5th question on the link.

Will be fixed in title update #2.

One gripe that I have currently is that the CPU DL plays way better than the CPU controlled DL on a user controlled team. I get pressured almost instantly, while my DL lets the CPU QB sit in the pocket all day.

Another thing is that all big runs come from tosses and pitches. In All pro football I've broken an iso run for 65 yards and a TD. I've never had this happen to me in Madden.

Hate how a CB will mirror a WRs before the WR makes his cut. The overall coverage I think needs a lot of work. I don't even run man coverage anymore because without a good pass rush it is too easy to pick apart.

Gamepla wise, there are just a lot of things in this game that frustrate me, these being a few. I have really enjoyed the online franchise though.

I don't care if they won the last 10 Superbowls in a row, why should we be forced to go to that team?

Settings > Game Options > Favorite Team

Nothing changes except it'll go to that team by Default in Play Now and Franchise.

This is my #1 problem w/M10. I can pick a 10 man blitz play and even show blitz prior to snap to get them all up on the line and they all somehow are picked up and stuffed and never get there on time. The CPU QB can sit there for 10 seconds to find an open man, regardless.

The more I send, all I'm doing is risking a big play and reducing the release time of the CPU QB, not because he's feeling pressure, but because it's easier to find a wide open man.

When they do finally get to the QB he gets rid of the ball almost every time, this I see they put some attention to in Patch #2 notes, so hopefully this will help at least get some sacks.

On the flip side when I'm on offense, I have about 1.2 seconds to get the ball off no matter what they send or how many they send. I think they could send one man and he'd still somehow be in my QB's face in a little over a second. No matter what I do on the sliders, nor what offensive line I put together, it seems to have zero effect.

This is unfortunate because I like what Madden has done in regards to passing and having to perform read and recognition to find the open man, but the problem is I never get to enjoy it because I have to chuck the ball before my QB gets face planted.

My #2 issue was pursuit angles, I see they are attacking that as well in Patch #2. I'm hoping this helps with the multitude of Pick 6s that occur, where it's obvious everyone is running to where the guy with the football WAS, and not where he's GOING.

This regards offline franchise.

The online community is completely broken. I played 3 opponents in a row and all went for it on 4th and long. I stop them, they keep going for it, and they get it eventually. I'm tired of these idiots who don't follow football at all. Madden 11 should force them to punt in quarters 1-3. It's honestly ridiculous. Trying to find someone to play sim is way too hard. I'm also tired of players going right through the opposing player while trying to make a tackle for loss.

Is there a fix for the helmet issue yet? A while back I saw some posts about the first patch creating blocks on the backs of some teams helmets instead of the numbers. I also read the patch created other gameplay issues so I have yet to download it. It sucks because everytime I turn on the game I have to refuse the patch and get disconnected from xbox live. Have these issues been fixed or will I have to wait until the second patch comes out?
