Holding penalties happen a lot... Dallas had three straight plays in which they got called for holding, putting them in a 1st and 39. Those might need to be turned down a little, I had it at 100. Played a game in the pouring rain and the field was torn up and the players were covered in mud. Looked awesome!

Did you save any videos or stills?

EA SPORTS World: Madden 09 Video Highlight Miller dropped this ball with about 15 seconds or so to go and I had 1 timeout left. I had penalties maxed again, but this game they weren't in abundance. I had a total of 7 penalties in the whole game between the two teams. Pennington was definitely better going 12-18 for 156yds with 1 int. Williams carried 4 times for 15 yards. Brown had 1 for 8yds.

Did you notice if any of the money plays were fixed with this patch ? I have been using madden calls plays for a while to cut down on money plays . And are you still on all madden level?

Chill..........another person who wants a perfect game and is never gonna be happy with Madden.

I ran a quick franchise sim, and looked at the progression.

Top end guys don't really progress much, but that's okay, since players do have a ceiling. The middle of the road guys do progress though, which was the biggest problem before.

It was odd though, Tyler Thigpen progressed 5 points to 80 something with a 40 qb rating, while Matt Flynn (guess Rodgers got injured) had an 89.9 QB rating, and only moved 2 points. I didn't check pass attempt though.

Yeah so on my existing Cards franchise, Favre still has no stats, which is me also assuming that nothing from the patch is applied to it. Can anyone tell me how to get it on there, or if I'm wrong?

This patch is a game saver. I have only played one game so far but I can see the potential that this game has now. This patch has made the first worthy Madden game on a next Gen system. I would still like to see the accelerated clock and computer sliders but now I can wait for those things. I have never seen a game benefit so much from a patch before. I will definitely enjoy the rest of this NFL season. I love this game now
