Madden 09 Patch #1 Released, Discuss Here (360, PS3)

[xtoddx]

I've been reading that people don't get penalties, but I've been getting penalties at least 4-5 times a game on 6 minute quarters. Maybe it's random or something.

I have penalties maxed out and I'm not getting ANY called except for like roughing the passer and pass interference which was at my own doing - user controlled penalties. No holding, facemask or anything.

How do you find the INT slider?

Thanks.

Press A on the Pass Defense Slider.

Thanks Roadman.

Well, I know it wasn't claimed to be apart of this patch, but I've not had a freeze since the patch. I'm keeping my fingers crossed this remains the case cause I do love the game itself.

That said, I am disappointed to learn there is no preseason player progression. That is a little disappointing, but at least now I know to just sim preseason games.

I get a couple false starts a game, as well as a hold or two. But I haven't seen any facemasking, pass interference or defense of holding.

I've seen all of these, although I'd agree that the frequency isn't very realistic. This is really my only beef with Madden...sliders. Do I understand why they'd reduce penalties, yes. I know many casual (and even not so casual) gamers don't want constant penalties and I completely get that. I just want to see the sliders have more effect. I can play with penalty sliders maxed or almost completely reduced and the results seem to be the same (although clipping seems to change more than others). Anyway, I just wish the sliders had a more tangable effect.

I can agree with that. Thankfully, and hopefully, the "effect" a slider has can be updated in a patch if they choose to do so. I'd like to see a few more Pass Interference calls, truthfully.

Maybe its just the game i had but i'm noticing the QB's are not as accurate as before the patch. I played the Seahawks and Hassleback was all over the place with his passes( over throwing throwing wide) I don't know if it had anything to do with the patch or it was just that game. I played a good amount of games and i have not seen the CPU QB's ever throw like that
