Madden Mobile dev team gets an E for effort.

I don't get why it's so hard to provide an update like above for MM or actually tell people what events and sets actually produce instead of just leaving everyone guessing.
It's cause their team is much smaller and I believe splitting time between putting out updates for MM and also the NBA mobile game.

I wasn't involved in that portion of the game but I think a lot of it had to do with it being originally written by a bunch of outsourcers who wrote terrible fuckin code and it's taken about this long to piece-by-piece completely rewrite all of that code that was functional but nothing more than that.

Yah I know it's way smaller but bring on an intern to at least type up what's being released and what to do with the new stuff.

Or introduce one of them to SA so they can get decent feedback without all the crap off muthead and Reddit being thrown at them lol.

just buy a new jersey. the starter players are trash anyway and will quickly be replaced.

the only way to "restart" is a new PSN account.

does MUT charge extra contracts when you add contracts to a bunch of players in bulk? When that popup comes up that says "Player X, Y and Z's contracts are expiring, select how many games to add below", the cost of each game is higher than if you just went to each player's card individually and added the contracts? Maybe I suck at math but it seems weird

no, it doesn't charge extra, but it literally will add to every player on your roster, even 3rd stringers so it escalates pretty quickly

ohhhh I thought it was only adding to those whose contracts were expiring, not to everyone. That's dumb

Also make sure you're never adding contracts to anyone except your best players. A contract for an elite costs the same as a contract for a solo-grinding-silver, so if you manage to run out of silver/bronzes for solo challenges somehow there's no drawback to using your golds/non limited elites.

I remember that, for example, footwork (OL) and throw accuracy (for player controlled QBs) didn't matter as attributes in Madden 15 and 16. Is everything still the same for Madden 17 or did they change something regarding attributes?

They changed some stuff but the spergs who lab it haven't done a ton on it yet.

Play rec seems more important then zone coverage, for example.

This happens to me sometimes on the Bone, but only when I restart a challenge from the popup after the fail.

I seem to remember that only throw short, medium and deep mattered if you were controlling the QB and throw accuracy only played a role in simulated games, but I could be wrong

While anecdotal, I have more completely off target throws with a low AWR QB than I do with a higher rated AWR, even if their accuracies are close in rating. For other positions on offense, it depends on what you are trying to do with them. For defense, I think that if you always user the same player, AWR can be ignored.

There's still a baseline throw accuracy? Oh wow I thought that went away with short mid deep breakdown

I'm honestly not even sure how to see the oline footwork stats or whatever

Does anyone else feel like the Close Shotgun formation (where you have 3 WRs all lined up near the hashes, and your TE/RB in the backfield next to the QB) is basically cheating? Been using only this formation for 2 years of Madden now and it's the best for passing, every route combo is unstoppable especially drags

It's a good formation and it's very flexible but it's not significantly better than other good formation in the game.

some times when choosing a play on offense, the circles representing the players will be silver/gray rather than blue. what does that mean?

As far as I can tell it means for some reason the game wasn't able to pull the players fatigue level. I think it's just a glitch.

did you pay them all bonuses? because bonuses come out of your immediate cash pool and you need to make more money so hopefully you didn't do exactly that!
