Madden NFL 11 Patch 1.03 Available, Post Impressions Here (PS3, 360)

[EmmittSmithx22x]

Ok, just played my first gamed post patch (PS3) sorry 360 people, should have specified

But here are my impressions:

1)The game feels more fluid
2)You will never miss a FG ever in your life with how slow the kicking meter is.
3)Pass Defense feels more responsive at times, but for the most part, you can still get what you want.
4)Every Kick Return when I took it out of the Endzone i got to the 20yardline plus with Jordy Nelson (87 speed). So they really dumbed down the KR D and beefed up the blocking...Allows for more big plays. Not to thrilled with this
5)Breaking tackles seem to be alittle less frequent. but not much

Overall: The patch helps. But It wasn't game changing really. It will help you make some more stops on D at times Maybe. But... For the most part you can still get what you want. And if you don't believe me that you will never miss a FG ever again. Try kicking one for your self. You can literally start the meter. Type up a half page review and be back just in time to hit the FG.

What level were you playing on? The difficulty affects the speed of the kick meter, and it is very slow on Pro/Rookie.

Edit: It seems as though the kicking meter Online on All-Madden and the kicking Meter Offline for All-Madden might be different now? I am not sure, because I only tested it Online on All-Madden and the Meter was Extremely slow. They said that they fixed connectivity issues with the kick meter, maybe that was the way they would address it? make it so slow that even lag couldn't make it any slower? lol

But,
I played my friend on All-Madden Difficulty online. I figured that would be the best way to really put the patch to the test. Thats when I noticed the kick meter was going .0002 miles per hour.

Yeah, they didn't fix it. I can't believe it.

Fun game to watch, went right down to the wire. Stats aren't that great (aside from them being MUCH lower), but remember this is with no slider changes. This is a very abbreviated box score - I just filled in the most important parts. Total plays were extremely low at 89 - 11 minutes accelerated wasn't enough. So the stats might have been a bit higher in a full length game, but I don't think the score would be that different:

NFL Scoreboard - Washington Redskins (0-0) at Oakland Raiders (0-0)

One other bit of info - the longest play from scrimmage was a 39 - yard pass by McNabb. The second highest was McFadden's game-winning run. Everything else was below that, which means there were no huge plays in the entire game. I've never seen that at default settings (including 50 speed threshold) before this patch - EVER. That's why I don't think the score would have gotten much crazier in a full-length game. Every scoring drive was built around consistent offense and long drives - not the big play, and that was the best part about this whole game.

When I watched the 49ers Saints game on Monday, seeing P Willis making those big tackles on Bush...man did it make me miss NFL 2k5, who had very similar tackle animations to how Willis's tackles looked. And considering how much love 2k is giving it's Nba series and listening to their community, and how awesome Nba 2k11 sounds, and plays (demo), who knows how good football game could have been around by now if the exclusive license didn't exist. Madden 11 RIP Roll on Nba 2k11

Don't hold your breath on that. After reading the latest interview with Ian Cummings in Game Informer....we ain't getting **** as far as a great deep offline or online Chise. If that ends up being the case no more Madden for me till it is addressed. If it never s...this will be my last Madden game. And that's ok because I could play this for years. I am having a bunch of fun with it.

Going to DL the patch. Looks like I will have to make some slider tweaks. I am curious about the Game planning play calling logic for the AI.
