Madden NFL 12 Title Update #2 Details

[yankees028]

anyone know the date the patch will be out? saw a couple pages back people where saying today? really want to see the changes on the PS3

Am I disappointed that this patch doesn't fix everything? Sure. I wish don't like having to do all the preseason cuts by hand but I have it down to a science and can get through it in 30 minutes or so...and that only happens ONCE every off-season.

Game killing? No. Broken? No. Poorly programmed? Sure. But this is an all-around great game. Could use new audio and better depth in Franchise but every year this game is showing improvement.

Look at NCAA. Look at NBA 2k12 online. Look at the freezes and bugs. Madden has had sooooooo few serious issues compared to these two releases.

For whatever reason, people like to moan about Madden no matter what. It'll never stop, no matter how good the game gets. i think a lot of these people look forward to the release not to play it, but to bash it online.

I'm sure there are some people out there like that. Then again some people have a legit argument. The franchise has many issues this year and I can't believe that EA didn't know about most of these before the release date. It's as if they sold an unfinished product while claiming that it was the best Madden to date. If I would have known about all the franchise issues I would have waited to buy the game until they were fixed. Then I could have gotten it either used or from a place like toys-r-us at a cheaper price. I wish they wouldn't have put a gag order on all of the people who got the game early, I'm sure they could have informed us of all the issues the game had and people like me wouldn't have taken EA for their word and bought a game that has done nothing but collect dust on my shelf.

I think Madden is held to a higher standard because it has been mediocre the last few years so a lot of it is backlash and pent up anger and also a lot of people love NFL football more than any other sports so they get mad if its not perfect

I do have to say, the UDFA sizes and shoulderpads issue, while hardly the issue others have made it out to be, is disappointing.

When I see a UDFA that is 6' 4" 383lbs, I would like him to not look like Terrell Owens.

This is an overarching problem with the way Tiburon/EA treats player sizes in general. I mean, go look at Vince Wilfork, and then look at his Madden representation. LOL

Even Michael Jasper, who they added to the later roster updates, 6' 4" 395lbs, they still made far to svelte. Maybe it is an issue with not wanting to offend players.

I'm curious as to why this wasn't included in the patch though.

According to the franchise developer on Twitter several weeks ago, it's not a bug.

Who knows, maybe it will take longer to rectify and they include it in a future patch or fix it for 13 and beyond.
