You just have to pick your poison on defense in this game. Manually controlling a pass rusher gives you a better pass rush at the expense of leaving your secondary extremely vulnerable. Controlling a secondary player helps your pass coverage but leaves you with an abysmal pass rush that won't get off blocks or sprint after the QB.

Yes, this is a big problem that needs to be addressed and could go a long way in making Madden solid on defense. If I remember, you can't even bring them up manually and switch players without the CPU moving them back. Plus, the CPU snaps the ball so fast, you don't have time to make any adjustments.

Have they addressed how fast the CPU snaps the ball when they are on offense? It wouldn't have been hard to have the CPU not snap the ball until there is less than 10 seconds on the clock if you are playing accelerated clock.

wow, I'm really enjoying this game now. I hadnt played it for a month and I saw on here that the patch was out, so I dl'd it. First game out, Titans (me) @ Colts, we go to OT, and I win on TD by Chris Johnson. Exciting game all the way through.

All I have to say is, this game plays so much smoother now, the tackles are more fluid and realistic. It's just better overall. This game now feels complete to me.

Is it still fair to us that they have an exclusive license? NO. Competition would better the Madden product by 10 times I guarantee. I also have a little experience in programming and game design. From a sim standpoint it absolutely cannot be that difficult to get the stats in line with an average of what the numbers have been over the last 10 years or so. Not let one area suffer to correct something that really isnt that important to begin with. IE: backup RBs carries and yards in sim. Ive said it once and ill say it again. To make a superb football game, sim and gameplay-wise. It requires people working on the project that watch a ton of football, know alot of detail, and are students of the game. EA needs to find some of those out of work coaches to come in and help them out. And some former players to help with gameplay. Get a stat guru as well. Im not knocking EAs dev teams whatsoever, but guys with degrees in programming and game design are not going to be fully certified to make an authentic football game. Im sorry. They need the football guys in there helping them. Bottom line.

People need to understand EA doesn't have good Dev's.. plain and simple they suck. They could put out 10 more Patches and the game would still have problems! Sorry, but it's the plain truth.

They have been trying to put out a decent Football game for years now and it still doesn't come close to a game that is 5 years old in 2K5. What does that really tell you?? I mean come on Patches? That alone tells you they can't get the job done.. Did 2K or any football game before ever have patches after their releases? EA needs to step up and start putting more quality in their games especially Football..

Are the boxes, where the numbers should be, on the back of the helmets fixed?

I have only tried the Patriots so far, but they had the numbers back on the helmets. No more boxes!
