Power moves are still overpowered while finesse moves are still underpowered. I played a half to test last night and all three sacks I saw came from DTs. Hopefully they can address this with a tuner, because it's my biggest complaint with the game right now.

I saw a sack from an OLB, but it was on a heavy blitz. I do agree that power moves still > finesse

I gotta say it looks like the BackBreaker shoulder pads.

Can anyone test the qb completion percentage to see if they snuck that one in there.

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.

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

The popping is still there, how did you get it to go away? I heard it twice in the second half of a game, but not at all during the first half.

i've been playing this game since august and never heard this popping you guys speak of... i got lucky i guess.

Please confirm that you user sacked a QB and it counted as a half sack?

Thanks
I'm not sure what you are asking me.

I got the half sack while playing, not simming, a game but I was not controlling either player.

Nothing new to report, but I played the Chiefs at home with my Bills and there was no rain. Before the patch, it always rained. My next item to look for in this patch is better looking fields at Ralph Wilson Stadium. The parts of the field that are shaded had the black splotches...hopefully, that is cleaned up in this patch.
 
# 114 Sundown2600 @ 10/18/11 01:40 PM
The dome fields and the field at Gillette field look great now. I need to play a bit more to see if I notice anymore changes. Considering the fact that I am not a franchise guy the field fix was my top priority, so I'm good.

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.

This is unfixable.

This is from the source master of the audio. When this w3as mastered...it must have been mastered too hot and had some area's of audio waves that will clip at certain spots.

What is amazing is they had this same issue in Madden 11 and ignored it.

No excuse IMO for this to happen with a multi billion dollar company like EA.

Poor quality control in the audio department.

Simple as that.

not just the audio dept. this company is concerned with selling quantity than they are at selling quality. it is unacceptable to release a "premier" game year after year with this many flaws. you know they saw these things prior to releasing it. if this company allows us to see these issues as clear as day, then just think about what they don't want us to see.

Feels pretty much the same to me, with the big difference being that the field looks great now! The audio pop happened within 3 minutes of playing my first post-patch game The PA and commentary had very little if any changes. Still a delayed sound when the ball is kicked off, still announcing 'the starting quaterback' still not syncing up commentary with the action. Like when I score a touchdown and I hear 'and the attempted pick comes empty etc.' Hopefully it won't crash, but sounds like some people are already having that happen again.

You know what? At the end of the day, this is just a video game...............
