NO

I'm so happy I don't notice or care about most of the things you guys complain about. Madden10 was the 1st madden I ever purchased(I'm a ncaa guy) and I've been hooked and happy since day 1. Yea sure I have small gripes like the flats and hb direct, but nothing game breaking. It might also help I rarely play the cpu.

It's the issue where a 25 rated olineman can dominate a 99 rated dlineman consistently. Or an entire oline of 12 rated chumps push around a dline of 99 rated studs and Albert Haynsworth not begin able to shed the block of a punter who was placed on the line. I'll just have to chalk this omission up to the "it's a lot of work" department. Ian, please make this a priority for Madden 2011. See the this thread for details: http://www.operationsports.com/forum...ter-bunny.html

I've seen a video about this. Pretty sure this would never happen in real life. Definitely needs to be addressed.

Great news, this sounds like a spectacular patch update that should improve the game dramatically.

While I do agree with sports games needing/having patches...the one flaw in your response (which is in bold)....the big deal is length of season.

By the time (usually) Madden gets its patch(s) we're usually in mid to late Oct/Nov...or Dec....see the problem yet? By this time alot of cats have already moved on to other games,as the football season is nearing it's conclusion.

Compared to the other sports (Hockey,Baseball and Basketball) whose seasons are much longer...82,82 and 162, the waiting for Madden is more troublesome. At least with those other games,you can still salvage a decent season/franchise.

I guess it would all boil down to how dedicated someone is,but in comparison to the other sports,Madden SHOULD be a more complete game from the get-go.
I don't have any issues with patches,but when they get released so late in the football season (for major issues) it just zaps any excitement from wanting to play the game anymore.

I'm still running a "test" franchise,and for the most part still able to find SOME fun,but to be honest,my patience is getting VERY thin at this point.

It'd be nice if the shadow in Qualcomm Stadium were fixed, as it should cover the southwest side of the field, not the northwest; the shadow is correct in NCAA 10. It'd also be pretty sweet to get the cannon after a TD at Qualcomm, which is also in NCAA 10.
