Madden 09 Quick Patch #2 Update From EA

09:51 PM - September 3, 2008 by Ian_Cummings

I'm back now and wanted to relay some news - we found and fixed the Franchise freezing issue that some have been seeing and decided to delay the patch a couple of days in order to get that in. Major thanks to this community ...a few folks here on OperationSports actually emailed me PS3 Franchise files which allowed us to track the issue down much more quickly. You guys rock - as always!

The patch is now at our internal quality control group, and then on to Sony and Microsoft by (we think) Friday.

We are still targeting about 2-3 weeks from now for the patch to drop, and of course I will keep you updated as things progress.

Forget about him. He's about to find the Madden Forums mysteriously missing from his forum menu.

Haha sweet, that was the clearest attempt of trolling i've seen on any forum.

Filly seems to be online, hopefully he has an update for us.

But i'm off to bed (12:30am here) hopefully I can wake up to some solid news

I don't blame you. When morons like that guy post crap like that, it's hard to resist.

So it's acceptable to throw the TOS out the window when you're dealing with a troll or are just the administrator of the site?

Just asking.

Good question. That was a clear personal attack.

All kidding aside, I think that, for the most part, we have been pretty patient with regards to this patch. I've been peeking here over the past 2 weeks but not posting and this thread hasn't ballooned until about 2 days ago. I think us natives are getting restless. Its like cabin fever, some of us have kept madden in the box and we're just dying to get 'goin! MLB 08 and NCAA 09 has kept me sane thus far, but my s*** is about to go bananas!!

Deep breath......moves on.

we should have info today.

If EA said that the game was going to be online only, I would have refused to pay full price for it. The patch is not a service to us. Its giving us what we have already paid for. Ive been patient (and will continue to be) but this is getting a little rediculous. I understand that the patch is in the hands of MS and Sony, so its not EA holding things up, but in all fairness, the game should never have shipped this way. Besides, what about the people who have bought the game, but have no access to the patch? I feel for those people because they will never be able to fully use the product they purchased.

I really hope we (at least) get some info today, Im ready to get my franchise going.

Amen brother I'd like to start my franchise too so hopefully we'll hear something today

I have been waiting to start my franchise, but I am not going to wait anymore. They said we shouldn't have to restart so i am going to take their word for it and get one going tomorrow morning.

As long as you go with unchanged rosters you should be fine. Any player you edit in any way, has to be edited again after the patch, to make improvement working.

Thats what Phil said in another thread. So, I guess I have to wait, because I applied a lot of changes to Update #3. So many, I didnt even remember all

Same boat. Downloaded rosters need edits, and any player you edit will need to be edited again after the patch. I really have no interest in that. Ive started a franchise with my friends (I rarely play alone in franchise) and the lock ups prevent us from getting very far. Saving the franchise and restarting my machine between each game (which is the work around they gave us) is not really an option when it takes 4 games to get through each week.

# 397 billsjunkie @ 09/19/08 01:47 PM

Virex just save your franchise after your done playing one game and then back out of franchise and go back in. You don't have to reboot your machine or totally shut Madden down. Never have I received a freeze.

# 398 dawitchdoctor @ 09/19/08 02:24 PM

this is getting ridiculous

Maybe I misunderstood when the workaround said "restart". I still have no desire to do even that 4 times just to pass one week. Thats assuming we can even get through a whole game. I replayed the first game week one 3 times before I got through it. Not to mention that the progression will still be screwed up. Not much of a franchise if you cant progress young players.

Ive learned my lesson. I will refrain from buying Madden and NCAA until patches are released that give us what we are paying for. Its kind of sad that both games were released requiring patches before they were actually playable.
