    Re: Madden 09 Patch #2 Released, Impressions Here

    i finished up my franchise to the offseason of season 1 after getting the patch and nobody who did good actually progressed. Newman had l13 INTS and went down an overall point wtf.

    and TO had MONSTER numbers and didn't go up or down in anything.

    also i noticed most of the players who changed weren't impact players at all. and i didn't have any real long injuries and everyones injury went up at least 6 with most being 8

    T.O. had in Season 1

    206 catches, 4310 yards, 47 TD's

    20.9 avg., 269.3 yd per game, 1848 YAC, 8.9 YAC AVG, 10 drops and his longest was 92yds

    how in the hell did he not move up or down one point...

      I have notice with the new patch that crowd noise volume is increased and it effect the opposing offense. I was playing Panthers vs. Vikings and the crowd noise cause two false starts.

        Yeah I finished up a game with the Pats at home and the turf field looked a little worn. Could be in my own head, gotta check it out again.

          I Dl the patch this morning before going to work. I went into practice mode for like 5 minutes, so my observation is based on a very limited sample size.

          -I notice that Goal Line QB sneak is not as effective as before (when you could net 2 yards guaranteed), especialy when the LB's are blitzing. Can someone confirm this?
          -Man on man defense toughened up a bit...or maybe it's placebo effect.
          -4 man rush create a bit more pressure than before...placebo effect?

          I should've called out sick and stay home and play!

            I'm still playing pre-patch I have seen numerous PI calls, and a reasonable number of Holding calls (all penalties set at 95).

              Had you already started this franchise before the patch? If so, then this is probably why you did not see any changes. I read that you would to wait until the following off-season (Year 2 in your case) for the progression/regression changes to take place.

                damn because other players progressed. my FB who i NEVER use went up to a 88 overall. it just seemed like the players who actually did big things got the shaft. even before the offseason mode when i simmed threw the playoffs romo went up on his accuracy. but TO never moved.

                  Not sure how this worked before, but I'm 2 plays into a game with the Pats. I kick off, James Sanders gets the tackle. First play from srimmage, completed pass and Bruschi and A. Thomas both in on the tackle. I checked the stats because I was curious to see which one of them got the tackle and turns out they both got one. So 2 plays, and my team has 3 tackles.

                  Has Madden always been giving a tackle to both guys on combined tackles or is this new?

                    Did you sim this season? Was it a season you played but waited to move into the offseason until the patch came out?

                    My understanding is, if you were already in a franchise, the progression fix wouldn't work until season 2 offseason.

                        but overall im satisfied with the progression/regression system. im ready to start my texans dynasty

                        I wouldn't expect a player to lose AWR due to age...it should actually increase with the experience gained thru the years of playing. The losing of physical attributes yes, by all means...but not awareness., especially Peyton Manning.

                        75% of the Earths surface is covered by water......the remaining 25% is covered by Ichiro.

                          I was playing at Tennessee and it degraded preety well.

                          It was kinda like the degradation you see on a fall or winter day when the grass is really rough.

                            That is exactly the way I understand it as well. The season has to be started fresh for the progression to work. The Franchise does not have to be restarted but there are situations where it does not take until the start of the 2nd season post patch.


                            Wow i just made that more confusing than it really is.

                                Not sure about previous Maddens but pre-patch #2 it does indeed give tackles to all who were involved with bringing that player down. Same with sacks. I took down a QB a couple weeks ago with Schobel and Stroud. Both received a sack. Which is better than nothing. In years past it would be only one player. I realize 1/2 sacks and tackles should be given.....but this is better than nothing.
