Madden 09 Quick Patch #2 Update From EA

[countryboy]

Good to see the franchise freezing problems, though not everyone was seeing them, will be addressed in the second patch. Waiting an extra 2-3 weeks is tough but understandable. It will give me a chance to finish my NCAA first year dynasty.

I wanna know if there will be a possibility to download the patch for PS3 game without going online with the PS3 (for example to download the patch into a USB key).
Please let me know!
Thanks!!

Believe me guys...as someone who didn't see the franchise freezing issue until Year 3, I am MORE than willing to wait 2-3 weeks for this patch. Nothing like dedicating 40 hours of your life to a video game only to find out you can't proceed on to Year 3.

Had it not been for this franchise freezing issue, I'm sure the patch would be in your hands much sooner...but that problem wasn't found until recently.

Ian and the rest of the crew at Tiburon...a very heart felt thank you!

Major thanks to this community ...a few folks here on OperationSports actually emailed me PS3 Franchise files which allowed us to track the issue down much more quickly. You guys rock - as always! The patch is now at our internal quality control group, and then on to Sony and Microsoft by (we think) Friday. We are still targeting about 2-3 weeks from now for the patch to drop, and of course I will keep you updated as things progress. Ian

Thanks for the heads up....much appreciated.

Thanks for fixing this Ian as the franchise freezing was the biggest issue for me.

I would also like to know if we would have to restart our franchise after the patch for the freezing bug to be fixed.

If you've done any player editing at all (even just jersey numbers), you're going to want to restart your franchise anyway once the new patch is released. They fixed the problematic (non-existent) progression for any players who have been edited.

That, alone, is reason enough for me to restart. I don't edit player ratings or anything, only jersey numbers. Can't very well have someone wearing #12 or #78 on my Buffalo Bills, lol.

No don't get me wrong, very happy they've fixed the issue. Just was already counting down the days til patch #2 and this puts it back a bit.

Although i'm sure the next 2-3 weeks will come by quickly and we'll be much more happier then.
