Make sure you're xbox or ps3 is online when you boot the game up and it will automatically ask you if you want to download it. It takes less than a minute

Guys,

This is my very first post here and I have played Madden since the original version on PC many years ago.

After the patch, and playing on "My Skill" settings, which I might add are pretty high for my level, I have to say that the game seems to be where it needs to be for a fun and "simulating" experience.

I'm noticing that guys on defense must be in position and looking at the ball to intercept or make "super plays" and I'm seeing mistakes on the CPU side of the ball.

I know that my opinion may not be very popular with all the bashing about what still isn't perfect, but I must say it is the game I expected it to be now...finally.

Just my thoughts...I'm not sure if anyone out there agrees at all but it is just my 2 cents worth as a first-time "post-er" here.

I just created a new silver account and I immediately had one download, and a roster update when I went to a quick match. How do I know if I have the latest patch (#2)???

I thought I saw that we can go to a certain screen and verify we have version 1.2 .... but I'm not sure where that is? I appreciate any help because I don't want to start a franchise until I know I have the latest patch.

Thanks!

The game plays exactly the same. Kickoff coverage is awful and the play clock didn't get fixed. Oh well. We got fields degrading and shoulder pads fixed though!

Two things...

First, is it me or does the CPU run more now? The CPU has NEVER run for 100 yards against me, but in my second game of my new franchise (going with the Chiefs) the Raiders ran for 120 yards between Russell and their HB. Did Russell Always run? I have only been the Giants and Browns for a few franchise games and never noticed a running QB.

Second, my defenders seem more aware of the passes in the air and have batted down MANY more balls. I can't be calling a better game all of the sudden. I think my defenders are useful now.

Robo QB was gone, BUT I played the Pats (GUTIERREZ BECAUSE CASSEL ALSO GOT HURT!) and Jamarcus(who is new to this whole deal).

Guys i just got off work and don't have time to read all 20 something pages(my lil girl wants to go outside ha). I just want to know real quick did they do anything to make the CPU stop throwing at a high %? ROBO QB as yall call it

Edit the guy above said it was gone

Gone, yes, but that may be just because of the two QBs I played. Their completion percentage was 58 and 62 which is fine....but they also are horrible.

I usually watch Rothlesburger run up and down the field and pass at will (especially when under pressure).

So far...
