Madden 09 Patch #2 Released, Impressions Here

[countryboy]

Re: Madden 09 Patch #2 Released, Impressions Here

this is why I am so happy that they allowed us to make pre-snap adjustments on defense.

In the first video, we changed coverage assignments from zone to man and altered a blitz scheme that honestly wouldn't be possible pre-patch. I was able to move guys around and when they sent the receiver in motion, I changed Huff from zone coverage to man coverage and he got the pick. I was able to make Redman throw the ball before he was ready.


In the second video, I overloaded the right hand side of their offensive line and brought the house. They were confused on whom to block, leaving Burgess free to punish Ryan. Ryan suffered a few bruised ribs. I also was able to change some defensive assignments and manually double team Jenkins.

Re: Madden 09 Patch #2 Released, Impressions Here

i told myself id wait until patch 2 came out to buy and now that its out, i think I will. my protest is over. Thanks for the impressions.. the game that shouldve been released is now out. good stuff

[boooey]

Re: Madden 09 Patch #2 Released, Impressions Here

with the proper slider adjustments, and the 2nd patch.. i gotta say that I am really liking this game now.

I really killed EA when this game first came out, and have the infractions to prove it

but now.. I think think this is a really great game, and I'm having a ton of fun playing it.

I think some of it may just be a placebo affect after the 2nd patch, but it really does feel like a different game now.

Credit to Phil and Ian again for listening to us this time around!
I think I may have played my last game of NFL 2k5.

I don't know, I didn't ask him.

Seriously, I have no idea why its like that in the vid. It wasn't that way during the actual play.

Does the sliders need to be reset? I been using someone's sliders on here. I'm bout to get on the game wonder if i should reset the sliders

Re: Madden 09 Patch #2 Released, Impressions Here

Holy crap...I remember why I stopped playing this game. Is it something I'm doing? HONESTLY? QBs are connecting at WILL!

I either need tips or I need to be done with this game. I love NCAA and NHL this year, but my real love is NFL football and this game drives me insane. I can't take it. Plus, I have next to no control on the placement of my passes...

The thing is I had controlled the QBs with the chiefs franchise I have, but for some reason the last two games (I'm my Giants), Bulger and Campbell arer 11 for 12 after the first quarter!

Ugh...

Oh, but field degredation looks great.

I just got hammered by the Redskins not to long ago. Jason Campbell was unreal and their backup was to. I couldn't stop the pass for nothing, it was like my defenders were dumbed down or something.

???? You CAN lead and put the ball where you need too when you pass. Use the left stick and when you throw move the stick in the direction you want.

As far as cpu connecting at will, go to slider forum and use "Heelfans" slider set. They work great.

I just finished my first game post patch, it was a pre-season game against the Pats....

Brady was 17-11 with 1 TD

Cassell was 11-1 !!!!! with 2 INTS. LOL

I can live with those numbers any day.

But some games the cpu WILL get a great completion %..it happens.

Pennington just went 21-19 or something like that against the Pats last weekend....

Re: Madden 09 Patch #2 Released, Impressions Here

Anybody ......

How can I verify that I have the latest patch (#2)???

I thought I saw that we can go to a certain screen and verify we have version 1.2 .... but I'm not sure where that is? I appreciate any help because I don't want to start a franchise until I know I have the latest patch.

Thanks!

Check Brett Farve's stats.

Re: Madden 09 Patch #2 Released, Impressions Here

This might be off the topic a little but I am watching Madden Nation on ESPN2 and it looks to me that there is field degradation on this episode Im watching. I wonder if they had the patch when they were playing? Also whats up with all the white dudes with the dirty straps and bling....wow...sad.

[Ankido]

Re: Madden 09 Patch #2 Released, Impressions Here

I just have a few questions?

Does the CPU make correct decisions in the 4th quarter. I mean like doing onside kicks, or running out of bounds to stop the clock etc?

Has the CPU running game improved at all, as far as overall yards, and yards per attempt.

Is their any freezing at any point during the game. (Franchise, or Single game?)

Thanks

Yes sir they do. It annoys me though when the CPU has no chance in hell to make a comeback and they still call timeouts to stop the clock. I just noticed after beating the Packers with the Bears the robo QB is not there anymore. Much easier to pick and deflect passes. I think it takes too long for the CPU to snap the ball, that's just my opinion.
