Madden NFL 10 Blog: 2nd Title Update Preliminary Details

[nylawyer]

Little disappointed in no AI fixes - punting at wrong times (25 yards and under), incorrect 2 minute clock management, not punting for the corners when CPU can pin them inside the 10

So Ian whatever happened to the genius Idea of "Jostling"????? Instead of fixing replays you should have put Jostling in the game.

Given the significant time lapse between release and the first really substantive patch (title update my eye), this initial list is truly not real encompassing. Many other very substantive issues discussed in this thread which are not mentioned at all in that blog post.

Is a patch #3 in the plans, as was the case with NCAA 10?

Wow, just stop man. Some of you guys wonder why Ian doesn't post that much any more. This post is a prime example.

It's not a substantive patch because not everything listed on the blog is final. I thought that was pretty clear from reading the blog.

Patch #2 is still being worked on, hard to determine if there will be a patch 3 if we don't know what's all in patch #2, in my opinion.

Not the best style or approach but the jostling issue is a legit one we should expect to be patched. We shouldn't have to play on very slow to get all the animations, or whatever other trick people have been reporting to produce the jostling. Just as we shouldn't have to play on the highest play selection setting hardcore to reduce the CPU blitzes.

I said patch #2 is the first SUBSTANTIVE patch. IMHO #1 did very, very, little to address the myriad of community reported issues.

Yeah, I agree.

Since roadman mentioned a Patch 3, I'd have to say I hope EA doesn't do a 3rd update unless Patch 2 royally f***s something up. Enough time has been spent fixing this game and it'd be better to just 100% focus on 2011 now.
