Madden NFL 10 FAQ - Part 1

Re: Madden NFL 10 FAQ - Part 1

^^^CPU AI was something that was being addressed. I'm guessing that cpu playcalling on defense, offense, and during the 2 minute drill are all lumped into that category.

LOL First The Show and now Madden?

Man, I feel bad for you Chicago guys.

Lol, well it's not exactly a game killer, but it certainly is ironic isn't it?

We can certainly see how much these devs think of Chicago, their sports teams, and their fans....lol

"The other point (as mentioned by many) is that Solo and Assists= Total Tackles. If it's some really bitty reason (e.g. column or array space in the game), then just remove assists. Assists aren't shown on the NFL site, there's no need when Total TKLS and Solo TKLS are shown......"

Josh from EA, who is working on this, explained the problem. On some screens (season stat screens) the columns are labeled incorrectly. The "Total Tackles" column is showing solo tackles, and the other column shows assists.

There are actually too many solo tackles. He is tweaking it down.

He said that changing the screen would take too much time to make the patch, so the column will remain mislabeled.

yeah basically all of our assumptions were wrong, which really is a good thing in the end since they are being counted correctly. i guess we will just have to add "total" + assists in our heads. at least the numbers are too high rather than too low?

Re: Madden NFL 10 FAQ - Part 1

id almost rather have it back to a single tackle category. I thought it always worked fine that way. Now we can see leaders in solo and assisted tackles. who cares? I just want to know the total tackles leader!

Re: Madden NFL 10 FAQ - Part 1

Forgive me if this has been addressed elsewhere on this thread, but I have to ask: with the new roster update containing increased ratings across the board for offense players in regards to pursuits on interceptions what will happen to draft classes in franchise mode? As franchises move on in years will we once again see the pick-6 problems as more fictional players come into the league? I'm assuming the update will not go in and fix all the draft classes, correct?

Re: Madden NFL 10 FAQ - Part 1

So sideline catch awareness hasn't been addressed yet? Thats odd.

Re: Madden NFL 10 FAQ - Part 1

Would you buy it if it was called Madden 10 the Online Edition?

HELL NO!!!!!! Online is totally out of control for madden. Waste O time.

but that is just me.....But i am certainly NOT alone.

FLATS to me is definitly the biggest issue along with the pursuit angles.

the schedule bug (4-6 home games in a row etc.) has been there since...well...since madden hit next gen. How it is NOT fixed is very concerning. This should be an easy fix. As of now, before you start a new season, you have to save and then keep letting the CPU generate a schedule that is at least close to realistic. But this process is tedious as you have to do it SEVERAL, SEVERAL times over to at least get it close.

Re: Madden NFL 10 FAQ - Part 1

I couldnt have said it any better myself man..alot of people in here i know for a fact fall into that "bandwagon" and go for the ride of disappointment never to enjoy that particular game again only because they believe what others believe or say... i personally DONT see a HUGE issue with the flats..infact i can enjoy the game knowing that the flats do have a "bit" of a problem of being too easy but i honestly didnt notice it until people kept posting about it..go figure...i'll be honest though, it IS there but its no where near as bad as people make it out to be..this can be said with dozens of other complaints...one person sparks up a glitch and a nice handful of others jump on that bandwagon.

As you say...alot of glitches and small issues are NOT even noticeable to most of us..its WHEN someone comes along and makes a big stink about it that tends to spread like cancer to other fellow gamers that fall for this evil deed. Its sad that one person can spark up a HUGE mess and that issue is usually a tiny issue that can be fixed with some slider adjustments or better play calling.

The simple fact of the matter is this...dont fall for what other people say..this is true with gaming review sites as well..take reviews as a grain of salt because only YOU can be the true judge of a game or a glitch in a game..too many are influenced by others and frankly.***ins their enjoyment of gaming and lose focus on what gaming is ment to be for us..which is to enjoy the game for what it is and remember that its not gonna be no where near true to life.. people have lost grips with what gaming is really about and rather have caught that nasty cancer of so called "glitch hunting"...

I've said it a zillion times... "glitch hunters" like Apex or Rmoody ruin the excitement for many many gamers..because they litterly dissect a game down to every last detail, make a huge stink about it and post it on forums,etc and many many innocent gamers are robbed of their enjoyment of videogames because they fall victim to the "glitch hunting syndrome" ... sad but true story and i mean no disrespect to Apex or Rmoody even though i may have bashed them two guys many times in the past but the truth of the matter is they have totally lost GRIPS with the meaning of being a gamer.

You know what though..i only speak up in hopes to get people to get back to reality here. I think this addiction of looking for glitches ruins fun for so many. Im just grateful that i have the mental capability to understand and realize that no game will be perfect and that asking for a game to mimic the real deal is just so out of the question right now with our technology capabilities with videogames... hopefully this post will open some eye's up and let some captive gamers ..once again enjoy some gaming, free from the chains of glitch hunting.

No real issue with the flats huh? I see your point and i LOVE M10. BUT....

Dude the flats are a HUGE problem. I only play offline and have come to hot routing my RB to block just to keep the game "even" versus the cpu. I know they said the AI was tuned to be more of a challenge, but with countless time spent on sliders, i have a hard time ever losing or even falling behind for that matter.

[Terrell28]

People saying that EA put too much effort in for online play well not if your like me and have online franchises going and play alot of ranked games for bragging rights so I thank EA for addressing the Online portion cause quite honestly the CPU is boring and easy to beat yes on All-Madden I haven't tried the elite yet. So those griping about all the online fixes it's ok just do like you been doing and playing offline those of us who say talk is cheap and to prove it on the field to do that YOU PLAY ONLINE...again Thanks EA. Any challengers my gamertag for xbox live is BlazeDutches my Ravens are waiting for you and with 7min quarters coming I can ball control even more can't wait.

Has there been any mention if we'll need to restart our franchises with the 1st or 2nd title update?

In the other thread about Franchise stat updates Josh said he was not sure yet and would let us know as soon as he finds out.
