mean time super sim all of those situations.

It's not just punts, they do it when facing the wind during kickoffs too.

It's lame I have to super sim so much now.

I think everyone has the glitch, but if you're doing a CFM as New Orleans or Dallas or something you would hardly notice. I play as the Pats, I noticed immediately.

Played a few games last night. I normally play all-madden but thought I'd see what All-Pro offered.

Human passing is far too accurate. I lowered it to 5 and Brian Hoyer was throwing darts on the run and off the back foot. Had over 450 yards passing against the Broncos. So I need to see if putting it to 0 or 1 makes any difference.

The pass rush seemed better. The AI offense seemed better. Threw deep and made some nice plays.

The special teams though is going to make me shelf this game. Automatic Field Goals is a game killer as well as the line drive punts. I think a wind over 7 mph triggers the line drive.

If they fixed the special teams, I think this game could be decent, but without that, the game is not worth playing.

The poster above you mentioned they are looking into the line drive punts. Also, if you are concerned about the punts and FG's, as a workaround you can sim those until it's fixed.

I missed a 47 yarder last night with no wind.

Still, in Carolina I would expect then that I would have seen it as I saw punts in both directions. Kick offs all went to the five, goal line, or five yards deep. Perhaps there is a threshold wind speed that sets this off, and is a ridiculously number but a wind speed below this you don't get it as often? I really saw it once in my first game and can count the shank as the other time, but nothing in between. Still you're correct that tuning this more appropriately to reduce the effect even at high winds is critical if you're seeing it all the time. I'm making up numbers here but I could envision no effect unless the wind is > 10 mph, then that leads to up to a 5 yard difference depending on kicker power, 20 mph knocks them down 10 yards, 30 mph 15 yds, etc. Something along those lines may be more realistic. If you punt normally 45 yards on average, the rare times you kick into a 30 mph wind you might expect kicks between 30 and 35 yards (again, take the kickers power into account?). Just a thought.

Will see what I learn tonight if I can see the actual wind speed in the game. It still seems strange that you're seeing it 100% but I'm seeing it 1 of 4 or 1 of 5 kicks if you're seeing it in any wind condition.

All madden is definitely even easier after patch. Which is great for me actually. The main problem I have, is the cpu qb. It is such a very fine line to get them to throw the ball downfield, not to throw it away for no apparent reason. THEN holding it too long. Sometimes stand there holding the ball Forever and get sacked. Which its almost like you have to raise cpu pass blk, so the qb falls asleep back there. It was an issue before the patch as well.
