I got Adrian Peterson figured out!

I simmed one just for fun, he had 2,695 yds and 26 TD rushing 7.7 a carry....

But If you take out his 307 yd game against Detroits weak defense, the 369 yds against St. Louis' pretty weak D, and the 239 against Detroit the 2nd time...he has pretty normal numbers, so....he's just destroying the teams with crappy defenses...12 of his TDs came in those 3 games lol. Poor crappy teams!

BUT...IMO, that explains why he had such a huge year that first season.

Turner did the same but on a slightly lesser stage.
he had more 200+ yd games, but none over 300 like AP.

Put up 265 on Tampa, 252 on Philly, 231 on Buffalo, 242 on Carolina...the only odd one but even then NE's D isn't what it used to be, was the 254 on New England...but I mean, Tampa's D is hurting, to a point Philly's come down to earth this year, NE got old, Delhomme helps the opposing offense come back on the field what with all his INTs lol, and well....not much good can be said for Buffalo either...so as far as I can see, while the RBs were tweaked, theyre only having huge days on the less than stellar defenses. So, I'm taking solace in that, and getting back on my Madden more now

Happy Maddenizing guys...enjoy your patches

Downloaded and played a game. Only one game but this is what I noticed. Pursuit angles are questionable, not completely fixed but better than pre patch #2. Oline and dline still completely f**ked [ one of the biggest problems with Madden as I see it( opens up "cheating" for the cpu and also ruins gameplay for sim players)]. Tackling seems better and more realistic. Did anyone notice this one handed catching all the time? (Looks like when the reciever catches the ball it immediatly sticks to his hand). Ball morphing seems way better along with player morphing but they will still morph right through refs. All and all the game is a tad better but that is based off 1 game. My final thought is that if you liked the game b4 your gonna love it now and if you hated it then ur still Sh*t outta luck cause this bandaid aint gonna change your mind. Goodluck to all of us huh!

BTW.... Game does seem to play smoother and faster. Also I got a unnessasary roughness for tackling out of bounds (wasn't a user controlled player, thought it was interesting)

Live weather is NOT fixed

Thanks for the info but thats still a killer for me. Every year great RBs will play a few awful defenses. So the rushing stats are gonna be ruined either way. I personally would have been happier with the inflated passing stats than having 3 2000+ rushers per year And 27!! 1000+ rushers
This is really upsetting waiting this long for a patch and then getting this new 'bug' in stats.
Any chance that coaching philosophies or sliders could help this problem out? I probably won't have a chance to do any testing myself for at least another week.

Bah, I think I preferred the game pre patch 2 personally.

Stats: *sigh*

Re: Madden NFL 10 Patch #2 Available, Impressions Here (PS3)

Can somone please tell me if the tackles counting in game is fixed? Is there always one solo and one assisant now or is it still 2 assistants in a gang tackle? That is the main reason for the low tackles numbers the user always has in franchise...

Re: Madden NFL 10 Patch #2 Available, Impressions Here (PS3)

The kicker for me is 2 HUGE problems:

1) When you play as a team other than bengals/bears, do you still get those annoying *** non-team specific banners at the bottom about team history?

2) are kick returns still so easy I can get 2-3 a game???

The stats thing is not a big deal for rushing, on my madden chise 1st season, we didn't have ENOUGH rushing. My question for the people that is simming, do you think the sliders/difficulty adjustments have anything to do with the season stats? Has anyone tried setting the CPU rushing slider low and the simming the games?

The tackling was the huge problem for me moreso than anything, almost half way through season, there was so many people over 100 tackles by that point, so unrealistic. Did they fix the MLB-OLB tackles? Anyone confirm this? People keep on posting what you have noticed.

Would anyone be willing to simulate like 10 years into a franchise and see if the outrageous RB stats apply for computer generated players also, or if it is just the big time real life guys. I know it won't mean much but it would be nice if the stats become normal once those guys are out of the league or their overall rating declines.

numbers are way too ridiculous. i dont care who the D is

Re: Madden NFL 10 Patch #2 Available, Impressions Here (PS3)

I have a theory that it has something to do with difficulty sliders, if the CPU rushing is turned up to make his game more difficult when he is playing games, then when its simmed, the cpu rushing is unstoppable. Someone try default all madden sliders and then turning cpu rushing down low, and then simming to see how it is. Or turn their defensive sliders up so they play better defense. I think there might be more to it than just simming it soon as you dl the patch.
