Re: Madden NFL 12 Title Update #2, Anyone Get It Yet? (360)

That stuff is slider dependent. A higher catching slider will create more frequent and more aggressive catching attempts by the receiver.

In addition, I manually catch most every pass just to ensure that my receiver takes the best position.

Even on the plays I don't control, I find that the CPU does a fair job of going for the ball. Fades work by themselves, for example.

Yea but there are no slider adjustments when playing online ranked matches.

Just downloaded patch today. First game went to OT. I noticed each time received 3 timeouts. It is 2 timeouts in OT right?? Not sure if this was just from this patch or not, since I just noticed it now.

Do you need to be Gold to get this patch?

You shouldn't. I don't have gold, but I can get patches for my games. (I don't have madden, however so I wouldn't be a good judge for that.)

Wasn't that their plan all along??

The only difference I have seen (and am very happy about) is the lack of rain!

I still get audio problems where is seems to randomly change from surround to stereo or mono. Gus will be speaking really quietly and then Collingsworth will start speaking and his voice just blasts about at twice the volume.

Other than the qb sneak being toned down, and roles not being lost if you edit their equipment, I'm really not noticing much. Those were my two main gripes, so I'm good with the patch. Wish some tuners would come out though, to address a LB spying a qb that never goes after him until he's 3 yards down field.

Is it me, or did some of the menus change? Like the CPU and Player sliders and the penalty sliders.

"Lowered the frequency of rain games in Franchise Mode."

Thank god.

I fired mine up after reading your post. No dice.

Maybe your cache got cleared by accident or something.

Game hasn't made it back into my 360 in a month.

After seeing my main issues go unaddressed in the patch, particularly repairs to the wonky player models for incoming rookies, I decided to let my 5 year dynasty die. By the 5th year, the NFL looks like a circus with the distorted equipment and players, a HUGE graphics/visual setback. Absolutely destroyed franchise for me, and that's not even addressing the UDFA fiasco that FORCED me to waste inumerable hours to manage all 32 teams.

One of the most frustrating Madden versions ever for this franchise guy.

When is EA going to use them sliders to adjust gameplay?

Impressions from an Online player

Disclaimer: Some of the changes I have noticed could be my opponents shutting down my offensive gameplan or patch adjustments.

Since the patch I have noticed Rt and Lt tackles have trouble blocking on power and sweeps. It seems that as soon as I attempt to hit the corner or cut in the DE's immediately disengage. Again this could just be my imagination.

I have also noticed defensive backs have been taking some poor angles towards the ball carrier and also behaving differently to a Wide out catching a ball. It is almost like they have been toned down. To somewhat counter this I attempt to user defend most passes, but sometimes they're just in weird positions.

Defense tackles and ends on pass plays seem to get less push than before as well. Could be my imagination.

I would love to have the point of view of players who prefer a "ranked" online match.
