They always have, as long as you hit the options button to save before you back out.

Finally can save a game in my chise! Not sure why this wasn't in there from the beginning but I'll take it...

It's not in the patch notes, but based on small sample sizes in the thread, they have been fixed.

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.

Kicking meter isn't moving slower. It looks like the accuracy area is a little bigger. It's still based on the kickers accuracy rating. Mean the white accuracy area isn't the same for all kickers.

IIRC only the Chargers and Saints were observing it this weekend, with every other team starting in week 5. I don't know why...

Can someone please check if the Dolphins stadium name got updated to Hard Rock Stadium? I won't be back from work until tonight and that's the only thing other than nerfed draft classes I was hoping for from the patch lol

I think for pocket passers, you will see the same results you did.

Playing vs Stafford, I didn't see him take off and start running, but I did see him try to elude a few sacks and step outside the pocket.

Unless you are playing with or against Mariota, then those fumbles could be explained.

I agree if a qb goes into throwing motion a half second before he is hit it should be a fumble. Should be for the cpu also but they have been able to get the throw off and fifty yards downfield. There should be a secure ball button when you are about to be hit.

If i have to guess QB scramble logic will not be fix it in a patch. is really hard to do. It happened in the past and they did`t fix it in a patch because they explained that the QB behaviour is very difficult and could break other stuff. I go the same with the throw the ball away.

Beside, if they fix it i`m certain they would place it in the patch details. I know rex said not all fixed were on the details, just overviews, but this is not a detail, this is a HUGE important thing to left out from the detail if they fixed it.

Played two online games where fumbles decided the outcome of the game. First game user kept using strip button got literally every fumble. Second game I'm driving down the field and get hit and fumble the ball. Guess what we needed was more fumbles right?

There is, there is a protect ball command on the Xbox1 by holding RB.

There is LT+RT+X (L2+R2+Square) it's called "give up yourself" or "get down" I think

In CFM certain sets just don't save for me, maybe they are talking about the same thing? In both my Patriots CFM's I've done I've had three Nickel sets, a Shotgun set, and my FG block sets not save. Everything else does, the patch didn't fix them either, just checked.

I agree with part of this, but to me, the QB fumbles were ruining the game for me in my franchise.

That fix wasn't in the notes and to me, that was a big fix.

Just don't tell my wife. Telling her I can't save it has gotten me many extra hours of game time. An awesome feature for us that can't guarantee to have that hour when we crank it up.

That is not true. They save on most, but not all.

My last game before the patch with the tuner, the AI QB had 3 fumbles and I returned one for a fumble for a TD and recovered the other two

Rodgers had 2 QB fumbles and one was recovered by the defense.

There was an additional tuner today after the patch downloaded and I don't know what the heck that was for.

Also, QB's don't tend to throw the ball OUB's as much when they are pressured prior to the patch.
