Ability Updates

Pick Artist: Tuning to significantly reduce knock-out chance after the catch has been secured; this will prevent knock-outs caused by contact from either an opponent receiver or a teammate defender.

Gameplay Updates:

Added logic for defenders to attack the QB more aggressively when scrambling on RPO and WR screen plays
Added logic for defenders to recognize ineligible players downfield on RPO and screen plays so they can break into pursuit faster to attack the ball carrier
Tuning to improve the pursuit of the Pitch and Read defenders on RPO Read plays so they’ll pursue the QB when he keeps the ball after not initially choosing to key on the QB
Fixed an issue causing the Read defender to tackle the WR on RPO’s
Fixed issue causing Tight End streaks to take an outside release stem at the beginning of the route
Tuning to Kick Power so that kickers with 99 KPW will now have the capability to make 66-yard field goals in the right conditions
- DEV NOTE: Because we saw a new NFL Record for FG Distance this year by Ravens K Justin Tucker, we have updated the max kick distance to reflect this amazing accomplishment. In order to pull off a 66-yard FG, you will need to achieve max kick power while pointing the kick arc all the way down, while also not having wind/weather negatively impacting the kick.
Fixed an issue sometimes preventing the defensive player from making adjustments after flipping the play
Improved a DB Press animation that was taking the receiver too far off his route
Fixed an issue preventing Play Art from always showing up in Co-Op Offline Franchise games
Tuning to improve Tight Ends catching the ball in the flat when thrown by a CPU-controlled QB
Tuning to improve pursuit angles vs. ball carriers using ‘Truck’ in the open field

Franchise Updates:

Fixed an issue where downloading a Draft Class through Scouting would sometimes cause a disconnect or crash
Fixed an issue where creating a league using Real-Life Rosters would result in an error
Fixed a crash when selecting download from Madden Share while using the Real-Life Regular Season Week 1 starting point.
Fixed an issue where users would see an error message when creating a Cloud franchise using the Real-Life Roster option and Regular Season starting point
General stability improvements
