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

[JayD]

Maybe if you set all penalties to 95 then more will get called like in NCAA 09. Has anyone tried this?

[Flamehead]

I have. It really doesn't make a difference. Given how they don't work, I don't know why they even bother to give the illusion of having them in there in the first place.

agreed... I've never seen a Clipping call in Madden in my life. Yet the slider is at 100 or 95... ridiculous.

I dunno, I get what seems like one false start on every drive.
That makes for a rough game for me since I lose yards on every running play so I'm usually faced with a 3rd and eons.
I have also had pass interference and holding called on the CPU every so often. Not as often as it probably should though.

yeah i get a few of those... but what about the other ones?

I am 2-3 in my Ravens franchise, and am middle of the league in penalties. My last game against the Titans I saw my first clipping penalty of the season (which is fine considering it is almost never called in real life). I ended up with 7 penalties for 72 yards, that included the 15 yard clipping, a defensive pass interference, 3 false starts, 1 offsides, and a facemask. The Titans had 2 holdings, a false start, and 2 encroachment/offsides penalties.

I have my penalties all set to 95. I am simply not seeing any issues with the penalties in this game.

I have gotten a clipping call. Like Mill said it really doesn't happen all that much in the NFL so i am ok with it

I've roughed the passer a few times (mainly out of frustration) and have had a tiny amount of holding calls, but nothing close to the number of calls you'd see in an NFL game.

Point blank question for Ian: Are you guys willing and/or able to fix fatigue and penalty frequency proper in the second patch?

[The 24th Letter]

the safety fix seems to help , if you play w\o it its pretty noticable how much standing they did lol....
