I've only had a chance to play once since the patch and in the one game I played I was only able to record 2 sacks and before the patch I was getting 4-6 a game (cpu was getting the ball out very quick). Also, not sure about the numbers but it didn't seem as though I was getting sacked as much either. Didn't notice much else different myself... Well, other than the fact that I could stop the cpu as the sacks had become almost a crutch for me defensively lol

I can't even rate this game because the WR play is so pathetic down the field. For somebody who doesn't want to user catch it is a crippling issue in this game.

The DB's play the ball so much better than WR's.

It's very disappointing

That was kinda off topic but I really wish it was a point of emphasis for the series to fix in this game but I don't think it is

This needs to be addressed for 16. WRs do not fight for the ball at all. DBs are always making spectacular picks while the WRs just stare at them..

If you download the patch, you will eventually see the things that I have been bitching and complaining about. It's only a matter of time . You will see the pass defense is dumbed down. Defenders barely react until the ball is caught. I literally watched a linebacker watch a thrown ball into a receiver's hands before moving at all. He just stood there. In hours upon hours of testing pre patch, I never saw anything like that. This is not just me. There are other slider makers making the same observations. The pass aggression simply is nowhere near what it was prior to the patch. I made another observation with the running backs as well. Some of the running backs are making funny movements behind the line of scrimmage. There are several quirky animations I saw , but one stood out in particular. The running back was Mark Ingram. He took the handoff and his legs literally got tangled up with each other. Another animation consisted of one of my test running backs performing what look to be some funny animation where one foot never hit the ground while the other hit twice in a row. It caused the defense to react in such a way, the running back was able to scamper for 6. Guys, I've been around way too long to make up stories. These were true observations that I never saw before the patch. The issue is that this is typical Tiburon. Now, that said, I traded my game last night. Most people understand that I do everything I can to try to make the game playable for myself before returning it to the store. However, there are just some things I can't overlook, and sadly can't fix. It was never my intention to download the patch, but it downloaded automatically, and before I could do anything about it, it was too late. Again, this was meant as a warning to anyone considering downloading the patch. It was the final straw for me.

100% disagree. Plays better/same for me

I hooked up my connection today to download the FIFA patch and got both without even starting either game. I poked around the menus a bit and under 'notifications' I see there is a check box for downloads but this does not feel definitive. Is there a way to set up my PS4 so that I can control patch content? Thanks.

I am on xbox one and was told that I have to disconnect my network service and be offline in order to not install the patch..I am not an online player so it doesn't bother me..I do reconnect to play NBA 2K15 etc..but it seems to work thus far for me

Put OPI at 0. Its doesn't get called anyway but WR are so much more aggressive. Jump balls, touchline catches etc.

Tries this and saw no difference.

WR acted alone as always. DB plays like he has a family of 57 to feed.

Can't disagree about the WR/DB interaction. It is a one way street on 15. I went to user catching on passes deep down the seam and sideline as that is the only way to fight for the ball. On all other routes I am not having issues.

Other than that and the sacks issue...best Madden ever. Bar none.

# 191 NDAlum @ 11/28/14 12:27 PM

Yea as a guy using the Colts in an online CFM and having my WR's virtually useless down the field it is such a big disappointment to me.

The ball placement is just atrocious and DB's have such a clear advantage over WR's. I agree that there are so many good things about the game...but this area is that one I can't ignore.

We are actually going to look at allowing a few user catch attempts per game so you can feel like you have a shot on deep passes.

Have u tried changing WRs to Agressive in ball in the air attributes ... over 90% of the WRs are on balanced .... just a thought

I think that is only a DB trait. I don't think it has any impact on WR's. Worth a look though

# 194 KrushEm12 @ 11/28/14 05:46 PM

Good point charter .... maybe make WRs trait aggressive for ball in air and bring down DBs from aggresive or balanced to conservative ... ive seen most DBs will be either aggresive or balanced ....

# 195 TheDominator273 @ 11/28/14 06:18 PM

The only problem with editing traits is once rookies come into your CFM the gameplay gets broken again. Unless EA lets us edit rosters within CFM which hasn't happened yet and isn't likely to happen trait editing isn't a long term solution.

# 196 4thQtrStre5S @ 11/28/14 07:47 PM

WR's have no trait for how they go after the ball....LB's, S's and CB's have the "play ball in air" trait....I think it is connected also with the interception slider..

I was playing in Practice mode, Vikings (me) vs Packers...I threw a pass to a WR, I forget which one on a 4 vertical play and LB AJ Hawk, conservative play on ball in air, actually cut in front of the WR and picked off the ball....This is All-Madden settings with everything on default except:

interceptions: 53
Pass Block: 6
Run Block: 6
Tackle: 43

for both HUM/CPU......I believe that maybe Pass Block effects QB to WR passing ability; thus the higher your pass block the better the passing game in general in completing certain passes, such as tightly covered passes.

# 197 KrushEm12 @ 11/28/14 08:33 PM

Ya good point traits and attributes will become useless after 5 years or so ..... So ive been avoiding and avoiding downloading this latest patch do most of u guys feel its a good idea 2 download it or should I jus keep avoiding it .... love 2 hear what u guys think .... ive seen its helped with sack assault but Human running game is 2 easy and WRs have no fight for the ball .... is that it ?? ?? { �� } <=] ~~~~

# 198 Last Gunfighter @ 11/29/14 06:11 PM

I got tired of seeing the disinterested attitude of the WRs too. If you want the WRs to fight for the ball check out Whosnext's Pro mode sliders, the animations shine on Pro mode. I have been playing them with some minor personal edits and have seen some spectacular catches including 2 Hail Marys, 1 at the end of a game and one at the end of the half in another game.

Just a suggestion...

# 199 authentic @ 11/30/14 12:54 AM

Just started a new franchise. First game against the Rams as the Vikings I won 21-20. I had 4 sacks and the Rams had 2. I threw 1 int and the Rams threw 2, one was returned for a TD. I gave up 259 yards and I had 256 yards. Post patch this game has a ton of variety and is really an improvement.

# 200 zizoux @ 11/30/14 03:10 AM

Running game is much much better! This patch made it challenging again.
Also on fade routes WRs are more aggressive. Never seen it before the patch actually.
Animations seem really beautiful and feel organic now. Overall the game plays better. IDK why people are complaining.
