Does that mean offline SIM stats are fixed?

 

I don't see it in the update log.

 

Ugh. Come on EA.

What's that tuning adjustment thing, though?

 

That actually is probably the sim stat change.

 

I hope so

 

Some people on the OperationSports post commented and said offline sim stats were fixed.

 

Thank you sir.

 

Thank God

 

any chance madden allowing you to use your playbook in no huddle online like they do offline?

 

what is "grieving"?

 

Being a douche with your connection, or the game to try to get the other person to quit.

 

Still curious to why the X1 patch was 3 gigs.. First game post patch and my D wasn't auto picked one time so that's a plus. QB accuracy ... I couldn't tell if this was effected in the online cfm.

 

It should effect online CFM. As for the patch size...from what I'm told the difference in size was due to differences in the consoles, not that they pushed out anything "extra" to the Xbox One.

 

The two things I don't like about the slim option for playcalling is that you can't see your players fatigue levels or make right stick subs.

 

i read it was optional that you can switch back to the regular size?

 

Not the point I am making.
