I swear I don't notice any differences at all, is there a way to tell if my patch downloaded?

[UndeniableSkillz9]

played one game with it i own all 3 systems so i can give some updates while the 360 owners wait ne way played an online game wasn't bad still lagging but didnt really affect the overall game like it used to. tackling seem pretty good it was ME (lions) vs packers(human) the kicking meter is slow but i almost missed a kick but it hit the goal post in went in. zone coverage dont seem that bad i made a few plays against the packers. the only thing that made me upset i end up losing b/c this guy runs a fake fg an i run a zone an i still get beat with 8 guys playing deep he got me like this earlier with the fake fg kick returning didn't seem that bad anyway since i had the game i played it maybe 20 times between both systems so my review might not be as helpful as others since

Attempted to play someone in an online franchise, game disconnected 2 times in a row in the 2nd quarter. Both times after an interception. Pre Patch I have never had a disconnect in online franchise and now twice right after the patch.

Rebooted my franchise post-patch. Overall it didn't seem much different, but the CPU run defense was definitely better. Only got 64 yards with Gore, I think that's my all-time low on M11. Broken tackles are still there. The Seahawks' two TDs came when Housh and Branch both caught relatively short passes, broke a few tackles and went the distance. The CPU's kickoffs were definitely shorter.

Honestly, if the only thing that was truly fixed was the cpu run defense, I'm fairly content. Pre-patch I was destroying the cpu on the ground.

After the patch 1.03, Does the CPU still snap the ball within 2 seconds or so, or does it now give you a little more time to make your defensive reads and presnap adjustments at the Line of Scrimmage?

It's no different from before in that regard - it still snaps almost immediately when the accelerated clock is turned on. Turn if off and you'll get several seconds, at least.

Apologies, I guess you're right - it's not waiting for very long before snapping. Guess I just assumed it was like that from previous years - I usually play with the accel clock on so I didn't notice.

Edit: I know what it is now - I was seeing those auto-man in motion plays when I checked it. Obviously, those are gonna take a few seconds to play out before the ball is snapped. But I know that's not what you're looking for - sorry.

LoL I never even liked the kick meter Madden used this year. I saw nothing wrong with the old move the RS style! I mean they didn't change it for NCAA, but why for Madden?

Couple questions has the latest patch improved user pass rush? &
are uniforms degrading as promised?

I've only played one game, but afaik locomotion + bad pathing is still killing the pass defense.

... bad pathing is still killing the pass defense.

I see a lot of this. I know they have cleaned up the pursuit angles somewhat, but the path that a defender takes to get into position in a zone, for example, really needs some work.

Really disappointed that kr is easier. I've had one kick return since I had madden. But the yardage I got was really realistic. Hopefully I don't find myself getting more than one a game.

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

I had the greatest KR of all time pre-patch. 45 KR/PR TDs in 3.5 seasons.

KR seems easier. PR seems a bit harder -- although your players block for you know which is a relief.

Don't notice more/less broken tackles. My sliders already had this good pre-patch.

Zone defense seems better. Haven't played enough MCV yet to see any difference.

Second game post-patch felt a lot like pre-patch.

Default All-Pro, I beat the Saints 41-38. Hit Ginn for a 77-yard TD pass with 1 second left for the game-winner. Brees had an 81-yard TD pass earlier in the game. Granted, it was the Saints, but there was very little defense on either side.

First-game post-patch was a lot more defensive, so maybe this was a fluke.
