It appears they are attempting to get as much into this patch as possible and as such it has still not been submitted to MS or Sony for certification. Indications are that could happen within the next week or so. That would put the patch on track to release in the first half of November. The patch is expected to include many community requested gameplay tweaks along with adjustments to the sim stats in Franchise mode, fixes to problems that the first patch caused, and the addition of the Seahawks alternate jerseys. Complete details of what the patch will entail have not yet been laid out, and that probably will not be done until the submission has been officially made or until cleared and ready for release.

Nice, I'm expecting it before Thanksgiving. In the meantime my Madden 10 disc is getting dusty. Come on EA, lets go!

That "update" from Ian's Twitter is from 3 weeks ago (posted October 8th).

Reaching a little hard? Not only are you omitting the first Madden patch, but you're assuming the timeline for the release of patches that aren't out yet.

Here's an accurate breakdown:

Madden release: August 14 / First patch: September 24 / Second patch: Forthcoming

NBA 2K10 release: October 3 / First patch: Forthcoming

Looks a little different when you stick to facts, doesn't it?

How could you have the Ugly Jersey Bowl without the Bucs in their Orange Creamsicle throwbacks? You'd have to have an Ugly Jersey Bowl tournament or something.

Almost all of them. Thats the problem.

"so we increased the chance of the CPU QB to hold the ball longer and actually take a sack instead of being able to get a throw out of sack pass off before he is brought to the ground."

Does this worry any one else? I don't know if having the QB hold on to the ball longer is the answer. If there's someone open the cpu QB should throw it, i think this could lead to more picks. Maybe i'm looking too deep.

I don't think you understand what he means. If there is an open WR and the QB is not in the grasp of a defender, chances are he's going to throw the ball to that WR like always.

This patch will ELIMINATE cheap interceptions by forcing the QB to take the sack when they are being brought down or being hit from the blind side. It eliminates the lame duck throws that the DL keep on picking off and taking for 6.
