Madden NFL 19 October Title Update

Replies

  • Good update! Not sure if any of these were addressed and not listed, but I'll drop a few PC specific important fix requests here:

    - Windowed Borderless
    - Can't mute your mic or the opponent's mic in some modes/matches. If this exists somewhere, it needs to be made more available.
  • So most end-arounds are still gitched and have been since the last patch
  • It seem like after the new update everybody is running fast switch back before the patch
  • can we add things liks the Vampire Mouthpiece that Roby has. or more things like the untucked Jerseys that show the undershirt like OBJ does or the loose long sleeve undershirts. that would make the create your player so much better!

    From the looks of these notes it seems that the playerlock camera on the defensive side is still not back for cfm when playing as a player. Even though it was removed last update you still had that camera option when on defense during punts. Is this a camera angle that will be brought back or will we be stuck without that extra immersion on defense and the ability to see the backfield clearly?

    Personally without that option for the defensive playerlock camera angle creating your own defensive player in cfm just seems lackluster and as I said for me personally ruins a big part of cfm that I loved to play.

    So please it would be great to know if there are any plays for this to come back in the future.

    Seems like this is the only feedback they aren’t listening to each update I keep checking to see if they have added it back and it keeps getting ignored everytime.

    Capnmisanthropy I completely agree with you and aside from their inital comment from when it was removed there has been zero response. But guess it will be another month without being able to create a defensive cfm player and have a fun immersive experience.
  • Additional options for roster management for Franchise Commissioners. Have a 32 person league, one acted like a child and rage quit, released his entire team. Now there is no way to sign those players back to the team or reset the transactions of his actions. It's in owner mode for the league, switching teams locks the previous team from that owner.
  • downloaded the update file and i notice u can't get no pass rush with four or five man fronts u got blitz more than u normally have too and running the ball is way too easy now all u got do is stretch plays or run up middle u golden and the pass defense is gone i was was running cover 1 safety high and now that don't work or cover 2 or 3 if person u playing rolls out 9 times out 10 he going have one or two open receivers and defense doesn't react and this can't disengage a block is crazy and my notice alot more ints being throwed since update i feel ya just keep doing updates to pleased dudes who can't play or just chesse with the same plays starting to say man nomore madden give me baseball or basketball
  • This patch broke my favorite playbook and formation in MUT. Raiders - Gun: Split Raider. Can't snap the ball. Randomly works. Have to take a time out or delay of game. But I end up losing the defensive matchup.
  • The gameplay for this game is still severely broken. It makes it so frustrating that I can barely play it anymore. To start, on vertical routes it’s seemingly impossible to make a good connection with your receiver. no matter how much I press the aggressive catch button, my receiver does not even attempt to jump or catch the ball 90% of the time. The corner on the other hand will position himself perfectly almost every time and make a play on the ball while the receiver seems clueless. Also the pass protection is very broken. The cpu always has the upper hand it seems, you could have an offensive line all rated at least 10 higher overall than their matchup on the opposing d-line, but they still can’t hold a block for more than 2.5 seconds to let deep routes develop. Extremely frustrating when you know you have better players than the other team but they play nowhere near their ratings. It may just be a case of the cpu being OP. Another example is if your RB is attempting an outside run and gets a step on the edge defender, the DE will then turn into Lawrence Taylor and jump 6 feet to the side and make a near impossible 1v1 tackle in the open field almost every time, negating what should’ve been a solid gain. Good RBs break tackles in the open field all the time in real life, especially when they’re dive tackles from behind or the side. Make your game realistic EA, we keep giving you our money and the game seems to get worse. 2k could probably make a more playable game in a shorter time period bc they avidly listen to their community and put effort and pride into their product. I Just wanna have fun with this game again
  • Also defenders in pass coverage, specifically zone, don’t seem like they’re paying attention on the field. A receiver can run right past a linebacker in his zone while attempting a catch and get another 10 yards after because the defender doesn’t react to the pass or the receiver coming in his zone. Make the d a little smarter so they’re actually playing their assignments

    This patched completely destroyed the run game. At least 80% of the time an offensive Hold or a block in the back is called, Especially on plays that pitch to the outside. between the first two games I played after the patch I racked up more than 170 yards in penalties while the computer controlled team generated more than 100 yards in penalties. Prior to the patch I averaged around 30-50 yds in penalties on both Player and CPU controlled teams. Even on some pass plays there seems to be excessive hold/blocking penalties. I mostly play in offline franchise on ALL-PRO Simulated.

