Madden NFL 16 News Post


Madden NFL 16 title update #2 is available now for both Xbox One and PlayStation 4. It includes improvements and fixes to gameplay, Connected Franchise, Madden Ultimate Team, and more. Check out the details below.

GAMEPLAY
  • Addressed issue where if a team called a time out on the safety punt, they would then be able to kick a regular kickoff
  • Addressed issue where sometimes a defender would have a poor pursuit angle toward the ball carrier if the ball carrier was breaking a tackle during a catch
  • Addressed issue where sometimes defensive linemen would freeze for the remainder of the play after being knocked to the ground
  • Addressed issue where the defense would not adjust alignment if the CPU controlled offensive team enacted a concept audible
  • Updated Individual Coverage adjustments to not only affect the pre-snap shading but also the post play leverage technique
  • Addressed issue where adjusting the ZONE shading would have an effect on the defenders drop location instead of just the leverage technique
  • Addressed issue where cancelling a PA Fake would allow for a 1-step drop on certain plays
  • Addressed issue where the game clock would be restarted of a declined penalty after an incomplete pass
  • Addressed issue where safeties in Cover 4 Deep assignments were reacting to run too quickly
CONNECTED FRANCHISE
  • Addressed issue where defensive holding slider would reset when exiting the screen
  • Addressed issue where accelerated clock would not work in H2H CFM games
  • Addressed issue where visual feedback settings were pulling from the user’s profile instead of league settings
  • Addressed issue where some settings would carry back to the FE after playing a CFM game
  • Addressed issue where the CPU would retain an empty roster spot when simming to the regular season when there is a player on Injured Reserve (note: changes aren’t reflected until after your current season is finished)
  • Addressed issue where the user could not sort player while in the Fantasy draft board
  • Removed Kick Return as a scoutable trait (note: changes won’t be reflected until after your current season is finished)
  • CFM Trade tuning
  • Addressed issue in CFM H2H where uniforms would change back to default home/away even after changing them in the team select screen
  • Addressed a rare issue that caused some Franchise files to be corrupted, preventing players from accessing their CFM (note: this won’t repair already corrupted files, and only prevents future occurrences)
MADDEN ULTIMATE TEAM
  • MUT Play a Friend quarter length boosted to four minutes from two minutes
  • In MUT H2H Seasons and Draft Champions H2H Draft, terminating the game during the load screen will give the quitter a loss and the opponent a win. In MUT, Contracts will still be removed.
OTHER
  • Play Now games were using regular season overtime rules rather than playoff overtime rules (removed possibility for ties)
  • Addressed issue in online games where the defensive timer would run out during a pause causing the game to auto pick the defensive play
  • Addressed over 100 general bug and stability issues

I think the confidence is pretty right on. If you are winning and playing well you are going to be more confident which lends to more winning and playing well. That is true in every aspect of life as well.

That's the point. The problem is that is not balance and how it is applied.

I won't go into details. This was already discuss plenty already. There is a thread about it as well.

So, you reinstalled with both the patches and no tuner?

How exactly do I go about deleting everything and only installing 1 patch? Thanks for your help!

I did the exact same thing, and the game's played great for me.

Currently dealing with a bug within CFM where injured players don't ever get healthy. Bortles got injured in Week 12 of my last season and was out 26 weeks and I've simmed ahead to the start of the next season and he's still at 26 weeks. Simming through the next season to see what happens now.

I really hope that is the case. Because since the patch, I've played 3 full games on default all-pro and never overthrown except long passes. Most of them were deflections or ints. I'm going to play a game without the tuner.

This is what I'm seeing as well. At first I thought it was coincidence. But more and more I start to think the the tuner had something to do with it. I'm seeing less erratic passes from my qb.

Also since I'm playing more cfm I'm not sure if it is because the tuner or the confidence thing start to kicking in.

One thing I'm sure. My actual games doesn't play anything close to what I have been playing when I first played the game on release.

Tuner, confidence or whatever is causing this.

I'm going to uninstall the tuner and give it a go for a few games and see if things get were they were.

I'm not sure i really like how xbox1 does their file management. is anyone aware of a way that i can retain my custom play books if i delete the game entirely?

i do have an external HD, but I've just never really seen the option to open up game files and grab things individually.

Don't know what's causing this but I've simmed through 2016 and '17 and he has somehow moved onto the Lions and is still at 26 weeks and shows no signs of ever getting healthy. This mode, man.

Just curious, maybe that could be it, because the concensus has generally been to re-start any franchise started pre-patch.
Yeah it is but they weren't getting healthy prior to the patch dropping either. The Seahawks also had Cliff Avril with a Low Back Strain that put him out for 45 weeks and he wasn't moving either but he ended up retiring at the end of the season.

Maybe it was a career ending injury?
This happens with all players out for the season? How often this happens?

I have the same issue with a WR. Still on my team as I can't cut him (1 yr left) but stuck on the injury report with 0 weeks left. Crazy.

This always happened? Or it started after the patch.
