If so, I wonder how people have dealt with football games this generation up to this point. There was just so much other stuff wrong with broken features and the such... this patch seems more like a patch that was released "just to get a patch out." While I'm happy some of these issues were addressed... in the grand scheme of things, gameplay will remain the same after this patch. Get me gameplay fixes and then we can discuss all the "sky is falling" type comments.

Now i wonder if i was in the minority, but what has been so frustrating for me in this waiting was the 'accuracy' issue of the rosters. yes i have names and can 'deal with it'. But the depth charts of my favorite team, (the defense in particular) was a mess!
A whopping 3 correct defensive starters! If i tried to move a reserve free safety's postion to CB (where they moved over a year ago in real life) my stuff froze up. Im looking forward to playing with the real players that are actually at their correct positiions without my game crashing. Maybe im OCD in that regard, but when i see 3 guys not even on the team anymore, I am not simply happy they are 'named', it drives me bat**** crazy. I want it accurate.
Simply overall I need this patch to enjoy the game. EA guys, THANKS FOR THE PATCH, (although im not buying madden in protest, I cant pretend I wont come running back next year; been a fan sinse Bill Walsh). I appreciate your updates as you made this process...almost entertaining.

peace

Nice job guys getting it out finally....now just gotta wait until a final roster gets put out there.

i have a roster file with all the team names but four... i've also done mass editing to make it so the good teams aren't out of control, let me know if anybody wants them..

We still have another patch worth of fun to look forward to, so I should be around for that at least. From here on out though I start work on NCAA 010, so my time will become pretty limited. I doubt there is really a whole lot I could contribute anyways since I won't be able to talk about any new features I'm working on.

Are you saying patch 2 should be out sooner than later for both systems?

Hey CD,

I know there is a 4MB limit for patches on XBL... so how is it the PS3 patch is 20MB? Compression?
