Madden NFL 10 Patch #1 Available, Post Impressions Here

I finally saw the "slowdown" glitch thingy.

I handed off to Jamal Lewis, he broke thru the middle, and was on his way for a 66 yd score........open field......wait, he paused. Then paused again....and again.......and was tackled at the 5 yd. line. Energy was good, as he was just put back into the game.

This has happened to Ted Ginn repeatedly in the open field when nobody should be able to catch him. It literally feels like a tractor beam sucking you into a trailing defender.

I don't mind getting caught, but I hate getting caught that way, as it feel like the CPU wants the pursuing defender to lock on regardless of ratings.

I didn't notice this before the patch--is there consensus that it's a patch-related phenomenon?

Since installing the patch I keep getting the Bengals history facts in the strip on the bottom of the screen at the start of my offline franchise games (I play as the Bucs).

It's the patch. I never saw this before the patch and I played probably 100+ games on and offline. I also never had framerate problems and I've had a number of games where the framerate dipped from time to time.

I'm holding out hope that all of this crap gets fixed in Patch 2 so I can start an offline franchise...but even then if the simmed stats are still terrible I don't see the point.

Yeah, I think it is definitely related to the patch. I never experienced this before the patch and it seems like most who are reporting it are in the same boat.

Still, it doesn't bother me that much.

What I would like to see is better pass rushing from elite d-linemen. Last night was a perfect frame of reference for EA. That's what should happen when an offensive line has poor ratings and a defensive line has 3 pro bowlers.

Well even if someone has all ready said this, Throwing to the flats still needs to be fixed up... sideline catches are alright now but I still don't think they look or work perfect.

No. Possibly will be addressed in patch #2.
