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

does anyone know if the patch "fixed" the fix for the strat pad... as is you still have to take your finger off the left stick and move it to the d pad in order to line move etc. and that was what the whole issue was about for me.... this is especially problematic for players who play both ncaa and madden.... for years theyve had the same controls... why change something that isnt broken.... the one thing most people ive talked to agree is the control scheme is the one thing theyve always got right... fix the F!@$#^* gameplay... why release madden 10 (also ncaa 11) controls if they dont work... all ea does is break promises made to the consumer... why release it if its broken... why put patches into microsoft a month before the game comes out... why not put what was broken into the game... and its going to stay like this as long as we (the gaming community) let it... after all we buy the games while they sit back and say.... SUCKERS!!!

If I download 1.03 will the updates apply for inprogress franchise? Or will I have to start my franchise over to notice the updates? Any help would be great. Thanks

any word as far as franchise weather - eg raining Week 1 in Jville or raining inside Cowboys Stadium?

i was hoping this would fall under the "various other fixes" category.

LOL...good to know that's going to be addressed. Since it's server related that probably means they can fix it on their end, without need of a patch.

The only injuries i get in my games is when a defender tackles the quarterback the defender is injured 100% of the time. Weird

One thing I really like: the supposed tuning down big plays (I'm a 360 user, so I don't have it yet). Big plays weren't killing this game, but they were contributing to obnoxious high scoring games.

But, the kickoff returns are disappointing. I managed to average about the 25 yard line on kickoff returns, and I returned one kickoff with Danny Amendola in 15 games on a Rams franchise. Not perfect, but if you add a couple yards to the average, then we're there.

But now, I can see me returning 10 kicks per season, and that alone is going to screw up the scores. It was hard enough to get a low scoring game with no INT returns and no KO TDs.

I can hit stick again, now wr's who come in the middle of the field will get lit up by safeties and lb's.
