Madden 10 Patches - What I'd Like To See

Posted on August 17, 2009 at 04:00 AM.

MADDEN 10 is fun. It's the most fun I've had with a football video game since Tecmo Bowl. Seriously.

No game is ever perfect, and from what I can tell they're just like films - they're never really 'finished' - you just kinda run out of time.

These are the "Little Things" I'd love the Developers of Madden 10 to clean up with their two Patches before moving on to their next project, Madden NFL 11.

* RBs get open in flats too often (I was suspicious before, now the Experimadden Thread convinced me - please investigate)

* Pursuit Angles (too often INTs go for 6 because of POOR unrealistic pursuit by AI)

* Sideline Catches aren't happening

* Auto Replay frequency (MUCH more, please)

* Clock Logic issues (possibly buggy)

* CPU players still running out of bounds too soon ( like in 09 )

* BASIC IMPLEMENTATION of Progressive Lighting. (please!)

* Some Cutscenes start too quickly. (especially on the Goal Line and sometimes First Down situations) Seeing some run plays end while still in Gameplay Cam BEFORE cutting into the closeup would be nice. (Subtle variations)

* Field Degradation (more, please. Slider for '11?)

* Broadcast Camera on stadium Jumbotrons, instead of gameplay cam.

* CPU quick snaps on kicks, excessive holding.

* Player Clipping - guys walk through Endzone Walls, totally KILLS immersion when it happens.

(sideline guys too, but hey I get it)

* Chain gang camera angles. (more than two, please. Subtle variations)

* Audible Setup screen should show which button the play is being assigned to. (I'll say it - least impressive design feature in M10. Whoops.)

* Framerate issues. (slightly sloppy on PS3 - 360 install works wonders)

* Invisible Jet Flybys shouldn't happen inside the Louisiana Superdome. Whoops.

For Madden '11 - Option to INSTALL DATA to HD for PS3 Users. (Like SF4)

Yeh and not to mention half the time when you try to make a highlight it only has half the play available to make one.

I like your list but some of it won't be patch. Stuff like more cutsceens, different camera angles on jumbo tron just aren't something the will or should waste time patching. Just hopeful that they take note and keep it from happening next year.

The gameplay stuff you mentioned I hope we see addressed. We need better Pursuit Angles. NCAA blows Madden away in this area. Hopefully this will be fixed. The running out of bounds is another area that needs to be addressed. This can be annoying.

Good list, the gameplay stuff is possible, the presentation stuff will have to wait till next year in my opinion.

I actually have a laundry list of things that either can/should be patched or put in Madden 11 that I'm gunna post on EA's Madden 10 feedback site. I felt like I was pretty much done but you know how things continue to pop in your head either while playing the game or whatever. Lol. And now I see YOUR list actually has a couple of great things that I missed. I will add those to mine. Maybe u should post yours on their site as to be more productive. I LOVE the new Madden and just want EA to continue to make it as great as they can get it.
