Nice!!

I don't think this will affect gameplay much. We'll see. I like the stat fix for my offline franchise, QB styles, 15 second defensive play calls, and less accurate short passes for crappy QBs.

The issue where you only had 1 second or it automatically picked your play alone will help Gameplay. Even after a timeout the issue happened where you were unable to pick a play. Had it happen a number of times

Not to mention the QB inaccuracy which I seen in full effect lastnight. Went 9-23 with Matt Stafford...and he has pretty solid ratings. Missed ALOT of wide open passes in the 10-20 yard range by 10 feet at times. Great thing about this version though is the ball finds the dirt much more, instead of a defenders hands. I actually overthrow or underthrow quite a a bit of passes...even with the better QB's in the game.

Looks like y'all may need to re-up accuracy.

This was in an unranked All-Madden game against a friend of mine.

I was errant on passes before the patch quite a bit

9-23 isn't exactly stellar. I understand wanting incompletions but that's too far in the other direction.

2 were interceptions on my behalf, just made a terrible decision

Some of the others were tipped but I missed some wide open ones too. My problem is directional passing which I do on every single throw I make. Also all these passes are bullet throws as well. May be leaning too heavily on the stick when I throw lol.

Will have more of a sample size when I stop doing that and use other QB's.

I played 2 games last night with the patch. One on my normal All-Pro Browns franchise and one in a new All-Madden franchise with my Dolphins. I didn’t see a big difference gameplay wise. I think everyone should use their existing sliders and tweak from there rather than go back to default since not a lot changed imo. I do like the Slim play call menu. I haven’t noticed the QB throwing styles but wasn’t really paying attention either.

First on All-Pro there are still a lot of sacks taken by the cpu. I’m not as bothered by that as some are. I’m more bothered by the running game not being fixed. The inside running game is still overpowered since guards knock the DTs backwards every time. It makes short yardage automatic and basic Iso runs up the middle are practically money plays. It’s my #1 complaint with this Madden even though most people don’t seem to care. When I first got the PS4 two weeks ago it was a big adjustment for me. I thought running was hard until I simply realized it was pointless to run outside and just hammer it up the middle behind the guards. Guard play in the run game has been over-powered for at least two years and it’s very unbalanced between inside/outside running on the PS4 imo.

Both the sack issue and easy inside user running on All-Pro suffer from horrible sliders! The blocking sliders and most sliders in M15 do next to nothing. They are incredibly watered down to the point of almost being useless. Run block at 0 or 100 doesn’t make a big difference and therefore it’s very hard to fix. It’s clear this EA dev team doesn’t care about sliders and that needs to change.

That said I also played a game on All-Madden and I saw Tom Brady go 23-31 against me. He took 2-3 sacks and I also saw him throw the ball away and not just eat the ball on coverage sacks. I like the running game better on All-Madden since it was tougher. Tannehill got hurt and Matt Moore came in and misfired quite a bit for me on the short throws so I did see that. I hope that the new inaccuracies are tied to the short accuracy ratings and not just the overall QB rating but I liked it what I saw. So I’m done with All-Pro and going to make the move to All-Madden and pray my terrible passing game can survive with slider adjustments.

This game is flawed but I still like it. I enjoyed M13 despite terrible flaws. It’s just up to each individual’s acceptance threshold imo.

Really wish the owner mode funds issue would have been addressed. Playing as Oakland I don't have the funds for free agency and stadium renovations. I can either do one or the other but not both. The cpu is also NOT signing a lot of free agents due to lack of funds.
