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

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

If the essays on game design don't stop, infractions will be dealt.

Same for those telling people they have no intention of using this patch.

It's getting really tiresome for those looking for impressions that have to wade through this sort of garbage.

Either you have impressions or you don't.

Thanks Pared, I swear all these pages and gameplay is not even talked about. It is a waste of time to read through 13 or 14 pages of just crap about rushing stats. This has been a issue for years NOT just since the patch so lets hear what the patch FIXES!!

I really want to hear gameplay impressions too, however it's quicker to get sim stats for 5 seasons than it is to play 5 games. Give people a chance to download it, get a few games under their belts... then give true impressions. Since the patch came out in the middle of last night, there hasn't been enough time to digest everything yet. Patience, Young Grasshopers!

You do realize that stat tuning was something that was changed around in the patch right??? Get over it. Some people would like to play the game and be able to compete with the stats that the CPU gets.

So all the posts about the stats are relevant to the patch.

Slightly improved but barely noticeable. On some plays it feels worse and on others better. Defenders still sit in their zone and do not react to anyone around them. Oline still doesn't block and dlineman run horrible, unrealistic coverage. I know how some people like examples so heres one and ask yourself if this sounds familar. 3rd and 8 on my 35yd line, Chiefs v. Broncos, I line up a basic screen to Savage with Chambers running a cross, Cassel gets the ball, Savage blocks a dlineman, gets pushed away and would now be open for the screen pass and a big play at that because no1 is around him now and what does he do? you know....what every NFL rb would do.... try to run after that dlineman who pushed him away! Are u kidding me? Theres your Madden logic... No logic... No patch is ever going to fix this game period!

No offense, but (I can assume from your avatar) you use the chiefs, probably the worst or second worst team in the game. Poor coverage, awareness, etc on defense should not come as a surprise.

You got 12 pages of it, YOU get over it. Make a thread about stats. I don't know but gameplay impressions are wanted just as much.

Can someone check to see if the fade route and the RB slant route out of the backfield is still broken? Not the fade hot route....the actual fade plays that are in the playbook. Afyer the last patch they were walking on these routes.

Guys, use custom sliders.

I use DB's stat accurate sliders found on this website. I'm getting only two guys above 2K yards, and 19 around 1K.

Though there are still some almost unbeleivably unstoppable QB's. (Brady and Brees both well over 4K w/ ~35-40TD's each...)

If you're not using custom sliders you probably have more wild or inflated stats than just for RB's.

Custom Sliders. Custom Sliders. Rama Rama Rama. Custom Sliders. Rama Rama Rama. Custom Sliders. Custom Sliders.

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 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.

Totally agree. I've almost thrown my controller over the Chiefs o-line play, and then realize...duuuuuh...it IS the Chiefs. Worst o-line in the NFL right now. Even after making changes and upgrading through the draft, I'll have to wait a few seasons before my "A" potential o-line realizes that potential.

By contrast, and to give myself perspective, I played a game with the Vikings, but substituted Chester Taylor for AP. Played against the Chargers, who regularly clean my clock when I play the Chiefs.

Chester Taylor: 22 Rushes, 144 yards. 6.5 YPC. Now THAT'S an offensive line.

Lovin' this game!

I know how you feel, trust me. I use the phins online exclusively. I share your pain.

The phins receivers run awful routes, get jammed every play, and drop easy passes, just like real life. My pass defense is big play. A lot of dumb, easy passes fly over their heads some games (even when I call the PERFECT coverage and know EXACTLY what the opposition is going to run, which is usually always), and other games its a big play, pick fest.

Madden really has come a long way towards differentiating teams on the field. Not perfect, but certainly getting close.

Can I throw to the flats now and not be considered cheese and be stopped sometimes?

Also, on a breakaway when you change to lead defender it slows you down, is that fixed?

I agree. Some people care more about stats while others care more about game play. I for one care about both so, I didn't have a problem reading through this thread. In fact, I found it very interesting and informative so, I appreciate you for doing all the work.

And you know how some people are---- they think the only thing people should care about is what they care about and everyone else's concern(s) don't matter.

With that being said, I am anxiously awaiting some more game play impressions because I have to sit at my desk for another 6-7 hours before I can start playing the game myself.

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.

yep. that's what i was thinking too. before we all storm EA offices with guns, simple slider adjustments might do the trick.

Can people stop complaining about the gameplay? Impressions will be up soon enough, some people actually care about franchise mode.
