Was there anything ever said about the missing stadium sounds?

Re: Preliminary details

"Rarings" fixed.



With the extreme budget that the Madden team have, these sort of problems shouldn't have come to surface, and it started with '09. Now, Ian and his "team" of "devs" should have seen these problems and at least come out and said "We are trying to fix the morph and tim shift tackling and robo-QB and OL/DL interactions and WR/DB interactions and spin catch". Then came back to use with the results, instead they throw in a few "upgrade" to the presentation, do some garbage **** with the engine, which we have come to know as PRO-TAK, and update the rosters, constantly.


But no. Which means we suffer through another football season with some suck-***, slack job, piece of **** referred to as Madden '10.

Why do you waste your time on these boards if you obviously can't stand the game?

You obviously don't have any faith in Ian or the devs to fix anything so complaining is getting nowhere right?

Seems you've made your mind up.

Yes. We were told they were in the current game. Ian specifically said he knew this based off playing a undefeated team and the crowd chanting "over-rated".

Then when pressed about specific chants he said he would look into it.

Most of us assumed it would be included in the patch at a high priority but it appears to not be so far.

Remember Madden's past when we'd get one patch, MAYBE?

We're getting big issues fixed in October/November...that's something we haven't seen before. Remember when David Ortiz ran the Madden team????

It sucks the game had some bug/glitch issues, but at least they are committed to fixing them and making us happy.

What would you guys that are being overly critical prefer, that they just never bothered to fix anything? I can't believe people are being critical of them for trying to fix issues. EVERY game ships with bugs/glitches. Not every game gets them fixed.

Do you want to ENCOURAGE or DISCOURAGE the current development teams attempts to fix the games bugs? Geez.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: 2nd Title Update Preliminary Details

One that I have noticed is in Tampa I was playing last night and I heard "TAMPA.....BAY" That was not in the origional game but i guess it was in after the patch. At first I did not notice it but I turned up the volume. Another thing that gets me is the cannons. They only fire when a cutscene comes up after a touch down. They should fire after every score. The guys from tiburon should know this, Tampa is only about an hour from orlando. If they have ever been to a bucs game they would hear those cannons they are loud as hades

Remember the reaaaaaally good old days of Madden SNES when you could just run halfback toss with Thurman Thomas all day long and the computer couldn't do anything to stop you?

Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: 2nd Title Update Preliminary Details

Can you even imagine if they were to do that. People get mad when the games don't drop before the pre-season, could you imagine what people would do if the game didn't drop until week 6!!!!

Shoot for opening day or the week before...nobody cares about preseason anyway...not even the players

Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: 2nd Title Update Preliminary Details

I'm surprised that a week later we haven't seen a definitive list. I was thinking after the pre-lim details they'd firm some of this stuff up after 2-3 days.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: 2nd Title Update Preliminary Details

Actually, I can remember when Madden didn't come out until the middle of November. Think that was back in the Genesis days. I remember picking up Madden '95 on like November 15th.

Yeah, I remember those days as well.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: 2nd Title Update Preliminary Details

This is taking awhile....

My Madden is just collecting dust until patch 2 comes out. It just bothers me knowing all the Franchises I had set up are on hold or will have to be restarted whenever this patch comes out.I'm looking forward to the improvements, but it kinda sucks we will be more than halfway through the season by the time I'll be playing this game to its full potential.

Well it is called Madden 10(meaning 2010), maybe we shouldn't expect it to be done until 2010.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: 2nd Title Update Preliminary Details

I still can't figure out why you guys don't rent before you buy if you have expectations that it won't be playable. Either $60 means something to you or it doesn't. Pick one.

And if you got the game as a gift and are still complaining... go away.

Well they would play the old football games, right? Its not like we have a choice to buy another NFL licensed game before Madden comes out.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: 2nd Title Update Preliminary Details

Can somebody answer this please....despite the flaws I am having reasonable fun with my franchise, Will I have to restart it once the new patch drops?

It's impossible to say without a specific list of franchise fixes, etc. Normally, no, you don't have to, but it has happened in the past.
