None of the patch 1 fixes are going to make much difference to franchise, I don't think. Most of those will come in patch 2.

• Fixed False Start Grieving issues with Online games
• Fixed video player issue where video would hang on latent connections

Has anything been said about the cpu missing so many fg's ? I played a game and vinatieri missed 3 fg's in a row.. 2 from inside 35 yds. and 1 from about 45.

This wasn't a 1 game deal either, the cpu is missing a crazy amount of easy fg's when i play.

Has Ian mentioned anything about improving the A.I. in the last few minutes of the half/game? When the CPU is ahead, they are far more conservative at the end of the first half than in the NFL, even letting the clock run out when they're only 25 yards or so away from field goal range. They're much more passive then they should be. And in the second half, it seems like they're not running the play clock down close to zero until less than two minutes remain.

I didn't see anything in the FAQs about the cpu's over use of blitzing/all out blitzing. I hope they can tune this down as well.

Excuse me but do you have to restart your franchise when the Madden 10 v. 1.1 comes out?
