Madden NFL 10 Patch #2 Available, Impressions Here (PS3)

Also, it would be cool if console games allowed for the user to predetermine the stat output like OOTP does. You could then say what the avg rushing totals for a season should be along with the yardage, TD's by a RB, and many other stats. Actually, I think OOTP does it for TOTALS in a season, so total TD's scored on the ground in the NFL, etc.

It would basically be a way of predeterming a simulated season without having to know the results right away.

First off i would like to say i am ashamed off u people. First u complain about the patch taking to long and then when it comes out you get on there backs cuz its not up to your standards. Second i am going to college for video games design and i have made games before and it is extremely difficult especialy with people nit picking about everything.

And overall the YPC get REALLY crazy at times.

Why the development team would raise this to help the backup RBs numbers is really really stupid. I dont see how anyone thought that it would be a good idea to do that.

LEADER IN YARDS: LaDainian Tomlinson 1777 LEADER IN TDS: Chris Johnson 16 Peyton Manning was the only 4,000 yard passer and he led TDs with 38. Shawn Merriman lead tackles with 122.

Thanks, that is good news for sure!

Time to start a new Franchise!

It has gotten a little worse though. But not insane enough to be a gamekiller. The YPC is whats rediculous.

Also a problem Ive had since the start was that RBs age never affects them. Tomlinson is still going 1500 strong after 3-4 years. At that pace he will SHATTER Smiths rushing record.

I saw some more on the "bad" side, but still livable in my opinion. Passing stats look fine. Rushing stats:

25 over 1,000 yards
2 over 2,000 yards (not impossible)

What really stands out the most are the averages per carry. Way too high! I think that would have alleviated the problems with rushing if those were held in check.

I assume you can delete this patch if you prefer the last version? It sounds like in trying to fix some things (mainly simulated statistics) they went overboard. Given the choice I'd rather have the slightly low rushing TD's and slightly high pass TD's then the annual 2000+ yard rushers. Rushers rarely (I believe only 5 times) hit 2000 yards but passing TD's get higher and higher almost yearly considering Brady and Manning each broke the pass TD record within the last 5 years.
