WR Direct Snap Glitch Being Dealt With

by
Posted August 21st, 2008 at 2:33 pm

In general the last thing I’d want to do is bring attention to a glitch that could ruin the enjoyment of the game for people. Currently Madden 09 online play has been riddled with people using the WR direct snap glitch. Inexplicably SportsGamer had detailed exactly how this glitch is done. While it had already spread though some circles now that a media site has decided to publicize it this will only been seen more.

Here is a warning though to anyone tempted by that. Those who use the glitch online risk getting their record and stats completely wiped clean. EA is able to monitor each play that is run in a game and can even tell if it was snapped to a wide receiver. As this glitch is isolated to a single play in a single playbook it becomes even easier to spot. They’ve already deleted the record and stats of some users who were confirmed to have utilized the glitch. More will face that realization in the near future and deservedly so.

I was able to confirm a while back that the next patch will include a fix for this glitch. So it is only a matter of time before it is gone. I felt though at this time that it was important to put the word out on the upcoming fix as well as the reasons you don’t want to exploit it online even if you know how to do it.

    Everyone complains about the glitches but I remember in the early days of Madden, or any video game for that matter, glitches existed and there were no fixes….I few I remember from Madden back on the Genesis:

    1) Blocking kickoffs…Yes, you could block the kickoff…Talk about a glitch that would irritate the crap out of me….It was blatant cheating

    2) If you were behind in the last minute, you could jump offsides on defense to stop the clock. Yes, you lost five yards but if the team knelt down or you got a sack it was like having free timeouts

    3) Unstoppable downlineman. You could press one of the buttons and hold it down to immediately jump the snap. Sacks 100% of the time. There was no “once in awhile”…It was every damn down

    If you played someone who deployed these tactics there was no chance of winning.

    I know that Madden isn’t perfect and that the testers aren’t going to catch everything but we should give EA and other publishers credit for reading forums and informing themselves of things that snuck through so a fix can be distributed.

    People nowadays are spoiled. Appreciate these games for what they are and enjoy them instead of bitching about every little thing that isn’t perfect.

    agree 100% give them credit for catching it and making patch to fix it.Back in the day there was no patch made and we was force to play with these glitches.They do have testers and they not going to get everything.Every game has a glitch in there is no perfect game.It’s all about fixing those when they are found and EA is doing that.This is the first year ea has been this active and people still cimplain if it don’t meet ur expections sell ur game on Ebay and play something else.

    [quote comment="33083"]its not an embarassment, relax. what is, is a glitch, they’re fixing it. I reported the user The N3wprototype, he direct snap to all his wrs, and still only won 23-21. I told him he’s got no game, and he said he knows he sucks, thats why he uses it. More losers online. who cant play. at least 80% of the madden onliners have no skills, they play online just to quit, they jump online with like two plays and sit in zone all game out of FEAR, not knowledge. They pick one of the top 5 teams and wait for you to quit. I’ve faced the SD, DAL, NE, PIT, IND, and none of those guys knew more than two plays, and all of them quit. I use the jets, they see the 76 overall, yet they still stop on big teams. NO fairness online. and all of you are MEN and BOYs, so why all of you act like girls?[/quote]

    I’m with you man, I use the Niners in 08 and now, i finished in the top 2000 last year and this year i’m 14 and 6 with a avg opp level of 5, its just gets so tiring playing the same teams over and over (NE, DAL, SD) and watching the opponent roll out to his right with Brady in trips left and have Moss run his stupid post down the middle and wait till he gets past the safety, well don’t try that with me because just ask my opponents i will user pick it all time. Peeps need to learn the game and learn how to utilize a playbook so that we have better quality games online, cmon people. I haven’t had anybody use the WR glitch on me yet, but i expect my luck will run out soon, but hopefully EA will fix it by then. Hit me up if you want a real game against a real team my Niners GT: s2k05 eRv

    EA shouldn’t bring their attention to this, they should actually bring their attention towards “win-boosters”.

    Those who doesn’t have a problem with the glitch are either:

    A) The cheesers who does this online with winning records

    or

    B) Haven’t encountered those cheesers to know how bad this glitch is.

    I still feel that madden 09 is not a good game. I think 08 was better and the gameplay was much smoother. Anyone agree?????

All he does all game is run one pass play to Gates across the middle that you can’t stop unless I manually cover him, then he throws to another guy. Finally its 17 17 2mins left for him, he’s driving down the field, I just tied it up, and he starts using htat shit and I loose.
