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!

It would be nice if a Dev could tell us what they did to fix the problem as it appears they simply removed it from the UI but did not correct the issue.

I think they are going to say we are seeing / imagining the problems...

This is what I can't stand about CFM. There's no transparency whatsoever within it and it's issues. Gameplay seems very honest and upfront with the "we know this is wrong" type stuff but it seems like with CFM everything always "works" or is fine which is part of what is so unbelievably frustrating about the things they implement and how it gets implemented.

Perceived issues?! If they are simply perceived please feel free to explain exactly what was done to correct the issue so we know we're just being crazy and the game is working again (which apparently it is not).

I was just about to post this. That is me. I normally don't do twitter, but I guess people respond to that better? In any case, I 2ant you guys' voice as well as mine to be heard. I also want to convey that we aren't bashing their attempt at making the game better, just that while it may have briefed well to the bosses, the follow through was less than stellar. Here's hoping.

# 748 BlackBetty15 @ 09/10/15 06:05 PM

I think roadman or bkrich and even CM WILL probably have to make a video entirely pointing out what we are talking about as Clint and/or Rex seem to be in the dark about this being a real issue.

" Perceived ".. Dont tell me they are going to treat this like the sack issue last year and say they dont see a problem...

# 750 roadman @ 09/10/15 06:08 PM

Before anyone takes Clint's "perceived answer" out of context, I understand what he is saying.

Like Charter stated earlier in the thread, we need video evidence to present to them like Armour & Sword did this morning. They are looking into it.

They just need to take the perceived issues and test them out on their end before confirming they are issues.

All we should need is a bunch of screenshots of way too many players with 99 confidence. I feel like I'm almost beyond that though. Like, I'd rather have no confidence than tuned confidence.

So we need to invest time and energy to provide video proof? Again is this not there full time job? I'm rather lost with all of this and what to even think.

# 754 Mattanite @ 09/10/15 06:19 PM

Hi Guys,

If any of you are experiencing the poor CPU QB awareness progression that I mentioned earlier in this post, I think I have found out the reason and a workaround. I can't find the page my original quote was on sorry.

That should not be hard to get. But then again they may only tweak the UI lol.

Give me 2 or more games I already have 4 players with 99 and I only played 3 games.

The patch may not have caused the problem. Since EA told us not to bother with CFM until the patch dropped, there was no body of evidence for that particular mode.

In other words CFM May have been bugged all along we just didn't notice because we weren't playing it. (until the patch which then is getting the blame)

It's the day and age of video proof and social media.

An analogy from the old High Heat baseball days, best sim baseball game for that time period, but the buggiest baseball game for that time period.

Let's say Madden sell 5 million copies, that's 10 million eyes glued to the screen vs the hundreds sets of eyes that work in QA. I'm speculating at the numbers, obviously.

Kolbe said during the access time there is more people playing and testing during that period than they are able to test the whole year.

I'll get in on it as well. I've got all my numbers saved from the Play Now games I've played for slider purposes so perhaps some data will help as well. I'll start one up tomorrow and see what I can get.

Confidence should just be taken out completely next year and disabled this year with a patch. Just seems like they arent able to balance it. If they just tweaked it to only give small boosts and not turn middle road players into All Pros it would help.

Agree man. I would be so happy if they can just disable it. But I don't think they will do that.
