[quote=TimLawNYC;2042794602]I'm all for texting, I just don't see why it seems to also give license to ignore all standing rules of grammar, punctuation, syntax, and clarity. Cant' we text in the actual English language? Why does this new form of communication require us to develop an entirely new, nonsensical language?

It's the same thing with NCAA Football. Why does the fact that EA is now able to patch and tune the game after release apparently require us to play an unfinished, bug-ridden game for several months every year waiting for those patches (which often create their own new problems)?[/QUOTE

several months? come on dude. a little much dont you think?

He may not be that far off. My memory is a little shaky, but the infamous "pump-fake" glitch of last year took 'till sometime in the fall to fix, didn't it? Correct me if I'm wrong...

It may be possible that EA switching developer leadership and head of staff members in mid-development might be the reason why this game has the few bugs it has. As far as all that woman-like over exaggerating, saying that this game is completely broken;

My definition of few bugs differs from yours. I agree its not completely broken however for people who love online dynasties in my opinion its just short of being completely broken when it comes to OD's. Just my .02.

So the patch was submitted to Microsoft and Sony on the 29th (or that's when the announcement came out, anyhow) and the average time to approve a patch and release it is two weeks. So the quickest we should expect a patch will be on/around the 12th... exactly two months after the game was initially released. Two months to fix glaring issues in a title that should never have made it in in the first place.

Ya see, this is why we need PC ports for NCAA and Madden. Not only could we have patches a lot quicker, but we could have mods and user made fixes... which is exactly why they won't do it because EA doesn't want to lose money, even though its proven that good mod communities keep games alive, not kill them.

So, from what I gather by reading this thread is that the majority of the bugs that need fixing are with the online dynasties? Is there anything with gameplay that is killing this game that needs patching?

Not to mention they dont wait and try to lump a ton of stuff in to one patch because of the way MS and Sony do patching. They would have a lot of incremental patches that would fix things along the way so where as we might have gotten all these patches in 2 months on a PC they would have come out in smaller patches along the way so it would not be as annoying.

Something like that roster bug they probably would have fixed within 2 days after being identified.

Well, they keep last years game or the one before it VIABLE as an option to the newest release...which is why they don't want it. AND that is also why they won't fix ALL the bugs from one year to the next. If they made even a NEAR perfect game they wouldn't sell as many copies the next year cause there would be hold overs from the previous year.

I say that like its fact...I should add, its just my opinion(and sad that I had to add that, sheesh).
