Agreed. Getting some excellent games against the CPU. It's too bad the sim stats still have some issues, but other than that this game is damn solid now.

I was already enjoying the game pre-patch, minus the stats issue, but now, this game for me is golden. Well done.

That's awesome they don't sell out blitz all the time now. They didn't even put that into the blog details so I was wondering if that got fixed.

For all you PS3 guys, was some of the stats (rushing yards, sacks) the only thing that was made worse with the patch? If that's the case then I can't wait until Thursday or Friday.

Outside of blown sideline catches that are called incomplete when they aren't and the HB stats, thats all that i've really seen thats worse than pre-patch.

The sideline catches thing doesn't sound too good but other than that, sounds like the game is a lot better.

At first I was kind of upset about the stats but thinking about it, I've already gone through tons of seasons of Madden 07 and 08 on PS2 in the past where the rushing stats were inflated so it's not that big of a deal.

What is the sideline catch glitch? I've seen some catches on the sideline that were ok. Is it the animation where the receiver tries to keep his feet in bounds that you're referring to?

Very good patch! The stats being insanely high is the only complaint I have. Hopefully there will be a small patch to fix this.

Thanks for the info. Looking foward to it even more, although when it releases for 360, I will be one week away from getting MW2.
