The biggest problem for me is inconsistency in the game. One time I'll see 3 replays during a drive but not for the TD, other times I don't see any at all. Some times my blockers do okay but more than not they get lost and don't block anyone. It's just frustrating that a simple thing as replays after TD's is not automatic with an option to turn them off.

yea its def inconsistent, but i do see way more overall than before the patch, which was basically 1-2 a game. i switched it back to advance playcalling just to see the new replay frequency, but it wasnt even enough to warrant switching back for since the TD replays dont happen enough for me. its gonna stay on hardcore playcalling for me. i replay good plays on my own anyway.

other than that, i like the patch minus the screwy hb stats. game plays even tighter to me, protak seems a lil smoother to engage, and the cpu qb's tend to play a lil smarter since theyre not throwing the picks to get outta sacks anymore. i like how now they will take off and get 1st downs if the field is open in front of em or lay down and take the sack if theyre smothered.

Since this patch I'm noticing a lot of BAD calls by the refs. Maybe they were bad before, but now it has been brought to awareness. I played 3 games yesterday where the WR CLEARLY had both feet down in bounds and had caught the pass. Hell even got a 3rd one down and on two of those plays I challenged it and lost and on another one I couldn't challenge it at all. Straight BS.

That's your call in the end. If you are real critical of a few stats being off(ypc, sacks) then don't download. If you are more interested in the gameplay aspects, by all means, download it.

it doesn't just happen on the sidelines, it happens in the middle of the field as well.

i have had receivers come down with the ball(2 feet), tuck it away, turn and start to run(2 steps), get hit and drop the ball and have it called incomplete......straight BS is right.

Had that happen, and it was funny because the AI had one of my guys pick up the ball and take off with it.

Even the AI thought it was a fumble.

Last night was the first time I've seen a blocked chip shot FG. Twenty yd FG by Crosby was blocked up the middle. Crosby's don't get blocked, he just misses to the right too much.

After downloading patch2 and new roster update and also switching from hardcore to advanced all sliders at default playing on allpro this game is sick! I mean I cant believe the things im seeing defense is swarming to the the ball on runs and passes. i am getting coverage sacks because no ones open. I seeing alot more penalties,blocked fieldgoals, and their shutting down the flats and screens YES! It looks as if the defense is now faster than the offense whatever it takes to stop this cheese im all for it, I LOVE THIS GAME NOW. oh yeah and their alot more inaccurate passes by qb's I dont know about anyone else but this is what i was looking for all along.

Well I finally got around to test driving patch #2 and must say gameplay wise the wait was well worth it! It ays a beautiful game of football, so well, it's very close to 2k5. There are still some glitches such as the inconsistent sideline caught and lack of replays, but I'm confident EA will have these fixed in Madden 11. O-line vs D-line is much better which allows better running and sacks. The Qbs are less accurate. & secondary plays better defense making passing more of a challenge....

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

I'm liking the increase in penalties. I've seen way more holding calls than there used to be, without them being excessive, and am seeing PI calls now. That livens things up a bit.

well whats the difference between Hardcore and Advanced? I play on hardcore because I want the game to be as difficult as possible

Advanced and Hardcore are not difficulty levels. One is no more difficult then the other to play. One has replays and one does not.

So that's the difference huh?

Then what's the point in even having hardcore? There's a seperate option to turn replays off...

I don't get it lol.

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

i thought it affected the CPU playcalling...which is why i put it on hardcore, but if there is no difference and the only difference is the replays then I guess I'll move down to advanced. Oh and back track isnt rewind, those are two different things, right?
