Game is still playing great for me. Not sure what people are complaining about?

Im seeing 2-3 guys wide open almost every play and horrible defense all around.

I'm seeing the complete opposite. I'm seeing tighter coverage and corners actually attempting to swat away the pass more often than before the tuner.

Here is my experience with this tuning update:

Playing: Online cfm, All-Pro, default sliders

Record before tuning update: 7-0, balanced attack. Usually had a 100yd rusher.

Record after tuning update: 3-3, passing game is working, running game is non existent. Defense is generally worse - lack of turnovers. Of the three losses two were in OT and the other by 3 in regulation.

To elaborate, in the running game the outside run is not as effective as before the update. Specifically I'm seeing the computer safeties react quicker and LBs are shedding blocks easier. Outside runs were overpowered before so change is welcome but I'm not adjusting well.

On defense QB completion% has gone way up. I'm not seeing dropped passes even when I smack the WR immediately with a hard hit. Makes third downs of all lengths hard to stop. Nothing is more frustrating than giving up a 3rd and 20. It's happening with much more frequency post-update.

I don't mind the changes and updating my playing style to compensate is part of the fun, but the CPU passing feels a little out of my control to compensate for. How do you defend guys who never drop passes?

Must be on rookie or pro cause it's not like that on All Pro or All Madden at all in games I've played.

This is an opinion without arguments, that some like it an some not, is not a great information on debate about why like or not. IMHO.

And if you had the courtesy to read the entire tread, maybe you'll understand what people are complaining about.

This is why is key that the game get drops right. Otherwise zone coverage are not as effective as they should.

Friend that you do not see issues, doesn't mean that there are not issues, there are no gods among us that believe had the truth in his pocket tho? if you do not mind, is still possible and legitimized by anyone that have arguments to talk about issues or simply give a negative opinion.

Yeah, whenever that next patch drops it's supposed to bring those adjustments to offline CFM. If you have an online one, this is already there.

Still need to see the pocket collapse better, but I'm guessing that's not a reality this year.

Agree. Hopefully the focus on this in the next version. In real life QB have to move in the pocket more often than the game replicate. DL should push more. Someone's one DT push one side forcing the QB to move around. Anyways the pocket still need a lot of work but is still way better than it was years ago.

Is it possible that the Tuners only work in Online Franchise?
 
# 359 booker21 @ 10/01/16 11:51 PM
No. I played Offline and play now and i can see the changes.
