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

Oh man! Forgot to ask...

How is the Pass rush for the uncontrolled players (I.E. My teams CPU rush/blitz)?
Is the QB A.I. better for throwing balls away at the last millisecond?

[canes21]

Has anyone tried controlling every team and messing with the Pass/ Run ratio thing and simming a season?

Maybe I am the strange one here. But when I get a patch I jump in and play a game to notice how different it plays. I have many many months of checking out the sim stats. I can live with sim stats that are off a little. But I can't live with gameplay that sucks.

Plus the debate about simming is faster than playing a game or two is BS. It takes 30 to 45 mins to play a quick game. To sim a season and record stats and post it here takes that long or longer.

So while the sim stat guys might not give a crap about gameplay and want madden to be like Headcoach that is fine. But don't waste a whole impression thread of just stats. Guys are coming here and having to wade through pages and pages and pages of just sim stat talk.

Maybe I am strange

I agree Jeremy, its worth the sacrafice. Game is playing great btw. Love it.

for those that have simmed a season have you checked to see if injuries have been toned down? If I recall correctly, this is something that Josh mentioned that he was going to tweak.

Thanks in advance.

All this slider talk. This is why I'm not a fan of the user being forced to tune the game. The game should be tuned for optimal performance out of the box. Its embarrasing that people have to join a message forum to get the game to play correctly.
.
I personally am not the type to spend a month testing and calibrating a game before I can enjoy it. I will always believe that the sloders are being used as a cop out for EA instead of spending the effort to program the game properly.

Has man allign been corrected? Or do I still have to run one all game

But it takes more than one game to really get the feel of gameplay, imo. Really, probably need to pick one thing and focus on that all game or two or three, then look at something else and focus on watching it for a few games, etc. Different teams, sliders, etc.

We know how random the game can be - if you get a game where the QB still manages to get the ball off and then come here saying "they didn't fix it" when you really just got "one of those games", it's not much more accurate of an impression, imo.

Phobia, I feel what you are saying. However, (and I am only speaking for myself here) I need to know how bad this stats issue is because if it is as F'd up as everyone says it is, gameplay is irrelevant because I won't play the game anymore. May sound silly, but all I play in sports games are franchise modes and if the stats aren't at least close to realistic, the game isn't even worth owning in my opinion.
