Madden 09 Quick Patch #2 Update From EA

[haroldthebarrel]

but as of now are there any way to get around the franchise crash bugs?
I experience both in game, at the second play of my first drive, and just before the training screen goes into animations.

I want my games to play out as close to real life as possible (sim). I think NCAA 09 is fine for people ok with an arcade style of football, but not for the sim players. This isn't the NCAA board so I am not going to go into all the problems NCAA 09 has even after patch #2.

I agree that Ea could of just said hold off on sending that patch out, but why. Couldn't they just let the patch go threw and sumbit the franchise patch later.

I have heard that they are only allowed 2 free patches per game. So that's probably why they chose to hold off on it.

well that sucks. i usually try and finish a few seasons before the nba games come out. looks like that wont happen.guess i'll be benching madden especially with the socom beta coming friday.

I'm not sure what the big deal is about the delay. It's only an extra week really. Ian said on the 25th of August that it would probably be 2-3 weeks from that day. Well just over a week later, he says about 2-3 weeks from now so that's only 1 extra week. I'd rather it come out a week later with the franchise freezing fixed.

Thanks for the heads up. Hoping it gets rolling here soon. Cant wait to jump in to the franchise and have everything function normally!!

And thankfully TJ they did.

I completely agree with your earlier statement about the game wasting your time if/when it locks up.

As a franchise player...all the other fixes are pointless if your franchise is froze solid. I was questioning the wisdom of patch #2 without including this freezing issue being addressed. If my franchise had froze...I would never had risked it happening again. Rendering Madden '09' nearly worthless to me.

So waiting for this fix to me, is MORE than worth it.
