Madden 09 Patch #2 Released, Impressions Here

[Flamehead]

A complete shot in the dark here, but with all the "little things" some believe they may be seeing, has anyone noticed anything different regarding fatigue post-patch #2?

I know that wasn't an item being worked on, but I'm just curious.

No, apparently you have to start all over again. It was supposed to work with existing franchises...but doesn't now.

Can you continue your franchise with the patch? Is the cpu players running out of bounds after a catch fixed too??

I just played like one quarter, and I see a big change. I like it, I can finally start a franchise. Also did anyone notice the light bulb flashing seems to be tuned down a bit too, or is that just me?

Ok, I went back and started an actual franchise, that I will now start controlling more of, instead of just simming. I largely sim through Franchise anyway, so that is what I will be doing...and here's the deal:
Controlling all 32 Teams
Importing NCAA Draft Classes

I simmed through the pre-season of Year 1, and am now at the Regular Season. I trained my first active team, which was the Bears...just to see if doing that would generate a freeze. So far, Freeze Free...and I played the Mini Games and all with no problem.
That's all so far, as I progress more...I will report back. If I get a freeze, I will report back sooner.

I know this is a dumb question.But,Im not sure I got the patch.So please answer me this.I went too Game Utility on xmb-Madden file/information,and it says version 1.20,does this mean I got the #2 patch ? I watch t.v. while game loads,And just push -X- for a few seconds too skip intro loading screens.I think I might have downloaded it in the blind. Thanks for the help

Damn, man!

How much do you want TO to progress? would think if he's performing like that, there really should be no further progression. i mean NO ONE has ever had a year close to those numbers. Why would you want him to progress beyond that? That's already a bit too much.

Besides do you realize how old TO is? In real life, you would have to expect his performance to start dropping from here on out. What's he like 34 or something?

When editing a player, their draft status still changes to "Free Agent". Wasn't this supposed to be fixed?

Other than that I'm really liking this patch so far!
