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

Is the 360 patch out yet?

It's odd, but earlier today for the first time ever I returned a KO for TD in my franchise... no patch download, nothing.

Haven't noticed much of a difference...

no fix for the sock glitch about half the teams have in the uniform select screen? they add alternate uniforms but the ones on the disc don't work right?

So I played one game with Patch 1.03. Here is what I noticed:

• The pass defense is a little better. It seems like defenders react quicker to passes now. You still have to call the right plays or else your D will get lit up.
• Broken tackles have decreased dramatically. It seemed like almost every first hit was a tackle.
• Play-Action blocking is greatly improved. I do not have to scramble immediately after faking the handoff now.
• Run defense seems to have improved a little as well.
• Kick returns are more or less the same as before. However, it does seem like you can get more yards now. For example, instead of reaching the 15-20, you can get to the 25-30 now.
• The Kick Meter seems to have slowed down just a little bit. The speed is still dependent on the Kicker's ratings and the difficulty.

Overall, the game seems to play much better with the new patch.

I have played a couple of games and they seem to have fixed or atleast toned down the annoying throw while being sacked animation.

I did play against Jason Campbell & Vince Young who arn't the best QBs in the world but so far im liking the changes, game feels like its not broken.

They should really release the games in this state rather then make us suffer for a month through glitches and terrible AI & player interactions

Good, this was a really nagging problem for me.

I like it. Pass D is a bit better. Kick meter being too slow is my only gripe.

Maybe it was an online glitch, but I could not call a fair catch on a punt which I proceeded to fumble and cost me the game.
