Madden NFL 10 Blog: 2nd Title Update Preliminary Details

[H1DR03L3KTRIC]

I can't wait for the patch, when it comes out I am going to start a new

franchise with 32 user controlled team's. It is almost like Christmas except you don't know what day Santa is going to bring the presents.

Is the concensus now that we are expecting the patch next week, probably tues-thurs 'ish?

If you don't believe me, find Ian's tweet. Take it down a thousand notches, ok, people? It will be out soon.

Just a reminder what Ian actually tweeted:

"I have been informed that the 2nd Madden 10 title update is officially in final 3rd party approvals. (i know...finally!)
4:08 PM Nov 17th from Echofon "

"I also have no clue when it will actually be released...sorry.
4:09 PM Nov 17th from Echofon"

and

"All the details about what is in the 2nd title update should be released soon. Folks are working on the list and the blog.
4:17 PM Nov 17th from Echofon"

So before people start claiming that Ian said or even promised that the patch will be released soon (which happened already end of October because people interpreted a comment by Ian in a wrong way), let's summarize:
- Ian did not mention MS & Sony, he said '3rd party'
- he does not know when the 2nd 'title update' will be released
- he gave us no exact time when the list of fixes will be available

No. There is absolutely no indication that the patch will be released next week. In fact, there are no timelines or target dates anyone knows about at all. The posts you see mentioning next week are built on hope...nothing more.

Again, no one knows when the second patch will be released. Period.

I could see this coming out next week. I hope!

Just to clear some stuff up. "3rd party" has and always will mean Sony/MS. There is no question that the patch is in their hands. Thats why he doesn't know when it will be released. How long it takes for them to release it is yet to be seen. Typically it takes a week 5-7 days. I've seen it done in as little as 2 and as long as two weeks.

In the console world 'first party' means the manufacturer of the respective hardware platform.
3rd party means the independent game development studios/distributors.

E.g. 2K has exclusive 3rd party rights for MLB games.
