How long does it take for them to check the Patch?

And you responding and complaining will not stop these threads,best thing to do is just don't read them or respond to them if you don't agree with them.

They could ask for a progress update, and inform their customers.

This is actually a GREAT point, and is exactly what I intend to do from now on. I rarely play Madden during the months of August or early September anyway as it's too nice outside to be stuck indoors playing a video game, AND Madden always has WAY too many issues in its initial release anyway.

Waiting for a couple months will give me plenty of time to peruse these boards and see what kind of feedback the game is getting, and then hopefully hit the "turf" running with a patched version of Madden by late September or early October?

And if they tell EA about 1-2 weeks, is there anything the consumer or EA can do about that?

All I'm saying is that whatever answer MS/Sony gives to EA, there isn't anything anyone can do about it.

Well, there is. It seems Sony and MS are over due. Why? What still has to happen? How long does that take? Who is doing it? When? Or should EA still accept "1-2 weeks" if we're still waiting in March?

After all, EA pay a royalty to MS and Sony on each game, so they have a responsibility to EA, who have a responsibility to us.

2 weeks? I laugh at you guys complaining about the wait. Ask me how long i waited for SOCOM's last patch. Go ahead.

EA gets 2 patches to fix Madden so why rush to get the first one out like they had to for NCAA when they can take their time and get as much fixed as possible. We are also about to hit the big release season for video games so I am sure there are games that take priority over Madden.

And if EA fids out that information and passes it on to us, what does that change? Nothing. The only thing that will do is give people something new to bitch and moan about. The one thing that I've learned in my time here, is that people want things and they want them now. They aren't interested in the process and how long it takes, they just want things now.

Whether they give us daily information on the process or not, the fact remains that the patch will come out when MS/Sony are ready to release it, and not a moment sooner. I agree, waiting for something you want stinks, but thats the way it is.
