Madden NFL 11 Title Update #5 Available Now, Post Impressions Here (PS3, 360)

[youALREADYknow]

I still don't see anyone mentioning any fundamental changes in the game engine or bug fixes that typically justify a "patch". This sounds more like one of the tuner sets from NCAA or NHL than an actual patch.

If that's true, then there's no reason for an offline franchise mode player such as myself to download the update and ruin a perfectly good slider set.

Am I missing something here? Was any actual defect fixed with update #5 such as Gameplanning, Intro Cutscenes, etc?

Nope, it was just a small tune up.

simply put, no

all this patch was just a minor gameplay fix that was primairily benificial to user v user or online gamers, im primairily an offline gamer, so these improvements haven't swayed me one way or another, i still enjoy playing this game...until just now, just finished my superbowl run against the colts with my 9ers, went to save a blocked feildgoal and it froze on me, darnit!!!

Holy crap...excuse me.

Playmakers custom sliders.

Sorry to dis the brand. LOL.

I only got to play 1 game so far, Eagles(me) vs Cowboys(AI)I won 24-13. I played on My Skill and 7 min. quarters with 15 sec. run off. The running game was tougher for me, McCoy had 18 att for 78 yds. Felix Jones broke a 71 yd run but otherwise was held in check. I thought the passing for me was a lot easier, guys were more wide open then normal. Like I said, this was only 1 game. PS I did see more gang tackling!

Ohhh Sorry. I meant you do not see crazy beatings in most games like NCAA football

Sure you get some blow outs but how many times have the bears been blown out.

Point is that sim does not mean winning 98% of the time

If you want to tell me you are a .500 team on all pro then you are just one in a million of average madden players.

Is hard to lose even trying on all pro. Is been horrible for ever on Madden.

I hate it

I thought this was supposed to help defense? I'm playiing on All-Pro with slight increases in hum difficulty to passing, rush def, and pass def. CPU sliders on default.

Well I am being told that on All Pro you get a good sim experience.

545 yards for AR and 333 for Vick in one game seems more like unsim

Ohh that is right. Only in All Pro
