Sounds like QB issue is still a issue and this patch didn't really do much. Sounds like a waste of a patch.

Is anyone else seeing an increase in fumbles?

This patch had nothing to do with OS and everything to do with the tournament for MUT that was being played this weekend.

Hopefully, the title update in February will be more geared for the OS crowd.

While last year was the first good madden in like 10 years and this years was good to and we have gotten more patches the last 2 years. But I don't know if that is really a good thing that we are getting more patches because just about ever patch the last 2 years have madden offline play more and just about ever patch has been more MUT and left issue that should be fixed unfixed.

A lot of it has to do with how vital user control is to the tourney scene as well.

This does not make sense. The reason to use ball carrier and receiver mechanics is to achieve a higher success rate in the action you're taking. The QB is opposite.

Does it seem like a change was made to draft pick trades? I used to be able to get within +/- 10% using TDawgs & Nate's tools and the trade would be accepted. Now it seems like I need to be closer -15% to -20% in the CPU's favor for draft pick trades to be accepted.

I think it follows their risk-reward model though which they've shown to embrace. The more "advanced" the input, the greater the potential reward but also attached to that is the greater risk as well. Use a precision spin move? Increased chance of faking out multiple defenders, increased chance of fumbles. Use aggressive catch? Increased chance for spectacular catch, increased chance of dropped pass. Use passing modifiers to try to throw precision pass? Increased opportunity to put the ball exactly where you want it with a higher chance of inaccuracy. I agree it doesn't make sense in all situations but it's a model that they've shown they're content to embrace and will likely be a heavy influence in future on-field features and gameplay aspects.

I do feel like there are more now and IMO it's nicely balanced in terms of what situations trigger them.

Based off of the some of the other flaws that the CPU has with drafting and team construction I don't mind a greater advantage for them in this area.
