Re: Preliminary details

Wait, did they hire a guy just to cover Gameplay and we cant get no answers for franchise questions? what the hell Ian?

Re: Preliminary details

Will the patch address the blitzing issues with the CPU playcall? I know for a fact that many many people have a big problem with that

Re: Preliminary details

Too many complaints. About the flats and the CB's. IF you only play against the A.I please do not say it is not a problem because online it is a huge problem.


Also I think it would be great if we started prefacing our complaints with offline vs online because some of the things that are a problem online do not seem to be a problem for the offline guys and vice versa. I don't have a problem with HB screens online or WR screens being as effective as they are. I've had mine read and shut down for losses by some online players so I can't say it's too easy like the offline player can because the A.I doesn't adjust.

There are some problems that overlap like the suction blocking/tackling but it would be interesting to see the list of online complaints vs offline ones.

Re: Preliminary details

If the patch addresses specific issues within "franchise". Its likely that you'll have to restart. IE franchise stats. Not saying 100% but its been like in the past.

Re: Preliminary details

Im telling you if Madden 11 is simmilar to Madden 10 in any way, shape or form I will never buy an EA football game again. All this Patch stuff ruins the game even more, hopefully patch 2 wont ruin anything.

Re: Preliminary details

Pretty weak patch, IMO.

And no matter how many times they try calling it a "title update," it's still a patch when you look at the things they're supposedly fixing. I wonder who at Tiburon is insisting that everyone use the title update terminology.

Smoke and mirrors.

Re: Preliminary details

Pass interference calls fixed? This is a huge issue for me.

Re: Preliminary details

Just put my copy up on eBay, this was the last Madden for me, I'm gonna stick with only NHL series, at least they got that game right

Why isn't this thread stickied?

very true I play mainly online (Franchise).Online vs offline are like night and day.The pursuit angle drives me crazy aswell as the suction blocking.

Re: Preliminary details

Thanks for the update but I must confess I am really disappointed by the lack of details, particularly the word "presentation". I bought the game on the idea of beefing up the presentation this year, and the lack of instant replays is a game killer for me. I am not claiming it should be, but it takes me right out of the immersion. I was anxiously awaiting the update to decide whether or not to trade the game in and I feel just as foggy as I did previously. I really wish you could give specific details on what you are submitting for this patch.

90% sure that we are going to be able to get the fix in that increases the amount of instant replays. Larry will let you know in the final update if it makes it.

Re: Preliminary details

Little disappointed in no AI fixes - punting at wrong times (25 yards and under), incorrect 2 minute clock management, not punting for the corners when CPU can pin them inside the 10

So Ian whatever happened to the genius Idea of "Jostling"????? Instead of fixing replays you should have put Jostling in the game.

Re: Preliminary details

Given the significant time lapse between release and the first really substantive patch (title update my eye), this initial list is truly not real encompassing. Many other very substantive issues discussed in this thread which are not mentioned at all in that blog post.

Is a patch #3 in the plans, as was the case with NCAA 10?
