Madden NFL 17 Patch 1.10 Available Now, Patch Notes Included

[LBzrule]

I think Purple Zones got messed up in this patch. When I run Mable, the guy in purple, curl to flat sits with the hard flat player in the same spot.

I'm loving the zone coverage improvements. I was in practice, I ran a play where O'Dell Beckham was isolated on the left, he ran a short route against Cover 3, and the corner who was assigned a deep zone realized there was no one on his his side, so he stayed shallow and doubled OBJ. Makes passing a lot harder.

Some more observations:

On All-Pro I put QB ACC for both User and CPU down to 10. Elite QBs can still make all the throws, but they don't make every throw now. Between flat out misses, good pressure, and good coverage there will be some games where the completion percentages are in the low 60s/high 50s. After finishing my previous season and playing the next pre-season, low rated back up QBs are clearly mediocre to poor like they should be.

If you have high 70s back-ups playing in the pre-season, those guys will dominate the low 70s and 60s players now, they really stand out.

CPU RBs can make some nice moves on screen plays. They make little stutter steps and jukes to get yards that they never could get before.

Some of the blocking pick ups are filthy good. I have a LE with 97 FMV so when I execute a clean spin on the RT, I'm expecting to have a free run to the QB. Now on some of the plays the RG slides over and picks me up and it is awesome to see.

Had my LG pull and be able to recognize that the LOLB was coming on a run blitz and kick him out wide, beautiful stuff. That Guard is a 93 OVR, and it was a play that only an elite player should make.

CPU got a 100 yard Kickoff return for a TD against me straight up the middle untouched. The blocking was flawless.

All offensive players seem to fight for yards way better now, unless you get crushed by a big hitter there is very little crumpling down in heap at the first touch by a defender.

What do you have pass block at? Pass rush is improved, I booted up a game with my old slider set, had it at 0, I could barely get a throw off. Great to see sliders being effective.

In spite of Improved Offensive line play Running in this game is still way too impossible

I hope for madden 18 they fix the running game because I hate being 1 dimensional that's not my style I like to be balanced & can't in this game even with a 95 ovr running back its pretty sad..

I can give you some pointers on running if you want. Im pretty good at it. Once you get the hang of it it's really nice.

What are you having trouble with in the run game? What skill level are you using?

Well, I'm not fumbling ten times a game, so there's one improvement.

With that said, the CPU still plays like the '72 Dolphins in the 4th quarter on All-Pro. I guess that's just the way the game is always going to be.

I rarely see that. In most of my games they play poorer in the 4th. In the last game I played I was down 24-7 midway through the 3rd quarter and came back and won 27-24. Better play calling and adjustments in the second half for the CPU is something that I hope is improved for M18.
