No except for missing career stats

I'm not saying it is drastically better, but I did notice it on a couple of passes.

I have the Ravens set to 40 pass/run and 40 aggression and they had 1 pass to 9 runs to start the game. Thats a 1st as well, before they would still pass too much imo. So far so good. I like how the slider are more effective w/ the coaching schemes now. Great job EA!

great to hear. can't wait to check out your new sliders with fatigue, coaching etc.

Anyone have any word on the pass rush? Is it improved?

I am currently on All-Madden with CPU pass rush set to 5 and I am getting about 2-3 sacks a game which is about realistic. Do I have reason to be concerned that this setting will now be broken?

Ok I'm pretty sure I downloaded the patch b/c I have the option of using broadcast camera but the 49ers helmets are still the wrong color and neither Vick nor Favre have their career stats. I'm almost positive I downloaded the Madden patch b/c I downloaded the Microsoft update yesterday and this one prompted me when I booted up Madden.

Am I missing something?

# 128 Comet21 @ 09/24/09 11:48 AM

Were the career stats only updated for the PS3? I looked under Player Management in the main menu and in a Franchise, but still no Franchise stats. Is this just happening on the 360, sorry I am a stat junkie.

What about online franchises? Will the new patch affect those as well?

The reason for that is because the super sim doesn't account for accelerated clock. It'll run a whole 12 minutes of plays instead of 12 minutes + 20 second accelerated clock or whatever you use.. It's crazy.

Has anybody played online? Have the qtrs changed to 7 minutes? Thanks

Im having the same issue, I know I have the patch because it has AFL Legacy Mode as an option for me at the menu, and also I have the broadcast camera.

I have yet to notice any difference gameplay from the update. Im highly dissappointed right now.

Great patch so far..i decided to delete everything that i had from madden saves on my hdd..just to feel better and then i got the patch downloaded. So far so good..i mean yeah its still not perfect but its starting to look like more of a polished madden10..not saying its "polished" but this patch#1 has done some good for sure. I think the real changes will be made with patch#2 obviously but this will hold me down a bit.

Now i got something to tinker with this weekend as far as adjust new sliders lol...oh brother, this is gonna be a fun weekend tweaking my baby. Hey the AFL pack is freaking awesome..holy crap!

# 134 mems1224 @ 09/24/09 11:58 AM

im guessing that CPU throwing the ball everytime before he gets sacked hasnt been adressed? or the CPU throwing the ball right after the snap everytime you press??

anyone know???

# 135 cowboyscowboys @ 09/24/09 11:58 AM

No Favre and Vick career stats for me I am on 360.

# 136 sportyguyfl31 @ 09/24/09 12:02 PM

From what I'm reading (not t home, so I cannot play for myself), it sounds like they simply slowed down the route running of the "cheapie routes": drags, flat routes, TE/Slot WR slant, rather then improve the responsiveness of your short zone defenders.

Accurate observation?

How's manually DL play? Still suction block vortex on every snap?

# 137 wsboan11 @ 09/24/09 12:03 PM

i have had fumbles on 25 for cpu and human and was getting a decent amount for both, a few games with none. post patch, the fumbles slider had def been worked on. at 25, there were 3 cpu fumbles and 2 human fumbles in the first half alone. so i just bumped that up and its okay. only played one game so far but the game seems to be better.

Got to luv your positive attitude. Nice to see in mostly a neg. thread, at least it seams.

The QB still has spider senses and throws the ball before the defender gets to him. I found out a good trick to avoid that though, play as the DE's and when you are close enough to get to him press "X" and for some reason it will stop his animation of throwing and it allows you to sack him. If you try to hit stick or run into him, he will throw the ball every time.

Me too dude.. about the coaching sliders..its more effective..i gotta watch the placebo effect though but im really liking the changes made so far as i stated above. Overall..its not a HUGE change but definitely an improvement for us "not so picky gamers" but i just started messing with sliders so by this weekend i'll know how much of an improvement patch1 has done.

Man i hope patch2 dont take ages..i want to get that in and just finally enjoy the game for the rest of the season.
