**Official Madden Post-Patch Discussion**

[Steeler99]

I plan to pick up Madden this weekend and make the switch from NCAA, so I just want to verify I have this Patch deal right?

I don't play online, but my kids do have "live" accounts. Can I log on using their live account while Madden game is playing, and patch will automatically download? Then when I log in regularily using my profile the patch will still be in effect for my hum vs cpu games?

Thanks for any assistance, I appreciate it!

I just started my first game post-patch. New franchise, interceptions at 0. I intercepted Alex Smith 3 times in his first 5 passes and I've already fumbled twice. This is only in one quarter, (8 minutes).

Small sample, I know. Just thought it was weird.

I also had the following happen:

I have 3rd and goal from the 9
I throw a TD
Defense called for encroachment
My 2 options: Decline (4th and goal from the 9) or Accept (3rd and goal from the 5).

Shouldnt I get the touchdown if I decline?

wow make that 4 picks. Smith is 3-7 with 4 interceptions against me (Jets).

Do you have to restart the Xbox after downloading the patch or something?

As long as your Xbox is connected to the internet, as soon as you boot the thing up, it'll prompt you to download the update.

the patch never said it would stop interceptions... it said it will make fumbles happen at the correct situations....

try and use the sliders posted by many members.... I dont get picks on the cpu by using my sliders

No. Correct me if I'm wrong too please. But the reason why it was called back was because the defense touched somebody on offense before the ball was snapped ruling the play dead.

If it was an offsides call, then you could decline and get the TD.

I think that you are correct.
