You can for online or offline. If you are at home and want the road team to wear white, then choose your dark color uniform. If you are on the road and want to see the home team wear white, select your dark color uniform. Follow the same concept when playing or playing as the cowboys if you want them in their proper colors.

I did that when i played Dallas and they still wore blue .Dallas has not worn their blue jerseys vs the giants in NY since 1987 ...Still do not know why you cant change uniforms for the teams you are playing against ..For Thanksgiving i like to play the games and use the throwbacks for both teams ,...Can not do that anymore ...Thanks EA !!!!

Not to ruin the "suspense" for anyone that hasn't played the game post patch, but nothing is changed from a CPU QB AI perspective. Patriots (me) at Green Bay. All Pro default (No Tuner). Had to quit after three quarters because I was so disgusted. Rodgers 21-24-274-2TDs was sacked 8 times, 3 of those in the redzone, 1 was a legitimate sack off of a LB blitz, and the other 4 were in zone coverage where Rodgers just stood there.

I'd also like to add that of ALL of the sports games on the market, Madden is HANDS DOWN the UGLIEST animating game I've seen since...well, Madden 13. The rubber bending, the bowling pin falls, the warping, the sliding, the defenders making tackles with their arms at their sides, add your own. It's time to blow up this dumpster fire of a game engine up. What ever happened to the bs marketing line "you'll never see the same animation twice?"

All I really want is for the QB to not hold the ball so long and throw more downfield passes (stop the dink and dunks in the flat) as well as lower the sack rate (increase CPU pass blocking and QB reaction time).

The qb in this game is more concerned with completion percentage than winning the game...untill this changes, no gameplay adjustmentents will improve how long they holds the ball. The logic is not human based and therefore not down and distance related....meaning that if the cpu needs more than ten yards for a completion or first down, the cpu qb will always take the high percntage pass over the ill-advised downfield pass. This makes madden easy on any level as long as you stuff the first two plays. Its lazy programing and is deeply embeded in its code. I've seen the cpu have 7 or more seconds to make a throw and its final determination was an out to the running back for a loss while clearly having another option.

Its funnier that people believe their sliders make a difference vs difficulty.

If anyone wants to see default AM gameplay with the update and not just opinion go to my twitch channel and check out the newest video in my previous streams

Are you feeling like the update will necessitate any slider changes?

Thanks

Depends on how extreme your sliders are I guess. I've pretty well went default. I don't play the CPU much anymore though. 80% of my games are online CFM or other online user games

This gameplay reminds me of Madden 13, which was a terrible game. I'm done with it. I tried default sliders and rosters. They dumbed down the pass defense, which is the first thing I noticed. Before the patch the corners and safeties, as well as linebackers, were very aggressive with my settings. Now, I can't get them to be aggressive on any settings. I throw all over the field.

Yea. I don't know. I played a game and a half and I honestly didn't notice much difference. The CPU QB was harder to sack and less Robo in accuracy. It was a little harder to run ISO runs up the middle. It just wasnt as drastic to me. You check out my archived stream and see what you think.

Either way most of my games are against humans these days. That helps a lot for me. Being in a sim league is much better than playing the CPU to me.

Please don't take offense to this, I know you have been around on OS for years and helped a lot of people out, but wondering if you think that because you have been disappointed with the initial game, that maybe you are looking for problems? Lots of people have said that the game feels better etc.

Like I said, not having a go, just thought it could be a case of the "reverse placebo" effect. If you are expecting rubbish, it will be.

# 112 charter04 @ 11/25/14 08:27 PM

One thing I noticed late last night and early this morning was that I had my setting on All Madden then I would go into a play now game and at some point in the first half it would switch the difficulty to Pro. I noticed the kick meter would get slow and show the three kick points. I made sure it was right before the game too. I finally switched from AM in the main menu and switched it back to AM. Works fine now. I wonder if anyone else has had this happen and not notice it during testing.

Just throwing that out there

This patch has destroyed my Madden Franchise! Using Armor and Swords sliders I'm playing Washington and I'm Houston and at half im losing 28-7. Houston has a good D and a great front line and I can't stop anything.

Griffin 8-8 passing for 128 and 2 TD's and 1 carry for 21
Morris 9-96 and a TD at one point he broke 7 tackles

Mallet 6-17 82 and a TD and been sacked 6 times
Foster 8-24 and my WR have dropped 4 open passes

I can't stop Washingtons offense for ****!

# 114 deezycobain @ 11/25/14 11:33 PM

in reference to the player likeness update, i dont understand how they can fix 160 player models, but still havent fixed AHMAD BROOKS with the niners, it drives me crazy its not even like hes some under the radar unknown player in that case it'd be whatever... along with other players still too..
i really honestly would care less about these small fixes if we could have a decent offline franchise with real physics...... ugh

# 115 manitoba450es @ 11/25/14 11:35 PM

I found a hard to sack now. Getting maybe 3 a game compared to 3 per d-lineman. My secondary sucks now but I am playing with the bears and they don't have jack for line backers or CB's so it was kinda nice I'm not leading the league in defence. I don't know seemed way more realistic the games I played I was gonna give up because I found the game too easy and dumb with the sacks. Actually enjoyed playing games the last few games on cfm. Hope things go better for you boys

When a patch comes out its best to try default stuff to see how it plays. Sliders are made based on previous tuning. Just my 2 cents

I was not prompted to download, just directed to the updated player patch. If we have instant on on xbox one does it automatically save patch? Where do we see what patch version we have?
*Edit I am confused is the player likeness download actually the patch as well? I saw people say something about a 3 gig update for XBOX ONE?

# 119 dgdfgds @ 11/26/14 02:22 AM

WTF???!! That's it??? Ok, I'm done. Game is being traded this week.[img]

I played madden earlier to see what the uniform updates looked like like. I noticed the Eagles gat the nike elite update. But they're flywire actually shines. It reflects the light off the collar. No other team that has the flywire collar does that. Also the Vikings has the shiny collar as well. Weird
