With the second patch for Madden 10 just about being wrapped up and nearing submission for certification EA Sports has posted a blog noting some of the things that have been worked on. As previously mentioned this patch is very community input-centric having taken many suggestions into consideration to enhance the gameplay experience. Below are some of the things confirmed for the patch however this does not represent the full list. You can check out the full blog posting here and more details should be coming in the near future.

  • Improvements in covering of the flats
  • Improved pursuit angles
  • CPU takes sacks more often instead of the last second throws while getting hit
  • Worked on eliminating various exploits such as with the RB Direct Snap
  • Fixing of problems caused by first patch such as black squares for numbers on some helmets
  • Addition of Seahawks alternate uniforms
  • Improvements to simmed stats in Franchise mode
  • Other updates not specified yet to online, replays, uniforms, presentation, and more

  • Looks good so far.
  • I agree. I like the gameplay fixes but I am also interested in what uniforms will be fixed OR added (outside of Seattle's)....
  • lup315
    yes but they need 2 fix the patch on kickoffs...so if some1 wants 2 keep wasting ur time by jus sitting there or keep goin back and fourth wit a onside kick and a kickoff...and if they do dat and waste da play clock time should be penaltalized instead of u still wating 2 recieve the ball off a kickoff. this should result in a penalty 5 yards for delay of game and not all kickers hae a strong enough leg to kick it n da endzone which the longer they have to kick da shorter the kick will be and u could possibly have a better kickoff return ratio better...easports needs 2 fix dat den it will be a better patch
  • Wish they would patch the in season progression. I would really like to see my players progress either up or down weekly in offline franchise.
  • That would be kinda cool I guess but, I'm sure EA would do it wrong, and you would end up with a bunch of 99's.
  • yeah
    it should atleast be how well the player does in the season, not just upgrade them because theyre a rookie or 1 year, if a 8 year vett puts up incredible numbers he should go up, ive had rookies sit on the bench all year and go up 8 points, while a reciever gets 2000 yds 25 tds and doesnt go up - kinda stupid imo
  • giantsfan124
    Please fix offensive line getting pancakes! They don't get any pancakes and they don't progress.
  • What? My guards with the Bills (Wood and Levitre) have gone up roughly 8-10 points each in two seasons.
  • josh
    cause all of the younger players go up that many even if they sit the bench they move up like 8 points while the vets are stuck even if they had an amazing year
  • MassMovement
    i wish they would update the online franchise severs to include contracts, free agency, playoff standings,more stat info, they said its sever based so why havent we seen any updates there?
  • Way too big a project to get added in this year, that will take them all the way up to Madden 11's release and hopefully they'll get it right. A little disappointed that they haven't added anything though.
  • that because they not going add anything . and they will over promise and under deliver next year too. im pretty much done with madden. until they competitions in the nfl license they don't have improve anything.
  • yeah
    agreed the online franchise is so bare-boned its just sad how shitty it is
  • seph
    Then they need to hire until it's no longer too big a project. No excuses. EA needs to decide how badly they really want my money.
  • Bojangles
    Remembered when they teased us 3 months before the game came out for us to voice our opinion on it if we wanted it? Well we did and they turned around and sold us a box of hope. I don't understand why they would promote that if they had no intention of living up to it. EA has too many liars working for them and their flagship franchise is a bag full of hope.

    They received a ton of money from selling the game and selling add-ons so there is no reason that they couldn't get their lazy butts to fix broken aspects. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU KNEW THEY WERE BROKEN FROM THE START!

    I wished 2K would have filed a lawsuit against EA on monopolizing the football gaming industry. There is absolutely no pressure to make a great game that doesn't have so many flaws and money plays. This is the only game that has so many money plays. On my 1st time playing it on my 1st drive I realized that nobody covers the RB or when they do they can't keep up so how did that make it in the launch? I keep buying this game thinking that they will make that true sim only to come away disappointed year in and year out.
  • I would like too see Draft classes in online franchise.
  • Matt
    I don't know if everyone here plays on All-Madden, but when I play Franchise mode on All-Pro, I usually get somewhere from 29-33 Sacks a season with the left end alone (I'm using Cam Wake). Is the QB throwing the ball away really that much of a problem?

    I take back what I have to say if this fix is meant for the QB throwing it away early on All Madden.
  • Shoe
    It's almost impossible to get to the QB on All-Madden.
  • I agree. I use D. Ware and I can only get about 8-12 sacks a year. on All Madden. QB always throws the ball before i get there
  • mjthegreat
    mayb ur just not that good.
  • kaezyd
    the thing with most people posting here that they get 30 sacks is that they are running Nano blitz packages and know it or they are and they dont know it and just assume that they not having a problem getting the QB. I play on all-pro offline and play a sim game running real plays with the real playbook not changing the shit like most of you out there. and i get between 12-14 sack with a DE and 9-12 with a DT and 6-9 with a LB or two nothin over the top just the usual.. i think that hte patch will mak eme get twice that because the QB throwing early saves him alot when i play
  • Rjblitz02
    Do you think EA would ever add the Buc's black alternate jerseys?
  • They should fix Dwight Freeney's age! He's 31 not 28! And some visual things
  • lol Your wrong, and right. EA does need to fix his age but, he is not 31 he is 29. They can do that with a roster update tho.

  • What I meant was she was 28 not 31..and you're right he's 29..
  • lol Your wrong, and right. EA does need to fix his age but, he is not 31 he is 29. They can do that with a roster update tho.
  • Crank2HighVoltage
    Those are fashion jerseys. They've never worn black alternates iirc.
  • Ryan
    They are already in the game...
  • pep
    the bucs black jerseys are in the game!
    scroll threw the jerseys and you will see them
  • BLACKFLAGZ10
    how about puttin the ranked matches back on 5mins! every since ea stupid ass changed it i havent play madden!
  • 5 mins is way too short with accelerated clock on. 7 mins is a little more balanced at least so each side will get a couple possessions each half.
  • just a longer game of cheesy ass shit.. sucks.. everyone plays exactly the same.. very cheesy and boring. instead of 5 minutes of cheese.. its 7 lol
  • Very true...you have morons running goal line offensive packages all game, sweeps......im like this is wayy too long for freakin cheesers....

    No one actually plays sim based football online anymore, very rare....everyone is some sort of exploit freak
  • mjthegreat93
    yeah it sucks. I used to play as the eagles (and yes i played with them straight up). now that i dont play as them i refuse to play against them b/c people would just run with vick or exploit the lack of flat coverage.
  • Vaughn
    people who buy games just to play online are stupid as hell
  • Jeff
    One thing I would like to see in offline franchise is being able to change contracts. I doubt it will happen this year, but I liked it better when we were able to decide to back or front load the contracts, or even them. Now when I play they are all back loaded and I have to release to many players to stay under the salary cap.
  • beechhoud
    yeah i trade away haynesworth and portis and im still 25 mill over
  • sounds good to me.. just want DT Dixon in my EAGLES roster nxt time..
  • Brian Dawkins
    Listen RvG_Spear for the last time get off my nutz and the Eagles nutz. . DT Dixon sucks
  • dixon is ok he clogs up the middle and is seeing more and more playing time he needs to be added he had a sack against the giants last game
