Madden NFL 10 Patch #2 Available, Impressions Here (360)

I need to know if they fixed the man align,it never worked the right way and I'm tired of my SS having to cover the RB out of the backfield and being way out of position,a simple man align should move him over the RB or switch the SS over the TE and have some1 closer to the LOS cover the RB.

Interesting. I've read the last four pages here and was pleasantly surprised to see almost all positive feedback for the 360 patch. I thought for sure the reviews would be consistent with the PS3 feedback, which seemed about 50-50 at best.

I actually had the game tuned to my liking with sliders before the first patch, which was an unmitigated disaster (I didn't think it was possible to make a game worse with a patch, but leave it to EA).

Anyway, for the first time in about five years I'm actually pumped about an NFL game. Looking forward to downloading it tonight. Although, I'm having so much fun with NHL 10 and NBA 2k10 that I'm not sure when I'll be able to work Madden into the rotation.

If it weren't for that atrocity of a baseball game released by 2k, this would have been a monumental year in sports gaming on the 360.

That's how I feel as well. I'm gonna have to give up one or two of my bball games to get this in. Can't wait to finally finish my franchise.

He wasn't alluding my pass rush, he was literally "flicking" the ball away just before I got to him, same as pre-patch # 2.

Played one online game.. I played a healthy does of cover 3 on purpose, but I didnt feel like the guy I was playing, was that good at reading D, so i cannot tell if he wanted to swing it out to Chris Johnson, and couldnt..or if he just wasnt that good.

He tried the usual Chris Johnson counter to the outside prostitution out of jumbo sets..and my LBs did seem to take better angles.


I did complete a pass that I rarely complete though...deep corner to the slot WR...usually this is warp INT or super LB deflection territory, but I was able to get the throw in there.

Small sample size, but I did feel like I didnt have to constantly manually jump the flat routes.

Man I am loving the patch right now. Played three games so far, and it was great then I realized my fatigue was set on the old patch standards and the game became awesome. CPU can run, the flats are open only if the play u call doesnt cover them and even then they flow to the ball pretty quickly. I was going to wait for the roster update tomorrow to start my franchise but Im so excited about the way the game plays Im just going to do it tonight. Only thing, is anyone else not getting replays on touchdowns?
