In any case, my best guess is that it's the same patch as the Live team would have submitted it to both companies at the same time. If Live were to pull the patch from Sony before it got released and provide it with another patch that addressed the issues found in the XBox patch, it would in all likelihood count as their 2nd patch which would bump up against their 2 free patch limit. Just a hunch.

The patches can be different, sometimes, because the actual copies of the game can have different glitches and bugs, sometimes, depending on the system, and the devs could make the patches slightly different for each system. If the patches are not partial to a system, then sometimes the patches can affect one game differently since their could be different bugs for each game on either system. Plus the programming IS different for each system so that can also factor in to the effects of patches and such.
It's a toss up, in that regard, and I'm well aware of how each company has different certification processes which can also be dependent on their workload.

Either way, I want the patch, asap - Lol.

Maybe it didnt pass Sony's QA tests, maybe they saw the problems that 360 users are seeing and denied the patch??

I would never let the opinion of people online influence me as most over react and love to complain. I'd rather get the patch and form my own opinion as even if there are new glitches they can be fixed with future updates. What I do know is the devs here have responded and have been very honest about legitimate problems. So if the patch does not cause any severe damage in gameplay I say bring it on because I need manual post up and player lock asap!

I already feel that way pre-patch on PS3 (love/hate/can't stop) in terms of online so I guess I have nothing to worry about.

I'm interested to get the patch, seems like a ton of people are saying it's horrible but there are a few posters (who aren't regular posters here) who say the game improved, the fouls are good, etc. I'm anxious to see how the game plays for me.

Guys download the patch and play for yourself before going off of what is said.

Im sure you'll like some things in it, and some things you'll hate too

Can I just say, I see a lot of people using downloaded sliders around here. I'm not saying this is bad or saying anyones slider set up is bad.. but I think it would help a lot if people only posted complaints and observations about the gameplay based on the default sliders.. otherwise things could get really messed up (and maybe have been already).

I've played with the default sliders all along, and apart from from the lack of fouls (which I think was fixed by just maxing the global foul slider) I think the game plays really solid in its pre patch form.
