This is completely inaccurate. I would be quite bothered if someone came out with a patch a week or so after release.

As for the statement "other sports games are throwing patches out in a matter of days", I challenge you to name 1 that has done that. Of course, not including the release day patch that all games have.

For a game developer, you will never find a bigger EA basher. He likes to pop off about anything EA.

No, not really.

They announced the patch was sent to MS/Sony on Oct 7th. The game came out at the end of August. So, they look at everyone's input for a week or two and then began developing the patch. So, in house, the patch was worked on for 3-4 weeks and tested in their house by Oct 7th. Once it's out of EA's hands, testing from MS/Sony takes 1-2 weeks.

Patch released by Oct 18th. That's a pretty good time line if you ask me. NCAA's was much longer than that.

As far as quick patches, yeah 2k released one recently for online issues, but that was it. It was a much smaller patch than this one.
