Loving the patch overall. Don't understand the "Still can't run the ball inside" complaints as I've had no issues running inside.
As far as the over the shoulder catch: I haven't seen the over the shoulder thing in 3 games since patch but that doesn't mean it's not there I guess.
very satisified with the patch.

I threw to the sidelines all game last night and A LOT were in bounds and considered catches

As far as sacks go I had 3 coverage sacks alone in an offline franchise game.
No issues there.

I am NOT a madden fan, everyone who knows me knows I am a HUGE 2k fan. But I will be the very first one to say.
MADDEN HAS ARRIVED. Patch #2 is the bomb. It actually makes X & O play calling work correctly.
While I am not going to go into a long drawn out post on why Madden is finally up to par with patch 2. I will just go on record to say I bet you are just trolling or you mad your cheese no longer works.
Bottom line is Patch 2 made the GAMEPLAY amazing. Stats still jacked up but the most important thing is gameplay and it has arrived.

However, if you want to play a football franchise with more accurate stats, there are a few games out there that specialize in that. I'd rather have the onfield fixes for Madden be a priority, and I'll live with screwy franchise stats for now.
I've only played one game, default All-Pro, Bears (me) against the Vikings. This is year 2 of my franchise and the Vikings have Jason Campbell as their QB. I was able to get four sacks from four different players, including one from my LOLB. I've always had trouble getting pressure with blitzing LBs and that was more effective. Campbell also took off about four times when the pressure got great. This has clearly been changed.
The CPU seemed to defend the flats a lot better, too. Screens in particular were not nearly as effective for me as they had been. Overall, the offense seemed toned down. I had a harder time moving the ball, and despite getting nearly 250 yards rushing from Peterson (thanks to two big TD runs), Campbell was fairly ineffective and inaccurate.
The hitching rushing motion was also greatly reduced and is not very noticeable except in replays. Overall rushing seemed more fluid and smooth.

This, IMO, is a clear case of let's just call it "different styles of play"
and leave it at that.
Yeah and maybe some are playing on all pro and some are playing on All-madden.
It seems from what ive read people playing on all-pro have no trouble getting sacks...I play on all-madden and it's nearly impossible and the qb is a freak, I wish I could explain it, play action farve goes back to handoff, my guy blows threw the line, looks like a sure sack only to have brett break off like a madman "even though his back was turned to the d player coming and throw off his back foot to a guy in double coverage"
it's sad........patch made things somewhat better, but this is far from "madden is here" or things like that imo.

Sorry,but I don't see much of a change with this 2nd patch.
I started yet another "test" franchise last night with the Steelers,switching to advanced,and still saw a crazy amount of cpu blitzes,and the flats were as open as before....and this is with the cpu awareness slider @ 80.
I had 14 total sacks on defense,and this was user as well as cpu controlled...so slider adjustment will be needed.
Using the LE..or the corner on the slot receiver on the right side of the screen,is still 98% effective at getting sacks. Trying to rush with Harrison,is still a joke,as the suction blocking is still evident,pursuit angles are still a mess...and the "stuttering" on break away runs is still present.
All in all,I'm pretty disappointed in this patch,as I don't see anything THAT drastic to warrant the patch being released so late in the season.

And the guy at the start of this thread said A.P. ran for like 2500 yards in a season.
Look, I am one that does not bang the drum of EA too much, but this is totaly out of this world stupid. EA - In the words of Jim Mora, you should be totaly embarassed and totaly ashamed, you could not do didly-poo.
I actually liked this game 48 hours ago, and could have played it, even with it's flaws. But, it's like the patch totaly destrotyed the only mode I play, offline franchise. What is the point of playing the damn game if it has arcade stats? I don't see any reason to play it with such WAY out there stats.
I just don't understand, in my wildest dreams how EA could see this and think it's kosher, it just boggles my mind.
Hey, did you notice that RB's are avg. 10YPC and 2500 yards a season?
Yeah, but I don't know what I did or how to fix it.
Oh well, I'm just going to send out the patch.
Cool, let's go home.
I know that on the Ps3 there is a way to delete it. Is there any way to get this garbage off my 360? And go back to just patch 1?

Thanks, I would love to keep the patch. I love the gameplay improvements. Just don't see the point in "playing the game" If the franchise is busted, and yes, those wack stats do qualify as a busted franchise mode IMHO.
I am just getting off work, when I get home I will tinker around with it some more, run a few years in sim and see what I can do.

Trust me, I'm as big of a Franchise guy as you guys are and I'm tired of sports games always focusing on online and other features (that's for another thread though) but I guess I've just gotten so used to things being broken that I'm used to it now.
