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!

Yeah but I found weird that the tuner has something to do with it. Personally I think it is released to the confidence being so high so fast. The first game was more realistic. Then all the sudden. Ta hills feels like Tom Brady.

All my team keep gaining confidence even when they don't do nothing especially we are 1-1 and all are with confidence really high.

With those sliders no one should be open and the QB should have pressure in his face. I'm considering giving the cpu boosts in the areas not taking things away. I'm wondering what sliders and speed thresholds people are using.

At default I'm not seeing the scramble/sack issue but, as someone who usually user rushes with a DE or OLB on passing downs, it is easier post patch. Not as bad as 15 but definitely easier. In a Play Now game Conner Barwin sacked Rivers 4 times.

Something is defiantly wrong. All the sudden my OL are getting TONS of pancakes. This never happened when playing play now. Usually I get 1 or 2. Now they have like 7 to 9. On game my LT had 7 pancakes. Default all pro. Something is really mess up. The ratings doesn't look inflated. But they feel like they are playing that way.

I get the feeling the Play Now guys are seeing similiar to you and the CFM guys are seeing the wonkiness. First guess would lead me to believe it's tied to confidence. I have no proof just a hunch.

I don't see a fix for that listed in the notes above, I played 3 years and had Matt Barkley as my QB and won back to back MVP's with him in year 2-3 and broke the single season TD record with him in year 3 and the highest rating I got him to was an 80 after year 3.

If he's putting up those kind of numbers why do you care if he's an 80 or a 99. Sounds to me like he's the best quarterback like ever at an 80 ovr.

My first game was great. After that is star to be a whole different game. Qb not missing anything. OL pancakes every defense. I think the confidence is the key here.

Why my team is all playing above their rating. Man this is a bummer. I love how the game plays on play now.

If I disagreed with the disappointments you posted earlier in this thread, I would have quoted you in disagreement, but I don't. Again, if you read not just my post but the post but the post I was responding to you might see my perspective a little more. I never once said there is no one that should not be angry about this. I simply was saying that those that were mad over the lack of what this patch fixed aren't necessarily seeing all the angles. You have every right to be angry about not being able to play since release, but I don't think it would have been realistic to expect a patch released in two weeks to fix what you needed it to fix.

I know man, I was just singling out on purpose the section about it coming off over the top to you about people being angry. My comment was a serious question of why you felt that way and me explain why I feel justified in being upset.

Nothing more nothing less man

It wasn't the best sentence of my post by any stretch, I just thought the context of my post as a whole was important, my bad if it came off wrong because I certainly didn't want to say that no one has a right to feel upset.

# 511 sabres32 @ 09/10/15 01:56 AM

Can someone please help me. What's the quickest way I can see if the patch updated on my xbox one ? It was stuck at 99% forever then I clicked on settings and it no longer said 99%, it made it seem like it was complete. I have a weird feeling it didn't work.

# 512 phillyfan23 @ 09/10/15 01:57 AM

was there a first day patch for this game? because release day madden, play now is still giving me great games.

If there was no "first day patch" I will give the tuner and/or patch a try, but if there was a first day patch, I will not take the risk in trying the new patch, then not liking it and forced to delete today's patch and first day patch as kehlis mentioned.

So question is: was there a 1st day patch for madden 16??

Just try and play MUT or something online. Cant play if you dont have the patch.

Yes there was

Wish the Pop Plays were tuned. It seems like every time I use those I'm getting sacked... I'll be interested to check out this update though.

# 515 CujoMatty @ 09/10/15 02:25 AM

Pocket passers scrambling is not a post patch issue. I played a cfm with the raiders waiting for a patch before I started with my colts franchise. Playing the broncos twice Manning scrambled far too much and I did find it annoying after watching him never scramble irl for years with the colts in his prime. In the playoffs I played the patriots in the divisional round and Brady also was running a bit much. So I'm not saying it isn't happening but I'm saying it definetly exsisted pre patch. it wasn't the hugest issue though I think Manning scrambled like 5 times in those 2 games with 15 minute quarters but it was a little alarming considering that that's probably more than his whole career irl.

I had issue with Manning running pre patch as well

# 517 Robo COP @ 09/10/15 02:49 AM

^^^ you two...did you have the issue post or pre tuner though?

So far it seems like this issue may be tuner related, or somehow confidence related...I don't really know why confidence would cause a QB to scramble (maybe a higher confidence makes him more confident he can run the ball LOL).

But on the other issue of guys seemingly being unable to miss WRs even though they are not good QBs....It is just a hunch, but I don't see how that wouldn't be a confidence issue. The more confident the QB is, he gets a ratings boost, he plays better, and I am sure there is some sort of behind the scenes algorithm that boosts players accuracy in relation to confidence as well...Confidence was the worst idea in madden ever. All it has ever done is create more problems than it has helped. Madden has been notorious in releasing a feature and then it disappearing after 2 years....well, this is one of those that they need to get rid of.

# 518 Armor and Sword @ 09/10/15 02:59 AM

Delete the tuner.....trust me.

Delete it!!!!

Been testing....night and day post patch. Something about this patch and the tuner does not jive. I noticed it right away with QB play.

I deleted the tuner and everything plays as it did before this patch.

Been streaming and it is so obvious.

makes me wish they still included the old season mode.

one season, no progression or xp ... it was the only mode i played as i've never gotten into pretend drafts & scouting and building a team based on a wonky rookie player database

You're the man A&S. Will definitely try this when I get the chance.

Out of curiosity, were you in the camp of "deep balls are OPed" prior to the tuner or no?

I would assume no since you're an offline CFM kind of guy. Seems like it was mostly user v user players that had the issue of people abusing the deep ball
