I appreciate the patches but it sucks having to wait so long. I mean, it's Week 8 already. The NFL regular season is nearly half over. Of course, you can always play Madden in the off-season until '11 comes out but it's not the same once football season is over.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: 2nd Title Update Preliminary Details
Really? I think thats when its the best. Gives me a football fix during the long and boring offseason. During the season, I am too invested in my team to get completely into Madden. Not that its not fun, but I just seem to get into it more in the offseason.Comment

Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: 2nd Title Update Preliminary Details
Is this the first time you go on xbox live in the last couple of days?
Because there is a diff between game update or system update and xbox live has an update for the console which was released a couple of days ago
the new madden patch is not coming till mid november the earliestComment

I have to say it really sucks for some people who are unable to take advantage of these patches because they don't have online access. Last figures I read was something like only 35% of all console owners being online. These people are stuck with the retail code. So quit your bitching!Comment

Before I had XBlive I would take my tower to friends house and sign on W/ his gamertag and load up a patch if I wanted.I have to say it really sucks for some people who are unable to take advantage of these patches because they don't have online access. Last figures I read was something like only 35% of all console owners being online. These people are stuck with the retail code. So quit your bitching!
When you bring it home, and sign on w/out XB live under your own gamer tag the patch is still there cuz its loaded to your HD system cache.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: 2nd Title Update Preliminary Details
I guess thats why they are so lax on getting the patches out...barely 1/3rd of the console install base can get it anywayI have to say it really sucks for some people who are unable to take advantage of these patches because they don't have online access. Last figures I read was something like only 35% of all console owners being online. These people are stuck with the retail code. So quit your bitching!
I suppose knowing percentage of the total madden owners have xbl/ps3 online access would help determine thatComment

Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: 2nd Title Update Preliminary Details
Most madden players I know do not play online or have an option to do so. I'd like to think that Patch 2 is taking so long because they want to get it right.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: 2nd Title Update Preliminary Details
I think Ultimate Team is a separate update and that it's not a part of the patch.
I sure hope it's not, because the guy in the interview said that Ultimate Team won't be released until late January at the earliest.Comment

It's a separate free update and based on Ian' Twitter, it's a separate team than the Madden Development Team.Comment

Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: 2nd Title Update Preliminary Details
"In this second title update we focused on some of the more debated topics from our loyal and passionate fan base. We appreciate all the feedback so please keep it coming! In this update you will be happy to hear that we have tuned our Flat Zone assignments to cover the flats more effectively. Defenders will not chuck a WR if another receiver is running a route towards their zone. This will help the defender be in better position to react to a quickly throw flat route and allow him to make a play. The flat zone defenders will also play the ball better if a pass is thrown behind the line of scrimmage as well as taking better pursuit angles after the catch to prevent the ball carrier from being able to get around the corner. This has been one of the top complaints that we have heard about and realized it was definitely something that we needed to address."Quite frankly, I think everything works fine... Where I think the problem lies for nearly every single guy that I've played online with the flats, screen, and slants, is that none of these guys knows how to play proper defence. I've now played at least 15 guys who do nothing but monster blitz every single play... So to counter I run slants and screens. That's just basic football... If the blitzing were less effective, people would result to playing proper D and other players would likely end up playing other plays then the screen and slant routes... Vikings, Cowboys, Giants, Ravens + Mixed D at the selection screen = blitz crazy guys who don't know D other then the blitz, which = smart players playing the screen and slants. Guess what, if you look at the Eagles in the playoffs for the past three years, they've been beat every single time by these plays because they played stupid blitzing D almost all of the time...
I just hope that if they address the flats that they don't make it impossible for players to get away from the cheese that is monster blitz because a blitzing LB will now know to break off his blitz to cover the flats...
Everyone wants sim football. Myself for one, am overjoyed at this year's game thus far. But guess what, sim means getting beat if you only use one play against guys who know football's basic rules of play...Comment

Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: 2nd Title Update Preliminary Details
It sounds like you are saying they don't need to fix the flat zones?
You can also counter blitzes by throwing to the area where the blitz is coming from rather dumping to the flats.Comment

Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: 2nd Title Update Preliminary Details
The patch is in MS and Sony's hands and will most likely be released in the middle of the month. From PastaPadreI will always, always be a Jets fan. But trust me it hurts.Comment
