Madden NFL 17 Title Update #7 Available Now, Here Are The Details

[mtmetcalfe]

So did anything positive come out of this patch?

Just played my first game post patch. Noticed a couple of things. Had an injury that was "return soon". Played Kansas city and their starting rb had 36 carries. They ran the ball a lot even on third and long and even in the fourth quarter getting stomped.

Also it would seem over a month was too "finite" to find time to fix it... Lastly, he affirmed what we already knew... they prioritize MUT over the concerns of the sim community. Of course I am dissapointed yet another painfully obvious glitch in Madden made it through QA and will go unfixed... but I am not at all surprised. If I had an exclusive license of a video game where MUT made me millions I'd ignore us too. And laugh all the way to the bank like they have since the tyranny of the exclusive licensing started a decade ago. Same as it ever was.

MUT sucks, but enough fools spend real money on their paid for "teams". I have never wanted to play "dress up", but that is what MUT seems to be. All show and no go (skill). Best experience in my view is building a dynasty from nothing. Played MLB the show for months, NBA 2K also, best around. I love football, that is the only reason I buy Madden, becuase it somewhat resembles football and unfortunately is all we got. BTW, They don't need another patch, they need another DEV TEAm.

Does the new update include generic names for drafted players in CFM?

Smh. What shame. Not a good answer to something that was previously confirmed. The worst thing you can do to a customer base (in any business) is alienate trust and lose credibility. Ouch. Haven't seen a bait and switch consumer product similar to this in a long time.

Do the other gameplay fixes in the update not apply to sim players, or what?

Or did you just need a lead-in for the "us vs them" monopoly rant?

Don't go off of others perspective, play the game yourself and make your own judgement.

If there's an area you would like to see improved , Rex said present it in a plausible/applicable manner and they will look at it.
- I can 100% say when you present your thought in this manner, they will answer you.

Anyways, I set the Fumble Slider at 1 and got met in-air when diving over the pile at the goaline and fumbled with an edited 99 Carry RB, loved it!!!
- now got to find Carry thresholds that will work best on default and run with them.

I do appreciate the feedback.

I think that is a some of that is a bit of hyperbole.

He said some things fall off because of other priorities and a timing issue. I wouldn't take that to mean that MUT is more important than the punting priority.

Heck, I think MUT had 4 or 5 lines of fixes compared to more than 10 or so to game play, didn't it?

Edit- Heck, it's not even close, 18 fixes for game play, 5 fixes for MUT, and a fumble slider to boot.
