Madden NFL 17 title update 11 is available now, check out the patch notes below and let us know what you are seeing.

Gameplay
  • Fixed a bug where the offensive tackle would play a blocking animation without engaging with a defensive player
  • Addressed a bug that caused the gameplay speed inside of Gauntlet, Skills Trainer, and Franchise Game Planning Drills to be extremely slow
Madden Ultimate Team
  • Addressed a bug where a user’s profile settings weren’t being honored in Play-a-Friend games
  • For online MUT and Draft Champions games, the 3-letter team name shown in the score hud will now represent the first 3 letters of your team name just as it does in Solo Challenges
To update this, you can enter Madden Ultimate Team, go to the “Team” tab and choose the Rename Team tile

Stability
  • Addressed the issue where declining a Live Commentary Update (LCU) and powering on from rest mode could cause significant lag in the menus and in-game

Well glad they fixed that o-line animation. By far the silliest and most frustrating way to lose a game.

Agree, and they fixed it pretty quickly.

Would be curious to hear if anything was or will be done to address the press coverages seemingly not working on fly routes.

Until they fix zone coverages still allowing drag route after drag route the game is broken

Doesn't look promising. One of the bigger issues left IMO.

Is the DB animation glitch on comebacks and out routes still there?

The 1.10 title update from last month was the last game play title update for 17 according to Rex.

The interwebs most over-rated phrases of broken and epic failure are still out there and being used.

I never encountered the LT battling ghost glitch, but I'm glad it's been fixed for others that have encountered it.

Edit- Also, auto flip has been fixed.

I haven't even Dl'd the last patch, it's been that long since i've played Madden......

Oddly enough, I'm in the middle of a season that I'd absolutely love to continue playing in M18 opposed to starting over. **hint **hint

You should download it, plays like a different game to be honest.

It isn't noted, but I hope invisible players has been fixed. Nothing baffles me more than having a ball carrier in open pastures getting absolutely reamed by saftey or line backer that isn't visible...

I agree that should be fixed, but I haven't heard of it or seen it on my end.

I hoped they fixed the issue with players randomly walking right through (players clipping) the QB when breaking the huddle. It's such an immersion killer & eyesore. Also, I hope the physics were cleaned up to where players body parts are constantly clipping together when getting up from a tackle or pile up. These are major eyesores!

Has anyone played since the patch? How is it playing?
Just got my sliders nailed down Sunday.

This patch only showed up as 84 MB for me on PS4. I had heard it was 7 GB or whatever?
 
# 16 bcruise @ 03/15/17 04:08 PM
Just from some reps in practice mode, QB accuracy appears to be untouched since the last patch. I can still miss an occasional non-lead short pass at user accuracy 30 with a 90+ SAC QB, and that's good enough for me.

I don't have time to actually play a full game right now. Others will get to those impressions before I do.

Training slowdown is indeed fixed (as well as the Skills Trainer/Gauntlet which suffered the same issue)

Honestly Madden is in a very good place right now...I'm having a blast before and after the latest patch.........

My last game went in OT with the final score 16-13 I lost but it felt great!!!!!!
 
# 18 edgevoice @ 03/15/17 06:27 PM
Thanks for posting. Great that ghost block is fixed. We can only hope that this fix doesn't "un-fix" the blocking improvements that the previous patch did.

OK, folks can take it or leave it, but I play so much Madden that I tend to notice things pretty quickly.

Positive: CPU punting ability is now better. I had been seeing lots of shanked punts, really short punts, and punts that got boomed out of the end zone instead of dropped in more accurately. The result was easily 50 YDS in field position for me over the course of a game. In two CFM games post-patch, the CPU punters seem much more intelligent and much better able to play the field position battle.

Positive: HUM and CPU completion percentages were in the 50s for the first time in a very, very long time in my CLE vs. TEN game. Kessler missed several throws (53%, 5.1 YPA) and Mariota missed several too (58%, 4.8 YPA). Mariota appeared to be confused by several blitzes and either a) checked down early for a loss or short gain, or b) misfired due to confusion and pressure.

I'm extremely happy about the punting. The bad special teams play had been generating too many CFM wins for me by creating short field scoring opportunities where they never should have existed.

I'm a happy camper.

Here's that O-Line glitch for those who hadn't seen it or want to relive last week's nightmares :-)
