From what I understand, it may even be released earlier, sometime this week even. Not sure though.

this is absolutely ridiculous, if my memory serves me correctly, we were optimistic that we'd see the patch over a week and a half ago, and now we're not even sure that we'll see it this week? what a joke

Why are you so angry? The first patch doesn't even do that much. EA is the one that screwed it up in the first place and they are the ones that had an error in the patch submitted. Furthermore, when Sony went to test the revised patch on Friday (?) the EA servers went down and Sony couldn't test this. Take a deep breath and realize that while Sony may be a little slow here they are not ultimately responsible. The second patch is the important one anyways.

yeah, i've actually seen pass interference once, it was on a pick i returned for a touch down. since i had possesion of the ball, the ref didn't know what to do so he called pass interference on the offense, which was actually me... so i dunno, other than that its been a few holding calls and a couple face masks.

Agreed, people are acting like this patch saves the game.........if this was patch 2 i think this would be a different story

I'm not really angry and haven't voiced displeasure, mostly b/c I'm just a patient guy, and this stuff doesn't really throw me off. It's not life altering by any means.

However, I can totally see why people are worried about this patch. I want to update rosters from Square 1 myself, and am not able to do so. For people like me, that's a major concern. That probably explains it.

# 367 bconey23 @ 08/12/08 02:38 PM

I think the real issue is that if it is taking this long for the 1st patch which is the patch that is less involved, how in the heck can we be optimistic about patch 2. Again, game came out 07/15/08. 07/16/08 - promise of a 5-10 day release on patch 1. Um patch 1 wasn't released until August 5, and at that only for 360, PS3 still waiting and waiting and waiting.....With that, how can I a PS3 owner be anything but upset and worried that for one I still dont have the 1st patch, which again, is the lesser of the two and that when/if patch 2 is ever released, it seems the 360 users will have it weeks, possibly months before I do at the rate we are currently going.

FYI: Regardless of who's fault it is, EA, Sony, MS, whoever, who cares, JUST FIX IT!!

This isn't true. Where did you get this from?

This is exactly why when people beg for estimates on dates, I just don't give them anymore. I say that we are expecting 5-10 days, and now people say I promised 5-10 days.

That does concern me as well but I just hope that Sony will speed up the process for patch #2 to make sure that doesn't happen.

I apologize for that Adam..I didn't want to imply that you "pinky sweared" to us in any forums. I wasn't actually referring to anyone in particular. I should have used a word like, expectation, anticipated, etc..instead of promise!!

No prob... it just becomes like a game of telephone. I say "estimate" then someone says I "expect it" and then people interpret that as it "will" which someone else will assume means "promise."

And as you can see with the certification process and its headaches playing itself out in this thread, we just can't make promises. And with hard street dates, we have to finish the game with enough lead time to handle being bounced in certification a couple times. That's why the game takes so long between final and release day.

As much hate as our QA department gets around here lately, they boast one of the lowest submission rates in the industry.. somewhere around 2 (this includes EA certification in addition to Sony and MS, which is where most bounces happen). On last gen, that number got as low as a mind boggling 1.2 in like 2004 or so.

I also don't understand the facination or the obsession over getting the first patch. Once you do, you can begin playing (with the right names, HOORAY) a completely flawed game.

Patch 1... Patch 2... Patch n...

There shouldn't be any patches. Updates maybe, like roster changes, uniform changes... things that weren't in EA's control or in their research in Jan-July 08 (and a lot of that should've been).

But we're talking about major bugs, major gameplay issues... all of this should've been fleshed out in development. I have to super-sim every kickoff or punt to get any realism out of those plays. That's inexcusable. Let alone the fact that this game doesn't begin to touch all of the capabilities that we should have playing on 3rd gen systems. It doesn't even have all of the freaken stadiums for the Bowl Subdivision.

Forget patches... develop a freaken game that works.

For roster editors like me this patch does save the game. It means that I can edit until the second patch comes out and edit safely without worrying about the fiu bug. Now I'll be playing madden until both patches come out.

I gotcha RAZR and i didnt mean to offend anyone, i just think at ths point, complaining doesnt make it come out faster. I wish it was out for you PS3'ers so you could get going on rosters. Hang in there. Patch 2 is coming soon too (i hope).

And Adam, dont pay attention to the minority, we know the patch goes through a ton of different tests and no one can guarantee a date, just sucks that it was held back. I think it wouldve been better ahd the 360 patch been held back, just makes people think the 360 gets special treatment.....

i agree that the complaining is pointless, it's always pointless.

No it isn't. We take the complaints seriously. That's how we learn and grow as a development team. Every year we criticize ourselves and take steps to improve that, but it isn't nearly as objective as customer feedback.

The only pointless stuff is the complaints that aren't posted.. ummm.. gracefully. At some point you just stop reading them. I've gotten good at checking the name on the post before reading it.

# 379 OkieTC @ 08/12/08 03:25 PM

Hey OMT, any chance of the patch 2day? No promises, just your thoughts.
