I started a franchise last night - first time with Patch #1.

Played the first half of game 1 ok, then the game decided to freeze after a cut-scene of my team walking into the lockeroom.

I had to boot back to the Xbox Dashboard and restart the game. Lost the Franchise.

I didn't even bother going back to try it again.

I give up. I'm trading this game in for CoD: Modern Warfare 2.

I have ESPN 2K5 with updated rosters and that'll continue to be my NFL game of choice because EA can't do anything right it seems.

Adios Madden. I gave you ANOTHER chance and you failed again.

i think i may be too deep into nba live to care about patch #2. here's to hoping that the Madden team makes as far a leap forward next year that Live did this year. i like this years madden, but i'm just tired of watching my lineman play matador to LB and defensive ends every other play.

This is one of three things I want (hope?) to see addressed in the announcement of this week's list of patch issues addressed. My three are:

1. I have had four freezes where i try to press the X button to skip the halftime show. Tried four times, froze four times. Luckily, just lost the game but it is still the equivilant of 2 games of wasted time in franchise mode. Now I just sit through the half time show which is pretty boring and repetitive. EA, wish you would have filmed those broadcasters a little more. The guy says the same thing EVERY halftime show and both say the same thing EVERY Extra Point show.

2. When I throw the ball to a WR who is a good 6-7 steps from a defender, the pass goes right to the defender for an INT. Feet set, high accuracy QB? Doesn't matter. These cheap INTs that seem scripted really detract from the game.

3. CPU QBs throwing the ball away right before the sack. This happens multiple times in a game. For example, with the CB Blitz and really fast corners I have only gotten 3 sacks in 8 games but have tackled the QB just as he throws 5-10 times per game. And it always comes from the blind side so it is not like the QB can even see my guy. And to make it worse, when the few times I do hit him and cause the lame duck throw, it usually ends up still going to a WR 10 yards down the field for a 1st down. VERY FRUSTRATING!

Now I just hope the patch lives up to all our expectations. My three issues are really forcing me to stick with the game until the patch just in case but they really make it hard to enjoy the game.

Wow, that sucks. I have had several franchises running pre and post patch.

Never seen a game freeze, ever, in game or out of game.

Not until it's been approved by MS/Sony, and it's not at that stage, yet.

Did you know that if you make everyone's agility a 50 in madden 10 it plays so much smoother?

Tis' true...

# 250 ktipton87 @ 10/14/09 01:32 PM

So when do the details come out?

well.. today is thursday... has there been any patch news yet??? or by next week did he mean saturday at 11:59pm......

# 253 Chiefsfan881129 @ 10/14/09 02:01 PM

I think the mods need to lock this thread before these fights and name calling gets out or control as there is no need for people to act like this i would say to lock this baby up before it gets out of hand then open this thread back up or make a new thread once the details for patch#2 are released thanks

Players can choose from names in a audible library to assure names of players are commentated properly at all times.

If they get the challenge system ironed out in general then there's no need to pick aspect of the play you want to challenge. A challenge is "get the play right refs" if you challenge a fumble and there's no conclusive evidence of one...but the ball spot is wrong...the refs aren't going to ignore the ball spot and just say

oh well.

So yea the challenge system needs to be fixed but I don't need to select one aspect of the play to challenge because that's not exactly how it works. Either the play is reviewable or not, it's not "The Jets choose to challenge the fumble but not the recovery or the spot of the ball."

I get that in 2k8 two of those options were meaningless to me, but with Madden I would have never challenged had I known what aspect of the play was being viewed. The spot of the ball made no difference to me, it was the fumble I had an issue with.

And in real life if the defense recovered the ball but threw a challenge flag to challenge the recovery or the spot and the refs determined that the receiver never had possession then guess what? It's overturned, even though that's not what the defense wanted to challenge.

Madden's challenge system is broken. Period. It has nothing to do with selecting particular things to challenge. Because when a play is challenged everything is reviewed and the refs just get the play right. Madden doesn't do that.

It's Wednesday. Where are the patch details?

# 258 drae2 @ 10/14/09 02:14 PM

Can we not start this into a 2K vs. Madden thread war number 5,233? I think people are just frustrated by the fact that there were things that were said that would be added and or taken out of Madden 10 that have people upset. One of my biggest gripes that I hope is addressed in patch 2 are suction blocking and db's still making up too much ground on deep passes, and run blocking.

Challenge system needs an overhaul. I need more control over what's challenged.
