Madden 09 Roster & Patch Update

[stilts1844]

I've seen it asked a number of times but haven't seen an answer... do we have to restart our franchise now that the patch is out for 360? thanks

Can someone breakdown exactly what this mornings patch actually targets? Thank you so much.

the very first post in this thread breaks down whats in both this patch and the 2nd patch as well as DLC.

I certainly hope they patch the issue that is causing so many end-of-the-game disconnects on field goals and whatnot before mid-September. Our league will not start up until they confirm they have addressed this and I would hate to have to wait a whole month for this concern to be addressed, especially since it is affecting both the PS3 and X360 versions online.

We need more information on how Patch # 2 is coming. Can any EA Devs shed some light?

[Steven123]

How about releasing a complete game?

Just some suggested fixes and additions for the wii version.

Normal Gameplay:
1. Superstar camera view (need more than 1 option when controlling superstar)
2. I've noticed this on the past few madden games. If you run a 3-4 defense with offside penalties on, before the snap when the outside LBs are doing their little animated pointing thing they usually step offside. Not much of a prob, but if the QB times it correctly its an offside penalty. Just thought the programmers should look into fixing the outside LBs' awareness of the line of scrimmage while doing their pre-snap animations. (does it online aswell)
3. Obviously the franchise progressions and realism could use a little more effort.
4. Ability to skip celebrations for hardcore players (I dont mind the celebration thing)
5. Create a team feature again. Used to love creating a weak team then building it up in Franchise mode.
6. Tackling, big hits, and breaking tackles are slightly overpowered. (they dont cancel each other out surprisingly)
7. When using some motion controlled features for the RBs, the RB will just come to a complete stop for about 2 seconds (happens online aswell)


Online:
1. Online lob passing glitch
2. Don't know if this is glitch or not but I've noticed it while playing online. In the past few games either me or my opponent received an abnormal amount of penalties (facemasks, offsides, false starts, holding, ect.) while the other team received just about non.
3. Ability to edit your profile's team dept charts before entering any games. Obviously not talking about picking up FAs or trading, just altering dept charts to the user's preferences. Maybe just a new feature on the online menu.
4. Ability to uncheck fair play on ranked games so hardcore or risky players can go for it on 4th and inches. (maybe make ability only available to higher ranked players)
5. Ability to create online leagues like Xbox (asking alot)

WOW! Thats good news. I can't wait to get the patch later today.

I got the patch for HC but now it actually runs more choppy.

Hmmm...

Anywho- this is good news and I REALLY hope that patch #2 makes it out a LOT sooner than Sept!
