so it had 1 problem. compared to All the problems that 10 has and most of them effect the gameplay which is the most important part of the game. Draft class is a very minimum problem. i dont remember ppl cacthing the ball out of bounds and it being called in. I dont remember pursuit angles that are worst than tecmo bowl. I dont remember defensive AI running routes b4 ur wr does. I Also dont remember blocks being non existent on last gen. I rest my case.

Hey, Ian, I have a questions: are the cleveland browns' browns pants are in the new patch? Could you at least answer that? I know that the hawks green jersey are in? If the browns pants STILL aren't in, then that's a big big oversight on your part.

it would really be nice to be able to play the game in franchise mode. I haven't touched it since it came out...

Sad that I have to wait 3 months or more before I can actually play the game it was intended to be played

[DOPESQUAD V3NOM]

i hope that u guys TEST IT be4 it comes out...PLEASE NO GLITCHES...PATCH #1 was obviously untested and unfinished

This is not the case. The developers have taken a laid back approach because they didn't have to worry about any other game. Now it may be their own arrogance that costs them. They learned nothing form 09, and I'm guessing they will learn nothing from this year. From micro transactions to ripped out incomplete features Madden 10 is just in shambles. The first patch caused more problems than it fixed, and I'm seriously thinking that it will take more than 2 to address them all. Is it easy to put out an annual release, most deffinetly not, but when you have the better part of 10 years to refine a product, most companies don't have that luxury. Imagine an antivirus company putting out a product as bug ridden as Madden 10... they would not exist next year. Firewall developer... gone if it didn't do what it promised. The game is good, but didn't deliver as promised!

Oh, good, TreFacTor, u picked on me. Been a long time since someone tried to start something with me, and this one time, in band camp...
Anyway, nah, I get where you're coming from but u ALSO have to consider the transition from generation to generation and each different console. Dude, the PS3 version of Madden 08 had me actually trading it BACK in to get ANOTHER PS2 version of Madden 08 although I had originally purchased the PS2 version on the day of release and traded it in with my PS2 to help get my PS3. THAT was an abomination when I had already played the smoother than Starsky and Hutch version for the 360. Now, was it the best game, ever, even on the 360? To many, no, but at least it ran and looked smoooooovvve unlike the PS3 version yet I say all this to point out that I understood that the PS3 was still proving to be a difficult for them to handle, at the time, even though it was there SECOND Madden on the PS3.

To wrap that - I had understanding...even though I did have the option to go back to a better playing last gen version, imo...but I wanted a good playing PS3 Madden!!! Lol...

There are always going to be a ton of bumps and bruises in dealing with new systems, trying to port code and try new things and all that, and if these current gen systems stick around for another 5-6yrs or more, hell, Madden COULD finally turn out to be THAT football game that everyone always wanted...but then we may get the next gen consoles and be sent back 6 yrs. Lol.

As for the devs taking it easy and/or "being lazy"? I wouldn't go there, my friend. You can't speak on that. Again, u are only seeing fruits of labor, at the end of the day, not what goes into getting those fruits together. That is subjective and assuming things you don't have a clue about but you can bet that they have pre-production, many meetings, alpha deadlines, beta deadlines, demo deadlines, testing, final code deadlines yada and all the other headaches that go along with creating a video game and not necessarily in that order. There is a LOT going on that you don't see but, I, myself, am fairly aware of. It ain't easy. This is also why I don't blow my stack about games not quite being to my liking and I take an overall account as to what's been done.

Anyway, got my SAME Madden Moment on pause that I've been trying to beat. Maybe I will, today?? Ha...

A patch would not include uniform changes. I guarantee it.

[ch46647]

Dave, I have no idea if the Browns pants are in, however the patch does include the Sehawks "green" uniforms. Ian posted on his twitter that they would be included in patch 2 and even showed a picture of them in the uniform selection screen.

[carnalnirvana]

i know to each his own but, what good is uniforms if the gameplay is still broken.

its so dissappointing that they actually spent a minute of patch development time fixing unis, because if coverage or blocking is still broken then this game is useless.....how do you get unis wrong


thats why shooters have completely abandoned the offline aspects such as bots and focus totally on online.....

this game is marginally playable only in head to head. offline games are completely stupid and flawed AI rinse and repeat tactics are old in just 2 months
