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!

You originally deleted and reinstalled the tuner right? Kind of felt the same way playing cfm last night. Just worried about funky qb play.

Hmmm, I may try a test too. It seemed like everyone that tested said that the gameplay was more like Play Now (good) with the tuner off.

I played earlier in CFM with it on and it played fine, just like Play Now. It's confidence that throws everything out of whack it seems like to me. Two games into the season and 95% of my players are receiving ratings boosts.

I went ahead and asked Rex and Kolbe to review this thread via Twitter. I am sure they are aware of it but not sure they've seen our latest findings since this thread has moved so rapidly.

This is my experience as well. Also some people who were reporting too many sacks had some slider settings that in my opinion my create some of those issues.

Hey i will just post here because i know many are not following all threads but if you don�t like the "idea" of "controlling" the 32 teams, what you can do, if you only want to disable drive goals is when you play the game, just before you are going to play the game, assign a owner/coach to the team you are going to play against. Then when you end the game before advancing week you just retired from that team. repeat for every game.

All the management and the league features will stay the same. Just another option if you are not willing to do the 32 teams "control".

Yes i�m not sold yet with the tuner or without it. What i can really tell is the confidence being the reason why CFM doesn�t play like play now. But with this workaround it plays as awesome as play now. Overthrows, OL not pancaking DL like DB, very dyanmic.

I hate drive goals now

they were so close to ruin an awesome game.

Oh nice idea. Cpu doesn't have drive goals or anything in the simmed games right? This could also allow the regular trade engine to work during the draft.

Combing through a test sim and things actually don't look too bad to me. I'm glad they seemed to fix QB depth charts to avoid K and P taking snaps under center.

Simulated Stat Issues
WAY too few 20+ runs for simmed teams throughout the league still. I've covered this in my slider thread (post 2). There are not enough longer runs in general as we should be seeing guys break off some huge runs. AP had 27 20+ runs a few seasons ago...most I've seen from a RB in these tests is 3 with a long of like 29 yards all season long!

Sacks seem a bit high, although the bigger issue seems to be the AI never benching OL who give up an average of 2 sacks per game! Defensive team total sacks are high across the board.

There are too many fumbles in simulated games.

Kickoff stats recorded for kickers only and never punters.

Injuries are too infrequent in simmed games. How are there multiple teams with 0 injuries after Week 17?!?!

Played Game Issues

Catches Allowed is still not tracked in played games.

Played games don't see enough injury variety when it comes to positions. Never seems your OL get hurt, do they?

Auto subs still not working in CFM.

Yes. That's why I'm sharing it. Some people prefer to do this.

CPU doesn't have drive goals. They do increase and decrese confidence same as the player now.

Saves time from setting up 32 coaches/owners. When your video game time is as precious as mine is every minute matters lol.

This sounds great to me. Thanks! I'll be rolling this way, can't wait!

Brilliant!

its interesting how much confidence really hurts the CFM playing experience. I honestly question if it also is what makes re-signing players so frustrating. it wouldn't surprise me if ratings factor in there with confidence, and this is why they will only accept what appears to be outlandish offers(mostly)

kudos to those finding a solution w/ 32 team control, but it sure would be nice for an "on/off" for confidence

I can't ask you to trust me but trust many users on this forum. Confidence have a huge impact on gameplay. Even when it says it just 2 or 3 overall. It plays a lot more

On/off would be awesome.

Has anyone out together a specific detailed post we can link them to? Just wondering how many pages will come up by the time they get a chance to pop in here and check things out.

# 998 booker21 @ 09/11/15 06:12 PM
