Thanks for the fatigue fix. Gesh it makes no sense, my defense gets red, my offense takes 4 to 5 mins off the clock to score, then when I get back on defense they are still all red. What they need to tune is man coverage. Why does EA do this every year? If zone is good, man is crap. If man is good, zone is crap. What ever happened to the shading that was promised pre-release?

Saw Cam take off on a 3rd and long in the first quarter of my CPU vs CPU and almost pick up the first down. It was a sideline rollout and those weren't unheard of before the patch, but it's still good to see it this quickly. No hesitation or awkward movement - he looked like he knew exactly where he was going.

Also no throwaways so far. I'm not sure if there have been situations where it would have done it pre-patch, but I do know that you could almost count on it happening at least a few times per half before.

Did you even see my post on the same page?

The CPU RB fumbled the ball and the offense recovered the ball.

Did you force the fumble with a strip or did the AI teammates force a fumble?

I don't user any buttons on offense or defense except for breakaway runners that I try to aggressive tackle, so, the answer is no, the run was up the middle.

The RB was Riddick.

At work right now but does anyone know if by stabilize formation subs it means they actually save

All too often it would only give me a single concept with a 2 or 3 very similar plays. I figured something was wrong there - it wasn't like that last year. Also, LOL @ this comment from Clint regarding NDS being removed from user vs CPU: @Nterprise_NYY @RexDEAFootball if you wanna cheese the CPU, have at it. If that's fun for you, have a blast

I actually think it's helping the CPU play calling too. I'm pretty sure that's what the CPU uses to call plays. I'm noticing more variety in their play calling.

Still early but, it's not hard to notice when you've played the CPU as much as I have testing sliders. Lol

I've already seen more non QB fumbles. I'm really happy about that.

I even had a nice user strip on a WR.

Are these changes available for preexisting franchises, or will we have to start over?

So, three people have already confirmed in the thread that the QB doesn't fumble post patch and it's not listed in the notes.

Also, a few people have reported that the QB doesn't always throw the ball OUB on a continuous bases with pressure and that wasn't listed in notes, either.

A lot of fixes under the hood.

Yes. All of the fixes that were previously applied to Cloud CFMs will apply to Offline CFM now too with this update.

For the Rams stadium issue in particular, it will only apply to new Franchise saves. There was no way to retroactively remove the Rams from their stadium if they were already in the process of moving.

# 72 Hooe @ 10/04/16 11:55 AM

Saving progress in a User vs CPU cloud Franchise game is a god send. Adjustments to how DBs defend streaks is also a welcome change. Lots of other useful fixes in here as well.

Looking forward to my league starting its second season tomorrow even more now.

# 73 bcruise @ 10/04/16 11:55 AM

Ok, there's the first throwaway, but right after that Taylor gets in on the fun.

That seemed like the right time for a throwaway to happen, unlike many of the pre-patch ones. And there's no way that one gets called for grounding IMO, with the receiver right there on the sideline.

# 74 2_headedmonster @ 10/04/16 11:58 AM

well the Wildcat Jet Sweep is still a money play...sigh

awesome!! thank you so much for clarifying that

# 76 queenie.paula @ 10/04/16 12:00 PM

did they fix how there might be non RBs in the RBs spot on run plays?

# 77 brandon27 @ 10/04/16 12:07 PM

In franchise, did they change Miami's stadium name from "New Dolphins Stadium" to "Hard Rock Stadium"... since... you know, the stadium isn't new, just renovated. I get it, the name came after release, but should be something they can add, right?

Nice looking patch list. I've got to find the time to get back to Madden, but FH3 is consuming all my time.

# 78 NFLfan80 @ 10/04/16 12:10 PM

So they fixed formation subs not saving for offline cfm?

# 79 Poke @ 10/04/16 12:28 PM

Yes!!!! Finally I can save and resume my offline Cloud CFM. This was much needed!!!

# 80 LionsFanNJ @ 10/04/16 12:36 PM

These fixes sound great, and sounds like the CPU has better scramble logic? hope thats true for most. If i can pull myself away from Destiny i'm totally going to fire this up.
