Patch notes are out;

 

The second Madden NFL 16 title update is now available. Included are improvements and fixes to Madden NFL 16 gameplay, Connected Franchise, Madden Ultimate Team, and more.

GAMEPLAY

• Addressed issue where if a team called a time out on the safety punt, they would then be able to kick a regular kickoff
• Addressed issue where sometimes a defender would have a poor pursuit angle toward the ball carrier if the ball carrier was breaking a tackle during a catch
• Addressed issue where sometimes defensive linemen would freeze for the remainder of the play after being knocked to the ground
• Addressed issue where the defense would not adjust alignment if the CPU controlled offensive team enacted a concept audible
• Updated Individual Coverage adjustments to not only affect the pre-snap shading but also the post play leverage technique
• Addressed issue where adjusting the ZONE shading would have an effect on the defenders drop location instead of just the leverage technique
• Addressed issue where cancelling a PA Fake would allow for a 1-step drop on certain plays
• Addressed issue where the game clock would be restarted of a declined penalty after an incomplete pass
• Addressed issue where safeties in Cover 4 Deep assignments were reacting to run too quickly

CONNECTED FRANCHISE

• Addressed issue where defensive holding slider would reset when exiting the screen
• Addressed issue where accelerated clock would not work in H2H CFM games
• Addressed issue where visual feedback settings were pulling from the user’s profile instead of league settings
• Addressed issue where some settings would carry back to the FE after playing a CFM game
• Addressed issue where the CPU would retain an empty roster spot when simming to the regular season when there is a player on Injured Reserve (note: changes aren’t reflected until after your current season is finished)
• Addressed issue where the user could not sort player while in the Fantasy draft board
• Removed Kick Return as a scoutable trait (note: changes won’t be reflected until after your current season is finished)
• CFM Trade tuning
• Addressed issue in CFM H2H where uniforms would change back to default home/away even after changing them in the team select screen
• Addressed a rare issue that caused some Franchise files to be corrupted, preventing players from accessing their CFM (note: this won’t repair already corrupted files, and only prevents future occurrences)

MADDEN ULTIMATE TEAM

• MUT Play a Friend quarter length boosted to four minutes from two minutes
• In MUT H2H Seasons and Draft Champions H2H Draft, terminating the game during the load screen will give the quitter a loss and the opponent a win. In MUT, Contracts will still be removed.

OTHER

• Play Now games were using regular season overtime rules rather than playoff overtime rules (removed possibility for ties)
• Addressed issue in online games where the defensive timer would run out during a pause causing the game to auto pick the defensive play
• Addressed over 100 general bug and stability issues

No specific mention of the advance issue being fixed.  Nice.  Thanks EA.

   @Judgebredd I believe that was a server side fix but please let us know if you run into it again.

Fingers crossed boys, looks like we can go again!

[shatnersbassoon]

Christ knows.I'm guessing the franchise file corruption is linked to what we experienced so we have a choice to carry on from whre we are, ie preseason week 3 and assume it won't happen again or start from scratch.

[Mcmanus]

pro10 has been corrupted already

we have no idea if the pro8 has been as other leagues have rolled back later in the fran

[tripperman28]

What does this mean pro 10 restart or continue on??

[shatnersbassoon]

To my mind the former would be the most logical move.

It would be highly irritating to get to into the season proper and then have to get my ass kicked by the same teams all over again

[Mcmanus]

What does this mean pro 10 restart or continue on??

all commishes are discussing

[DiodeX]

Just asking Rex on twitter that question, but to my mind the Pro 10 file is already poisoned! 

[shatnersbassoon]

And Diodex is in discussion with the top boffins at EA

@Judgebredd I would keep going if you aren't running into any major issues. None of the leagues I play in are restarting.

What a reply - ask if they have fixed the weeks resetting issue and he doesn't know for sure and asks us to check for him.

[shatnersbassoon]

At least now we know what EA actually stands for : Entirely Amateur

[StueyH111]

Carry on with the CFM's. s*d restarting!

[shatnersbassoon]

You say that now, and I'm sure there are others who would agree, but what if we get into the season, advance a week and end up back in preseason because the franchise files are corrupted? 

[ZoSo]

Safest thing to do is to restart. As p**sed as i am now that we lost three weeks and went back to pre season week 2, imagine how p**sed we would be if we lost an entire season, the records, player progressions, FA pickups, drafts if there was a bug still in the saved file. 

Best thing would EA to confirm what the bug was and if its gone - failing that we need to cover ourselves.

[StueyH111]

You could restart and still have the bug though.

[DiodeX]

It does sound like they had a problem with the cloud saves and if it is a server fix then (as long as they ain't f**ked it) it should all be good.

love this one :D

True - but if they say they have fixed it then you would assume/hope that it wouldnt happen again. More chance of us avoiding it in a new save rather than continuing an existing one