    In the next two games I ran 4 consecutive plays in each game with a run to the Right with the RG pulling, my FB lead blocking followed by my RB. On all 8 Accounts (4 plays per game) a Block in the back or a Hold penalty was consistently called. Most notably the FB was the culprit all though a couple of times a lineman or TE was called instead. Even the Computer controlled opponent had excessive calls of holding/block in the back. This also seems to happen with plays between the tackles but not quite as frequent. At this point I would consider Madden 19 unplayable and a fix needs to be in place immediately.


    While on the subject even prior to the October 2018 patch I have noticed a lot of false starts from the computer controlled teams when Close to the goal line, say anywhere closer than 4yd line or closer. Same thing is noticeable when the CPU is within a couple/three yards for a first down, but not as frequent. I have notice this issue in Madden 18 as well. In Madden 18 I had to completely turn off False Starts, while in 19 even though it happens quite frequently it is tolerable at this point. Has anyone else notice this as well?

  • Appreciative of the update but extremely let down after all the hype and buzz around this release. Need more authenticity and player likeness and I cannot stop stressing this as it is so critical as it has been for all other sports titles. The excuses regarding roster sizes and limited resources has to stop, let's get this title to where it should've been 3-4 years ago. Smooth move with the Kamara modification but really? That's all you give us? How about TB12 authentic high top UA cleats and spat style, maybe even the knee brace, I mean he's only considered the GOAT for a reason and last year's cover boy. Where's high socks over the knees? Where's cleat customization? At least a color wheel to customize the existing cleats to help create authenticity. OL knee braces? Mouth guards? Elbow Tape...short/long? Padded shooter sleeves...call 2K for help I don't know? Improved crowd noise, louder cheering on critical downs...post play animations such as team celebrations after a huge sack or turnover? Body build modifications...allow the user to edit the arm length and or torso? Why are kickers and punters so damn muscular, my God it's like watching an American Gladiator kick a football! Whatever happened to ACDC and Black Sabbath music featured in the game? They still play those songs in almost every stadium. How about making home field advantage actually matter! Add some blurriness to the screen on critical downs, maybe some vibration I don't know...stadiums should have ratings on difficulty based on fanbase for example...Arrowhead and Mile High stadium are extremely tough road games for opponents as well as the 12's over in Seattle. Looking for some spice boys, haven't seen anything at all. Again, appreciate the hours and labor but still so far from being elite. These are requests I feel that should've been introduced 3-4 titles ago, take the criticism it'll go a long way.
  • You guys need to fix CPU Qbs. They throw an unrealistic amount of interceptions on All Madden. They constantly ignore open receivers & throw into double coverage, also throw the ball straight to user controlled defenders, Its making the game too easy & not fun

    Yes sir, you pointed out a couple of good points here. There are many more issues just like the one explained in the original post. When you do manage to gain any type of lead the cpu literally starts making bogus penalty calls and fumbles. The only thing realistic about this game is the bad refing. Hell, you might as well ignore the play clock well your at it so you can be just like the NFL.

    Hey I just wanted you guys to know, I have scene a real improvement and effort on your part in the past 2 patches. The game has become much more realistic, my entire O-Line is not collapsing against level 60 cards, and the passing is much tighter.

    I have been a very vocal and passionate critic, but I gotta take my hat off and give you guys probs for your hard work and listening to the community.

    Thank you for addressing many of the issues like this.

    I do have one complaint. Raising team of the weak from 2200 to 5800 not cool. Seriously how many hundreds of millions do you need? Think of all the kids that play this game, or disadvantaged people that do not have money to blow.

    I ask you nicely to police yourselves on this, do not let Belgium become the entire EU and US. I like MUT, and I do not mind paying, but please if at all possible tone it down a bit. Just my 2 cents. I know you devs cannot comment on this, and it may even be out of your hands and be an EA thing.

  • I know I’m not the only one, but I was wondering if EA was gonna update the “player exclusive” cleats to the ones that majority of the nfl players are wearing this season! They are all wearing the Jordan brand retro 11’s mid and low. Wondering if there will be an update similar to last year where we got a few new cleats mid season.
  • I never received my 5k training points for my ability not working on the card I placed it on please can you fix this
  • Please fix this game please. My money and time dont grow on trees and I'm a true die hard madden fan and playa...you guys are about to lose me.. Fix the game play please to many turn over, over throws. Online play against friends all madden only head to head.
  • Appreciate the update but don't get me wrong...you add player likeness to a punter and not a top tier player like Joe Mixon, Earl Thomas, Marcus Peters or Xavier Rhodes. We wait weeks for player likeness and only get a few. EA needs to do a weekly update for player likeness and equipment. Jordan 11s need to be in Madden now not next year along with cleat customization too. Stadium sound should impact the game like in the past NCAA football games. Easy fixes for EA in my opinion.
