That is exactly the way I understand it as well. The season has to be started fresh for the progression to work. The Franchise does not have to be restarted but there are situations where it does not take until the start of the 2nd season post patch.


Wow i just made that more confusing than it really is.

Thomas both in on the tackle. I checked the stats because I was curious to see which one of them got the tackle and turns out they both got one. So 2 plays, and my team has 3 tackles. Has Madden always been giving a tackle to both guys on combined tackles or is this new?

Not sure about previous Maddens but pre-patch #2 it does indeed give tackles to all who were involved with bringing that player down. Same with sacks. I took down a QB a couple weeks ago with Schobel and Stroud. Both received a sack. Which is better than nothing. In years past it would be only one player. I realize 1/2 sacks and tackles should be given.....but this is better than nothing.

Field deg. seems to be better, dolphins jersey's were pretty dirty, penatly sliders can be turned down around the 70's and seem to be fairly realistic. CPU actually turns up field, robo QB not sure I played 5 minute quarters only incompletes from pennington were interceptions, false start the quaterback will run up the middle of the field which is kinda dumb, turned running def all the way up to 20 and computer could still not run on me, i like the extra couple seconds to adjust my defence but its maybe a little too long during punts and field goals, and does anyone notice that when you hit triangle and right on a defence of adjustment nobody really moves over the guy they are suppose to cover. Linebackers never go over the man they are covering and DB's wont slider over really either? patch #2 made the game a lot better just need the AI sliders now.

Those were simmed stats? With all the complaints about receivers not getting enough yards etc... this are double what a great season would be .
