This is one of three things I want (hope?) to see addressed in the announcement of this week's list of patch issues addressed. My three are:

1. I have had four freezes where i try to press the X button to skip the halftime show. Tried four times, froze four times. Luckily, just lost the game but it is still the equivilant of 2 games of wasted time in franchise mode. Now I just sit through the half time show which is pretty boring and repetitive. EA, wish you would have filmed those broadcasters a little more. The guy says the same thing EVERY halftime show and both say the same thing EVERY Extra Point show.

2. When I throw the ball to a WR who is a good 6-7 steps from a defender, the pass goes right to the defender for an INT. Feet set, high accuracy QB? Doesn't matter. These cheap INTs that seem scripted really detract from the game.

3. CPU QBs throwing the ball away right before the sack. This happens multiple times in a game. For example, with the CB Blitz and really fast corners I have only gotten 3 sacks in 8 games but have tackled the QB just as he throws 5-10 times per game. And it always comes from the blind side so it is not like the QB can even see my guy. And to make it worse, when the few times I do hit him and cause the lame duck throw, it usually ends up still going to a WR 10 yards down the field for a 1st down. VERY FRUSTRATING!

Now I just hope the patch lives up to all our expectations. My three issues are really forcing me to stick with the game until the patch just in case but they really make it hard to enjoy the game.

I have ESPN 2K5 with updated rosters and that'll continue to be my NFL game of choice because EA can't do anything right it seems. Adios Madden. I gave you ANOTHER chance and you failed again.

Wow, that sucks. I have had several franchises running pre and post patch.

Never seen a game freeze, ever, in game or out of game.

Not until it's been approved by MS/Sony, and it's not at that stage, yet.

It is tiring to hear this "2k5 is better" every year. Why people like that come to a madden forum?

Did you know that if you make everyone's agility a 50 in madden 10 it plays so much smoother?

Tis' true...
