Good to here. Once the patch comes out I will get the game. Thanks for the update.

Actually I've always thought that there was more on the actual disk that was not activated. I think the patch will unlock and/or activate these additions and finish tweaking them, as well as fix gameplay issues.

I agree on the timing, im not expecting a miracle or anything... im a little wary about what we could get. 15 seconds to throw behind our amazing OL, and DBs that can't catch ball after ball that bounces off their helmets?

This patch ultimately will only be for the couple/few thousand fans who think it's the best football game for them and still play it in 2 months.

Why would you think a game trying to make a name for itself would do that? That doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

They have stated many times that they felt very pressed for time and that there were a number of things that should have gone in but couldn't. That doesn't mean that the code isn't there, it could just not be active. I believe they had a patch planed even before the game released. I have plenty of games where the DLC is just an unlock for what's already on the disk. But what i'm saying for BB is not fact. It's just my opinion.

Yes it does. If they didn't have time to "put it in" that means there wasn't enough time to code it in the game.

I don't disagree with you that they had planned for a patch, but this isn't like other games you've played with a planned DLC already on the disc. There is no way they could risk leaving any stoned unturned.

To think they actually coded something on the disc that is unlockable is foolish! Pun intended

But there are things on the disc that aren't unlocked, I keep reading on their forums regarding codes to unlock stadiums, and no codes have been released, This I'm certain and would bet my first born it's in the patch. As for the other areas of concern, the code may be there and the patch will tweak the effectiveness, or frequency of certain things. It will really depend on how big the patch is. You will be able to tell if things are being added or just tweaked by the size of the patch.
