This is because the top WR and/or RB changed in the depth chart. Same happened with the Steelers.

The rosters when the game shipped had Ward as the no. 1 WR in the depth chart. And both his name and Ben's were called during the intro. After the roster update, Wallace was promoted to no. 1 WR. The PA announcer started saying the generic intros. I manually changed the depth chart to make Ward no. 1 again and the announcer says their names and colleges.

Can anyone confirm if these names get called instead of numbers by Gus/Chris:

RB LaGarret Blount - Buccaneers
QB Tim Tebow - Broncos
WR Calvin Johnson Jr. - Lions
WR Wes Welker - Patriots
RB Green-Ellis - Patriots
RB Woodhead - Patriots
QB Mallet - Patriots.

PS3 graphics on the field look fixed which is good. I was so excited not to hear that loud popping noise through the first half of the game I was playing. I was thinking, great they fixed this annoying speaker damaging pop......start of the 3rd quarter, POP......... LOL! You would think they would have fixed this in this patch.

Can anyone confirm that the Vikings' field got improved, or if it was even bad before? I never got a chance to play there pre-patch.

If the speaker "pop" is still there than this pathetic excuse for a football title is still a no buy and no rent for me. It's been two months and they just fixed the fields for PS3? What a joke. Should never have been like that in the first place. You people that continue to purchase this game and do somersaults on "patch day" are exactly the reason why EA gets away with what they do.

Why would anybody risk having their TV speakers or sound system damaged for a broken $60 video game???? Madden is EA's flagship game. And this is how they present and deliver it?

Like moths to the flame and you guys fall for it EVERY year. If you want EA to get it right, than DONT BUY THE GAME on release day. Rent it. It will be amazing to watch how quickly EA gets their **** together.

I was a bit lazy in jotting down the probs with this game and getting them onto EA's website so EA could have worked on some of the issues that are not in this game such as the accelerated game clock NOT being turned off when you DO have it turned off in your options, among other clock issues like when injuries happen and the game clock keeps running so when your rocked to sleep subconsciously thinking you have a full game clock and next thing you know, you're whistled for delay of game. These issues may have started either last year or in 10 but whatever the case, they need to be fixed.

Also, they need to work on the play call screen blocking auto replays, too. Been there for the past year or 2. Sup with that??

At any rate, I guess the field textures look a little richer and sharper but I dunno. Could be a placebo effect cuz I didn't really notice them being bad unless that "whitish, patch effect" at the "Metlife" Stadium during my Jets home games were really an issue. I don't really see that now.

All in all, I think the game is pretty decent. I still wanna make my list of fixes and get it over to them but I can't help but feel bored with the Madden series. I am definitely ready for a new and vastly improved Madden on next gen systems.

Just a few little graphical details, nothing major. Audio just got rid of the popping, nothing else.

How about kickers and punters getting drafted in the first round in franchise, did anyone get a chance to see if that issue was fixed? Thanks
