The 2 seconds extra after the snap was a good decision. I didn't think it would make much of a difference, but it really adds to the presentation.

Patch #2 = Brilliant

Oh and folks, if you don't want to see such inflated RB numbers and/or sacks then go here and edit the sliders. These are by far the best sliders for Post Patch#2.

i am seeing way more sacks by OLB's then before playing

Thank the man above. I was so sick of Demarcus Ware playing like an undrafted free agent. FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just downloaded it. Loaded up my old Chargers Franchise and it has the Draft Info for all the players. Can't wait to play some games now. Finally after all these months.

So is it showing the draft info for the pre-made or imported rookies?

Like James Harrison? I think I'd take that.

thanks for the replies, gentlemen.

it sounds like a great improvement with the cpu QB taking sacks, less all-out CPU blitzing and better blocking.

outstanding.

money > bitches
gameplay > stats

i don't care if the simmed DE's get 87 sacks a season; if my played games are fun and more realistic that's what counts.

kudos to the patch-makers and reporters.

This is a great patch they really play the flats tighter the game is way more fluid it plays lke a fb game now the ball does spin in replays. Inpressive Patch

Just a small thing, but are the blocks on the back of the helmets for the Patriots and other teams gone?

Thanks!

I've played 3 games now and I'm absolutely loving how the CPU QB's hang onto the ball. I've even had them scramble when I get close, only to get stuffed anyway. It feels so much more natural now. I haven't seen a lame duck in 4 hours of play.

Also auto replays show up much more on 1st down passes and long runs. Still not enough on TD's for me. I've seen them twice out of perhaps 10 TD's, including long yardage ones.

The more I play the more I'm enjoying it, its definitely a nice patch. (Purely in game play terms, I'm covering my ears and singing as loud as I can to ignore the apparent statistical calamity.)

I don't see any better blocking. I played for an hour, went to work out and have played for another hour. When you say better blocking give a scenario. I still see OLB's/DE's always collapse the edge on stretches. I still see max protect breaking down in 3 seconds vs a 3 man rush. Not too sure what you guys are seeing.

I do see:

Flats played better
QB Draw Glitch is gone
HB Direct takes a step backwards and slows it down but I'm not going to comment on the effectiveness or non-effectiveness of the play with league guys hovering around LOL.

I'll play more after work.

Dude I totally feel your pain. I can't even work I'm just sitting here looking at peoples impressions of the patch. I think its pretty clear that the flats abuse has been fixed which makes me VERY happy. I hope lineman run block better etc etc but I'm not counting on it. My guess is when I run an ISO, my center will still get absolutely walked over by the DT and I will get blown up for no gain 99% of the time.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Patch #2 Available, Impressions Here (360)

for me every gameplay aspect seems fine other than line play one play my line blocks well tackle seals guards and fullbacks take on their blocks other times not. overall it really depends on what you want or how you chose to enjoy the game

I think the end of the half AI has been improved. VY couldn't find anyone open and instead of forcing it on 4th he tried running for the 1st. Though he was DENIED!
