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

[ANDROMADA 1]

I'll be giving it a try later today. As for Ncaa, I sold mine after I played it post patch#3 and after all the tunings. I was not impressed at all. The Pass defense in Ncaa is terrible.(defenders can intercept the ball without even looking at it and the defenders still run the routes better than the receivers) No thanks. I just like to play online and in leagues so I'm not into all that slider stuff.

i cant get the cpu to use the gameplans i set for them after the new patch. i go to the opponent first select their gameplan back out then move to my team select my gameplan and press a to continue but my gameplan loads but the cpu automatically go back to their default gameplan, what do i do?

Sorry I have not had that issue at all. Don't know what to tell you.

And dont get me wrong , im not madden fan boy , neither ***** of ncaa or w/e , i dont even care about ncaa tbh,but i have not seen a thing in madden like that though its still has some issues on defense. And about balls going through hands... yeah i saw it 2times, both plays were against me and ball went through my defenders hands. But its what, 2times in 100 + games ? I mean really ? Does it bother you so much ?

Yes, it bothers me and it happens way more than you said. Maybe it depends on how well you are doing, but I've seen what I said and it happens many times every game!

I love this game post-patch. Played my first game with new patch last night, and had a nice battle with the Giants. Stats turned out realistic, my zone defense worked perfectly, I got 3 sacks on Eli, and I was able to get some offense going. I racked up 79 yards rushing with Marion barber on 24 carries...all games before this, I was averaging almost 200 yds per game. So much more realistic now. I love the atmosphere on this game, and I feel like the gameplay caught up to it after this patch. NOW, if Ian will just step up and fix the dirty uniforms/scratched up helmets, and the pre-game analysis errors, I will be one happy camper. Kudos, EA.

Madden has made some great improvements, but I hate the fact that even after the patch, all-pro is too easy and all-madden does not give you realistic gameplay. I also hate that if you don't implement sliders, the game at times is impossible to enjoy. I'm really debating on selling my copy of madden. Online seems to be the only realistic gameplay that you get....but even online has its faults.

I think this is one of the most ******** points for saying Madden sucks this year. are you freaking serious? I think people with this line of the thinking has never tried sliders and found out just how much this actually makes the game play badass. Every game I play in, it plays very realistic with slider adjustments. I've been playing my football games with sliders since the day they were introduced. hell, nfl2k5 had sliders, and I could NOT play the game without slider adjustments. There are sliders implemented for a reason. The all pro and madden and rookie and all that jazz is for people that either really suck/so good the cpu has to cheat to win, or for people who play online or play vs. a friend. Sliders ftw!

Sliders are not always the answer; for example, FG power set at 14, the CPU can make a 57 yard field goal with a guy who has Kicking Power less than 94--even Collinsworth said that was surprising and must have surprised the kicker as well.

I haven't seen this yet, the biggest CPU field goal I have had made on me is a 53 yarder. They usually kick a tad too soft and drops just before cross bar, or they miss it wide left/right. I put everything I had into a kick last night into the wind, and squeaked inside the up-right and it was 52 yards.
