Madden NFL 12 Title Update #2 Available Now For 360, Post Impressions Here

Impressions from an Online player

Disclaimer: Some of the changes I have noticed could be my opponents shutting down my offensive gameplan or patch adjustments.

Since the patch I have noticed Rt and Lt tackles have trouble blocking on power and sweeps. It seems that as soon as I attempt to hit the corner or cut in the DE's immediately disengage. Again this could just be my imagination.

I have also noticed defensive backs have been taking some poor angles towards the ball carrier and also behaving differently to a Wide out catching a ball. It is almost like they have been toned down. To somewhat counter this I attempt to user defend most passes, but sometimes they're just in weird positions.

Defense tackles and ends on pass plays seem to get less push than before as well. Could be my imagination.

I would love to have the point of view of players who prefer a "ranked" online match.

Has anyone else experienced an immense amount of freezing since downloading the patch?

It seems to happen at the loading screen before a franchise game or at the coin toss most times. That was happening when I tried to continue a franchise started prior to the recent patch. I started a new franchise after the patch just to test it out and while I did get a game in, it froze immediately after the game .

Disclaimer: it could very well be my Xbox. It's red-ringed twice in the past 8 months and when I had it fixed by "Gamer Doc", the guy mentioned that it's getting quite old (Elite from '07). I haven't played any of my other games to see if they too would freeze. I haven't seen it talked about much on the boards, so I'm leaning towards it being my Xbox.

Is anyone still having rain issues? I restarted my franchise, I know i have the patch because i can edit players and they dont loose their roles. So did they not fix this? its still raining every game!

Can someone tell me if the Breast Cancer Awareness Month was included in the patch for OFFLINE EXHIBITION???? I can't seem to get an answer about offline exhibition. It should be in the setup page b4 u go in game. Same spot where u choose Super Bowl or Holidays. I did download the patch but I'm wondering if it didn't download correctly. I realize that Breast Cancer Awareness Month is in Franchise, but last year EA added the BCAM mode via patch #2 to the setup screen for offline exhibition. I do not have this option in my setup screen. Thanks so much! Later

It's not available for exhibition this year. To many complaints about it.

By the 5th year, the NFL looks like a circus with the distorted equipment and players, a HUGE graphics/visual setback. Absolutely destroyed franchise for me, and that's not even addressing the UDFA fiasco that FORCED me to waste inumerable hours to manage all 32 teams. One of the most frustrating Madden versions ever for this franchise guy.

I don't want this to get lost in the shuffle.. unfortunately, this is also what has kept me from playing franchise mode. Stat tracking is an issue as well. I still enjoy ultimate team and the occasional ranked match though.

Just out of curiosity, just what is it about the UDFAs on the CPU teams that make the game so unplayable?

I get the big shoulder pads and the arm wraps may really just get under people's skin, but as far as actually playing the game, what does it do that makes people unable to cope?
