If Sony was winning this console war, this wouldn't be a problem but Sony was so STUPID for their high price system in the beginning that no one really wanted to develop for it for fear of poor game sales. No offense, but it's time for developers to tell MS to get a blu-ray component for their system because it's not enough space to move forward.

What all of you are failing to realize, is the problem has nothing to do with disc space, but the two system's internal memory (RAM).
So all of these arguments about Blu-ray making the game better are null.

With that said, I don't believe either system is to blame for the problems in the game, EA and development are. If EA would hire a second dev team to work on long term improvements, we would have a good game. I don't expect them to spend more money, but that would fix the problem.

I am upset with the dev team for telling us things were in the game,that never made it to the game, but I really don't think it is possible to fix this game with the small amount of time they have during a cycle, and the demands of the marketing dept. (back of the box)

I hope it's not late November or December, but they've done Madden patches in December before. That's really way too late. Season's almost over by December. For max results, second patch really should have been released by mid-October.

This is taking awhile....

My Madden is just collecting dust until patch 2 comes out. It just bothers me knowing all the Franchises I had set up are on hold or will have to be restarted whenever this patch comes out.I'm looking forward to the improvements, but it kinda sucks we will be more than halfway through the season by the time I'll be playing this game to its full potential.

Thank you, thank you! Top players in madden 10 live and die through the flats.

I don't want to sound like a jerk, but this patch better VASTLY improve this game in many ways. I refuse to start a dynasty and then have a patch come out and make my sliders points. Don't get me wrong, taking time isn't a bad thing, but I am praying it's the Patch Of Patches. Waiting this long to play a game franchise-wise sucks.

That's not the problem. Xbox had a harddrive when PS2 never did. That never changed anything

ok so the waiting game starts
