According to the EA’s Inside Blog posted by Ian Cummings; the first Madden 10 patch is set to release as early as next week. This comes as a huge relief from those annoyed with some of the bugs in the game like holding on every other field goal which have probably cost me 10 plus games. Anyways, there is surprisingly a lot more fixes than I thought would be in the first patch but that may be the reason why it has taken this long to put one out.
Here is a list of fixes in the upcoming patch:
* 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
What do you think about what was addressed and what should be included in the 2nd patch?

This patch was much needed and I cannot wait til released. Broadcast camera should be fun to try out, however I don't know how effective it will be. Anyone else planning on using it?

what about the RB direct snap. everybody runs away from him until he is past the line of scrimmage

Lord Classix,
Broadcast camera is geared toward spectator mode, cpu v. cpu players (like me)
Some things that need to be included in patch:
1. Seahawk default uniforms are wrong, need pants changed to same color
2. Offensive linemen need to record pancakes to progress, even if they are "manufactured" for stats
3. Interceptions slider needs to work, all the way to zero should mean zero interceptions
4. As of now, no injuries occur in spectator mode. This needs to change for us franchisers who watch.
5. I can still trade a 37 year old lineman with a 94 OVR for the 2nd overall draft pick. Too easy to exploit.

what about run commit when the offense draws the defense off sides and the 1 sec system turn off and wont recieve a win i really hate those too glitches its starting too happen alot

The interception deal is KEY……the slider just does not work…..and the sliders for offense and defense have to be more sensitive as well…like in old generation ps2 games. They simply do next to nothing for CPU vs CPU……i am a big fan of the spectate mode in franchise as well.
All these sliders played up for months…and they do not work????
I heard that the focus was only on running sliders….is this true….???…cause that would be horrible!
Interceptions, passing, def, run def, etc, etc….all sliders need a sensitive patch please.
thanx

They need to fix the running game and stop making the D- Line so effect. It's good that the defense stops you sometimes but it's ridiculous when their barely even letting you get back to the line of scrimmage. The defense is nowhere near you and all a sudden their on your ass. They run fastest than most of your running backs. I wouldn't doubt if they were juicing up on the sidelines. The computer freezes you sometimes when you have a clear path or when you about to brake a big run. There's too many glitches in the run game. What fun is it to brake a big run every five games you mine as well throw the ball the whole time then. I play on my skills, the passing is fine, the defense is alright but the running sucks and good running back in the game can run all over you and break tackles I don't see how this is realistic. They need to fix this other than that it's not a bad game the best one they made so far. I'll give you my opinion on other the things they need to fix in this game but this is one of the biggest problems in the game.

playoff seeding in franchise mode needs to be fixed! Wildcard teams are never seeded ahead of division winners when you get to round 2 of the playoffs.

Some of the cut video needs fixing. If I save a Replay the camera angles are atrocious often zoomed in on teh crown through the whole play. When it cuts to the QB on teh sideline phone as we are about to take the field his phone and hand are missing, the HB on the bike has intermitent hands. Playing on My Level at about IQ 732 I seem to get bad fumblitis when I get a lead and if I give up a turn over the momentum is insurmountable. Lots of bad calls at this point too..specifically with ball spots and facemasks on every drive on Defense. I too have offensive line troubles, I get tackled on the handoff far too often, I can pass well but I am under constant pressure doing it..about .5 secs of time before i have to get rid of the ball, my TE's and Tackles seem to lack the presence or ability to seal the edge ever (I can't begin to say how many tiem I've made a cut to use a block to have the blocker fail to initiate or to just let go. Opposing backs are exceptionally hard to stop, not uncommon to see 5 or 6 uncounted broken tackles on a play.

Conersely in Man Coerage (een doule) my guys neer hold a ump and are always lost y teh time the pass is thrown sometimes they don't een line up on the right side of the field and wont adjust when I make the adjustment to get Ds in etter position. Even properly aligned it is common for my DB in man coverage to be out of the frame when his man catches the ball. And my All Pro Lineackers (I use Steelers) can't get pressure and the opposing QB has all day unless I can get a lineman through manually. I might add some of the issues I face with pressure is that the opposing ump and run is so good it seems to me that they are holding well past 5 yards while blitzing 5-8 men on each down..making even the quick routes tough completions against the blitz.

Broadcast Mode issues? We are trying to watch games between two exported franchise teams in spectator mode and it keeps freezing in the first quarter. This seems to have only happened after the most recent patch (Sept 23rd or 24th). Any ideas on whats happening? Something to do w/ the new "broadcast mode"? We enabled broadcast mode, and can no longer change the camera options while in spectator mode. We changed the camera options in play mode, but it reverts every time we try to start a new game. Any ideas on this?
