Madden NFL 10 Blog: 2nd Title Update Preliminary Details

[RayAllen20]

I really wish Madden would come out with Madden 11, then just do roster updates for another year, and release Madden 13 with no bugs, and a lot more additions. Maybe make the game $70 instead of $60 or make us pay some more money for the roster updates. Then we could use patches to add to a game, not fix it. For example, the devs could be adding new catching animations or adding training camp back in a patch, Would be sick. Not sure if it's realistic but I'd love it.

Of course it's going to be the "Big One" compared to the 1st title update. This one has more game play fixes.

Unfortunately, some gamers only see one side, their side.

You guys know the drill..they're unpredictable." People read it and thought that 'they' must be Sony & MS. Based on recent statements by Ian I would say that 'they' was a general description for patches. I guess that the patch was still in EA internal testing in early/mid-November.

So we're back to square one. I agree I don't think its in Sony/MS hands. For the sake of the game I hope it is but I have yet to see any quotes or statements by Ian or anyone from EA stating that the patch is wrapped up and in the hands of the people who release them.

Seems as though they'd make an announcement when or if they actually did pass it on to Sony/MS.

The hearsay on this patch is unlike any other I've ever seen.

The only reason EA doesn't do more than 2 patches is because they have to pay for each one. They can afford it, so why not have 5-8 patches throughout the year? Greed.

It's week 10 in the NFL and we still haven't fixed the flats issue, among others. I haven't played this game since before the NFL season started because I've been waiting for these issues to be fixed. Sports gaming is a sad industry.

Benicio - it's not greed, it's about moving forward - would you rather them continue patching Madden 10 all year and just forget about doing Madden 11?

I see both sides of it.

EA is the only 1yr cycled NFL licensed game though. It just sucks we only have 1 New Nfl game to choose from each year.

Its either Madden or something old and outdated. EA wants to be the Big Boy on the block!

I doubt we would see this much complaining about this patch if we had another new Nfl football game to play

What do you expect to see?
So until then, you will just have to deal w/ this . We aren't going away anytime soon

All I'm gonna say is that it's November 17th, football season is over halfway done, and we are still waiting on a patch to "fix" the game.
