Madden NFL 11 Title Update #5 Available Now, Post Impressions Here (PS3, 360)

[bxgoods]

Ok I played two games last night.

Two things I've noticed,
DB defense is definitely better, I'm seeing a lot more swats.
DT's now have more impact, and passs rushing in general. My D-Line and the Blitz was definitely getting t o the QB more effectively. I was playing on All Pro on default sliders.


2nd thing I noticed, which I like a lot. The Juke move is effective again. After the last patch, they nerfed down the Juke move and elusiveness because people complained there were too many broke tackles. During the last patch, it was nearly impossible to juke the cpu, now its effective again and running is a lot more fun. Last patch I could only use Trucking backs, now I can use either a Trucking back or Elusive one.

Idk, never had a problem with jukes. I play ALL MADDEN w/ 0 HUM break tackle.

Heisman? We talking about Madden right?

And Juking was definitely nerfed the last patch. The juke effectiveness radius was very small, now I can juke the LB in the hole when I'm 4 yards away from him.
That was very hard to do in the last patch.

I know this isn't an impression and I hope I don't get in trouble for asking, but does anyone know where offline players can download the patch on a flash drive?

The draw is probably one of the biggest exploits in the game. It doesn't work every play but when it does its a least 5 yard per play depending on your defense.

jus like in the nfl with 4 wr an 1 rb a draw is a great play not an exploit the d is reacting to the 4 wr on 3rd an long not the 1 rb an jus like the nfl u get a least 5 yds

Is this user vs cpu? I didn't see any of this in user vs user game.

I played a second match user vs user match. I was using the Rams vs the Redskins. I was up 28-7 at halftime, but the Rams defense is badddd an it showed. My CBs could not cover very well an it showed. I can't really say too much about the zone coverages since I don't play it much. When I played zone it seemed to work decently enough. They ended up coming back an i needed a late FG to win 38-35. It's hard for me too say how the patch went in this game because the Rams defense is so bad but check this stat. I feel I played good D, the Redskins QB was 9-22 so that's great, but he had 222yrds due to my CBs not being able to contain Santana Moss and I didn't keep a safety over top so the two times Moss broke a tackle he was gone. I did shut down his run game but he broke one for 70yrds because I over ran a toss play.

The custom audibles don't register too well... you have to button mash, and even then you almost get flagged for a delay of game.

i knew i wasnt crazy!...but think this was done on purpose because it works fine when you call audibles slowly....so i think this was done for online play to stop them from calling multiple audibles at one time
