Yep, for some reason my uniforms don't get dirty anymore. Played two games as Jet against Miami in the rain. After three quarters, the uniforms were still white. I remember pre-patch, I played one game as Falcons against Eagles in the rain. After about a quarter and a half, the uniforms were so dirty that I could barely tell which team is which. Now after the patch, I don't see any dirt in the rainy game.

Its only on the kickoffs it seems like they aren't dirty if you notice..try it again and you'll see by the 3rd of 4th qtr they will definitly be dirty...kickers hardly ever are dirty...

Re: Madden 09 Patch #2 Released, Impressions Here

is there any way to get the cpu to hike the ball faster? its annoying having to wait for him to hike when i already have my plays done

The fast ball-snapping was one of the complaints, which they fixed by slowing it down. Now you want it sped up again?

huh???? The fast ball-snapping was one of the complaints, which they fixed by slowing it down, now you're complaining it's too slow??? Am I missing something here????

lol...

I hope they tune it next year though. It's a good temp fix, but it's a bit goofy to have you wait 10-15 seconds on a FG attempt. Or to see the CPU let the clock run out while trailing by a score because they haven't hit their "random time over 5 seconds" window. It's still better than what was going on before the patch though.

I think you are REALLY in the minority there

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

Franchise freezing is definitely not fixed. I'm totally bummed out. I downloaded the patch and restarted the console, loaded my franchise and tried to train, but nope. I know I've got the patch, and I know its working in some way because the CPU is taking longer to snap. But yeah, the biggest issue doesn't seem to have been fixed.

You may have to erase that franchise and start another.

Re: Madden 09 Patch #2 Released, Impressions Here

not only is the franchise freezing NOT fixed, but the IN GAME freezing isnt fixed, either.

I started completely fress, deleted ALL saved madden 09 data from my PS3.....downloaded the patch, and the roster update

Game froze in game 3 straight times in my first regular season game....(I simmed the pre-season)

NOW IM PISSED

Re: Madden 09 Patch #2 Released, Impressions Here

This game is garbage. I started a new franchise after downloading the patch and on my second game in franchise mode I got a freeze as soon as the game ended tonight. Time had expired and it froze up going into the stats & highlights screen. This disc is a month and a half old with not a single scratch on it, and my PS3 is brand new.

I have bought every Madden since the early 90's on the Genesis but I will never purchase another EA product again.

09' has froze up on 50% of my franchise games out of about 20. I waited patiently (and skeptically) for that patch to see if they could fix their product but all I got out of it was 1 finished game before it froze up again.

I'm done.

Re: Madden 09 Patch #2 Released, Impressions Here

I actually took the game out and snapped it in half. Pretty dumb because I coulda traded it in to Gamestop or something but this game deserves the trash can.

It actually felt really good tossing in the 2 halves of a Madden disc into the garbage with old discarded pizza crusts, coke cans and cheetos wrappers. Right were it belongs.

Yeah, I know. It sucks because I basically gave them 65 bucks to throw a disc into a trash can. Not to mention all of the loot they got off this faulty piece of crap overall.

Re: Madden 09 Patch #2 Released, Impressions Here

It still felt great breaking it, though

Re: Madden 09 Patch #2 Released, Impressions Here

I don't know if this has been brought up or not... especially now... that I have a few broken knuckles and I really don't care to sift through this thread.

CPU QB Accuracy must be addressed. Not in a DLC pack... in a patch... NOT IN A DLC pack... in a patch.

Because honest to God, there's no way Donovan McNabb or any other **** QB can throw off of his back foot with a LB in his face and land it square in the numbers. No way in hell.

Furthermore, it seems to me that the Human defense just got dumber. At least pre-patch, I can make a play on a floating ball. Instead, I can't get anywhere close enough because they're all wanting to have a massive orgy on the sidelines. Coverage in general needs to be tuned.

Anyway, that's my effing rant.
