Madden 2010 News Post

Evening folks,

Wanted to take a moment to quickly provide some details on the roster update that's rolling out tomorrow morning.

Some time between 5:00 am and 8:00 am EST the new roster will be deployed. When this happens everyone connected to our servers will be kicked off. We chose this window because it's the time with the least amount of server traffic. When the rosters are deployed the server will be restarted, resulting in just a few minutes of downtime.

At around 10:00 am EST, we will deploy the same roster to our Online Franchise server. When this happens everyone connected to that server will be kicked off. After several minutes of downtime the server will come back online and all newly created franchises from that point on will use the new roster.

This roster includes the much hyped addition of Mike Vick and Brett Favre as well as many other preseason updates. We hope you all enjoy it.

Phil

It's out. Just downloaded it.

It's up now. Vick and Favre both have pictures, so apparently they were already on the disc just waiting to be activated. Vick has Generic throwing style, Favre has Mississippi.

I just downloaded the update, and just engineered a 43 yard drive, capped off with a 6 yard TD from Favre to Harvin.

Did anyone else notice that neither Favre nor Vick have their career stats?

Maybe this is something that EA will update in a future roster update....

Do they both have their custom in game faces? Do they actually look like Vick and Favre?
 
# 68 Mos1ted @ 08/19/09 08:00 AM
Vick's wearing a visor so it's hard to see his face. Favre looks like Favre though. Athe one negative I'm seeing is that their career stats didn't carry over in the update.

Does Farve back pedal after he throws the ball like he does in real life?
 
# 70 LLDirty30 @ 08/19/09 08:16 AM
They gave Favre an "F" potential
 
# 71 Exonerated @ 08/19/09 08:23 AM
No career stats as of yet for either. Vick has no sig motion.

When I was in franchise, his potential was A. But he retired after the first season.

Not to make fun of the guy or anything, but the broken english reminds me of those customer support guys they stick you on the phone with whenever you call DELL or some of those other countries.

Any suggestions on what signature motion we should give him since he doesn't have his?
 
# 77 Mos1ted @ 08/19/09 09:07 AM
I can already see that Vick is definitely going to be a problem on line. I played as the Eagles just now just to get a feel for how Vick plays in this game. I only played one quarter but I easily scrambled for 50 yards on 3 rushes, and this is on all Madden. I didn't watch a lot of Vick games during his Falcons years, but was he really THAT good of a scrambler? (This is an honest question).

I forgot to add that my first 2 passes with him were interceptions LOL.

He was the greatest scrambler and running QB of all time. First QB to ever run for 1,000 yards. He also holds the record for highest YPC for a QB (8.5), 100 yard rushing games, and highest single game rushing hards for a QB. That should give you an idea of how great a runner he was.

Phil,
Simple question / request: would it be possible to include 'slow' game speed option to online franchises? It is the default in offline games but in online onlu the normal speed can be used.

Yup, he is no doubt the greatest running QB of all time.
