Yeah, some of the people over there are going nuts about it. I wish that they would just drop a bone, but I agree it will probably be 2 weeks minimum before the patch is available for everyone.

Patches have to be certified and approved by Microsoft, so it will be a while before we actually see it appear for public download.

Sucks, but that's just the way it is for 360 gamers.

PS3 folks might see it earlier.

Where did you get this info from?

PS3 never get patches earlier.PS3 patch have to get approve and certified by sony before posting,Just like Microsoft. I own both syetems. And when there are game updates depending on the publisher some time you get both the sony and 360 update at the same time. But most of the time its 2 days later for the PS3.Unless it change, haven't brought a PS3 game since my friend left.

I don't own the game... but most of the time, MAJOR patches come with major unforeseen problems. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you guys. But honestly, you all should be expecting some decent issues post patch.

Hope this patch fixes the problem. Madden needs serious competition and in its current form, Backbreaker is not even close.

Depends on what aspect of the game you are comparing. Player interactions, AI, Franchise Depth, or Gameplay.

I think BB wins the first and loses the rest but the overall gap isn't that big.

Can we get some info on this patch soon?? I would like to hear something because backbreaker has potential.. I would like to Rent Madden and then Backbreaker and make a choice... I

It looks like they're not even going to give even high level information about the patch until it's in the hands of people that can make videos hyping it.

If they're distributing it to people during certification, I don't see why we couldn't get some patch notes. It's a marketing thing I think.

People are speculating that we might have something soon per Todd's 'tick tock' twitter post - http://twitter.com/toddgibbs but the community is quick to jump on every little thing as a sign or indication of something.

Apparently there's an embargo on the people who are getting it early, because that apexisfree guy on youtube posted a video of some new stuff and it's been removed. Reading that it included new replay camera angles and an improved throwing motion.
