I've actually seen that a lot pre-patch, so you've just been lucky.

Whenever the football face turned mad, you had the option to "hard sell" a different pitch that had it as high, very high, and most to continue the phone call. That way, it was possible to spend 10 hours on a single recruit. Which pretty much meant you had that player locked. After the patch #2, you can no longer do that.

Yep. That was one of them!

i don't know if anyone else has noticed but like 95% of the CPU's punts now don't go to the return man. They are shanked out of bounds. I've played several games with this happening. Anyone else seeing this? other than that i've been having a much better experience. Its not as easy anymore and besides my dynasty the games are closer.

Got Damn it Sony. I drop $1500 dollars on 3 systems for my house and you cant even release a patch on time with Micosoft. I'm about to go up to GS trade them all in and get 3 360's.

If madden's online leagues were an actual online Franchise Mode (like ncaa) however....i would probably have it by now... ....but yeah, I will probably get madden 09 eventually.

I am undecided if I am selling Madden yet. Right now it is collecting dust because it doesn't have cpu sliders which makes it not worth playing right now. I am holding off to see if they add back the cpu sliders next month. I just can't get good stats with Madden IQ or with human sliders alone.

One thing that I will say when comparing Madden and NCAA is that I feel I have much more control over my players in NCAA and that I am actually the one controlling them on the field. In Madden it feels like you start the play and you never really control your players all that much, no matter what you do with the controller the players just carry out their pre planned animations and you are basically left to sit and watch.

I noticed that a lot in the two games I played last night.

This patch changed the game a lot. Before the patch it was a scoring shootout, last team with the ball wins (and I was playing the cpu in dynasty, that is the only way I play this game is offline). Now with the patch #2 both of my games were a low scoring games. Both the cpu and I got yards, but scoring was the hard part. A lot of times you would see a few first downs and the drives would stall. That is cool with me as that is a lot more realistic than scoring on every drive.

I like the game a lot more now since the patch.

Why trade all three? Just trade one or two so that you can get the 360? But do as you wish. I mean, its not like you enjoy the PS3 or anything (owning 3 of them) so you might as well trade them all in and get 360's because MS got the patch out first.


It makes sense to me.
