Nothing new to report, but I played the Chiefs at home with my Bills and there was no rain. Before the patch, it always rained. My next item to look for in this patch is better looking fields at Ralph Wilson Stadium. The parts of the field that are shaded had the black splotches...hopefully, that is cleaned up in this patch.

When you check Ralph Wilson, let us know if they changed the endzones to blue. Thanks!

you inject it into the cache folder on your HDD, you can use programs like Xplorer360, Xport360, Modio etc.

Alrighty. Thanks for the help.

Gotta love how now that they "fixed" the Turf, the Tampa Bay Bucs now play with Black Helmets...

No blue endzones, I guess we will have to wait for next year.

People who aren't experiencing the pop, are ou using HiFi audio systems?? I think the pop is MUCH more pronounced when your sound is running through a receiver with at least 5.1 surround sound.

The pop is very noticeable on my tv speakers

The Pop was noticeable from day 1 with me...I thought my connection was loose on my receiver or something, but nope...just:

EA Sports...it's in the game!!

It bums me out that after not buying Madden for 3 years, that I still find the SAME sort of issues that were found on PS2 Madden's as well.

I won't be buying again...

- Overall, the entire game seems to play better (less stuttering in games/menus, etc.)
- I've played two games so far & noticed no popping sounds (there was a plethora of them pre-update 2)
- Fields look better
- Custom playbooks are much better. No more of each formation having their own category. However, I do wish we could order the formations... like have the base defenses first then nickle, sub/dime/dollar, & quarter. It is still a little weird... it can be ordered like 3-4, 4-3, sub, goalline, special teams, quarter, 4-6, nickle, etc.

I tried creating a playbook and as I added Shotgun Formation they all ended up under the Hail Mary Formation. Have you actually tried creating a playbook?

I played a franchise game. PLaying with All-Madden custom sliders. 13 minute quarters, 45 speed threshold.


The fields look 10 times better. Now I see what everyone was flipping out about. Honestly...I did not notice it too much but now that they cleaned up the fields it looked like oil slicks pre patch.


Gameplay was a little tighter.

Audio on the field and crowd is better.

Play by play is still an abomination. I don't know what they fixed there as I heard the same mistakes and comedy that I am already used to. So much so I tune it out and lowered Gus and Chris to a measly 50 so have some background chatter without actually having to listen to it.

Audio popping is still loud and clear.

I have not tried out custom playbooks yet. And I never edited a player in my chise thus far as I did not want to trip the bug. Now that it is fixed I can start tweaking my players.

A minor patch.

Almost done with year 2 and will be going right into year three.

Which is 2 more years than I put in on Madden 11.


Overall I have never had any issues with gameplay. I am glad the game looks better, and I wish the audio popping was able to be addressed via patch (I think it is a disc/master defect).

First freeze I've had outside of Superstar mode loading, first game post-patch. End of 3rd Q in franchise mode.

Cool, EA!!!!
