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

[Jackdog]

This was an impressions thread. It turned into a 2K vs EA thread. Closed.

Second chance. If this turns into a EA vs 2K debate it will be locked.

I don't think this sim stats thing is that big of a deal. I will just make every team's coaching sliders of Run vs. Pass at 60. I don't think many of you care that much about attempts. QBs will still have stats like pre-patch but I never found them too bad. The HBs will now have a good YPC, yards, and TDs. Somebody confirmed this had worked.

And for the person that said 32 team franchises is impossible due to CAP is wrong. What he did wrong was he did not set all the other CPU teams to CPU in their franchise settings. If he did so, the Saints would've easily been fine with their CAP. Everything else you can easily fix by just letting the CPU sign players for the other teams or clearing CAP penalties. I've done 10 years of 32 team franchises and never had it ruined by a team getting into too much CAP problem.

I have the 360, so would anyone be nice enough to do this, and simulate a season and give me stats of the top QBs and top HBs and some back-up HBs. Would be very nice.

I later will be checking out stuff to fix the sacks.

I have a question for the guys that aren't happy with the gameplay. Did you guys reset your sliders because if the game was tuned, sliders could really be out of whack now.

For instance, someone mentioned LBs not covering well, but if you have your CPU reaction time on defense too low based on how it played before, that could really have changed.

For those of you that aren't happy with the patch, you can do lb rb xx lb rb to clear the cache, or now you can choose the hdd press Y and choose clear cache or drive maintenance or whatever they call it now. (lb means left bumper, etc. on the controller)
But remember you will be back to the release day version of Madden with no patches then. You also won't be able to get new rosters via Live, only through xchange or xport.

I have posted the patch before this one (#1) in Xport format in my blog if you have that and you can reload it using that if you need to. I am going to save it (patch 1) before I download this one in case I want to go back to patch 1 state.

I don't know how different the retail release is versus the last patch #1(not this new one) since I never played the retail release only (and I never knew what patch #1 "fixed", I just accepted it). Anyone think retail is better than patch #1 (or #2 for that matter)

For Madden 11, it seems to me that the Madden team needs to address the stat engine since Franchise is so important to many Madden players. It can be done and it is not rocket science (this coming from a computer science/mathematics major )

Also, they need to work on the OL/DL interaction and pass coverage issues. The game is very close imo. If they focus on GAMEPLAY next year and not some gimmick (like the Sony team did with MLB 09 The Show (they focused on gameplay, of course they had some issues too with their game, but the gameplay was solid imo), they could have a great NFL game. To be fair, keep in mind how far this game has come since the first one on PS3/360 (I know, I know, about the game that won't be mentioned by me).

Overall, I like the game this year much better than the other 360/PS3 ones, and if the flats are fixed and the CPU can be sacked, I will probably like the new patch. I personally can live with the stat problems, although it is not ideal, but I understand why others would feel otherwise.
