Is there an option to play with Breast Cancer Awareness Month Mode in Exhibition, ala Super Bowl and Holidays, like they added last year via patch? Just curious, as not always do I play a franchise, but still like to see the October realism. Thanks! Later

What a joke. EA is an embarrassment.

So we've had one guy say that the patch worked in current Franchises and another that did not. Which is it?

Glad you PS3 guys got some issues sorted out. I was hoping the 360 patch would get out early too, but I guess not.

So many of you are expecting things this patch never even claimed to fix.

Played an online game with a buddy. There was a pretty obvious catch on the sideline called incomplete, challenged and reversed. It was nice to see that!!

Also, we couldn't put our finger but something about it felt more fluid. It seemed like the speed threshold may have changed, cutting felt better, etc. Patrick Willis blew threw the line and got a sack for him. Toddman had a really nice return. I'm going to go on a limb and say it feels like the weight of the ratings has been increased slightly... I.E. if your player has 99 strength it's going to show more, 99 accel seems to show more, etc.

I'm pleased. Also had a couple incompletions that went right off receivers with low catch rating, same way with the defenders picking it off. It just seems more true to ratings.

Does the patch affect current franchises? I really wanna start one, but the 360 patch isn't out yet.

How's the gameplay? Any significant differences besides the qb sneak glitch? The other issues seem to have been cleaned up nicely. Did any tuner release also for the super lbs?

Hope this doesn't get me kicked off of OS, but that's a stupid rule.

How are we not allowed to criticize the developers of the game if we aren't happy with what they've done? EA isn't a person, and the developers' jobs are to give us the customers a product we want and are happy with. I don't see how saying that this patch is fail is necessarily a bad thing, or should be deemed as breaking the terms and conditions.

Disclaimer: I cannot download the patch yet, so cannot comment, I just find this an interesting aspect of OS. Why aren't we allowed to? It's not like we're victimising a person, and it's not like some of these comments with regards to EA are without base.

Sweet! I just tried to re-create my custom playbook because EA claimed they fixed the formation BS that they couldn't get right the first time only to find out all the added shotgun formations go under the Hail Mary formation.

Well done EA....You never stop letting me down. Keep up the great work.

There is a huge difference in criticizing the developers and bashing them i am assuming if you you criticize constructively then that would be fine but to straight out bash them and call them names that is a huge no no if i am wrong i am sure i will be corrected.

I can verify it does work for existing chises. Game 1 in my Giants chise was always a rain game and now it isn't. Player roles still don't work if your roster was edited before hand though.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Title Update #2 Available Now For PS3, Post Impressions Here

Im hearing people are still capable of blocking FGs and PAT's, can anyone confirm this?

Why in the world would this be changed? This happens, and more often then people think. You see it in one game nearly every week. It's still very tough to do, at least for me. But, I've always been able to get a few blocked FG's and punts every year. I just like that occassionally you'll see a player you're not controlling get in there.

Although, no blocked punts for me yet...which used to be the easier of the 2. Has anyone been able to block punts? I can't even get close!

It does seem more fluid. One thing I've noticed is the QB being able to actually throw the ball away instead of taking forever and taking a sack. It's nice to see... I think I've even seen animations with QBs throwing it wildly while being hit (better than taking a sack)

Maybe I'm just seeing things

I expected that. It's nice to know I won't have to restart my Steelers Franchise in year 4
