So the CPU punters do just fine in dome games, low/no windngames, or times where the wind is at their BACK. But once they have to punt into the face of any kind of wind they chooose to do this low line drive punt that only goes for like 15-25 yards. It looks ridiculous and leaves my team around the 50 yard line or closer every single time. It makes scoring against the CPU way too easy. My twitter handle is @MrKevinPerry I have several videos of the issue up there to see. Only thing I can think of is hope they fix it through a tuner and in the mean time super sim all of those situations. It's not just punts, they do it when facing the wind during kickoffs too. It's lame I have to super sim so much now. I think everyone has the glitch, but if you're doing a CFM as New Orleans or Dallas or something you would hardly notice. I play as the Pats, I noticed immediately.

Still, in Carolina I would expect then that I would have seen it as I saw punts in both directions. Kick offs all went to the five, goal line, or five yards deep. Perhaps there is a threshold wind speed that sets this off, and is a ridiculously number but a wind speed below this you don't get it as often? I really saw it once in my first game and can count the shank as the other time, but nothing in between. Still you're correct that tuning this more appropriately to reduce the effect even at high winds is critical if you're seeing it all the time. I'm making up numbers here but I could envision no effect unless the wind is > 10 mph, then that leads to up to a 5 yard difference depending on kicker power, 20 mph knocks them down 10 yards, 30 mph 15 yds, etc. Something along those lines may be more realistic. If you punt normally 45 yards on average, the rare times you kick into a 30 mph wind you might expect kicks between 30 and 35 yards (again, take the kickers power into account?). Just a thought.

Will see what I learn tonight if I can see the actual wind speed in the game. It still seems strange that you're seeing it 100% but I'm seeing it 1 of 4 or 1 of 5 kicks if you're seeing it in any wind condition.

All madden is definitely even easier after patch. Which is great for me actually. The main problem I have, is the cpu qb. It is such a very fine line to get them to throw the ball downfield, not to throw it away for no apparent reason. THEN holding it too long. Sometimes stand there holding the ball Forever and get sacked. Which its almost like you have to raise cpu pass blk, so the qb falls asleep back there. It was an issue before the patch as well.

My impression is that the game plays better after the patch. The pass drops were driving me crazy and the game just wasn't fun offensively. There was always four cpu players warping/swarming the ball, barely time to look for receivers on a pass play, and few if any broken tackles. Plays smoother like 16 but with the better d schemes. CPU AI is better, throwing the ball better, and running better.

All pro. People saying previously that they thought All Madden was too easy...more power to them because I wasn't seeing it, and was getting mauled on All Pro.

Rex just tweeted that post patch carries are within .5yrds of actual NFL averages.

Getting crushed on all pro as well. Love it.

It seems like more all-pro players are very happy with patch so far. More so than all madden players?

I'm generally pretty easy to please, but i really liked the way the game played last night.

I restarted my solo online cfm over on Tuesday after installing, played my Chiefs vs. San Diego last night. I really thought the game felt to have more of an NFL feel to it.

I loved the way the D was playing on both sides of the ball. Thought the game looked, felt and played great all the way around.

Hopefully some of you aren't to busy bickering over something to realize the potential of the game.

Did they do something with in game presentation as far as stats are concerned? Seems like the ticker was behaving a bit differently that i remember, however maybe i don't usually pay that much attention.

In game online cfm saves work!

New tackle animations? maybe due to playing more aggressive?

I think my last game played was Monday night, I would have said at that time that the game was playing stiff, and the kick meter was slow, my game last night erased any issue i had with that.

Lost my game 13-6. with 1:22 left in the game, i forced the Chargers to punt, drove the length of the field, with 12 secs, threw my only pic of the game in the end zone.

11 min quarters game, i sacked rivers 6 times, was sacked 4 times. rivers fumbled once. had mucho pressure on him on multiple occasions where he threw the ball away. To many sacks?

� sacks, was this a missing element? it's in there, and they're being displayed, maybe i never noticed before.

This game, especially held my attention span, more so than other games i've played, maybe just a frame of mind.

I got a Service Storm alert prompt at startup, indicating that they will do their best to keep services up and running during hurricane matthew.

I couldn't get my running game going which was nothing new, the cpu couldn't run either. Will be making a slider adjustment for the next game.

