Madden 09 Patch #2 Released, Impressions Here

I would think that you would have to restart your franchise mode if you were experiencing the freezing because your save file would be "corrupt" with the issue thats causing the freezing.

Just my thoughts.

Yeah, that was my thinking. Hopefully Ian or Phill will be on here later and can clear some of that up.

I can understand making AI QBs on offense taking a bit longer, but why on earth would they add this to extra points and punts as well. Just a terrible oversight. TERRIBLE.

I think whatever they patched was for the franchise file corruption (which then caused the freezing) not to occur anymore. Therefore, it would not work on already corrupted franchise files. I understand your frustrations though.

Great impressions so far. Liking what i hear about the CPU snap and the progression/regression. Keep it coming for those of us stuck at work!

hes still has an awareness of 100 at 36

but overall im satisfied with the progression/regression system. im ready to start my texans dynasty

I'm actually okay with that. It's not like he gets hit a whole lot, so awareness shouldn't go down as much as physical skills. He should be seeing a steady regression in things like speed, elusiveness, agility, etc. That's just my opinion though. At least there does seem to be regression as well as progression now

If you're still having freezing issues when training, starting a new chise will ineed fix it.
