Madden Patch #1 Details

sweet!!! now we get 7 minute quarters and no more of that holding on 50 yard kicks and now jacobs wont break out of 10 tackles a run. (at least thats what i take out of improvements on broken tackles)

hell yeah this is a couple of crucial things... there are some more things they can fix, but hopefully they're already working on that (i.e. - flat zones defense)

ya it would be great if they fixed the flat zones. i think that the packers will also be a lot better than they already were because of the man coverage improvements again (BTW this is my 500th post lol!!!!!!!!!!!)

well qbs can still run back 10 yards and throw the ball 30 yds down field off balance accurately...when is that gonna get fixed

well good thing they fixed like playing styles n s***...

I am cool with the 7 minute quarters. Sometimes the accelerated clock gives you no time to do anything at the LOS...

this i bs, 7min QUARTERS!! i liked how you could finish gm's faster this year

hold on kicks is gay.. cost me a game

That's crazy 7 minutes is kind of long seriously. N yes the flats need to be improved. Hopefully I cn play coiop when this patch comes out. So close to platinum if I get co-op working.

7 min qtrs is going to be nice. It will be nice to actually get to play some real football instead of this 1 drive per qtr BS... Their fixing the flats and other gameplay problems with the 2nd patch.

7minut's quarter's good that mean's 60point's a game ... good realy good...let's have fun..

Im glad they went to 7 min quarters. 5 mins with acclerated clock was quick!

yeah, 7 min quarters is definitely a great addition, as is the holding on field goals being toned way down. i think ea is really going to improve madden through patches, instead of them really doing nothing.

7min quarters is not really fixing anything in terms of time at the LOS to change things up.

atleast its realistic
how many teams sit at the los for 40 seconds doing audibles?

What is the double pass thing about?

They should of kept it 5mins with no acclerated clock and jus acclerate the play clock that was the problem on 09 peeps would use up the whole 40 secs b4 snaping the ball that's why they added the acclerated clock dis year

one question (may B dum) but, if you already purchased madden would the patches come up online, or is these patches on the new realesed madden?

Its a update no need to but another madden lol

iight i thought so but i like the new changes.

they DONT WANT people having time at the LOS. lead developer ian cummings said "i was soooooo sick of guys coming to the line and making 100 adjustments". thats why there is accelerated clock.

but it also took away from gameplay time, so their upping the quarters.

Am I the only one who thinks there is a bug/glitch'ish kinda thing with recivers dropping wide open passes? Iv'e made a few changes in my play calls and it has gotten better, but its still there and rather rediculous, and it isnt a fuzz over some drop ruining my game. I know WR's drop in real life too but some of these drops are just lol'ish, Fitz dropping wide open and what not.

No one experianced this too?

P.s this happens mostly when in man coverage and the defender is trailing the WR/te with 2-3 yards. Also the way they drop/fail to make the catch seems rather odd, thats why im very suspicious that this might be a bug regarding press coverag.

When I start my online franchise, and that is before the patch is released, will the patch work? Or will I play the entire franchise the way it is now?

WOW 7 min quarters. 5 min were perfect, i liked the shorten games, it allowed you to play more and if you had to go soon you could still fit a game in. I guess everything else is alright, the tackle breaking is a +.
