Menus are apparently very difficult things to do. Not something that was feasable to add for a patch. This will certainly be fixed for Madden 11.

aww great. going on vacation from wed all the way till early january so i wouldn't get to play madden with the new patch release for the 360.

but hey, i guess there's something that i'll be anticipating once the holiday season is over and i get the chance to turn on the madden

Could anyone tell me if they are seeing any new animations and if so describe them..also anyone noticing any new penalties being called pass interference etc...

ok, so the Jim Johnson tribute sticker was put in the game. but, just out of curiousity, is Jim Johnson still in the game? in my franchise (pre patch 2), he's still alive and is the head coach of the Panthers.

Here's some positive impressions I haven't seen posted yet...


The extra time allowed to finish post-play scenes had a very nice effect in a game I'm playing right now. With 5 seconds left in the half and a decent lead over the Jets with Washington, I go to kick a 40 yrd FG and as it passes through the uprights there's one second left on the clock. Now, in every Madden I've ever played, the precise cut-off leaves that one second to have to squib kick. In real life, however, the refs ALWAYS let the clock run that last second or two off to go to the half. Well, I was very pleasantly surprised to see it cut directly to the halftime animation of my team running into the tunnel. It's the little things in life, I guess.

Also, the new replays after touchdowns were much needed and appreciated here. Now, if we can just get back the nice little ability to cause a replay ourselves without pausing. Back in last gen, I believe, you could press L2 and R2 to go to a replay at the end of a play.

after playing with this patch, i guess this is my thoughts.

EA now, at this point, has created a satisfactory next-gen football game.

PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! Build from this and refine some of the small points, but don't mess anything up for next year's game!

another quick impression:


I just kicked a FG to put me up 30 to 19 with WAS @ NYJ and I saw a cutscene for the first time where the disgusted home fans were shown shaking their heads, getting up and leaving...

maybe the patch opened it up like how the first patch opened up the sideline ref conference over pass completions...?


one sad thing though... I'm still getting the fatigue hiccup in my run
