Once again, I'm going to reiterate this:

If you don't have impressions, DON'T POST.

# 142 Pared @ 12/04/09 12:08 PM

If you want to ask some guys to check something for you, that's fine. But this thread is a complete MESS and those looking for impressions will only find discussions about anything and everything to this point. No more.

Keep the posts on the patch.

Thats from the CPU running AWAY from the user controlled player. the user controlled player can be the only one coming at him, the CPU would run back insid into the othe CPU controlled players. It was really evident on sweeps if you were using a safety.

i do notice now whoever is in man against the backs will haul to the sideline to cover, be it a safety or LB. Also i notice when the CPU does get a pass off to avoid a sack it isn't always the lame duck, sometimes it goes right down to their feet, sometimes its a lame duck and sometimes it flies a few feet forward. cool stuff.

For the guy that asked, the fade route is still slow, almost walking. Postpatch 2 it seems a little faster though they still aren't running it like they were release. Still got a good completion out of it with Megatron.

So far in my game against the Bears (i'm the lions) Cutler has actually looked for his number one reciever more than the slot. He's gone to Hester a number of times on different routes. Again, could be placebo effect i need to play more and see.

In the one game I've played, Orton was looking for Marshall early and often. Marshall came into our game leading the league in receptions and yards...and ended up racking up 9 catches for 150 yards. It was nice to feel punished by the opposition's best player.

That is so freaking stupid, EA puts all this hard work in trying to get us a game that everyone bitches about, and they add the memorial stickers to add a sense of realism, and then we have people complaining that they are on the helmets more than one season. What a damn joke.

Sounds like the head band issue in 2k...lol

Question about sliders?

Do they actually work now???
Are they as sensitive as past maddens on ps2 and xbox original???

The sliders have frankly sucked for the cpu this year after they played the game up as fully customizable sliders.

But ints happen frewquently no matter where the bar is set, and i notice no substantial difference in gameplay if , for example, i set cpu defense down to "0" and Running passing up to full bar or 20 or whatever it is????

Are the sliders better now?

please answer, thanx

Here's the Issue. someone like Johnathan Stewart AKA Panthers number 2 HB would end the season with 100 carries for 100 yards. Does that sound right? At All? In your eyes i suppose it does.

I would like to know this too. And you're right about last gen Madden. The sliders were much more sensitive. If you put INT on zero you just wouldn't get any.

Gamplay is real improved though.

Use cutsom sliders... omfg.

All the people posting about high RB' stats are wasting time....

You tune the sliders yourself,,, jeez...

# 155 SalemChief @ 12/04/09 01:16 PM

I did a bit of history checking, and can verify the statements of posters who wrote that Xbox 360 users can probably expect the patch to be available overnight Friday--MS usually makes downloads available 2am ET. So we Xbox'ers will probably be able to enjoy the improved gameplay with our Saturday morning coffee.

Looking forward to it!

Make us wait months for patches that improve certain areas but make others uselss. ITS GARBAGE. I also like how age has no effect on a RBs skill. LT is 37 years old in the in chise i simmed and hes still goin 1500 strong. PLEASE. My final impression is what it has always been. EA doesnt watch enough football to know how to make a decent football game. How Looman can sit there and see all the RBs go over 1000 yards and have two or three of the break Dickersons single season rushing record ever year and then allow all this to be in the game is trash. The patch made defense play a little better. And ended the twitchy running. But it destroyed offline franchise. I waited and waited and waited for this patch to start a new frachise, only to be fooled by EA AGAIN. So please forgive me mods for being pissed off, but sometimes in life certain things have to be said.

I don't think EA watches enough sports in general. SIM stats has always been EA's dark side. The hockey game (NHL 10) is great, except for the SIM stats. I don't own this game, but from what I heard with NHL 10, the player ratings are based on a 50pt scale, not 100. So the stats are going to be messed up because there isn't such a difference in players. Maybe Madden is doing the same thing??

I'm mostly a hockey guy and rarely play my copy of madden (bought it just to play a few friends online every once in a while) but I popped it in today to see what all the hubbub was all about.

Now I don't know anything about football X's and O's minus the basic positions and packages, but I was playing the Steelers and the CPU was kicking my butt today with the Browns! Passing all over the place on me, and really pressuring me while I was in the pocket.. definately never saw that before. The most success I had was run plays mostly pitching ones with Mendenhall.

So for what it's worth, the CPU seems more aggressive on D, better run blocking for the player, and better passing for the CPU...

# 160 kpkpkp @ 12/04/09 01:32 PM

Could someone with a PS3 just please tell me if the blocks instead of numbers on the back of Patriots helmets was fixed??????????
