Madden NFL 16 Title Update #1 Available Now, Roster Update Scheduled For Friday

10:28 AM - September 9, 2015 by Steve_OS

The much anticipated Madden NFL 16 patch has arrived for both Xbox One (732 MB) and PlayStation 4 (749 MB). Check out the list of updates below, which include improvements and fixes for gameplay, Connected Franchise, Madden Ultimate Team, and more.

UPDATE: Just received official word from EA.

Quote:


	Players will not need to restart their Connected Franchises to see most of the fixes in the Title Update. However, due to draft classes being randomly generated, you will have to restart if you want the changes to your current draft class, as we cannot retroactively change those ratings.

Also of note, the roster update is scheduled to arrive on Friday, according to Rex Dickson, creative director of the Madden NFL series.

Let us know what you are seeing!

I just simmed a season and Mariotta dropped from 60-55 AWARENESS. Reloaded and simmed again and he dropped from 60-57, so seems that crazy regression issue was fixed. I am really disappointed that they didnt fix the RESIGN issue. You still cannot resign your players until OFFSEASON and you have 1 chance to sign them. The moral to the story is, this will be the last time I purchase Madden new. I will wait a month or so after release date and let them get all the bugs worked out before I bother. If they want to release unfinished products so they can meet deadlines, that is up to them, but I won't be one of those throwing money at them to do it.

Are you talking about all your pending free agents? Or just guys you signed off the waiver wire?

What about exaggerated regression due to not meeting the drive goals?

Does anyone think Amazon will allow me to return this game for a refund based on the CFM game mode being so glitched? I feel upset I was duped into buying the game new this year. (I usually wait a month or two for patches and buy it used)

I am not getting this bug.

PS4 never have seen this at all.

So it�s not just capped at 99, but the boost they get is not that high?

no QB acc from 78 up to 89 for example?

# 245 ultralow36 @ 09/09/15 02:28 PM

My pending free agents. I can sign them no problems at all after the superbowl.

Again not seeing this bug at all.

What game do we all have? It's bizarre!!!

Robinson played 16 and gave up 26. ratings at end of season Robinson - 72 PBK - 95 AWR Matthews - 83 PBK - 90 AWR I need to go back and look at the traits and do the test again because the results are not what I expected.

@tef You think it could be the scheme? What is the scheme that both LT's play in?

I mean, that looks fine to me. Matthews PBK didn't drop much because he only gave up 11 Sacks (would have been 17 over a full season). Robinson's dropped more because he gave up 10 more sacks over a full season.

As for AWR rising, I dunno, older players see a small increase in awareness every year because they are veterans and more used to the game now?

It seems to be only a small portion of people who are experiencing this particular problem. I wonder if I should remove and completely reload my game and see if that fixes it. It isn't a huge deal, I can always wait until after the season to sign them but I like to get the deals signed as soon as I can. If they end up having a huge season it is just more money out of my pocket when realistically I could sign a solid deal with them in the beginning.

I would do that. I have not seen this bug at all. I am testing a 32 team offline CFM....all my pending FA are there and I can resign them during the season.

That's strange. I'm in a 32 user CFM (coach mode) and we have been running a trial league until the patch/roster update are released and nobody has mentioned not be able to sign anybody. I don't know how many tried but it was one of the first things I checked out because as the Bills being able to resign my own guys is critical.

They are there for me to re-sign but won't agree to anything.

Wasn't that something people said before patch was the resigning issue ? Pretty sure i saw people saying this before patch as well

# 257 PleasedToMeetMe @ 09/09/15 02:41 PM

Is the Xbox One frame rate issue now solved with this new patch?

In the population of every NFL player to play since 1999, the average amount of SPD lost is about 0.005 seconds for every year in the league. That means that after 10 seasons, a player will only lose, on average, about 0.05 seconds on a 40 time. I have data to back that up. These guys desperately need better data and a better methodology for rating that attribute in particular.

I would disagree wholeheartedly with you on your #2 point. While before the veterans combine I would have agreed, watching the veterans combine proved some interesting insight to shelf life of regressing talent in the speed department. IE...Felix jones...ran a 4.3 low 40 in the draft. Ran a 4.7 or something this combine. That's significant in regression. AND...he trained for that event so I would clip another MS off that.

Wait, so you control all 32 teams? Cause that might be the difference.
