Can anybody confirm that the slow kick meter is fixed offline with a tuner pack yet?

Indeed; it seems to have been replaced with the extremely slow kick meter.

Sad to say this, but after almost a week of testing out the latest patch I see very little tangible difference in the pass defense vs. big plays.

Where it really gets noticeable is in the final 2 minutes of each half. The teams start airing it out with long pass after long pass in an attempt to get a quick score, and receivers are commonly wide open for bomb TD's. It was not uncommon to see 3 TD's scored inside of the 2 minute drill - Team A throws a long TD pass, kicks off to Team B who quickly burns the defense for a long pass TD, who then kicks back to Team A who quickly scores again.

I know wild things happen in real football in the 2 minute drill, but this is ridiculous. Very frustrated that we are on the 2011 version of this game and the secondary is next to useless.

Hopefully they just up the defense speed up and it would make d nearly perfect

This is the Madden patch impressions thread.

Stop the discussion on anything else, please.

I just picked up the game yesterday and downloaded patch 3 so I dont know how it played before this but I must say that the gameplay was very good. In my first game I played as the Ravens against the Steelers and won 14 to 10. Stats were on the money. Big plays were limited. Is it perfect...no, but neither is life. Some of you guys that "live" in here take out all of the enjoyment of it being a video game by acting so miserable and crying over nothing. And by the way, EA doesn't have to offer patches or tuner updates. Not to long ago, if you bought a game you dealt with it good or bad until the next year. There were no forums to congregate in and share ideas with the developers for updates. This is a privlege and one hell of a customer focused initiative if you ask me. Show some freaking class and say thank you. Better yet.....go outside and throw a football around if you want "realism".

as for me, im loving this game post patch. i was loving it pre-patch as well. got my sliders all set and just finished my pre-season. now the regular season begins and i have no Darren McFadden for the first 6 weeks due to a partial MCL tear

either way.........

TIME FOR SOME FOOTBALL!!

I've played more games since I've posted that and I still see the same problems that I did pre-patch.

I play on all-pro with 8 minute quarters(no accl clock) and really am enjoying the game. I feel like I am getting just about the right amount of plays. However, each team seems to be getting between 15-18 possesions which is about 5-7 too many. I know my last game had 7 turnovers which skewed that number but thats the one thing I wish I had a tweak for, amount of possesions. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I think part of the problem is the CPU and I both run back to the line in the first 3 quarters and dont milk much of the playclock.
