Madden 09 Patch #2 Released, Impressions Here

[Hunsy34]

Field deg. seems to be better, dolphins jersey's were pretty dirty, penatly sliders can be turned down around the 70's and seem to be fairly realistic. CPU actually turns up field, robo QB not sure I played 5 minute quarters only incompletes from pennington were interceptions, false start the quaterback will run up the middle of the field which is kinda dumb, turned running def all the way up to 20 and computer could still not run on me, i like the extra couple seconds to adjust my defence but its maybe a little too long during punts and field goals, and does anyone notice that when you hit triangle and right on a defence of adjustment nobody really moves over the guy they are suppose to cover. Linebackers never go over the man they are covering and DB's wont slider over really either? patch #2 made the game a lot better just need the AI sliders now.

Re: Madden 09 Patch #2 Released, Impressions Here

no i just simmed it to check. officially i'm still in Year 1, in the NFC title game. those stats i posted were the reg. season stats.

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

Those were simmed stats? With all the complaints about receivers not getting enough yards etc... this are double what a great season would be .

W/ the patch my game has frozen three times. Twice while doing create a team and another when starting a new franchise.

Re: Madden 09 Patch #2 Released, Impressions Here

Alright...I went ahead and Simmed clear up through 8 seasons. No Freezing. Looks good for right now, we'll see what happens once I start playing through it, and being more thorough in what I do.

My best advice is...delete your old franchise if you already had one, and start over completely. Delete all Madden Data if necessary. If anything changes, I will post here.

Re: Madden 09 Patch #2 Released, Impressions Here

I'd start with just the franchise file itself. Do that, Sim through 3-5 seasons and see if it freezes. If not, then start an actual franchise to play...and see what happens from there.

If you freeze while simming, delete EVERYTHING Madden related, and try.

If that doesn't work, then it's on EA's head.

These updates apply to existing franchises correct?

Re: **Official Madden 09 (Post Patch 2) Impressions Thread**

I don't know if you have tried this , but I saw somewhere on here someone sugested moving into slider up towards 25 or 28 instead of o. I did this and it does seem to help.

"Into" slider? I'm confused. Is this a typo? What slider are you referring to?

Re: Madden 09 Patch #2 Released, Impressions Here

A complete shot in the dark here, but with all the "little things" some believe they may be seeing, has anyone noticed anything different regarding fatigue post-patch #2?

I know that wasn't an item being worked on, but I'm just curious.

No, apparently you have to start all over again. It was supposed to work with existing franchises...but doesn't now.

Re: Madden 09 Patch #2 Released, Impressions Here

Can you continue your franchise with the patch? Is the cpu players running out of bounds after a catch fixed too??
