Just played my first post-patch game, and I'm not impressed. Computer players have become impossible to tackle. Just played Ravens vs. Rams and the Rams walked (or should I say ran) all over me. Steven Jackson had over 300 yds offense by himself. He ran over through and around every single Raven with almost no effort and was wide open for passes constantly. Even Ed Reed couldn't cover him. Even when I knew exactly where he was going and could get most of my defenders over there, they couldn't tackle him.

Another thing; how come every time I take control of a defender they immediately start stumbling and fall down?

Can someone tell me how to uninstall this lousy patch?

Pre-patch AD had 100 yds in the 1st qtr and over 200 yds for the game. In the 2nd half, I started calling more engage 8's and pinch plays. That play calling helped slow him down in the second half.

Just a suggestion if you didn't try that.

I played a few online games today and the flats coverage was horrible in one game! Like no matter what I did no one would cover the flats, the guy kept throwing to the RB in flats. I won the game because he could only throw to the flats, but I tried everything - LBs with flat assignment no work, CBs in flat assignment no work, QTR defense inside CBs in flats no work?

Is is just impossible to take away the RB in the flat? This used to be an auto pick-6 back in the day and I thought this patch was supposed to fix the flats coverage? Any thoughts?

It's called up your user tackling slider.

If that's really what's happening and you aren't exaggerating this just a bit, I'd make sure your right analog is working properly - it sounds like, accidentally or not, you're trying to hitstick everything in sight.

OK so I have been using the patch for a day now and I have some comments and questions for everyone. If some of these have been asked before I am sorry, I went through as many of the threads as I could.

First off has anyone noticed a slower game play in franchise mode offline? It seems to me everyone is slower then before the patch. I have the Titans in my 5th year now and C.Johnson is a 99 speed and 99 ACC.. and used to blow by defenders and get through holes quickly and now it seems as if he can not out run anyone or get through holes as he did in the past. Just this morning he was caught from BEHIND for a D.Freeney. and I mean he was WAY behind him and caught him and tackled. Freeney is a 85 speed and C.Johnson is a 99.. does this make sense? I have the player min threshold at 23.. which is the same as where it was before the patch!

ALSO the BIGGEST concern I had was the TACKLING bug.. this WAS NOT ADDRESSES YET AGAIN.. WHY IS THIS?? does ANYONE know? I know they "thought" they addresses it.. but Ian and co. DID NOT! this is the simplest fix ever! I don't understand? can ANYONE EXPLAIN? As we all know there is no TOTAL TACKLES stat?? that's solo +assists = TOTAL TACKLES.. this used to be in all games and now that assists and solos as separated its ok.. ONLY if you have total tackles.!! what happened???? in years last my best 2-3 tacklers would have 150-170 tackles a season.. NOW its 80- 90 for my best tacklers.. BUT the league best is still 15-170... That is a HUGE different and it effects progression immensely! This is not acceptable in my opinion. how hard is it to add a total tackles catagory and add up solos assists?? it CANT be that hard. These are little fixes that take almost no time at all.. that are HUGE in the game. I understand after patch 3 there is more "assist tackles" now.. but what the heck does that matter if they don't add them up?? UHHH nothing!

I like Madden and I hate to sound like I am bashing.. I LOVE the game it self. BUT I am frustrated that they cant fix something so simple as this that means SOOOOOO much to ANYONE who likes defense adn likes to play offline franchices.. I have played 7 season with lions.. 5 with Vikings and in 5th season with Titans.. I have played all the games myself and I am getting sick of waiting!

please anyone help me understand why they wont add total tackles... AND/OR when they will finally add it. Waiting for Madden 11 is unacceptable.

Also anyone else notice the slower gameplay after patch 2 also? I currently have it it on "normal" speed and 23 min threshold.

I tried blitzing all my LBs, but he just broke their tackles with ease. I didn't try the pinches, since he ran outside as much as in. I may have to up my user tacking slider. I really didn't want to mess with my sliders as I had them right where I liked them pre-patch.

I hear you, but when game play changes with patches, you might need to adjust your sliders to your satisfaction.

Dfos thanks a ton. Like you All I care about is gameplay, and nothing more.

Stats I could really give a damn about. This is where I really see this as a video game, so my full attention is towards gameplay, and from what you posted it looks good.

Hey man don't go to crazy with sliders, and go enjoy the game.

Man since the patch i haven't touched sliders, been playing default all pro, I like the results.

**RedsManRick** · 12-05-2009, 05:03 PM

I've noticed a ton of clipping calls in my games since the patch. My penalty slider for clipping is at 50, but I'm getting 4 or 5 calls a game. Basically, anytime somebody bumps another guy from behind, they show a push animation and the guy gets called. It's way over the top.

The tackle stats add up right, in the background. They don't display right.

Its either the analog stick or his motion sensor. Make sure your motion sensor is on 0 and that could stop it.

same thing happens to me, but i know its my analog stick erroring out. it glitches to the right, so i'm sure his stick is busted.

Yeah you basically add your solo and assisted takls together and thats what they are really in the back end for progression.
