I know dirty unis isn't on the top of everyone lists for being fixed but the point is that it is broken and for the past 4 patches it has been broken so this minor detail should of been fixed a while ago! I know EA has noticed many posts about this bug in a thread specifically created for it or even in the posts of all the patches mentioning that it has not been fixed. I am happy they are releasing another patch but seriously it's kinda sad that they have gone through 5 patches and it has not been addressed.

there's more important things to work on than uniforms, like , you know ... gameplay, perhaps ..

That is true indeed.

But its also the small details that are left out that keeps this game so far behind the other great titles.

All i'm saying that this is an easy fix and should of been fixed by now. Last year it was fixed in the first patch i believe.

How do you know it's an easy fix?

haloti ngata vs. the jets early rthis season, i think he raped the LG Slaussen, it is a once a week play in the entire league but u see it all the time during the game, i feel ur pain...
oh, wait, here it goes, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7Yk1LnAuZ4

you know what, I actually had Ngata in my head, and I thought I had seen him pull that off, but I couldn't remember the specific play. Man, that was a beast play, and one that only a cat with 93+ block shed should make! Woo!

*now watch just as I make an issue of it, I see 4 or 5 average linemen do the warp/rip/swim move all day today*

At any rate, I took in a Falcons game a few weeks ago. With Raji, Pickett, and Jenkins, three fine linemen on that Packers defense, I did not see once were they shredded the Falcon line. There were plenty of times they beat the Falcons on a running play, but it was pursuit and run fits that did it.

Here's a pic I took and how I think run blocking and defensive pursuit should like on a regular basis between evenly matched teams:

It was an easy fix last year why not this year?

Looking forward to seeing how this does.

Yet again I may have to tweak the sliders LOL. No biggie, it should not be too much that needs tweaking if it indeed makes the passing game tougher and the pass Rush better.

It ain't rocket science.

I had given Madden a rest after playing since release. I have not touched it in 3 weeks. So need to get back to my year one chise after I download this. I have been obsessed with NBA 2K11 and for good reason.

This ^. Seen some posts but no real thoughts or details, just a bunch of empty, vague posts (unless I've overlooked something).

Re: Madden NFL 11 Title Update #5 Details, Post Impressions Here

Well I downloaded the patch last week - I have no doubt that the patch has loaded as my sliders - which were prefect - have been torn to shreds by the patch.

Luckily for patch analysis I track and record every play of my 16 game season so I can quantify the result.

I have played 2 games of Season 7 of my franchise under the patch so far.

Last season my running game was averaging 4.5 yards per carry. After two games under the patch it is down to 2.9!

My run defense last season was 3.4 yards per carry - so far this season it is 2.9 per carry.

Looking like big improvements on the run defense - I will need to adjust blocking and reaction sliders for both Hum & CPU.

But what I can't understand is why pass defence appears to have fallen apart. I see nothing in the patch notes that would indicate this. Yet my pass defence has gone from 4.5 per attempt (league leading last season) to 9.7! And my defence actually got better (well was supposed to) in the off season with the progress of my 2 1st round CB's (Tynes and Knowlton).

Meanwhile just to prove the point my passing offence has gone from a medicore 5.9 yards per attempt to 7.5 despite the addition of only one 78 OVR WR.

Anyone else seeing the same thing? Run defense has been boosted but pass defence has fallen into a hole? I tend to play man to man defence, so not sure if zone is now better.

I've got a major headache now changing all the sliders...

Re: Madden NFL 11 Title Update #5 Details, Post Impressions Here

First off I wanna say thanks EA for all the things you have fixed so far, but I really don't see how the run blocking hasn't been fixed by now. This is the main reason I don't play this game anymore. I like to play on My Skill level because the game is too easy otherwise. At this level my run skill is ALWAYS at 20 and NEVER goes down, even when I have like 20 attempts for negative yards for the game. The only thing I can do is custom difficulty and put the running on Pro, but the problem with that is the game no longer adjusts the rest of the difficulties. I really want to play this game, but it's very hard to enjoy when it's either too easy or the running game is impossible to do anything with no matter if I throw 10 times in a row or run 10 times in a row or adjust the blocking left/right/pinch/aggressive. Also, it doesn't even matter what RB I use, I have the same results with AP and Chris Johnson as well.
