Yes.
Pre-game ... when you're picking your uniforms and what-not, there's an option called "AFL effects". Just turn it off.
The brown screen is turned off, everything else stays - the stat overlays, uniforms, fields, etc...

Very good to hear. Thanks.

I have a pre-existing franchise, and loaded it up to play the week 1 game between the Bills and Pats. They automatically put the AFL uniforms and logos at the Franchise screen which is cool.

The only problem is that the game froze in the 1st quarter while I was looking at a replay. Not cool.

Is the offensive fatigue still an issue, CB? At the end of the game, does the WRs, HBs, etc. disappear?



Is the CPU throwing the ball deep more or still throwing a lot in the middle of the field about 5-10 yds. deep?

Keep in mind all of my comments were observations from practice mode, all-madden and I don't mess with sliders.

I'm aware.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Patch #1 Available, Post Impressions Here

Anyone notice a difference in hook zone, LB zone recognition/responsivness on routes over the middle?

Was that addressed at all, is that coming in a 2nd patch? or do we just have to hold our nose and tolerate it for this year.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Patch #1 Available, Post Impressions Here

Thank you for your solid impression. (even if you are a Sox fan ) I look forward to what you and CB have to say.

lol...thanks

Actually CB made a good point that I forgot to mention-fatigue. DEFINITELY more noticeable.

Also, I've gotten more separation on some deep balls. I thought it was placebo at first, but I suppose this is likely due to the WR release issue that was fixed...which until I saw LBzrule mention it, I forgot it was in the patch! Should definitely add a better risk/reward to press coverages (which might have been too effective prior to the patch).

None that I've noticed. LBs still seem to have plenty of brain-dead moments in coverage overall, I'm afraid.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Patch #1 Available, Post Impressions Here

have you guys notice you can hear the crowd now and the replays dont cut anymore. good job on the patch guys. now wait for the roster update and franchise here we come

my replays still randomly cut...i dont know why? maybe you guys know something I dont? I went after my game against the 9ers with the Bengals, and went to save a sweeeeeet playaction pass to Ocho in the endzone. Nope got cut after the ball was almost to Ocho's hands...i was hopin that'd be fixed...no biggie was just hopin tho

On the default helmets, at least for me and celg35, there were these hideous blue squares where the numbers should be on the back

I saw it on the ravens too...they have white #s on the back of their helmets, but instead you got these big white squares instead

I don't usually play with either of those teams, but I checked on it. I can confirm that there are blocks where the numbers should be for both those teams.

Only on the home unis for the Patriots, road's are ok:

Re: Madden NFL 10 Patch #1 Available, Post Impressions Here

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.

yeah, but even at 10 minutes or 9 minutes, the games are ridiculously offensive oriented. Most games I supersim end up like college games, with scores in the 30's, 40's, and 50's.

The reason I ask is because supersimming is a way of getting accurate franchise stats until the patch comes out, but unforunately the stats become a little outrageous due to the game being offensive oriented.

Hopefully in the 2nd patch. Still dropping deep in their hook zones as of now.

Sorry if this was acknowledged already, but do Right Defensive Ends get sacks more often with the new patch?

yeah me neither, but i let the patch download while i was in the shower this morning...came out and saw redskins vs ravens, and was like "wtf is on the ravens helmets?" so i thought maybe something was up with my disk or something, so i cleaned it...but when i saw the guy who posted bout the pats, i was like....dang. so i figured id toss out what i saw too...
