Question about sliders?

Do they actually work now???
Are they as sensitive as past maddens on ps2 and xbox original???

The sliders have frankly sucked for the cpu this year after they played the game up as fully customizable sliders.

But ints happen frewquently no matter where the bar is set, and i notice no substantial difference in gameplay if , for example, i set cpu defense down to "0" and Running passing up to full bar or 20 or whatever it is????

Are the sliders better now?

please answer, thanx

I would like to know this too. And you're right about last gen Madden. The sliders were much more sensitive. If you put INT on zero you just wouldn't get any.

If you want to ask some guys to check something for you, that's fine.

Did they fix the blocks instead of numbers on helmets. (Patriots)

........

doesnt anyone know the answer to this??

Can someone who has played a few games comment on the Oline blocking in pass and run protection?

Is the FB making blocks or still missing the assignment completely? In pass protection, is the O-line picking up their assignments without any of the quirky spinning animations?

Thanks.

I really think that offline franchise has been ruined for me. Whoever wanted YPC to increase for BACKUPS Which increased them for starters and more SACKS. You got em. Can't blame EA because they catered to your "needs". Thanks OS.


28 1000+rushers 3 2000 yard rushers and 3 dudes with 20+sacks=failure. Can I un-download this garbage?




Gamplay is real improved though.

Use cutsom sliders... omfg.

All the people posting about high RB' stats are wasting time....

You tune the sliders yourself,,, jeez...

I did a bit of history checking, and can verify the statements of posters who wrote that Xbox 360 users can probably expect the patch to be available overnight Friday--MS usually makes downloads available 2am ET. So we Xbox'ers will probably be able to enjoy the improved gameplay with our Saturday morning coffee.

Looking forward to it!

Here's the Issue. someone like Johnathan Stewart AKA Panthers number 2 HB would end the season with 100 carries for 100 yards. Does that sound right? At All? In your eyes i suppose it does.

Id rather have that happen than watch Michael Turner rush for 2,400 yards a season. I agree with the guy you quoted. Its garbage and im sick of it. Make us wait months for patches that improve certain areas but make others uselss. ITS GARBAGE. I also like how age has no effect on a RBs skill. LT is 37 years old in the in chise i simmed and hes still goin 1500 strong. PLEASE.

My final impression is what it has always been. EA doesnt watch enough football to know how to make a decent football game. How Looman can sit there and see all the RBs go over 1000 yards and have two or three of the break Dickersons single season rushing record ever year and then allow all this to be in the game is trash.

The patch made defense play a little better. And ended the twitchy running. But it destroyed offline franchise.

I waited and waited and waited for this patch to start a new frachise, only to be fooled by EA AGAIN. So please forgive me moderators for being pissed off and going off subject a bit, but sometimes in life certain things have to be said. People have to stop babying EA and let the hardcore people that fill their pockets be heard.

Show me a slider set that fixes it. Ive sat here all morning and I havent came across anything that works. How does a slider set improve simmed stats.

So show me a "slider set" that works.

Rushing TDs were a little low. How did that come into being we need more rush yard and YPC?????

I don't think EA watches enough sports in general. SIM stats has always been EA's dark side. The hockey game (NHL 10) is great, except for the SIM stats. I don't own this game, but from what I heard with NHL 10, the player ratings are based on a 50pt scale, not 100. So the stats are going to be messed up because there isn't such a difference in players. Maybe Madden is doing the same thing??

I'm mostly a hockey guy and rarely play my copy of madden (bought it just to play a few friends online every once in a while) but I popped it in today to see what all the hubbub was all about.

Now I don't know anything about football X's and O's minus the basic positions and packages, but I was playing the Steelers and the CPU was kicking my butt today with the Browns! Passing all over the place on me, and really pressuring me while I was in the pocket.. definately never saw that before. The most success I had was run plays mostly pitching ones with Mendenhall.

So for what it's worth, the CPU seems more aggressive on D, better run blocking for the player, and better passing for the CPU...

Re: Problems w/ Patch 2 ALREADY...

Search for Looman's thread about tuning franchise stats. Thats all i'm going to say to you.

It doesn't matter the Looman is NOW saying how ****ed up the sim engine is. They should have just told us before they had our money. Something like this:

The release state of the Madden10 offline franchise is that of a beta release. Play at your own risk. Don't expect realistic stats this year it is in the land of make believe but you don't take a trolly to get there...

I noticed that there really isn't many more auto replays. Very disapointing..

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

Could someone with a PS3 just please tell me if the blocks instead of numbers on the back of Patriots helmets was fixed??????????

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

Just played 1 game...Bear vs Seahawks. I was the Bears. CPU defense definitely seems stiffer. Seemed like the cover the run and pass much better. Again, just played one game and don't know if it was just placebo effect...but it felt much tighter. Can't really get into specifics...and I do have slider tuned to making the game much more defensive oriented. So maybe slider adjustments are needed as possible slider impact is higher.

As far as playing QB...passing seemed much more refined in that when you need to throw a bullet, you need to do that or its getting deflected or picked. When you need to use some touch, you need to do that as well. Again, haven't played in a few days so with the new patch, just trying to figure out if this is patched effect or not. Anyone else notice this?

Overall...I dig it. But I am a sim player. No online junk. Sim vs. CPU in Franchise. For sure looks like they simmed things up for vs. CPU players.
