The things that NEED to be in Patch #1

[xylocaine]

While playing ranked online games last night, I noticed many of my highlights were not saved in the highlight section. I had a safety for example that I wanted to view again and it said no highlight available or something. Last year you could watch every play.

The more I play this version of madden I scratch my head, it seems the things that they got right this year they have messed up for some reason. Just like someone else pointed out about challenges online, they don't even show the replay just the two coaches??? why would we want to see that.

Also they need to improve the framerate of the online games, seems much more sluggish than last year.
Come on EA this is a lazy effort.

Also please give me a setting to turn of the offensive and defensive coordinator in ranked online games, that text blocks the screen. And give me the option of turning off gameflow so I don't have to press x every time just to get to my play book. Thought this was suppose to be more stream line but calling plays takes more steps as well as the strategy pad.

So far this Madden is a step back from the giant leap Madden 10 took.

Agreed. How the heck are you supposed to play D in this game when the passes are thrown at light speed? They are impossible to react to..most of them that is.

id ask please patch some defense into this game

and like the poster above me said QBs all throw the ball with way too good. i wanna tell the diff between brady and chad henne .

broken tackles or pro tak falling and rolling for and extra 4 yards every other play has to be toned down a lil bit

1)fix the defense
2)fix the defense
3)fix the defense

[Kushmir]

1) fix pursuit angles

2) safety play and reaction time (give us the safety play from Madden 10--it was perfect)

3) more deflections and dislodges (especially on passes in coverage) more plays on the ball by the defense in general. defenders seem unaware of the ball.

4) more deflections by the DL at the LOS

5) less broken tackles

*stares at people asking for dirty jerseys when we've got REAL gameplay issues..*

This X1000. I dont have any lag when playing any other game I own. This game plays incredible smooth off-line. However, on-line, almost every game is a complete lag fest. It throws off the timing of every facet of the game and makes it very difficult to play.

Please fix the on-line stability. It needs it in a BIG way!

Also, the human pass defense needs a big boost. Players are running wide open all over the field on drags and slant passes.

Xlocaine, when playing on-line you can turn off the coordinator audio and sub text by just turning them off in your game settings. Also, to play a game without gameflow you need to go to the head to head screen and hit X to bring up the options. Then change the play calling to "traditional".

You have to do this every time you go to find a game because it always sets to gameflow as default.

Hope this helps!
