    Re: Madden 09 Patch #1 Released, Discuss Here (360, PS3)

    Well, I know it wasn't claimed to be apart of this patch, but I've not had a freeze since the patch. I'm keeping my fingers crossed this remains the case cause I do love the game itself.

    That said, I am disappointed to learn there is no preseason player progression. That is a little disappointing, but at least now I know to just sim preseason games.

      I get a couple false starts a game, as well as a hold or two. But I haven't seen any facemasking, pass interference or defense of holding.

        I've seen all of these, although I'd agree that the frequency isn't very realistic. This is really my only beef with Madden...sliders. Do I understand why they'd reduce penalties, yes. I know many casual (and even not so casual) gamers don't want constant penalties and I completely get that. I just want to see the sliders have more effect. I can play with penalty sliders maxed or almost completely reduced and the results seem to be the same (although clipping seems to change more than others). Anyway, I just wish the sliders had a more tangable effect.

          I can agree with that. Thankfully, and hopefully, the "effect" a slider has can be updated in a patch if they choose to do so. I'd like to see a few more Pass Interference calls, truthfully.

            Maybe its just the game i had but i'm noticing the QB's are not as accurate as before the patch. I played the Seahawks and Hassleback was all over the place with his passes( over throwing throwing wide) I don't know if it had anything to do with the patch or it was just that game. I played a good amount of games and i have not seen the CPU QB's ever throw like that

              Maybe if you set all penalties to 95 then more will get called like in NCAA 09. Has anyone tried this?

                I have. It really doesn't make a difference. Given how they don't work, I don't know why they even bother to give the illusion of having them in there in the first place.

                  agreed... I've never seen a Clipping call in Madden in my life. Yet the slider is at 100 or 95... ridiculous.

                    I dunno, I get what seems like one false start on every drive.
                    That makes for a rough game for me since I lose yards on every running play so I'm usually faced with a 3rd and eons.
                    I have also had pass interference and holding called on the CPU every so often. Not as often as it probably should though.

                        I am 2-3 in my Ravens franchise, and am middle of the league in penalties. My last game against the Titans I saw my first clipping penalty of the season (which is fine considering it is almost never called in real life). I ended up with 7 penalties for 72 yards, that included the 15 yard clipping, a defensive pass interference, 3 false starts, 1 offsides, and a facemask. The Titans had 2 holdings, a false start, and 2 encroachment/offsides penalties.

                        I have my penalties all set to 95. I am simply not seeing any issues with the penalties in this game.

                          I have gotten a clipping call. Like Mill said it really doesn't happen all that much in the NFL so i am ok with it

                            I've roughed the passer a few times (mainly out of frustration) and have had a tiny amount of holding calls, but nothing close to the number of calls you'd see in an NFL game.

                              Point blank question for Ian: Are you guys willing and/or able to fix fatigue and penalty frequency proper in the second patch?
