I don't see how Qb's not fumbling could be confirmed as nobody has played more than a game.

Why are they making kicking easier? It's as easy as it's ever been.

I really don't agree with this move either. I really like the new kick meter, but it sure seems like kicking was right on par when M17 released.

I'm taking into account long time respected posters of Charter, BCruise and myself as having all played at least one game combined to = at 3 games.

It's still a small sample size, but I like to look for patterns.

I played out the game and there were no QB fumbles on either side, no rambo QB's and no come back AI that I noticed.

Rodgers ended up with 58%passing, Stafford 52% passing. Lions had 4 sacks, Packers had 2 sacks.

Stafford had some pressure and threw the ball OUB twice towards WR's in the area and threw 2 off the mark to WR's.

I missed a 55 yarder at Lambeau.

You do not need to restart your franchise.

That save/resume feature for cloud cfm is huge for the single man cfm. Time to start this franchise over

This is killing me. Field goals and XP are not automatic in the NFL, it was fine at launch and now they have nerfed it.

What makes it worse is the FGA slider is broken. If you adjust it below 30, everything is a shank.

So now we have another year of automatic field goals. This is ridiculous.

# 129 FerNuff @ 10/04/16 03:35 PM

I like that they nerfed draft classes. Is this going to be available for offline CFM?

Thanks Roadman. Were you playing default all-pro? I'll typically test a patch by playing default all-pro in an effort to identify what is playing well for me and what is not. I truly hope default all-pro plays great for me post patch so I can just play and not get bogged down in sliders!

Does it seem like the kick meter is moving slower though? I'm referring to the game i played last night, i'm at work and haven't DL'd the patch yet.

Wasn't something done to kicking in the tuner last week?

Also, my Franchise is solo online, aren't some of the changes taken care of server side even though they're also addressed in the patch?

It could very well be, just being used to the meter now too.

Oh I thought this was just me, I have three nickel sets and a shotgun set that won't save in my Patriots CFM. Drives me crazy because some of them don't have Collins/Hightower on the field, and the Shotgun set has Blount lined up at WR.

Actually i was hoping to read your comments, Since you and I agreed that the tuner was a step backwards on the tackling and other aspect. For the moment i`m going offline.

# 136 NFLfan80 @ 10/04/16 03:47 PM

Formation subs save now?

Me too. Last night, I think i felt his pain playing my franchise game. I'm 0-8 so it could have been frustration, but i was starting to get po'd on the tackling.

Yes, with a tweak or two to QB ACC and I'm not nerfing that slider by no means.

Yeah, I'm testing on all pro offline CFM and the meter seems to be moving slow compared to AM.

Not slower than normal pre vs post patch, though.

I thought I nailed the kick, but it was short and a bit wide right.

# 140 phantomshark @ 10/04/16 03:52 PM

Was really hoping they would change the ridiculous amount of QB fumbles. Averaging 4-5 QB fumbles per game (total for both teams) which is ludicrous.
