I think you guys might be misunderstanding each other. The first tuner was applied to the patch. The 2nd tuner after the patch is a mistake, duplicate of the first one. So i'm wondering should we deleted the second one, maybe it could screw with the gameplay of the fresh patch?

I don`t think it will make any difference. If it works as the first tuner. It should be applied to the patch.

1st tuner co-existed with 1st patch without any issues, i don`t see any difference with 2nd one.

I tried it and it feels the same as post patch.

Really disappointing as I'm not a fan of the changes.

Guys.... Can anyone get the qb to even throw the ball More than 8 yds on all madden. Besides having to lower our coverage to 35? Has anyone tweeted Rex this.

I've had the CPU throw plenty of passes deeper then 8 yards on All Madden, I just got done getting shredded by the Jets in year 5 and there were quite a few 15-20 yard passes that game. The game before I had the CPU take a couple shots downfield on go routes as well. I have coverage and reaction at 70 for reference. Out of curiosity what do you have your CPU PBK slider at?
 
# 528 cable guy @ 10/11/16 01:18 AM
35. I play 99% of the time on the Dline. Seems perfect for me. And player rating based. What is the Cpu qb at for you. And if its year 2, it's generic playbooks? Which I can do, with second controller

Has anyone been having issues with default auto subs and fatigue since the patch? If anything for me its been worse getting 1-2 subs for a few positions. Even reinstalled the game and still no change. I have tested at 58 and 65 and finally got some results when raising fatigue to 75.

I've got the CPU QB at 20 and don't use generic playbooks anymore as the play calling using team specific playbooks has gotten vastly better with the patch. The generics worked well but there were a couple, ie. West Coast, that had nothing but short passes which resulted in what you were talking about with no passes past 8 yards.

I am actually probably going to delete the game and reinstall without the patch. It seems to me that the developers are doing the same thing that the previous ones did, just in the opposite direction. If they are going to continue to insist on only catering to one part of the player base instead of everybody, then they need to make franchise like NBA 2k's my league so that the players can decide their playing experience, not a bunch of whiners.

Don't get this the wrong way, not a whole lot of people play in my particular style either because I don't play completely sim, but I don't play completely arcade either, I consider myself as playing somewhere in between, but I'm getting tired of other people's complaining dictating my playing experience instead of me. That's why I don't really care what anybody says, NBA 2k's my league it's one of the best franchise modes out there, because of the amount of control it gives the player.

EA needs to accept the fact that somebody else is doing it better than them and take some notes from them, because Madden's franchise mode sorely needs it.

I agree the basketball's game is deeper in FM and Madden needs a more of a deep FM.

Gameplay wise, I'd call it a draw, but that is as far as I take that statement or else I'm further taking away from the thread.

As far as FG's goal, I must be outside the norm of other OSer's, because when the wind is against me, my kickoffs reach the 15 or 20 yd line. Also, last game I played, the CPU missed a 55 yarder wide right with plenty of distance with the wind.

I just don't have the muscle memory that others have for FG's here. I only play one game per day because my games already eat up 1hr and 15 minutes of my time.

Or not. So apparently, if you have the digital version of any game you can't re install the game without the patch. It seems as though with the digital versions of games now, the game data is automatically updated to its current version. So basically in other words, I'm now forced to play with these "fixes" that only there because they caved to whiners.

Great. If I could get my money back, I would consider it but I can't so.

Yeah. The only way is to:
1.- never install the patch. And losing all online features.
2.-buy disc version and avoid update and also lose all online feature.

Yea. It is so nice, to be stuck with a bunch of "fixes" that never should've been made. I just love being punished for buying the digital version.

Is there a way to do this on a disk but still have the most recent roster updates? I have a saved roster I would like to use but don't know how to keep the roster but delete the patch. I don't mind disabling the online features since I play off-line CFM anyways.

You keep talking about people whining... maybe you should reread your last couple of posts.

Update.

Played several user v user games in my online franchise and the game is playing good.

The patch didn't ruin anything

Good write up Charter, I'm not experiencing the things you are, but you have a lot more games in than I do.
