That's awesome they don't sell out blitz all the time now. They didn't even put that into the blog details so I was wondering if that got fixed.

For all you PS3 guys, was some of the stats (rushing yards, sacks) the only thing that was made worse with the patch? If that's the case then I can't wait until Thursday or Friday.

Outside of blown sideline catches that are called incomplete when they aren't and the HB stats, thats all that i've really seen thats worse than pre-patch.

The sideline catches thing doesn't sound too good but other than that, sounds like the game is a lot better.

At first I was kind of upset about the stats but thinking about it, I've already gone through tons of seasons of Madden 07 and 08 on PS2 in the past where the rushing stats were inflated so it's not that big of a deal.

What is the sideline catch glitch? I've seen some catches on the sideline that were ok. Is it the animation where the receiver tries to keep his feet in bounds that you're referring to?

Very good patch! The stats being insanely high is the only complaint I have. Hopefully there will be a small patch to fix this.

this game is improved tremendously post patch. Flats are better covered, the QB hangs on to the ball instead of just throwing it up for grabs, I've seen the QB scramble more often, the cpu defense doesn't sell out blitz on every 3rd down anymore, the clock runs/stops appropriately now, and the stats are better.

I was already enjoying the game pre-patch, minus the stats issue, but now, this game for me is golden.

Well done.

Thanks for the info. Looking foward to it even more, although when it releases for 360, I will be one week away from getting MW2.

I tried playing a game yesterday for the first time in months. I figured for as long as this patch took to be released, some improvements had to have been made.

But I never got that far because early in the 1st Qtr, the CPU threw a pass and the receiver bobbled it out of bounds and dropped it near the bench. He was never in bounds and he never caught the ball yet the ref runs up, makes the 'pulled it in' catch gesture and rules it a catch........ 1st and 10.

I tried saving a highlight but I think the ref cut scene ruined it, it would only play for a few seconds.

I turned the game off.

This is what I'm wondering, if there will be a third patch. NCAA got a third patch to fix progression (I think that was the only fix) so hopefully we can get a third one as well to fix stats and a couple little things.

Hopefully auto replays will be fixed one day!

I thought they were? They don't play on TD's still?

there are no auto replays when using hardcore play calling

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

getting a ton of mixed impressions, but i have noticed one constant and that has been the sideline catches still being a problem?? i just don't understand how this issue can still exist 2 patches and 5 madden games later(next gen).....how is this possible?? and why is it allowed??

there are no auto replays when using hardcore play calling

is that by design??

What happens if we use advanced play calling? Does it effect gameplay? The little info on the bottom of the screen says, "Hardcore is a specially tuned mode that is reserved for gamers that know everything about football and need no help."

You get replays when using Advanced. The only question is whether or not they are more frequent after the patch.

For that matter, I haven't seen a replay cut off just before a TD post patch...did they fix that too?

If you are talking about the replay stopping right when the ball is about to cross into the end zone instead of continuing through post TD run/catch and on into the celebration, that still happens.

They are definitely more frequent. I played a game before changing to hardcore mode (didn't know auto replays vanished with hardcore) and saw many more replays than pre-patch. It was nice.