I keep longing for longer games, I'll be bumping up to 13 min quarters, and maybe 15 min quarters going forward. The game save feature is a huge enhancement!

I was beaten handily in TOP, which i love to see.

Last night anyhow, after 1 game, i thought the game was enhanced, dare i say big time. Hopefully by sunday i'll be 4 or so games deep, hopefully my experience carries on.

I honestly think the AI offense plays better on All-Pro after the patch. They were having trouble moving the ball on me on All-Madden. I upped the AI run block slider on All-Pro and honestly the offense plays like it should on All-Madden.

Just need to crank down the human offense sliders and ramp up the AI defense sliders to make it more difficult for the Human to score.

I'll test out some all-madden again tonight but the Broncos put up 38 points on me last night on All Pro against the Bears. Before the Patch the AI offense on All-Pro wouldn't keep the foot on the gas so I always played All-Madden.

Need a larger sample size, but in 5 games, the AI offense if you crank up the run block slider on All-Pro seemed more effective than All-Madden at default.

I only played one game after patch, so need more time in lab. My first impression was good though, and the overall feel was clearly different post patch.

# 431 RogerDodger @ 10/06/16 12:39 PM

Reading through the comments, tempted to say that most people want the game to be different to the next person - whether that's down to preference, ability or whatever else. Not sure EA will be able to keep everyone happy.

# 432 dpower15 @ 10/06/16 12:40 PM

Can someone please let me know if the Dolphins stadium was renamed to Hard Rock Stadium? I'm in FL gearing up for this hurricane so haven't gotten to play since the patch dropped.

Thanks in advance!

Exactly, that's why I switched to All Madden this year. Because on all-pro they cpu, seemed to not even try on offense. My last play literally was Cincy, running a draw on like 3rd and 9, while being down 17-3, in the 3rd. They got 5 yds. In my cfm. I actually turned it off. Went to charter's sliders on all madden. Played just about the game of football ever.

No doubt. I'm not a pure sim guy by any means. I want some big plays once in a while, runs after catches with some nifty moves and SOME open field fun in the game. Touch passes in 17, imo for example, were not working well, and LB's had been rediculous. I was always seeing lb's in deep coverage. New D-schemes for 17 and other details, fantastic, but for me this patch seems to give the player a chance to find the holes, and receivers actually hold onto the ball after you've worked so hard to get that ball in there.

I'm not sure if it makes a difference, but the game was tested on all pro with 6 to 9 minute quarters.

These were just play now games. I am just trying to get a good set so I can pick up and play with any team. Once the final patch drops I'll decide if I want to dedicate the time to a CFM.

# 438 Alfie @ 10/06/16 02:22 PM

Haven't had a chance to play the game post-patch so a quick question to the guys who have played with the new patch.... are you guys seeing any difference with play action? Before the patch I didn't really see any real advantage of PA as most of the time I would get sacked and I never saw defense really bite into the PA no matter how often I ran the ball. Has the PA improved post patch and is there a real advantage of using the same if you are running the ball often?

Yes, indeed. Seems like mainly competitive on-line, user vs user, and Cfm off-line. But yeah, either way EA has their hands full trying to make everyone happy. Overall madden is in a good place and making strides. Between D81SKINS default(or close to) all pro and scheme matching of 16 and this year charters all madden sliders, this has been an incredible game the last 2 years. The best actually. I've played since the original Madden on Sega btw

My hope is that over the next few years is that they can get to a place where with sliders and other adjustments each type of participant can enjoy the game the way they want. There are alot of moving parts to make it happen, but clearly they should be able to get the computer to perform in a manner consistent with NFL stats, stronger or weaker, to allow user v computer players to get the experience they want; user sliders/adjustments to make each aspect of the game easier or more difficult; ways for online competitive players to keep or disable some of the things that help or hinder their play and enjoyment. One way they could improve is more text around the sliders and what they do, which way to move to get effect and define which sliders are thresholded or provide graded responses. I'm not saying everyone will be satisfied but I think maybe some more transparency it may help people make those adjustments to get the game they want. I don't think it needs to be 3 games in 1, but one game that can work for everyone and not at the expense of certain players. Maybe someday.
