Re: Madden NFL 12 Title Update #2 Details Coming Soon

olinemen and defensive linemen come in looking like punters, shoulder pads are too large regardless if you lower the attribute under edit player. (some cases they come out spikey) although i can play a season in franchise, when the draft comes around is when we start seeing all the weird player models. not every game had horrible looking field. i understand people don't want to see the field the way it is, yet the player models are as bad and noticable in every game.

But not everybody plays franchise and not everybody imports rosters from NCAA

The field issue was horrible in many stadiums and that is far more important to all

UDFA issue is an absolute Franchise mode killer. How is this not addressed?

it wasn't limited to ncaa draft classes, it affected generated classes as well as udfa's. this was the year for offline franchise. along with player models, the draft logic, re-signing, cutting players logic is still an issue that is being ignored.

i agree, who really wants to control all 32 teams if they don't have too. it takes too much time to go through each team and resign players, cut, draft, put players on ir to free up roster spaces. franchise should of gotten more attention in general.

I can't believe the UDFA/Sign logic issues weren't fixed, guess I'll be trading Madden in now.

I agree, they SHOULD have patched this.

But lets not get crazy here.

You can edit all the UDFA's to be either Kickers or Punters each pre-season. This causes the CPU's AI to cut those guys.

It takes about 30-45 minutes each pre-season. Filter each CPU's team roster by contract value before each pre-season and edit all guys with a 310k-1Yr contract to be a Punter or Kicker. The CPU then see's them at rated "OVR 0" and knows to cut them.

Voila. You dont have to do 32 team control.

We shouldn't have to spend an extra hour sorting out a mess because EA didn't patch a major issue with the AI's logic.

It's our job to play the game, not fix a broken mess before we can actually play it.

I appreciate the hard work the Dev team did to get this out, with that being said, there are several issues that were not addressed. Honestly most of this patch is dealing with online and cosmetic fixes. Now maybe it's just not possible to fix a lot of what is wrong with the game play without rebuilding it from scratch. Rest assured I won't be buying it in the future.

I will add one note here, it doesn't appear the offline franchise issue with cpu games not simming has been fixed. This game is unplayable with that issue being there.

I dont think we should either. I think this should have been fixed.

My comment was more directed to the guy who said it was a "game killer" for him.

I was merely letting him know there was a way for his game to not be killed.

Some people aren't as football savvy as others, the kind of people that post here in the majority probably know who to sign/cut ect to get the best possible enjoyment out of Franchise mode.

Others might not be that way, spending an hour just to get rid of UDFA's is one thing, but having to spend an additonal two hours to make sure the AI doesn't cut it's rookies from last year is what's really killing the game and there is no way around that but 32 team control.

Where do you go to download the patch? I couldn't find it online?

There was a release day patch that you get just by firing up the game and connecting to EA servers, but nothing since then, with no release data announced as of yet.

Ok, Thanks

Disappointed that accelerated clock looks like it won't be editable in franchise mode. Other than that, looks good, I'm not too bothered by the UDFA issue (although would've been nice to get that fixed). Accelerated clock is a real bummer though, guess I'll just have to deal with it

Re: Madden NFL 12 Title Update #2 Details Coming Soon

no meantion of them fixing the issue with throwing the ball where no matter how many times u tap the button the qb just stands there and then ends up taking a sack because hes just froze.cant belive nobody has brought this up its was a hot topic on the ea boards.
