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

[LowerWolf]

Rebooted my franchise post-patch. Overall it didn't seem much different, but the CPU run defense was definitely better. Only got 64 yards with Gore, I think that's my all-time low on M11. Broken tackles are still there. The Seahawks' two TDs came when Housh and Branch both caught relatively short passes, broke a few tackles and went the distance. The CPU's kickoffs were definitely shorter.

Honestly, if the only thing that was truly fixed was the cpu run defense, I'm fairly content. Pre-patch I was destroying the cpu on the ground.

After the patch 1.03, Does the CPU still snap the ball within 2 seconds or so, or does it now give you a little more time to make your defensive reads and presnap adjustments at the Line of Scrimmage?

It's no different from before in that regard - it still snaps almost immediately when the accelerated clock is turned on. Turn if off and you'll get several seconds, at least.

Apologies, I guess you're right - it's not waiting for very long before snapping. Guess I just assumed it was like that from previous years - I usually play with the accel clock on so I didn't notice.

Edit: I know what it is now - I was seeing those auto-man in motion plays when I checked it. Obviously, those are gonna take a few seconds to play out before the ball is snapped. But I know that's not what you're looking for - sorry.

LoL I never even liked the kick meter Madden used this year. I saw nothing wrong with the old move the RS style! I mean they didn't change it for NCAA, but why for Madden?

Couple questions has the latest patch improved user pass rush? &
are uniforms degrading as promised?

I've only played one game, but afaik locomotion + bad pathing is still killing the pass defense.
