They will wait until after Madden comes out so EA racks in all the money from people who will say "**** this, I'm sick of waiting for a patch, might as well buy Madden." Makes perfect sense to me.

Basically if the patch is to come out after Madden, some causal impatient gamers who are jonesing for football will get Madden and leave NCAA in the dust or trade it in for Madden.

While, if the patch was to come out before Madden, then they would probably give NCAA another shot and if the patch makes NCAA play good (which is what we are all hoping for) than they may end up not getting Madden for many reasons (money, don't need two football games, etc).

"causal impatient gamers" don't care about a patch and probably don't even know what a patch is.

the release of Madden should have no bearing on the release date of the patch.

While I agree that it should have no bearing... I'm also sure that it does.

Why in your right mind would you buy another football game on its release date from EA when the first one that came out is broken and tattered? No way I'm spending 60 more bucks on a game that could be just as broken. You all shouldve learned this lesson the first time.

I don't consider this game broken so that why I would buy another on release day.


Do you really care where I sent this from?

Ima tell you right now, the patch will fix eveyrthing mentioned, but create 3 more problems. I'm not saying this to be a debbie downer, but its kind of just how these things seem to work.
