Will Madden Get A 3rd Patch?

[Romeclone]

First off, I don't remember anyone complaining about back up running backs. Not saying that people were not, I just don't remember it. In other words, it was not that big of a deal to most Madden ballers.

Now you have major outcry over stats. Whatever the outcry was over backup Rb's is very small to the outcry you have now.

I'm sorry, but that just does not make any sense, that EA would try and fix a small problem with Backup running backs, to only create a HUGE problem with starting RB's all to appease the "fans". They would have just left it as it was and told you what the results were when they changed it. (2,500 yard runners) And ALL PEOPLE would have said, well, f-that, just keep it as is, we don't want that garbage.

So, my opinon is...

A. EA busted it on purpose to give those bitching about stats a big middle finger.

B. EA broke it and could not fix it, then released it anyway.

NOBODY can argue that the stats are better now than they were before. So what was the point of EA messing around with stats then. The stats they have now are the worst of any NFL game in history, and that goes back to the NES days. So what was the point?

Funny as you've just described sports gaming. Welcome to the world of yearly releases.

I guess the your right. The outcry was very small as they addressed that issue on a FAQ blog on their website.

The point was to fix the outcry over teams not having rushing TD's in an entire season, passing stats being inflated due to the lack of rushing the football in simmed games, to fix the backups ypc for teams that run two back offenses, to fix the lack of sacks by OLB that were in 3-4 defenses, to fix the total tackles so that the user actually has a chance to lead the league, and to fix the low amount of tackles that were accumulated by CB's.

That was the reason the stats were fixed and stats as a whole were a HUGE outcry amongst not only this community but various others.

And as a person that played multiple franchise years prior to the 2nd patch and am in the midst of my 2nd one post patch #2, I can tell you that I prefer the stats the way they are now prior to how they were before. I'd much rather deal with one or two backs getting 2,000 yards a year and one or two guys breaking the sack record(I had no one in my 1st season btw) than the poor stats that were available prior.

Thanks CB, you remembered more than I did.

in '09 and before, the RB TD stats were never as low as they were pre-patch #2 in '10..they did something different this year, and there is no way you can convince me otherwise

i wasnt literally asking you why they messed w/ it, it was more a question out of frustration

I don't want to try to convince you otherwise, sounds impossible.

As for the last paragraph, hard to determine on the net.
