Madden NFL - February Title Update

EA_KRAELO · February 26, 2019 3:07PM

Welcome back Madden fans for a Title Update to Madden NFL 19. This update is heavily influenced by your community feedback. Make sure to give us more feedback on the official forums.

Change Log

General Stability improvements

Additional logging to track online desyncs

DEV NOTE: While our internal tracking shows that online desyncs are occurring at a very low rate when looking across all online play, we realize that any desyncs impacting higher level online competitions have a big impact on play-experience. We're continuing to work to drive down the rate, especially focusing on competitive formats and this tracking will help us identify the causes.

Gameplay Updates

Tuning

Fumble risk added to ball carriers when using the spin move when hit in the back with a successful hit-stick tackle
Addressed an exploit allowing users to avoid the Aggressive Pass Rush coach adjustment penalty by repeatedly shifting the defensive line back & forth in pre-play; defenders can now jump offsides while shifting
Additional context added to match-up formula for catches in traffic; logic added for taking into account additional defenders who are within the proximity to either the receiver or the catch point.
DEV NOTE: This change will reduce the effectiveness of Aggressive Catches in traffic by respecting the impact of nearby defenders relative to both the receiver and the catch point.
Decreased the facing-angle threshold for the strafe animation added in a previous update to fix a manual Spy blitz exploit
DEV NOTE: This change will make it less likely that a user will get into a strafe state when trying to cover a pass or pursue a ball carrier, but will still force the defender to strafe if trying to blitz the QB from a Spy or Zone coverage assignment

Special Teams

Fixed an issue preventing touchdowns from always being awarded on fake punts and fake field goals when the snap receiver was the one who scored the touchdown
DEV NOTE: This fix also fixes issues PS4 players have encountered in Skills Trainer regarding touchdowns not always being awarded correctly.

Catching

Fixed an issue that could sometimes result in a player not being ruled down correctly when going to the ground after a catch in traffic
DEV NOTE: While this will fix the most common occurrences of the bug, we have identified one edge case that is still possible to hit, but far more rare. We are continuing to work on a fix for that edge case and will have that resolved very soon as well.

Pass Coverage

Made additional improvements to Cover 4 Quarters Trips logic in order to better defend certain pass route combinations.
Addressed a press animation issue with the Curl Flat defender in Cover 3 which would occasionally lead to that defender not properly carrying out his pass coverage assignment

Any chance EA will fix online Franchises not being able to advance most commonly happens during year 5.

GurmailGhuman · February 26, 2019 6:55PM

Congratulations ... made it to the end of the season and no acknowledgment or fix from the dev team regarding not being able to see opponents records on H2H online games.

MikeCole26 · February 26, 2019 7:10PM

I still can't see opponents records on h2h. Had the game since it dropped and still no changes...come on ea can we please get this fixed

Removed5454 · February 26, 2019 7:36PM

Please add the offensive goal line set to each team play book. Also, why is it that defensive backs are out running receivers to passing locations? It feels as if the offense is slowed where receivers are just not getting to where they need to be! Also, the offensive line blocking is just awful! The whole concept behind the game is awful. There is too much cheating in the gameplay that makes any authenticity seem laughable!

AgentHanneman24 · February 26, 2019 7:56PM

Better late than never. Some of these should have been included at day one.

B9EHZHFELVS56RUL · February 26, 2019 8:47PM

You should not be able to put 11 men coverage. Its unrealistic. Please make a patch where atleast 2 defensive lineman have to rush the passer. Please fix QB contain. Its a joke. Once the QB approaches the line of scrimmage, the "Container" should automatically acsend upon the QB to make the tackle. This probably will never be amended because alot of players need to move around with QB to manipulate the games short comings.Users are picking the fastest quarterbacks because of this. The user QB waits for you to take control of the QB "container" then will throw as pass behind you that goes through 2 of your defenders bodies. Learn to read defenses. Pocket passers are winning Superbowls.

Tarisinho · February 26, 2019 10:01PM

Please, put one Server in Brazil. We need from low pings to play online franchise

TBITW4321 · February 26, 2019 10:02PM

Please fix defense assist when u press the button the defender runs right pass the ball carrier.

princejp23 · February 26, 2019 10:16PM

Joshoowaa123 · February 26, 2019 10:18PM

For madden 20 I think y’all should make a game similar to the modes in NBA2k such as a mycareer mode, a myGM,...etc.

phillyrage · February 26, 2019 10:34PM

Please fix the entire game!!! Thankyou!

sithlord43 · February 26, 2019 10:36PM

Will the QB Vision be brought back or at least made optional 4 gamers that want 2 play with it like the tackle vision? Ball trajectory & ball placement is hasn't been good since the PS2... I feel like I'm throwing blind on the game, because there are areas of the field I know exactly where I'd like attack but can't because there's no exact control of throwing the ball. Especially when opponents can play on the middle linebackers or safeties and just sit in the middle of the field & be able 2 defend any pass thrown... There's has 2b better flexibility in the passing games against these "nano/glitch" defenders & defenses..

phillyrage · February 26, 2019 10:37PM

Oh and i think people who lab the game are the reasons why this game is pathetic, its exposed. EA.. Better get right!!!
