Madden 09 Patch #2 Released, Impressions Here

[ktd1976]

not only is the franchise freezing NOT fixed, but the IN GAME freezing isnt fixed, either.

I started completely fress, deleted ALL saved madden 09 data from my PS3.....downloaded the patch, and the roster update

Game froze in game 3 straight times in my first regular season game....(I simmed the pre-season)

NOW IM PISSED

This game is garbage. I started a new franchise after downloading the patch and on my second game in franchise mode I got a freeze as soon as the game ended tonight. Time had expired and it froze up going into the stats & highlights screen. This disc is a month and a half old with not a single scratch on it, and my PS3 is brand new.

I have bought every Madden since the early 90's on the Genesis but I will never purchase another EA product again.

09' has froze up on 50% of my franchise games out of about 20. I waited patiently (and skeptically) for that patch to see if they could fix their product but all I got out of it was 1 finished game before it froze up again.

I'm done.

thats exactly where mine freezes up......when that box with the replays comes up.......or it freezes when trying to quit the game after its finished.......or it freezes when i try to quit a game half way through

I actually took the game out and snapped it in half. Pretty dumb because I coulda traded it in to Gamestop or something but this game deserves the trash can.

It actually felt really good tossing in the 2 halves of a Madden disc into the garbage with old discarded pizza crusts, coke cans and cheetos wrappers. Right were it belongs.

Yeah, I know. It sucks because I basically gave them 65 bucks to throw a disc into a trash can. Not to mention all of the loot they got off this faulty piece of crap overall.

It still felt great breaking it, though

I don't know if this has been brought up or not... especially now... that I have a few broken knuckles and I really don't care to sift through this thread.

CPU QB Accuracy must be addressed. Not in a DLC pack... in a patch... NOT IN A DLC pack... in a patch.

Because honest to God, there's no way Donovan McNabb or any other **** QB can throw off of his back foot with a LB in his face and land it square in the numbers. No way in hell.

Furthermore, it seems to me that the Human defense just got dumber. At least pre-patch, I can make a play on a floating ball. Instead, I can't get anywhere close enough because they're all wanting to have a massive orgy on the sidelines. Coverage in general needs to be tuned.

Anyway, that's my effing rant.
