Madden NFL 2002 Patch v2.2 Update

EA continues to listen to the Madden PC community and based on the feedback we received, we are pleased to announce that Patch v2.2 is in test and will be available in two weeks. This update will include the following:

- Improved defensive AI. We're listening and we think we have a solution that will result in more balance and more challenging game play.

- Improved video card compatibility. With current drivers, even more cards will be compatible with Madden NFL 2002. Specifically, Voodoo3 cards will not be required to run in Compatibility Mode.

- Added game log feature. After each game, a log file named GAMESTAT will be created in the STATS folder. This file contains the Box Score, Game Stats, Game Play Settings, Slider Settings, and weather conditions of the game just played. This gives users an easy way to distribute stats or game settings.

- Made two improvements to online play. Added a Network timeout pop-up, which appears after 10 seconds of inactivity during an online game and fine tuned online game reporting to address issues with scores not always being reported back to the server.

- Made two improvements to online Franchise. Saved Franchise games will now store the injury status of players and addressed renegotiation of player salaries when coaching changes are made.

- Addressed an issue with penalties causing a change of possession.

- Addressed an issue with custom team helmets in Franchise Mode.
