Patch 2: Determining Priority

[TheFuture94]

Re: Patch 2: Determining Priority

- Placing a guy on IR should free a roster spot
- Fix the over the head catch from happening all the time
- Fix 360 replays
- Fix franchise stats for running backs and 3-4 OLBs
- Fix the WRS warping to catch a ball (Shown in one of apexisfree's last vids)
- Let us edit players physical appearance in franchise
- Fix run blocking
- Fix defenders knowing routes better than WRs
- Fix defenders turning their backs on WRs (should only happen when they realize the ball is past them)
- Fix pursuit angles
Fix opening cut scenesof statiums from being in the day time on night games
- Let us promote coaches in franchise mode.
- CPU QBs don't have a blindside and never take sacks
- WRs don't try to drag their feet inbound nearly as much as they should, needs to be fixed
- Auto replay frequency

Re: Patch 2: Determining Priority

-more rushing touchdowns in franchise mode for sure. they are way too low.

-also the LB sacks numbers being to low as well in franchise mode.

-seems too difficult to get sacks in the game. maybe because the cpu gets rid of the ball so easily.

haven't played enough yet to comment on other things. but those 3 were obvious right away.

Re: Patch 2: Determining Priority

be able to edit everything about the player, (except age) mid-franchise. Offline only.

Also save draft history. If they could do this in a patch.

We were told it would already be in the game.

Thank you very much.

Re: Patch 2: Determining Priority

Injuries..needs to be more longer major injuries.

Re: Patch 2: Determining Priority

There seems to be no definitive sideline.

Sometimes a catch well within the field of play is called incomplete and sometimes a play that has a foot out of bounds is called complete..

Along those same lines, I think this is one reason why the CPU runs out of bounds alot.


Camera view on draw plays.

The camera pans down and back when the RB gets the ball and its very difficult to see lanes (and the score ticker is in the way)

Replays cut Short on PS3

I understand this is a 360 issue too but as everyone knows, if you have a long play, (like an 80 yard run) the replay starts well into the play. I've also read people say it doesn't happen on PS3, I'm here to tell you that it does.


Injuries

Injuries seem to happen enough (can be adjusted either way with sliders) but they are always short term injuries (few plays).

Now remember, sometimes the risk is 'Medium' risk to return and if you select to use another player, the injured player will remain out for the game. But there should be one or two injuries on occasion that are longer term.


Ask Madden Plays

When selecting plays via 'Ask Madden', Mr. Madden talks over the commentary. I realize this is a learning tool but you can't hear him anyway. Removing him all-together or muting him in Advanced play calling settings would be ideal.

I'll add more as I think of them.

Re: Patch 2: Determining Priority

I assume this would be impossible to do with just a patch, but what about route based running?

[turfguy23]

Re: Patch 2: Determining Priority

1. Ability to change/edit controller configuration

2. Substitutions on special teams (kickoff, punt, etc)

3. Injury bug (1rst post in "official bugs thread")

4. Team Ratings changing after season starts (Lions jumped 15 points)

Re: Patch 2: Determining Priority

*Sideline catches
*limit the "two hands over the head, jumping catch to the wrong side" catch

Re: Patch 2: Determining Priority

NOTE: Everyone should rank the fact that assisted tackles are not counted in total tackles as a major concern that needs to be fixed. This could potentially hurt the user's progression in franchise mode and will give his players very low tackle numbers. I'm sure more people will notice as they play in franchise mode and see their star MLB with only 15 tackles in 4 games (even though it should be closer to 30).

Re: Patch 2: Determining Priority

Tackle solo/assists must be added together for total tackle numbers

This. Whats the point if they arent added together?

Low TDs for RBs.
More pressure/sack numbers from OLBs

Whats in the first patch? Is there a list?

Re: Patch 2: Determining Priority

I'd like to see longer cut scenes and replays and more frequent. It seems like they rush through things instead of letting it play out.

Also, AI use of time outs for late game situations. They conserve timeouts by spiking the ball which does happen irl, but is not always the best strategy. For example, after a sack it takes too long to line up and spike the ball, but the ai does that anyway when they have a t.o. in hand.

Re: Patch 2: Determining Priority

Sideline catches/not running out of bounds
Replay Frequency(big plays, tds, sacks, etc.)
Ball spinning the correct way on PS3 replays ( I know minor but still)
Replays not cutting off.
Madden not talking over announcers (i dont even think i selected ask madden)

more later

Re: Patch 2: Determining Priority

Sideline catches/not running out of bounds

Too many wild balls from QB hits.

Re: Patch 2: Determining Priority

- Pushing the swat button and having DBs (who are in perfect position to make plays) just stand there is ridiculous. I don't care if it doesn't happen that often, would it be fair if every once in a while the QB couldn't throw the ball even if you mash on the buttons?

- Quick passes (by the User) on blitzes seem to find wide open guys pretty regularly for huge gains.

- Would be nice to see the correct animation happen more, as I seem to be throwing too many picks because the receiver keeps trying to catch the ball "over the shoulder" instead of being aggressive and going after the ball.

- A little more time pre-snap would be cool too (Field Goals and Punts are really bad).

- Would like to see teams like Tennessee and Dallas actually SPLIT carries between their running backs, not just substitute based on fatigue.

- As mentioned before, CPU QBs need to man up and take sacks.
