Was wondering about this to.

Yeah i would think it might be today too

No fix to the repeating draft class bug in CFM? Considering this breaks the entire offline CFM mode, unless you have NCAA and use imported draft classes, its omission seems rather glaring.

Forgot all about that. No mention of the IR bug.

They do mention repeating storylines. Since this issue is fixed in online, I'm guessing that's what they're talking about.

The good
- Improved stability in all game modes.
- Tuned down broken tackles when using the Truck Stick.
- Fixed an issue with toss/sweep plays when game speed was set to Slow
- Fixed an issue with accelerated clock in CFM Head-to-Head games.
- Fixed an issue where some players from an Imported Draft Class would not have facemasks.
- Reinstated touchdown celebrations in all online game modes.

Overall this is a decent list of good. The tuning down of those truck broken tackles is nice because they were definitely overpowered. As silly as it is, a nice TD celebration adds to the moment. It's a pretty small list. I'd like to see DL shed blocks a bit easier and a better pass rush. Also would like for man coverage to be a little looser.

The bad
- Tuned in-game injuries which were occurring too frequently.

I think this change is horrendous. They were perfect with regards to how often guys get injured. Look at the damn NFL right now!?! We finally had SOME injuries and they tone it down. Ridiculous

We'll see
- Tuned ratings for imported draft classes

I'll have to do a few tests on this to see how they turned out

# 27 michapop9 @ 10/23/13 04:05 PM

wow I guess no one has issues with no fix to sim stats? Especially for qb's are you kidding me? Just give us the sim stats from madden 13 after the patches and they were much more accurate. Cant believe no ones mentioned those yet.

Did you even read the post before commenting? Lol.

If there are no sim stat fixes i ain't buying it.

# 30 brent3419 @ 10/23/13 04:17 PM

honestly im glad there fixing the injuries. i lost my backup qb on the first play in the preseason which aggrivated me cause he is a rookie im developing. the helmet glitch with the rookies is nerve wrecking. nothing like seeing an ion 4d mask on a revo helmet. i didnt even know the rookies were rated too low i thought it was my schemes. but it took too long for this patch to release and i believe we will get a second nxt gen patch before a third current gen one

Man, I was hoping for better simmed stats and working auto-subs...

# 32 Armor and Sword @ 10/23/13 04:22 PM

Oh look what a surprise anther complaint thread.

In all seriousness......the two most important fixes for me were.....

1. Repeating draft classes in CFM - I am about to advance to week 2 in year 2 and will wait till I DL this patch before doing so. I love using the Madden created draft classes....way more fun. And now I don't have to worry about my current CFM being ruined by this bug that is now fixed.

2. Stuck in the mud on "Slow" speed on pitch and toss plays - I can now go back to the absolute best game speed in M25 with slow. I developed my sliders to be played on slow (can be played on normal as well) and now I can enjoy the great animations and organic feel on slow.

Tuning down the truck stick was also good as it was very powerful.

Overall.....since I already love the game....this just tunes and fixes a couple of major things.

I wish Auto Subs would work right.....but I solved it by going back to default fatigue.....and doing my own subs. It is what it is. I am not going to let that ruin what I feel is a really fun game and the best playing Madden this gen.

I have not had this much fun since last gen with Madden. And it will probably go down thus far as my favorite Madden game ever. With Madden share......it has taken it to new levels. Rysumm's classic rosters are insanely good.

Did they fix that dive shoe lace tackle B.S. if not IDC

No kidding. The injuries were perfect. I'd get a 1-5 a game with a major injury every 2-4 weeks. Back up quarterbacks actually matter this year unlike in madden 13. CPU teams would have anythere between 0-8 players out at a time which is totally realistic, just look at a real life NFL injury report. I REALLY hope they didn't screw this up because injuries are one thing that actually worked right in this game.

BTW, isn't this what the injury slider is for?????

If this works, that is awesome news!

# 40 schmit_95 @ 10/23/13 05:13 PM

Nice list. Will have to fire Madden up again. But I was really hoping the 87 Eagles helmet would get the wing added back on. That plain green helmet annoys me to no end.

Also wished they fixed the fight songs to play fully after a touchdown, not cut off 5 seconds in with fake crazy train....
