Re: Madden NFL 10 2nd Title Update Details

I thought the draft info being added was a nice surprise.

Yeah i did not expect that to be in the patch as well. I don't think it was metioned until now. Does anyone know how long after being approved it takes to be released??

Also surprised to see draft info added hopefully it doesn't disappear after you edit a player. Good stuff EA like what I'm reading can't wait to dl.

Re: Madden NFL 10 2nd Title Update Details

I'm so excited about the draft info being in there. It wasn't a game killer for me, but it did hamper the franchise experience for me quite a bit.

Good Job EA!

Does anyone know if the patch has fixed the glitch when a gang tackle happens that players only get assited tackles? Usually the first person that makes contact with the ball carrier gets the solo tackles but in madden only two of the players get assits and no solo is recorded.

Re: Madden NFL 10 2nd Title Update Details

wonder if they fixed the fatigue animation glitch where the guy starts stuttering as he's running down the field on a long run?

That was purposely done to try to fix the terrible pursuit angles. Which I hope they got rid of.

The tribute stickers are a nice touch. But they are completely unnecessary. Especially if they carry on in multiple seasons.

Also wondering if the Browns brown pants will be in the game since the Seahawks got the green jerseys that they have worn ONCE.

And about the twitchy running, I think the first patch caused this. I dont remember this being there until after the first patch.

Overall though, the stat tuning is prob the biggest draw for me. And the tuning of CPU QBs releasing the ball to avoid the sack.

And stadium sounds? in Madden? Really not needed.

Looking forward to this.

So far the only thing that has really annoyed me is how quickly the CPU snaps the ball. I think I read that was going to be adjusted in the first blog about patch #2.

I haven't gotten too deep into the game, but so far I really like it compared to last year.

Yes, I hope this is fixed also. At least make it appear the CPU is calling signals or audiblizing ( is this a word?) and give us more time to defensively adjust.

Re: Madden NFL 10 2nd Title Update Details

EA has a history of writing things down that they will put in the game but then they fail to do so im just pointing that out.

No word on if this will correct the poor run blocking

Research, please. Or are you just going on the words of "everyone else".

If you are going to complain, at least back your complaints up. I want to see where they put in words something GUARANTEED (Not "We'll try") and didn't deliver.

If you can't do that, I would wholeheartedly suggest you staying out of this thread and moving on to the Gripe thread, where "flock mentality" is welcome.

I'm not trying to hate cuz I like the game and think the devs did make some serious improvements this year. Its definitely the best next gen Madden.
Nevertheless HolyCrap was right in that not everything they have said has been delivered upon. Two examples of this from this year are the stadium specific sounds and breaking career records cut scene (not being disappointed).

Stadium Specific Sounds:
I'm not finding the original quote from Ian about it but its obvious that it was made since he acknowledged it here in his interview with game informer "GI: Why are their no realistic stadium sounds in this year's game? No Vikings horn or Lions roars?
IC: As I mentioned in the previous question, this is one area that we weren't able to spend as much time on as we had originally hoped. It is definately a priority for the future.":

And the thing about breaking records is pretty well documented here:
http://www.operationsports.com/forum...appointed.html

Like I said though, I don't wanna bash anybody because I can understand it. Some times you make plans and in the end with all the deadlines you can't come through. It happens. But as wrong as it is for people to get billigerent about missing features and call the devs names it is also wrong to pretend like certain things weren't promised.

But back to the patch, I'm looking forward to it.

I havent seen anything about hook zone awarness being fixed..hopefully that is something they are working on as well, and will be mentioned.

Re: Madden NFL 10 2nd Title Update Details

wait, the update doesnt include CPU QBs holding the balll longer and taking more sacks? We were told that would be included...this was the main thing i was looking forward to in this patch...SMH

I'm looking forward to the patch as well, but I find it hard pressed where features from patch notes were not delivered in a patch. This is what this thread is all about, patch or title update. It's not about a topic outside the patch.

It's apples and oranges what is delivered in a patch vs what is delivered during the production of the game.

No need to push the panic button on what will be delivered in the patch.

Tuned QB throwing out of sacks (increased chances of CPU QB taking a sack, lowered trajectory of throws when QB is hit while throwing to cut down on INTs, better arm tracking to determine if it should be an inaccurate or uncontrolled throw)

Ta Da!

Ta Da!

You're right, I can't seem to find anything saying it was actually fixed. Hopefully he just forgot to put it in the update of what is already fixed.

**Yawn** we waited this long for this list? The NHL team would have whipped this out in 2 weeks. Anyway lack of stadium specific sounds is most disappointing because as mentioned it was promised. BUT it is a patch and it will fix some issues making a pretty good game a little better.
