Man i just got trampled on in a few games since the patch via their running game..

dude..you MUST redo the sliders, i actually felt the same way at first then i decied to just delete all my saves and start over..new sliders,etc and this game is nice with the patch..heck it was decent before the patch with my custom sliders but post patch it feels even better with my new custom sliders, just reset your sliders if you dont want to lose anything.

I cannot play Madden on-line (which I like to do from time to time) unless they fix the "flats" issue. If I blitz anybody the flats are wide open every time. I bet 80% of passes completed on-line are to the RB's. Any news if this will be fixed for the second patch?

Thanks!

Well lesse...

It's caused my offensive players to mysteriously be playing on defense.
Framerate drops on big plays now.
Increase in AI kick return ability having them start at the 30 almost every time now.

The replays still get cut off.

Quite the impressive screw up.

I appreciate that other people are bringing this up. I was really dissapointed that the AFL pack didn't correct the Chargers' throwback helmets. Not only are the bolts wrong, the facemask looks white. It should be gray like the majority of the other AFL throwback helmets. If they actually did fix the 49ers helmet color in a patch, I hope the same guy can fix the Chargers' helmet. It looks terrible.

I'm bummed that the patch didn't fix the 49ers helmet. It looks like the fix is attached to the AFL DLC.

As always with Madden, they are a lot of new problems with the patch that didn't happen before.

-For instance, the ticker shows wrong facts for teams now.

-Sometimes the refs rule an incomplete pass a catch when it was a drop or clearly out of bounds, but luckily the game doesn't actually rule it that way.

-The WR STILL don't try and actually stay in bounds when they catch the ball, it seems the patch just increased the amount of times they do the cut scene with the refs making the call, which is wrong half the time.

-A LOT more holding penalties on kick off returns.

-Kick off returns are MUCH easier now, I always can get past the 30 yard line on kick offs or a TD about every other game now.

Some good things:
-The run game is a little better.

-I love the new AFL uniforms, but I guess thats not patch related.

-And I don't see as many pick sixes.
