Re: Madden NFL 15 Pre-Week 1 Roster Update Available Now with Tuning Update

This game has had the same issues for years. Each year it gets a visual upgrade, the online community is happy, but the simulation human vs com play is awful. The fact that someone has to spend time "adjusting sliders" for days just to get a halfway decent game from the CPU is ridiculous. Even more ridiculous is the fact sliders never work properly or have little influence. Wouldn't it make things easier if the sliders actually worked and had an effect? Then we could all customize a challenge for ourselves.

I'm having some GREAT games with my fantasy drafted Patriots. I'm currently 4-3 and I've never had more than 4 sacks per game TOTAL for both teams. Using Armor's sliders and QB edit rosters.

The tuner today didn't really do much that I've noticed.

EA CFm really F'''k up the depth charts. Chicago's LOLB Jones you can't even put on the depth chart in CFM he doesn't show up as a option even though he is a LB

I ran in to an issue with him too. I started my CFM and he had an Achilles injury and was shown as out for 0 weeks, and every week that went by, it never changed. Then I finished the pre-season and he was still injured for 0 weeks and it wouldn't let me put him on the depth chart. I went to the injury report and it wouldn't let me place him on IR either, it just showed him out for 0 weeks with an Achilles injury

I'm getting just as many sacks as before, I wonder if I have to start a new Franchise for the tuner to work.

Nope. I just started a CFM.first game az vs charges. I sack the CPU 6 times. This tuner didn't fix the issue with sacks. Period.

For those using the qb edits. The idea with this tuner is to avoid having to use a workaround like that. So don't post results if you are still using qb edits.

Hopefully EA patch the game. Sacks are annoying. And i m suppouse to get happy when they happens but I'm saying out loud. Please don't sack the qb please don't sack the qb. Damn it!

You get the point

I'm not a fan of the changes to the user block shed success. It worked fine before. The issue isn't the CPUs time in the pocket. It's how the CPU behaves in the pocket.

This tuner did not help the game, IMO.

Online games have bee negatively affected by the tuner, IMO. Pressure isn't as consistent and outside runs are being spammed again now that the blocks aren't being she'd as they should be.

Disappointed

AP default. 3 sacks in a row. Penalties at default. I'm done with the tuner. Waiting for the real patch. I can't stand the qb play right now. Curls vs zone is a automatic sack.

6 sacks in my first post-tuner game, 3 by the guy I was controlling. Linemen seemed harder to get around, pre-tuner I was getting double digit sacks and 5 or 6 with the guy I was controlling. Have pass blocking at 70 right now, probably gonna bump it up to 80 and see how that works.

I like that the running game got easier :-)

The issue isn't the CPUs time in the pocket. It's how the CPU behaves in the pocket.

This is EXACTLY right. When the QB is getting pressure he should throw it with much less accuracy resulting in a lower completion percentage. This does two things. First it lowers the sack totals because, well, the quarterback got rid of the ball. Secondly, it lowers the CPU QB's passing percentage, which is also a positive.

I really don't like how they just simply gave the QB's more time in the pocket basically.

Hey all, I've been reading the civil war going on in here and figured I'd add my two cents lol.

Outside of qb accuracy and interceptions, I don't think any slider should be moved from default. Before I get yelled at, hear me out. The last 2 years we have all said the penalty sliders have a huge effect on gameplay and yet penalties are never called. Interesting right? Well think about what each penalty actually controls.

A lower setting for the specific penalty and in theory it will never be called which means the virtual player would be more inclined to abuse the infraction.

Example: sacks are too high + qb sits in the pocket too long begging to be sacked = lower intentional grounding penalty. The lower the setting the happier the qb feet become and they will throw it away while in the tackle box knowing it won't be called.

Running game now too easy? Raise holding and clipping. In theory if the penalty will be called 100% of the time! then the player would be more gun shy to attempt it.

I might be very wrong, but I just feel some of the issues we are all having can be fixed with just a penalty tweak.

So far this game does look very buggy and I'm not happy but I'm not going to rip EA apart either. I think this game can be fantastic if they can get these patches out that can fix numerous issues. However, at the moment, this game is unplayable to me.

I didn't track my stats but the run game seemed fine to me. It takes some getting used to the ball carrier and you actually seem to need a good OL. I did a fantasy draft and took AP and an OL full of 90's players and I was shredding defenses on all pro. I've been able to run fairly well with the raiders on all pro as well. I haven't touched AM though so maybe that's where some people are seeing issues.

I like it better than some past madden games where blitzing linebackers would just go straight for the qb so run blitzes could be useless at times and when the cpu would be desperate to get a stop it would blow up in their face as you ripped off a big gain.

I have intentional grounding at 10, and I had 7 sacks in the first half my last game, as the Chiefs vs Bengals. Yhat is with new roster, and the tuner.

So annoying. I was having the most challenging, fun time I have ever had on Madden and now it just feels easy. I had 37 points with the eagles by half time, prior to the tuner update, I had never managed to hit that mark after a full game... I didn't just put the game down for a few hours and become an elite player via a recharge to my batteries either. The last time I played my franchise I was 21-6 down in a play off game. No doubt I'll turn that deficit around. This isn't a bash at EA either, it's more a bash at these cry babies who have been moaning about how 'brutal' madden is. EA can't win but it seems in not alone in my fear that they've spoiled it for the foreseeable. This could be like fight night champion all over again!
