I was very upset that it happened but very glad at the same time.

What are ya'll penalty sliders set to?

I'm happy with the patch. They finally fixed the replay issues. That's all I really needed, and they got rid of Bengals and Bears stats. I'm gonna start playing more now.

100 for the penalties that aren't called enough.

The three major penalities that are called are holding, clipping and facemask. Everything else is between 75-100.

This patch improves head to head play immensley.

Defense is legit fun, and isnt a game of "chase the damn back out of the backfield", every down.

So what are holding, clipping, and facemask set to?

I'm using Bill Harris penalty sliders in the sliders forum. I need to give credit where credit is due.

Holding- 52
Clipping - 75
Facemask- 75

Why is it so easy on kickoff returns? I can get a touchdown every time if I try.

I didn't think that was patch related. I haven't played in about a month and yesterday I ran back three kickoffs with Jamal Charles in two games.

Where is the draft info for the players? I can't find them...

# 190 michigan21 @ 12/13/09 12:45 AM

I thought there was suppose replays after TD, big plays etc? My replays are still getting cut off. No replays after TD or int. Very disappointed.

# 191 Guffers @ 12/13/09 03:34 AM

I've played about 8 games post patch and have seen 4 replays after TD's. I would much rather they played after every score, be it a 3 yard run or a 70 yard bomb. Maybe next year.

It is a solid game now though, I can see Madden 11 and 12 being incredible.

# 192 captaink @ 12/13/09 10:31 AM

I don't know if it's me but I'm getting more chain gang cut scenes and it seems to be at times where they shouldn't be, like on plays where I'm clearly 2-3 yards past the 1st down line and they bring the chain gang out and measure and according to the chain gang I just made it by an inch. When I saw this the 1st time I'm like OK bad ball spot but it happened 2 more times in the same game.

# 193 GoBlue! @ 12/13/09 12:14 PM

Game speed matchs the setting better IMO, but the RB's are supermen now. Stewart and Williams (CAR) combine for 400 yds with 5 TDs for me against GB. Prior to the patch I never had that kind of insane numbers. Looks like I need to work on some slidders.

# 194 Skyboxer @ 12/13/09 03:17 PM

I can't get a game in now. 5 lockups when I tried playing today. Screen just locks up and have to reset the 360. NEVER had this problem before and I've played a few games post patch. Have no idea why it's locking up today.

Uninstalled-Installed...seems ok now..no lockups

Thanks to this play I would up winning the game. You be the judge. Is THIS a touchdown? Madden 10 post-patch 2 says NO. EA Sports: Madden NFL 10 Video Highlight

his knee was down but the ball clearly crosses the endzone line. why can't EA just admit they're clueless about football and move on?

# 196 DrUrsus @ 12/13/09 06:22 PM

I had a game last night where I was down 30-29 after scoring a TD and I could have kicked an extra point to tie the game with 2:10 left in the game. Instead since it isn't real life, and its Madden, I was confident in a play I could use to score a 2 point conversion.
I clearly got the 2 point conversion, but they stated my WR was out of bounds (not even close during the play and watching replay). I was not even able to challenge this, so I ended up losing. It really ticked me off since it was a real game in my Franchise, so I couldn't save it and will now have to replay the game.
I guess maybe that is what I get for not playing realistically.
Anyone see this before the patch? (It probably was there, but I never saw it before).

# 197 Skyboxer @ 12/13/09 07:29 PM

I had a play today where the RB was tackled 3 FULL YARDS past the first down marker.....The freaking chain gang comes in to measure lol! Well they measure and say I was short.... I was pretty ticked BUT after that cut scene it said first and 10...
So I calmed down.
Obviously a problem in the chain gang programming. I also have not seen a decline in the chain gang uses and in fact believe I've seen more since the patch.

It's a blown call by the ref. What? You never seen one of those before?

Yeah, they also do this with obvious Touchdowns too. I like the feature, but it needs a lot of fine tuning.

it's not a blown call it's a glitch. I guarantee that same play gets called the same way everytime because EA just can't figure out how to program the rules of football correctly. the computer calls the ball where the knee touches down everytime and a true blown call every now and then wouldn't be problem, but the fact is rule glitches like that happen all the time on both their football games.
