So you're sure you don't have the patch? Easy way to check is to see if you have the Broadcast camera option in your settings. Are you connected to Live prior to launching Madden?

I didn't check for the broadcast cam but I did check out Farve and he didn't have his career stats and I heard people say the career stats for Farve and Vick were patched though.

And yeah I did connect prior to launching madden.

With 360 users, there's a bug with the patch and AFL DLC stuff. If you haven't downloaded the AFL DLC then you won't have Favre's and Vick's career stats in the game, as well as the 49ers helmet fix. It's annoying and it seems like you have to pay for the patch. But it's a bug/glitch, and the only way to have their stats and the 49ers helmet fix is to download the AFL DLC. Once you download the AFL stuff, then you'll see the Vick/Favre stats and the 49ers helmet will be fixed. Again, it's a wierd bug/glitch and it's only an issue with 360 users.

An easy to way see if you have the patch, is to go to the main menu and see if there's an option that says "AFL Legacy Mode." If you have that option in the main menu, then you have the patch. If not, then try clearing your cache and rebooting Madden to see if the game prompts you to download the patch.

Hope that helps.

I know Cedric Griffin is not exactly a speedster and is known to get beat, but WOW. At least 4 of his catches were for over 50 yards. I run alot of zone D, and it was like my guys didn't have a clue...at least 2 of his 80+ bombs were ones where he was COMPLETELY uncovered. Weak. His 25 yarder was due to me running an all out blitz, so that was cool, but c'mon! Granted it was just one game, but the Rams never seemed to even attempt to run the ball. I ended up losing an OT game on a fumble by Chester Taylor and the ensuing field goal(which made the game fun anyways) but I will grow weary of this crap if it happens with any regularity. Anyone else see anything like this?

My first game was against the Rams as well. I was the Bears. Bulger was hurt in my franchise but Jackson tore me up. 8 catches for 101 yds, 2 TD, and he had 107 yds rushing on 20+ carries. Their longest pass on me was maybe 25 yds. Regardless, I got served.

I have my issues with the game, but the use of the RB was quite prevalent in my game. Maybe you need some slider tweaking, or maybe it was just one of those games....hopefully.

Yep...for me its on the plays that go up the sidelines.

Well one thing I noticed for sure is the kickoff/punt returns. I started my franchise with the 49ers and Rossum had 7...I repeat 7 kickoff return touchdown in 4 games.. I mean, I'm a decent gamer but I had no problem getting those kickoff returns for a TD. Don't know if anyone has seen or experience this, but my setting for rushing is on 20.
