I wouldn't expect a player to lose AWR due to age...it should actually increase with the experience gained thru the years of playing. The losing of physical attributes yes, by all means...but not awareness., especially Peyton Manning.

Yeah man.

I was playing at Tennessee and it degraded preety well.

It was kinda like the degradation you see on a fall or winter day when the grass is really rough.

That is exactly the way I understand it as well. The season has to be started fresh for the progression to work. The Franchise does not have to be restarted but there are situations where it does not take until the start of the 2nd season post patch.

Wow i just made that more confusing than it really is.

Has Madden always been giving a tackle to both guys on combined tackles or is this new?

Not sure about previous Maddens but pre-patch #2 it does indeed give tackles to all who were involved with bringing that player down. Same with sacks. I took down a QB a couple weeks ago with Schobel and Stroud. Both received a sack. Which is better than nothing. In years past it would be only one player. I realize 1/2 sacks and tackles should be given.....but this is better than nothing.

Field deg. seems to be better, dolphins jersey's were pretty dirty, penatly sliders can be turned down around the 70's and seem to be fairly realistic. CPU actually turns up field, robo QB not sure I played 5 minute quarters only incompletes from pennington were interceptions, false start the quaterback will run up the middle of the field which is kinda dumb, turned running def all the way up to 20 and computer could still not run on me, i like the extra couple seconds to adjust my defence but its maybe a little too long during punts and field goals, and does anyone notice that when you hit triangle and right on a defence of adjustment nobody really moves over the guy they are suppose to cover. Linebackers never go over the man they are covering and DB's wont slider over really either? patch #2 made the game a lot better just need the AI sliders now.

	T.O. had in Season 1 206 catches, 4310 yards, 47 TD's 20.9 avg., 269.3 yd per game, 1848 YAC, 8.9 YAC AVG, 10 drops and his longest was 92yds

Those were simmed stats? With all the complaints about receivers not getting enough yards etc... this are double what a great season would be .

no I'VE PLAYED all the games so far. all the way until the NFC title game.

those stats were threw week 17. i personally played all 16 games. and now one playoff game. i simmed from the NFC title game on.

W/ the patch my game has frozen three times. Twice while doing create a team and another when starting a new franchise.

# 171 BTLSBubbaArmy @ 09/23/08 01:23 PM

Alright...I went ahead and Simmed clear up through 8 seasons. No Freezing. Looks good for right now, we'll see what happens once I start playing through it, and being more thorough in what I do.

My best advice is...delete your old franchise if you already had one, and start over completely. Delete all Madden Data if necessary. If anything changes, I will post here.

# 172 Derty PuDge @ 09/23/08 01:26 PM

damn delete everything profiles, rosters ect? or just franchise files?

# 173 TheShizNo1 @ 09/23/08 01:28 PM

I'm one more freeze away from trading this in for head coach...lol

I'd start with just the franchise file itself. Do that, Sim through 3-5 seasons and see if it freezes. If not, then start an actual franchise to play...and see what happens from there.

If you freeze while simming, delete EVERYTHING Madden related, and try.

If that doesn't work, then it's on EA's head.

These updates apply to existing franchises correct?

No, apparently you have to start all over again. It was supposed to work with existing franchises...but doesn't now.

# 178 Heelfan71 @ 09/23/08 01:44 PM

Can you continue your franchise with the patch? Is the cpu players running out of bounds after a catch fixed too??

# 179 RoyalBoyle78 @ 09/23/08 01:44 PM

I just played like one quarter, and I see a big change. I like it, I can finally start a franchise. Also did anyone notice the light bulb flashing seems to be tuned down a bit too, or is that just me?

# 180 BTLSBubbaArmy @ 09/23/08 01:45 PM

Ok, I went back and started an actual franchise, that I will now start controlling more of, instead of just simming. I largely sim through Franchise anyway, so that is what I will be doing...and here's the deal:
Controlling all 32 Teams
Importing NCAA Draft Classes

I simmed through the pre-season of Year 1, and am now at the Regular Season. I trained my first active team, which was the Bears...just to see if doing that would generate a freeze. So far, Freeze Free...and I played the Mini Games and all with no problem.
That's all so far, as I progress more...I will report back. If I get a freeze, I will report back sooner.
