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

nothing is set in stone for either, but probably a month or so. Right now the franchise stats issue is the only thing we know for sure is in. Most everything else we assume is gameplay fixes via Ian. We had a thread a while ago adembroski started to list gameplay fixes for the second one.

Alright, cool. Thanks man.

I didn't have much of a problem with the Pro defensive sliders to begin with. So, my sliders will stay the same. The game doesn't play THAT much differently. I was satisfied before, and still satisfied. Maybe Patch #2 will wow me a bit more. It's funny, Holding may be "fixed" on FG's and KO's, but don't even think about moving it (or Clipping) higher than 50, still. Yeah, the biggest improvements are the blocking, and Flats coverage, gameplay-wise.

And, I guess there won't be any CPU vs. CPU watching after all. The CPU plays the game at a very fast pace, and plays very poorly. Not to mention, the Broadcast Cam makes the game look very....weird. The game moves very fast (even faster than the Very Fast setting).


Anyway, I will now begin my 'chise.

Correction - the plays with Fade Routes built into them like I Form Tight Verticals, the fade routes have been slowed down like the slant from the backfield.

Hmmm they also slowed down TE slants off the line both inside and outside.

HB Slant out of the backfield is still going to be a problem and that's all I will say.

From what I'm reading (not t home, so I cannot play for myself), it sounds like they simply slowed down the route running of the "cheapie routes": drags, flat routes, TE/Slot WR slant, rather then improve the responsiveness of your short zone defenders.

Accurate observation?

Pretty much. There doesn't seem to be any consistent reason why they slowed some routes down drastically and left others alone. That's why it makes no sense. And there aren't any "cheapie routes". Did you ever hear a DB try to explain to his coach why he didn't cover the back by saying "he ran a cheapie route coach!" Give me a break.

I'm also not going to say any more except to say this fix is not a fix, and they actually may have opened another can of worms with this "solution".

The ball , rather than going through a defender now seems to bounce off his chest. This usually gives them a second shot at an interception. The ball should not be hitting a players chest and bouncing up into his hands.

This is a fix to prevent the ball going through players, which we were told could never happen to begin with.

The running game has been VASTLY improved and is now a real factor in online games. I just ran for over 100 with Jacobs for the first time online.

Status update: In my second online game, I have already run for over 100 and the first half isn't even over lol.

AM i the only one noticing big backs don't go down so easy anymore? Playing Bills Vs Oilers(Titans) and Lynch just keeps trucking most of their corners when he's outside..pretty good. Going to really put this to the test with the Giants. Lets see if the Brandon the Tank will do the same.

That wasn't intended to be a lame answer. I am sorry that you took it that way. I was just saying it was on page 4. You can see it on every page almost cause that question has been asked probably a thousand times! lol

I like the broadcast camera.Its a little hard to cypher through your players to pick the one to control,but I like it. I hope they fix the super speed vs. the cpu in OF in patch 2,or maybe they can do that on the server.

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

I understand now that Ian wanted to make the Broadcast Cam playable. But, I'm still very disappointed we don't have a real Broadcast Cam, that shows the game like we watch it on T.V. The one we got makes the game play at a frantic pace, and is too far back.

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

I got the update this morning for 360 and then I went to check out how the game plays online and I noticed this patch does not effect online play because ranked matches were still 5 minute quarters.

Anyone else noticing this???

patch is a let down. the patriots helmets are screwed up now. the broadcast cam is from the cheap seats. the sliders have to be all adjusted now.quote]


What the hell do you mean the PATS helmets are screwed up now??

On the default helmets, at least for me and celg35, there were these hideous blue squares where the numbers should be on the back
