Madden NFL 10 Patch #2 Details Coming Next Week

[bkrich83]

Am I the only one finding it funny people are acting like Madden is the only sports game to ever get patches?

Pretty much every sports game, and most non-sports games get multiple patches and updates throughout their life cycle.

This is hardly a Madden only phenomenon.

Bingo. All you can do is get another copy of the same game or trade it in (if that store accepts trade-ins). Opened software is not refundable as far as I know.

I'm here because I want Madden to be the best football simulation it can be, and I thought my voice along with others on this site would be the best place. I'm questioning that right now.

One of the few reasons I'm still on this forum is that the developers are here. Prior to last year when they started posting, it felt as though we customers had little input into the game.

Exactly, its the main reason I'm here. But I'm beginning think with all the crap I'm seeing tossed at Ian that he won't be here for long. I hope the moderation team takes that into account because I for one LOVE the dev interaction here. The intereaction here is like no other sports game I've ever played (outside of OOTP baseball).

Problems that were mostly found by consumers, not their QA department? I'm sorry, that's just not right!

EVERY game does it. Guess you might as well trade in your 360/PS3. Oh, and your PC.

Would you rather developers not fix issues.

You can't return broken games for a refund. Only for a copy of the same game - at best.

At least that's the way stores around here are. Piracy and all that is often the cited reason why they have these policies.

I must have missed all that - because I see nothing like what goes on at the OOTP boards (and I don't even post there all that often).

I've been here with relative frequency (though also relatively new) and haven't seen anything like what Markus does over there.
