Are you sure about hat? I always thought that the most recent patch includes the code form all previous patches with it?

OK, from doing a search Ian does mention freezing but it's a bit vague

Ian, are you getting rid of all the freezing? Franchise and in-game freezing? Or just franchise freezing?

And what about ghost wide receivers?

The game will go from say 1.0 to 1.1 with the first patch, and 1.1 to 1.2 with the 2nd patch. When you put the game in, it will prompt you to update your version to 1.2

This is the way it was with NCAA anyway.

Yeah sorry I might have "mis-typed" that.

My point is you will get both patches whether it's from 1 download (2+ patches combined into one download), or it's separate downloads, you will get every patch ever released for the game.

Not sure if they are combined or not, as I've always downloaded the patches when released. Either way, yes, you'll get all the patches.

Quit pretending you're married. It's OK to admit you're a 17-year-old kid living in your stepmom's basement.

Not only is this not true, it categorically incorrect. It was MS that eventually came out and told EA that they would not stand for players being charged for things in previous versions of games (see: alt uniforms in the PS2/XBOX versions for free vs charging players for DLC of the same stuff).

Has it been determined that there will not be a patch 3?

Any new additions/gameplay changes might be included in DLC?

Basically what I would like to know is:

1. The (Y) catch button will not be enabled for All Pro or All Madden?

2. The hook zones will not be adjusted (to play closer to the LOS) like they were in NCAA 09?

3. QB accuracy will not be tone down?

4. We will not have the ability to play ranked games on All Madden?

5. The speed cheats for defense on All Pro and All Madden will not be removed? ie. a 92 CB running faster or as fast as a 97 WR?

I believe Microsoft only "allows" developers to patch a game twice. It's trying to avoid situations where companies release 4, 5, or 6 patches.
