FA was opened up after 11 PM on a Saturday night? GG shadow council. Congrats to those lucky enough to have been around to have seen that 15-20 minute warning

I was at 54 in week 2 of pre-season since the trade takes one week to process. Hopefully it cut that scrub and not anyone I needed.

Anyone else having trouble with training? Had it hang and freeze for me on the loading screen now both times all three times I've attempted it.

Haven't had problems with training in both the madden league and my personal league. Both cloud franchises.

It was a wild game though. Really need to find a pass rush, it felt like I was under pressure every pass and seemed like I was in coverage for an hour on defense.

I was wondering what happened on that INT - I did pick underneath, but didn't expect a magic trick

and yeah, blitzes seemed to be getting through for me and the coverage attempts you just picked apart

Yeah, when I threw the ball and saw the trajectory it took, I didn't expect to get a TD, but figured at the worst it would be batted down and I'd pick up a FG. It hurt even more because just 1 play prior, Cook dropped the ball in the endzone while uncovered. Hit him right in the hands.
BigAT said:
Yeah, I think my training is just fucked. Restarted the PS4, reloaded the franchise separately. Nothing.

That's strange. I did manage to get through it last night without problem. Maybe cut your best pass rushers and see if that fixes it?

also there is no daddy leagues site (i haven't even renewed it anyways yet) because EA hasn't finished THEIR online site/app thing, which is where daddy leagues draws from. so... even if i renewed it, madden 17 isn't able to work with it yet :/

I like the focus training. The XP values suck. Hard to build up scrubs.

Do you have to do training before you play your game? I tried to do it after and all I had was free practice.

Who did you take? I actually cut my entire practice squad and then tried to fill it out with guys who had more interesting stats but there wasn't a lot to choose from.

Edit: Oh looks like you took the LBers, okay.

since I haven't played my game, I would say that's probably the way to go. I haven't had a problem.

Yes, you must do the training prior to the game to take advantage of focused training. Also this year you can have your Offense and Defense focus on a certain strategy like "Curls/Flat routes" or "Cover 2 defense" to get a slight boost when you call those type of plays in that weeks game.

Yeah I knew about the focus part, my focus this week was slants and cover 1. It apparently tries to base it on your opponents tendencies which I don't know how it determines those with zero data so far. I wonder if you still get XP if you don't do the training on your own, probably not.

I believe you do, after this week you can sim the training if you get gold and if you got gold the first time, you'll always get the gold boosts

I hope that's how it works. I got gold on both offense and defense in practice this week so it would be cool if I didn't have to do them and still get that gold bonus.

Yeah When I tested it on my own franchise that is how it worked, though with certain opponents, that concept boost might be valuable.

It won't give me gold on verts if I only have gold on the slants practice right? Only if I focus on slants again I assume
