Initial impressions are that AFL mode is awesome! Finally some content worth dropping the money on in a sports game. Broadcast camera is sweet although I prefer using the zoom camera I can find myself watching some cpu vs cpu games and tinkering with coach mode some while using this camera. . . Another thing I noticed is that my NFL Films music now plays during the game as before it would play all the EA Trax that would play even though I have none of them selected in the menus.

Only played 1 quarter,but I finally saw the refs come together on a Fitz catch by the sideline...both ruled he was in bounds....I had NEVER seen this one before (sideline rulings)

I am currently using Waaaaazups sliders,and I totally forgot to check out the sliders,but I was still able to generate a decent ground game in the 1st quarter.

I won't be using the broadcast cam,it's really tough to gauge passing routes and such. The Cards scored a td to end the 1st,and it was nice to be able to make some adjustments on the pat.

Overall in my limited time,it seems to be better than before. Hopefully somebody will give the sliders a tweak,and see if lb's in the 34 can actually get some sacks.

First off, Kayotick, you can't have pics in sigs.

Secondly, I feel like a newb. I got the patch, got the DLC, restarted my game, and I can't get into AFL mode. I can use the jerseys, but I can't get the mode going

Re: Madden NFL 10 Patch #1 Available, Post Impressions Here

Just reposting a few of my comments from the other threads -

Good news - OLD replays (from before the patch) can be re-uploaded to easportsworld with the improved quality! They also take twice as long because it doesn't immediately go through the "uploading highlight" part (maybe that explains the low quality)

Pre-emptive strike - BC does not appear to work in practice mode (with defense or without). Works fine in regular games.

Dunno if it was there before, but the AFL legacy pack is now on the Madden Shop as well (the unlock file for it, basically). $7.00

Sorry it's nothing more substantial, but it's late and I'm just trying to get a few of my highlight videos changed over to the new quality before bed.

BJF fixed! You need to press R2 to activate it before you begin selecting the uniforms.

"AFL Legacy Mode" was on the main menu until I downloaded the AFL Legacy Pack. Now it's not there anymore. How do I get into it?

i must say the AFL content is awesome!! kinda wished they would have gotten some "old heads" in to do the commentary instead of collingsworth and co. .. it woulda gave it that true old school feel :wink:

Re: Madden NFL 10 Patch #1 Available, Post Impressions Here

dont know about the afl content but i think that the game feels to me any way bit more smooth and i noticed in just one game of playing with the patch that the catch logic as improved and ive had refs converge to discuss if it was a catch or not. never seen that before. the broadcast camera is meh IMO its ok but i wasnt one of the people that was looking forward to it so, but its cool to play on coach mode i guess.

edit: the outside pursuit angles need alot of work still i was able to run all over the defense still

[marcoyk]

Nice! Can't wait. I'm really looking forward to trying out the broadcast cam.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Patch #1 Available, Post Impressions Here

hopefully next year we can get Jon Gruden and Chris Collingsworth.

Jon Gruden isn't even who calls games with Chris Collinsworth. It's Al Michaels. Besides, wishful thinking doesn't belong in this thread, this is for impressions and stuff that has do with the patch.

Is the 49er helmet color fixed in this patch???
