The details of the first patch for Madden 10 are now out thanks to a FAQ video posted by Ian Cummings on the Inside EA Blog. The patch is currently in certification and could be out as early as next week. The second patch which will be more concentrated on gameplay feedback is currently in the works.

This first patch is even more significant in that it has addressed some areas that normally wouldn’t have been in a release day patch as well as adding new content with the inclusion of the broadcast camera angle. I’m definitely most excited to finally play without the concern of holding on field goals which has cost me points, victories, and unneeded stress!

Continue on to read the list of fixes and additions includes in the first patch for Madden 10 and leave your thoughts in the comments!

Added Super Bowl and Playoff field conditions in Online Franchise

Fixed false start griefing issue with online games

Fixed video player issues (sometimes video would hang) in Online area

Improved quality of uploaded video highlights

Switched ranked online games to seven minute quarters

Random stability fixes

Added broadcast camera

Tuned slider effectiveness

Made fatigue affect ratings more

Tuned broken tackle chances

Reduced/removed holding on kick attempts

Improved-toe drag catch logic

General pursuit improvements

Man coverage improvements

Fixed double pass online exploit

Im fairly certain that you won't have to restart franchises to see the changes.

Are they gonna tone down the over the shoulder catch? It happens way too much.

Will instant replay lengths be addressed? They are way too short and usually cut off the best part of the play. And the over the shoulder catches happen way too frequently. Otherwise, I'm glad with the issued they have addressed so far and I'm happy with the game

Jim

Never mind, I watched Ian's video

What I hate is how it takes longer to snap the ball (compared to previous years). Maybe it's the speed of the game, but still. Next patch, PLEASE refine the forward progress and make the chain gang animation skippable like they did the challenges.

Dude, they need to make it possible to run the ball…im a pretty good madden player and i had 18 carries for 25 yards with adrian peterson..but on previous madden games I used to be able to run the ball realistically

Cdawg

I don't knwo what difficulty u play on but i play on all pro and i get atleast 170 yards a game and 2 tds because i never have enough time to throw the damn ball because of the ridiculous pass coverage and pass rush. Makes no sense that cpu can get to me that fast but i cant get to them and they throw perfect passes even when they get hit but brett favre throws little wobblers.

Anyone else notice that the CPU will always full out blitz on 3rd down leaving themselves wide open for the quick pass. It's pretty annoying because it takes the fun out of playing the cpu / franchise. I wish they would address this but it seems to me that they don't even know or care about that. I know that the cpu is always going to have their exploits but that's pretty ridiculous.

GeorgeCostanza

they dont care about CPU gaming anymore. they figure everyone is online so why bother. gotta love exclusive monopolies.

What about stopping the clock when the player touches the line? what about the adjustment of D-line that always go through the linemen on the running plays? what about all those awkward over the shoulder catches??

This Madden has been the best Madden since Madden 07 for the PS2. I’ve been pretty pleased thus far and I am even more pleased to see they are really addressing issues that need to be addressed with the first patch.

I want them to fix injury's in the way of not many at all in franchise mode. I play with 100 injury, and 100 fatigue but, I still don't get any REAL Injury's just some little 1 Q injurys. This is when I PLAY the game not sim btw. They need to do something about this already I was so pumped when I 1st read about the Injury slider but. Not working for me really sucks.

Just tell them to remove the damn accelerated clock and go back to the normal 5 minute quarters.

Im very glad to hear about the improved toe drag catch logic, it is once again non-existent as it has been in the past. Ive seen one toe drag, it was a pass to the flats and my RB was like 5 yards from the sideline…..didnt make any sense. Theres virtually no awareness of the edges of the endzone when a receiver is attempting to make a catch. Player awareness has much to do about this, but even with L-Fitz it didnt matter.

Hello? What about the fix to the 49ers helmet color??? That was talked about like weeks ago and then never mentioned again… Is it in this patch or what???

http://intensedebate.com/people/pastapadre pastapadre

That *may* be included in the AFL DLC. I've heard some comments that suggest there may be other uniform fixes included in that which they just aren't going to advertise. If it isn't there then I'll try and find out whats going on with it.

When are they going to patch balls going through players hands? I mean, it's a good feature, if that is what Ian says it is.
