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!

LOL

CFM Fixes -

It's funny to think some people actually praise EA for fixing these after launch in a couple of weeks. If you played 1 season on a brand new copy of the game you could find these issues. If that doesn't show the lack of testing I dn what does. EA must have some great PR people posting in these forums if your really gonna praise them for a "quick patch". I understand if certain game play features need tuning or quick patches but core fundamental aspects of a game mode should be unacceptable these days. However its just become the standard of video games these days. Push it out every year collect the money and maybe 5 months after release the game will be solid. People saying well lets wait till the October patch LMAO. Over a month after release you have to wait to play your favorite game mode on a game you paid for, laughable.

This is probably nothing, but has anybody tried playing post-patch without the tuner? I've always been a little leery of the tuners, especially after a patch has come out.

I'm playing now without the tuner. So far Matt Ryan hasn't scrambled. He's eluded the rush a few times but then thrown downfield.

What about the cfm bug? Can we play it saving on the cloud now?

The rookie class I checked did seem better for Qb's deep accuracy rating. the highest was 74. I did a super sim and Romo had 13 carries. lol .12 minute quarters. so I guess the "fix" was for a much lower Quarter length. I haven't had a chance to check out the game play stuff yet

How many sacks did they give up?

Started new CFM just now... playing as bills so I can get good pressure on Brady with their D. All Pro default.

I got videos of all three sacks.

What a sad, sad read of a thread.

I haven't seen anyone praise the amount of fixes and as I mentioned earlier it's important to remember that we've never gotten the first patch this early.

I know it wasn't ideal for everyone and seems to have not solved several problems but it wasn't meant to solve all problems.

The timeframe for this release was actually incredibly quick compared to recent years and there will be other patches.

I know right now that doesn't make some feel any better nor is it meant to but at some point you have to look back at some perspective and see how responsive they've been this year compared to years past.

I can pre-emptively answer some of your responses before you quote me:

Yes. I know it didn't fix everything.

No, I am not excusing anything. I know there are still problems.

Yes, I honestly feel badly for those who can't play the game due to whatever issue is making them feel that way.

They attempted to address an immediate need and got a patch out quicker than they ever have. I am in no way calling for immediate praise for this patch.

I'm just saying the anger over EA getting a patch out quicker than they ever have before is a little over the top to me.

It is great that the drive goals bug was fixed. I think I can probably play a CFM and have fun as is now and hope more fixes drop later on.

I deleted the tuner because after the patch I did not like how my DB's were reacting to long passes, they were letting the receiver jump for the ball while they just stood and watched. After deleting the tuner I liked it a little better. I have not seen the scrambling QB issue at all.

R these only in CFM or do u see them in play now?

This is my biggest issue right now. I have my safeties letting receivers catch deep passes and taking bad angles when the balls in the air. It so damn annoying.

Looking forward to your findings.

# 475 FluffyTonka @ 09/10/15 12:15 AM

well i'm not sure what is happening. i'm on PS4

just played a half as the 49'ers Vs the Pats.

Brady's stats at half time

12 - 17 161 yards 2TD's. No sacks, no rushing yards, he left the pocket once only to get to around the line of scrimmage and throw the ball away.

He wasn't even hanging onto the ball for long. lots of slants and quick hitters. He hit Gronk for a 49 yard TD and LaFell for a 18 yard TD and had another long conversion with edelmann for about 36 yards.

pretty much played a tom brady-esque, perfect half of football.

i'm not sure what some people are seeing, but i'm not noticing any difference with the qb play, post-patch.

After the tuner, i notice tackling isn't as effective. lots more busted tackles and this is a really good thing, imo ...

It's becoming evident on a daily basis that EA needs to get some people on the development team that know what they are doing because the current crew is not cutting it.

It's as if they don't test anything and just hope it will either work or go unnoticed.

It's funny before the patch I loved what the tuner did for gameplay. It's amazing how the more they try to fix the game the more gets broken....oh well I am happy with how it played without the tuner and will start my offline CFM and hope the next patch comes out before my second season.

How many minutes are your simulated games? Are all non sack related stats at par with the NFL per game average?

Ive played one game against the Texans and it seemd fine to me. Mallet ran 3 or 4 times but his receivers were completely covered and he threw the ball away at times as well.

Honest question kehlis, how is it over the top for me to be angry? The game released Aug 25, so roughly two weeks ago. We're looking at another 2 possibly 3 weeks until another patch MIGHT fix the issues.

Now my dad and my cousin purchase every year to run a CFM together. They dont get on OS so they dont know of the issues and I have to explain to them why our CFM still has yet to start.

Its frustrating when you run out to buy the game release day but its not until a month or more later maybe you can get started enjoying what you spent money on.

Now we "could" start our CFM now but if we get through multiple seasons we are going to run into problems that break our CFM forcing us to lose all our hard earned progress and restart.

So my question, why do you feel its over the top for me to be angry that this continues to happen every year? I enjoy the game but dont buy the game for "play now". I guess my point, the game not working as intended is not my fault but falls fully on the development team. It is their job to deliver a product which supports the quality people expect.
