Will be coming soon. They started last year using a continuous development model. Time of year no longer dictates when things get released.

Please give us a CFM companion app EA! Online league just aren't as fun without Daddyleagues integration.

Not sure I agree with changing kicking accuracy.

So far, I've played a half of football and no QB fumbles, I've even seen a RB fumble.

Twice, I've tried the throw the ball with Rodgers in the grasp and they have been both incomplete passes.

Hope this trend continues.

Another note, I haven't seen the CPU AI throw the ball OUB, yet. Stafford sensed pressure, but throw the ball too low to a diving WR. Yes!!!!

# 45 Tonic @ 10/04/16 11:58 AM

Can anyone confirm if the nerfed draft classes are now applied to offline franchises? Thanks!

# 46 BleedGreen710 @ 10/04/16 11:59 AM

I'm so excited this is finally here! can finally begin my franchise! hoping this patch contains the nerfed draft classes which were released for online CFMs in the tuner a while back.

anyway, just a few concerns:

-I already thought kicking was too easy. now its probably going to be completely automatic

- they made it so draft picks have varying penalty traits but as far as I know the bug where all 70+ OVR QBs coming from the draft have 'ideal' sense pressure trait (which leads to way too low sack totals down the line in franchise mode) still remains. certainly the latter is more of a big deal - yet remained untouched.

As a software developer I'm a bit skeptical of EA's continuous development model that hasn't cut a release in 4 years on an application.

# 48 BleedGreen710 @ 10/04/16 12:07 PM

also dont see anything on there that says they've fixed the issue where the CPU does not update their position of need as they draft players. I hate seeing the CPU take a QB round 1 and 2 for example. happens almost every draft. really sad that didn't make the cut for this update.

# 49 marcus flemming @ 10/04/16 12:10 PM

Still nothing for the obvious intention grounding that isn't called?

Does this update apply to offline CFM?

Also, did they fix the glitch where auto subs were not saved in offline CFM?

Yeah I get that, thats why I said 'as far as I know' and listed it as a concern and not a complaint. Im hopeful they have fixed it (along with some other things they didnt mention), we should know soon.

# 52 gman2774 @ 10/04/16 12:22 PM

Do auto subs inside CFM still default to 50/49 vs the main menu of 60/80? Have they ever acknowledged if this is a glitch or that way by design?

I was saying that off the notes and don't you think they would have that listed if it was fixed?

One is not related to the other, so you are kind of moving the mark here. You said based on the time of the year you didn't think it would be added this year. I told you that based on their continuous development strategy time of year doesn't matter. Because it wasn't added in the past wasn't because of said model but rather because it wasn't in their plans for those years. It is in the plan this year, and will be released soon.

Nerf the kicking game even more. This is stupid, especially considering the field goal accuracy slider is broken.

They didn't address the AI not being able to judge the wind and punt accordingly.

They didn't address the lack of RB and WR fumbles.

They basically only cater to the online whiner crowd that wants to catch every pass and make every field goal.

Hundreds of fixes, most aren't listed.

There's more fixes than just the ones listed, or are you saying this from the games you've already played since the patch?

# 58 sportsfan1976 @ 10/04/16 12:30 PM

They need to something with the head to head pause it takes to long then the person unpasue the game then pause the game.I played online the person I played used all 5 pause in the first half and the second half the game took way to long.

Good call. I'm in the minority, but with my run block slider up to 55, and cpu tackling down to 40, i struggle to run the ball with a lot of consistency. albeit, i'm 0-8 in my franchise so i've been spending a bunch of time playing catchup, opposed to running my O as i'd wish.

I'm also curious if they've applied the option for the Rams to not relocated to that boring generic stadium. the tuner we got about a month ago doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere in this, which has me concerned. I was mostly waiting for those changes.
