We aren't going away anytime soon

I don't know where you think I even mentioned people that are impatient with the patch go away?

Complain away if you think it's doing any good. That is what a message board is for. Also, remember Ian mentioned that the patch had some hiccups. I'd rather have a patch that works instead of rushing one out and messing anything else up.

It's week 10 in the NFL and we still haven't fixed the flats issue, among others. I haven't played this game since before the NFL season started because I've been waiting for these issues to be fixed. Sports gaming is a sad industry.

Like Odogg mentioned, I'd rather they work on 11 than patch 5-8 times Madden 10.

If no one on here played Madden 08, I can see why people are impatient. I want to start my franchise up as well, but I remember 08 the patch was released in November as well.

I'm sure we will hear something soon.

Thanks,
How hard is it for any EA guys to post an E.T. for these fixes they spoke of?
Didn't an important EA devo. start this thread.

but now I'll just sit back and wait

You'd be surprised how much customer complaints will change how companies work.

It's difficult at this time, though to know who to point the finger at, EA or MS/Sony.

It's easier to point the finger at EA, isn't it?

I dont believe this crap at all. Why does it take week after week for MS and Sony to approve patches but anytime they release downloadable stuff that we pay for it out asap? Does that make any since to anyone here?

I'm sure there must be a certification process for arcade games as well. They don't want anything to crash their hardware. Would you?

MS/Sony only certify the patch. It was EA who didnt test their game thoroughly while it was in production. Its EA whos after sales customer support is non existant. Its EA's fault their 1st patch caused even more faults (blocks on helmets, kick returns)
Unfortunately we don't have any real option, and EA knows this. We either have Madden, or we don't have a football game. Madden could be the best yet, but this is getting beyond a joke.
We are over half way through the season. If the patch was something they charged for ( like the add ons in the Madden Shop) it wouldve been out long ago.

I am not talking about arcade games. AFL Legacy pack, All the add ons that were already on the game at launch. I did not see any long extended time for these features to be added in the madden store. Are these features any less likey to "crash hardware"
