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

[muktownballer33]

Just finished my first play now game post patch. Texans (me) vs Cowboys. All-pro default, 15 min quarters, 25 second run off.

Game was great. Dallas scored first on a TD to Roy Williams in the back of the endzone. Romo got hurt on the pass and was out the whole rest of the first half. I answered with a TD to Johnson to tie it up at 7. 2 plays later Barber fumbles, Cushing recovers and I run it back 17 yards for 6. It was awesome cause Barber got stood up on a toss left and my corner came in and caused the fumble. Kitna did nothing and I was able to take a 17-7 lead into the half. Dallas came back to cut the lead to 3 with 6 minutes to go, but I was able to answer back and ended up winning the game 27-14.

Overall it was the best game I've ever played on default settings. Dallas stuck to the run all game cause Romo was out. I really felt the game would have been MUCH tighter if Romo had not gotten hurt. I controlled the ball all game (42min TOP) and had 10 pts off Dallas turnovers.

I'm not going to jump the gun and say this game is fixed quite yet. I felt this game played great. Take away the 2 Dallas turnovers and have Romo play the whole game and this game would have been COMPLETELY different.

As of right now I'm very pleased!!

Still no fix on warping, bad CPU play calling and Defensive/Offensive line play Took EA this long to come out with this patch tsk tsk tsk

I'm glad to hear about the cover 2. We have cover 2 soft for the purpose of playing a hook zone.. .we don't need flat zone CB's doing it too. This finally differentiates those 2 plays more. Before the adjustment people could fling those flats balls all day against cover 2 zone and break the CB's tackle off a block... it drove me nuts.

Now, anyone confirm the ball trajectory stuff?

Zone depth?

Pursuit?

This far, I haven't really noticed all that much other then polish for the player models, which always get way more attention the game play...

When players play a blitz... BOOM! The screen sets in just fine, so blitzers will still cry foul when the screens still burn their constant blitzing. I haven't really noticed anything else...

I really don't care about the stats... I play the season, I don't sim it... I don't care about little numbers and emblems on the backs of players heads since all you see is a player making a huge glitchy run down the sidelines, in perfect uniforms... Nice.

How about we fix the animation and game play stuff next year and worry about the "little" things once the "important" stuff is done... I appareciate the Seahawks jerseys being in there now, but that should have been a release thing...

well the flat is covered but the safeties drop too far back so all u have to do now to beat cover 2 is throw the ball up the hash and the safeties are too far away to react on the play

Can anyone confirm if they fixed coach mode? like basically made it how it use to be where you can't control any of the players after the snap? thanks.

You could do that anyway. I did it all the time. Glad to see the flats get hit. I bet they did help on the cover 3 part also.

Any word on man coverage of RB's by LB's in the flat?

Cover 3 still busted. LBS cant get into the right position fast enuf or dont get to their zone fast enuf

How hard is it to get man align to actually work. All it does is freeze your defenders. They don't even align to their man. Flats are still broken, sim stats broke as well. Typical EA, one step forward two steps back.
