Re: Madden NFL 10 Patch #1 Available, Post Impressions Here

It's all good Country, I was just getting a bit tired of looking at people's impressions of the game that are skewed by people's adjustment of the game. Basically the info they are providing is useless because it's not what the majority of us will see (allpro/default sliders). I mean really, how useful is someone saying the run game is hard when they have it set to ALL Madden (which is cheesy by the way) with run blocking turned down. To me, these adjustments are made to make the default online setting (all pro/default sliders) play a better game of football. I am just getting tired of wading through posts that are skewed by people adjusting the game. Additionally, isn't there a slider thread or forum? But yeah, no disrespect country, you're one of my favorites lol

hey country, what are your thoughts on CPU and HUM pass rush now? any difference? easier to get to the QB, especially with OLBs?

Re: Madden NFL 10 Patch #1 Available, Post Impressions Here

does anyone know if the Supersim feature has been addressed at all? I haven't tried it out post-patch, but pre-patch it was screwed up royally, with games being nothing but offensive shootouts.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Patch #1 Available, Post Impressions Here

well, sometimes all pro settings isn't hard enough for people. Then all madden is too hard. That's why you have people "adjusting the game". This is an impressions thread. People that are playing post patch may be playing with sliders. They can still post there impression. If you want a impression thread for the default game post patch, then i would recommend asking for one being open.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Patch #1 Available, Post Impressions Here

You want my impression? On the dumbing down of the R-stick left or right hot routed backs out of the backfield? Horrible.

I'm all in favor of cutting down the angle that the back can come out of the backfield which they have done. Now they have to go further up field before they make their cut. But what's with slowing down of the back for the first ten yards before he can make his cut like he's walking in freakin' molasses? This is the "solution" they came up with to backs coming out of the backfield in the flats being open?

NOT making the defensive AI smarter so they recognize them coming out of the backfield sooner, oh no...

But actually slowing down the speed of the backs coming out of the backfield like they all just pulled a hamstring or something, then speeding up to make the cut, then actually slowing down again just to be sure sure the AI DB has time to recover and catch him?

Wow. I have to do some more experimenting, but I am NOT happy with this change. This is just plain stupid and a lazy solution if you ask me. Just take out the R-stick left or right hot route altogether if you're going to do this to it. Ridiculous.

Can someone go into more detail about this?

I'm going to let it drop as it seems as if I'm not being understood. I wasn't kidding about appreciating your work. You do a pretty good job and have to deal with a lot of crap. Patch sounds great.

Happy Patch day, Maddenites!

What's the point of watching CPU vs. CPU games with the broadcast cam? Are you telling me that people watch the computer play rather than play themselves?

I know, it may seem odd to some, but, ever thought about scouting teams to prepare for them? Ok, Ok, not good enough? What about those of us who simply love the game of football so much, we even like to watch digital characters compete from time to time? It's pretty simple, but adds alot of value, to pretty much any game in general. Now we just need Online Spectator option.

Just DL'd, and BRB with impressions.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Patch #1 Available, Post Impressions Here

After breaking two tackles and running for about 40 yards, I got called for clipping. Never seen that before. Also, when I got back to the line, it was 1st and 13.

That happen to me. I WAS LIKE WHAT THE ****, YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS

Re: Madden NFL 10 Patch #1 Available, Post Impressions Here

This is so sick...spectating a game auto-enables the broadcast cam...old-school field markings in AFL Mode. I was really happy to see the AFL Mode already available on PS3, as well.

Once this next roster update comes out, I'll finally be able to start my franchise

I understand that people need to adjust sliders because the difficulty setting is broken, but wouldn't it make sense to try the game at default after a patch that may have fixed issues that you had to adjust sliders for in the first place? Also, wouldn't you need a control sample to test a patch?

Re: Madden NFL 10 Patch #1 Available, Post Impressions Here

Here is what I would confirm they came through really well on in this patch

1) WR Release as they said - also some DB's get roasted now if you press them and they get beat on streaks or fades with only a single Safety or cover 0.

2) Play Recognition in Man coverage - DB's seem to do a better job on recognizing "quick passes" and a lot of quick flats for example out of bunch. They seem to switch better as well.

3) Toe Drag Catch

4) Run blocking i'm still iffy about
5) Defensive Pursuit still very iffy about it. Need to see more.

lol, ya i agree with you about trying them on default settings, but again you know how some people are. Me being a person that would forget to reset to default LOL. I totally agree with you there. I am sure that there is going to have to be some tweaking sliders to get them right. Nothing i wrote was mean't to offend either.
