Madden NFL 11 Patch 1.03 Available, Post Impressions Here (PS3, 360)

Re: Madden NFL 11 Patch 1.03 Available, Post Impressions Here (PS3, 360)

Does anyone know if this is the last of the patches? These patches came a lot quicker than '10's did, and I'm wondering if they halved these fixes to indroduce them sooner? I was shocked to see the 1.03 update in September.

From what was said in the first post here, doesn't seem like there will be another patch:

"We hope the updates you see above released with title update 3 will give you everything you need to keep Madden NFL 11 in your disc tray for weeks and months to come. See you on the gridiron!"

Still no change for the 3-4 and 4-3 schemes?

I played a couple games with just default sliders on all-pro with the Steelers.

Without me controlling him, Harrison had 2 sacks in one game(vs. Ravens), and 1 sack in the other(vs. Titans).

I didn't have that at all previous the the latest patch, except with huge adjustments to sliders, and even then I had to actually control the OLB. I also held CJ to under 100 yards. That was something I was NEVER able to do before the patch. The Steelers' D actually seemed to play like the Steelers' D.

There's going to be debate if it's actually "fixed", bit it's a nice improvement.

The game after I played after the patch was a real good defensive battle.

I played on nearly ALL Pro, except I kicked up Pass Reaction Time to 60 on both ends and dropped fumbles to 25.

The score was 10-7 Packers over the Bears.

Loved every minute of it.

I actually tried this myself and i like it. For one it forced me to check down more so my yards per play went down, which means my scores went down.

Playing Saints @ Jags on 15 minutes the final was 22 - 3. Not bad considering the teams.

I read somewhere that release day patches can be free, and this what allows us to get three patches. However, what ever the couldn't fix on release day that they need needed to be added or fixed was already being worked on. As far as other issues, they waited til the game was out.

I wouldn't say they halved them. I think we have to be thankful they came out this soon...not find a way to discredit them.

What are you talking about ? Im playing with fight for fumble off and i have recovered more fumbles than lost.

I've had 10 forced fumbles and zero recoveries. What else can I say?

Madden is far inferior to NCAA this year, which is sad, because it's usually the other way around. When I go from playing NCAA to Madden, it feels like I go from playing a football video game to an arcade football game. Also, Madden is so offense heavy this year, no matter how I tune the sliders, my games are always 56-24, 63-14, 49-45. NCAA, I can tune the sliders for a defensive (realistic) game that ends 21-17. Too bad this patch did nothing to fix this stuff, because I prefer to play with NFL players, rather than NCAA ones.

I have no idea why I see statements like this from time to time saying there's no way to have a defensive game.

If you raise many defensive sliders, like the reaction time ones, and keep offense sliders low, you won't see games hitting the 40's often let alone 50's or 60's.

its nice they fixed the issues they added above. I'm still having an issue inviting friends to ranked games unless I'm doing something wrong..i go to invite friends then switch it to ranked after i confirm the invite it takes me to the chose team screen and then someone else randomly appears. anyone having any luck with this?

also i would love to see a patch if possible to use the ps clock like ncaa does and also us visual lighting to have shadows creep across the field as the game progresses. they had this on madden 06 for next gen systems but have totally screwed it up this last 3 years or so by leaving it out. i believe the live weather option actually works however so that parts cool.

Disgusted !! about what they did with the kicking meter online

57 yrd FG's are like kicking extra pts. now ....How does that make simulation sense EA ?

Before update you were actually seeing missed FG's like you see every week in the NFL, but now it's been made easier than ever before

After all these years !! Why is this part of the game sooooooo difficult to get right

This goes for the punting game also

Why do I keep seeing posts like this??? Madden is far better than NCAA. The pass defense in NCAA is the worst Ive ever seen. Then you throw in the fact that the Dynasty mode is complete garbage with recruiting being the worst ever in the series, progression being state, and no team ever gets better overall. Teams just slowly get worse through the years. AI recruiting logic killed NCAA for me. That and pass defense caused me to not have even touched this game in months. All those patches and tuner updates just made the game worse.

Madden is much better. Esp on the defensive side of the ball.

What I want to know is if patch 3 fixed the the glitchy, choppy gameplay that patch #2 caused. After getting patch 2 I noticed that the game was completely stuttering and choppy on every single play.

I just deleted #2 and played with the default out of the box set up. So did patch 3 make it better or worse???

If your are talking about madden 3rd patch then no, it made gameplay a lot better,especially defense.

Out of anything you could say Madden is "far superior" in, you picked Dynasty/Franchise? Really??? Madden's Franchise mode is terrible.

EA shouldve made more strides loading more of the original plays. Tenn is missing there signature option pitch play out of the pistol set. Who cares about how fast you finish the game I just want it to be as realist as possible. EA has suck for the past 4 years anyway...their too cocky.
