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!

Ouch. its the only player having this? maybe this Robinson just suck

Sounds like QB's that don't get rid of the ball or take coverage sacks are getting their LT's ratings to plummet. System can't detect a coverage sack or a QB with no awareness.

Clear your cache. I've read that makes the game run better.

Sacks will be down across the board, which is not terrible.

Check how many sacks Greg Robinson allowed during the season. If it's a bunch, like more than 25 individually, then nope, you are not missing anything, the game's progression / regression mechanics are reacting to the sim engine producing too many sacks allowed for left tackles.

I did- and you are right- but the combine data they reference is from NFL scouts. Again, as I said- this 4.15 time came from multiple sources. The Wikipedia reference isn't from a dude with an analog stopwatch in the stands....

I dont really care if he let 40 sacks thru, 36 pass blocking is worst than a high schooler. Lets not try to make this sound as if this is in anyway acceptable here please....

But the incoming rookies would mess this up going forward correct?

# 330 kchuskey @ 09/09/15 05:18 PM

So...... With the exception of having fast rookies, and having LT's suck in a couple years, can I start my offline CFM?

It's also not acceptable to just look at a number and say "this is bad" without attempting to understand how the game arrived at the number to diagnose the problem. That doesn't help anyone identify and fix the issue.

Just summed a season and Greg Robinson had a 52 pbk

Yeah, you should be good to go. Unless you want to wait on roster update.

Game is the same. I just suggest you play some games. I don't see anything at all different on the field.

Awesome. I'm a Kansas City fan, so I'm used to seeing LT's suck anyways.

Yeah, and just to clarify again as of now there's been no concrete info from EA that the rosters on Friday will have any speed adjustments. My league has opted for doing our own global edits to CBs and WRs and atarting today.

So excited to get CFM rolling

what about a fix for players who go from full speed to a snails pace just when you're about to break for a big gain....... this happened a few times to me.

I haven't looked at the draft classes yet but my guess is yes.
