I made the right choice selling then! Who wants to bet that the tackle stats will be wrong in next years revamped Madden 12 franchise?

When I watched the 49ers Saints game on Monday, seeing P Willis making those big tackles on Bush...man did it make me miss NFL 2k5, who had very similar tackle animations to how Willis's tackles looked. And considering how much love 2k is giving it's Nba series and listening to their community, and how awesome Nba 2k11 sounds, and plays (demo), who knows how good football game could have been around by now if the exclusive license didn't exist.

Madden 11 RIP
Roll on Nba 2k11

Don't hold your breath on that. After reading the latest interview with Ian Cummings in Game Informer....we ain't getting **** as far as a great deep offline or online Chise. If that ends up being the case no more Madden for me till it is addressed. If it never s...this will be my last Madden game. And that's ok because I could play this for years. I am having a bunch of fun with it.

Going to DL the patch. Looks like I will have to make some slider tweaks. I am curious about the Game planning play calling logic for the AI.

Yikes, sorry for blowing up the thread format there, guys - I didn't get all the table code copied over. Should be fixed now.

They said that they fixed connectivity issues with the kick meter, maybe that was the way they would address it? make it so slow that even lag couldn't make it any slower? lol

But,
I played my friend on All-Madden Difficulty online. I figured that would be the best way to really put the patch to the test. Thats when I noticed the kick meter was going .0002 miles per hour.

You're right...it's definitely slower now online. I just punted in an online ranked game and it felt like rookie speed.

Fun game to watch, went right down to the wire. Stats aren't that great (aside from them being MUCH lower), but remember this is with no slider changes. This is a very abbreviated box score - I just filled in the most important parts. Total plays were extremely low at 89 - 11 minutes accelerated wasn't enough. So the stats might have been a bit higher in a full length game, but I don't think the score would be that different:

One other bit of info - the longest play from scrimmage was a 39 - yard pass by McNabb. The second highest was McFadden's game-winning run. Everything else was below that, which means there were no huge plays in the entire game. I've never seen that at default settings (including 50 speed threshold) before this patch - EVER. That's why I don't think the score would have gotten much crazier in a full-length game. Every scoring drive was built around consistent offense and long drives - not the big play, and that was the best part about this whole game.

Bolded the part that has me the most excited. If default sliders lower big plays, an online franchise is finally a real possibility.

Re: Madden Patch 1.03 Available for Download!

I am excited about the patch seeing that. But I still like my big plays. That is the fun that Madden lacked big time in 2010.

I hope they did not make this Madden 10. I already played that game and shelved it after 3 months because it was a total bore.

Slider tweaks are in order it seems!

Any chance we'll get some details on exactly how these things where tuned..?

Fixing a bug to allow friend invites to ranked games
Generally making pass defense more effective
Reducing number of broken tackles
Fixing user blitz exploit(s)
Tuning injuries
Tuning CPU & GameFlow play-calling logic
Improving play action blocking
Improving kick return blocking
Improving online connectivity issues with kick meter lag, media streaming, etc.
Random stability improvements
Miscellaneous gameplay balancing

I like your impressions...sounds like they tweaked what needed to be tweaking, without wrecking the overall feel of the game.

I think guys who like to take control of their pass rushers from time to time, will be happy that they can trust their coverage people not to break down, due to the AI wigging out on them.

Does the kick return blocking improvements affect the cpu? It would be nice to fear kicking to Cribbs, Hester, et al.

Any idea how much later before we see the 360 patch?

Just got beat by the browns as the rams 27-16 on all pro. Normal speed 50 threshold. Fun. NCAA feels like an NFL game to me sometimes. I bought madden on opening day and this was the best game I've had yet. This was offline franchise. Pre-season.

I played with Lions against browns and really you can tell Kickoff/puntreturns improved. Not like that cpu or user will get 6points everytime but now you get some decent possition to start your drive from and Cribbs really scared me at one kick off return though he didnt ran for 6. Pass defence improved a bit ,not drastically that you couldnt get 100passing yards , but its improved and 4verticals arent cheating anymore.

I thought over the past few weeks that they did fix the kicking meter and stuck it in the earlier patch.

Because after that patch i did notice the kick meter not lagging as much, that's weird.

so they made kickoffs easier...last night (first full week with the game) returned a kick with percy harvin on all pro to open the game...so now it might be easier...wierd

Re: Madden NFL 11 Patch 1.03 Available For PS3, Later For 360 - Post Impressions Here

I am sooooo excited that they may have fixes the "big play" issue. Big plays are supposed to be a result of strategy, play calling, and a little luck. Not handed out like candy on Halloween. Nothing is more aggravating then playing great defense all game then have a guy break a 5 man gang tackle and go for 6 twice a game... not very realistic. I personally love the game but that aspect caused my blood preassure to sky rocket sometimes... like okay we feel bad ur getting dominated... here are a couple TD's you didn't earn just so you don't lose self esteem lol.
