This patch is trash if all they fixed were stats and cut scenes,but i did hate the chain gang and finding out if it was a first down or not

Why do you think that? 95% of everyone else thinks this is a very good patch and a worthy update - yet you disagree with a very large majority, but don't say why.

I look forward to the update as it appears it will give Madden '10 more of a "finished" feel rather than a beta feel, IMHO. Kudos to them once delivered.

That said, my hope is that going forward, perhaps title updates could be used more for enhancing the game and less for fixing significant issues (i.e., significant issues are ironed out prior to release so as not to have to exercise the luxury of a title update to remove them).

Since sports games are yearly releases, they always ship with more bugs than your average shooter which has anywhere from, say, 2-3 years in development. The reason being that the devs have a lot less time to iron out the bugs, so they usually go for the game breakers and just leave small stuff in there to address the next year and in patches.

Wouldn't it be nice if this thing would just come out.........sick of waiting.

Ummm.....

I posted this in the other Patch 2 thread. I don't know which one is the "official" one?

Anyways, here is the list of fixes from both blogs I put together.

Gameplay

Tuned flat zone coverage to be more effective

Improved pursuit angles for defensive players

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)

Fixed some instances where a receiver would be ruled inbounds even if he only got one foot down on a catch

Fixed a rare problem where under certain circumstances the ball would actually pass through a player when he dropped the pass

Added an initial move to the RB on the HB direct snap plays so he can’t immediately take off after receiving the snap

Forced a QB drop initial move to force him to set up for a pass on Shotgun play action plays when you canceled the play action by hot routing the running back

Disallowed the user to be able to move any front line players forward on kickoffs to keep them from being able to actually block the kickoff

Resolved the exploit of being able to motion a receiver after flipping the play which caused the defender to go the other way

Fixed the bug where the QB could drift through the center when you repeatedly hot routed with certain quarterbacks

Fixed the clock running at incorrect times after an incomplete pass went out of bounds.

Presentation

Doubled amount of time replays can be recorded (long plays won't have beginning cut off)

Increased auto replay frequency (more frequent after touchdowns)

Reduced number of times chain gang measurement scene appears

Extended time in postplay by 2 seconds to give more time for the presentation of certain shots to finish before being cut off too early

Franchise

Tuned sim stats (more 3-4 OLB sacks, more RB TDs, less QB passing yards and TD passes)

Decreased injury chances for players with high injury ratings

Draft info added to player profile screen

Uniform Corrections

Seattle Seahawks white pants at home

Seattle Seahawks green alternates added

Tribute stickers on Titans' helmets for Steve McNair and Eagles' helmets for Jim Johnson

Re: Madden NFL 10 2nd Title Update Details

I must admit, im not happy about this patch. I was hoping for gameplay fixes not uniforms. I want the game to represent real football. It may look like a a 256bit game, but it plays like an 8bit game. I just feel let down, and i think this will be the last madden ive purchased after 11 years of buying madden. It seems EA Tiburan only hears wat they want to here, and dont pay attention to the real problems and issues. Hopefully i miss read the article and they are fixing the flat, man and zone coverage.

I find the lack of general reading comprehension, to be utterly astonishing at times.

Try actually being responsible for reading it for a week.

Please, people. Read the entire thread before you post. Half the questions that have been asked are already answered. Half the people complaining about "Gameplay fixes being replaced with uniforms" miss the fact that they are tuning a lot of gameplay issues.

Hell, none of us have seen the patch, and we know some things are always thrown in under the hood. But of course no one will talk about that. No one wants to be "jocking EA" because that's not what the cool kids do, right?

Re: Madden NFL 10 2nd Title Update Details

This needs to be repeated.

We're going to use this as the the patch thread. The rules follow over:

If you come in this thread and bash the devs or whine about the patch not being released or what is in the patch, you will be given a red card, celled, or banned. This thread is for MATURE conversation about the patch, not your chance to spread your agenda.

This is your one and only warning.

Re: Madden NFL 10 2nd Title Update Details

When's your best guess on when the patch will drop?

There been a lot of good football lately so, I'm anxious to give M10 another go. It appears the patch is in Sony and Microsoft's hands so it's up to them to decide. If I recall correctly, they normally come out of Thursday's but, I could be wrong. IMHO, I think it will take another week or two but, that's a really big guess, so take it with a grain of salt.

Nice

No need for people to jump the shark and complain now let's see what the patch actually contains first. I can't wait to give the patch a spin. Sometimes EA throws in a few extras (in the patch) without mentioning them in the notes. One I remember is facial expressions in NCAA10. So hopefully we'll get a few extra bonuses.

Agreed. Try the damn thing first before you make judgements.

Some people need to get off and just wait for the patch. There are more things to life than waiting for a patch damn. Just give it time it will be here soon enough. It has excatly been two weeks today so it shouldn't be too much longer.

If you can't wait then play another game to pass the time.

Re: Madden NFL 10 2nd Title Update Details

Has anyone read anything anywhere about the weather being tuned?
It's odd that the demo had snow but now i can never get a snowy game at lambeau!

Re: Madden NFL 10 2nd Title Update Details

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.

Didnt EA sports write blogs on how the CPU teams will play like their real life counterparts and how the CPU will adjust to what your doing.

well i played the Titans they ran the ball 10 times the whole game that's not much like the real life Titans now is it.

And one can constantly throw passes into the flats without consequence by the CPU.

Re: Madden NFL 10 2nd Title Update Details

I was mostly concerned with how easy it was to returner kicks for TDs and the cpu being unable to stop the run game and it looks like they didnt fix either of those. What a shame.

Re: Madden NFL 10 2nd Title Update Details

I am just happy because I started my franchise instead of waiting and it worked out. I was worried that I would have to restart.
