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.

Guys the servers are down now so hopefully this means the PATCH nd the ROSTER UPDATE.

# 484 Houston @ 09/22/08 07:29 AM

The servers being down don't have anything to do with the release of the patch. EA releases the rosters, Microsoft releases the patch. EA controls their servers. Microsoft doesn't.

Sweet to hear about roster #4 being out

I'll get it in a couple of hours - and hopefully the patch.

Then i'll get couple hours to muck around with it before I go to bed.

Can't wait to test out the progression system

Crank your fumbles slider up.

Here is my theory on the patch; it won't be released until tomorrow morning. Yes this does suck; but I can wait until then. If he was waiting for confirmation on Friday night the patch was going to be released the next day; which was Saturday. So my best guess is that he will hear that the patch is ready and will go out the next business day; which is Tuesday. Just my guess.

CB, I'm hearing that Ryan went to a soft zone D after using man with blitzed all day. Is that what you heard/saw?

Phil stated in the thread Friday evening that both patches will probably be out late Monday evening/earl Tuesday morning.

This is because that is when MS/Sony load up the patches.

Your guess would be correct.

yes and today, Lane Kiffin has been/will be fired and Rob Ryan will be promoted.

The patch is out now - 1.20 and 26mb

I traded for Colt Brennan and after 3 seasons at the Vikings I got him to a 87

T Jackson went down to 76 after not playing much.

David Garrard went upto a 94 after winning a Superbowl.

Chester Taylor actually went upto a 92 after a couple of seasons.

Seen a few players go down by 1 OVR.

Still somewhat random but it is better than pre-patch that is for sure.

The patch? Do you mean roster update?

Same for me....

# 497 Jono078 @ 09/22/08 10:23 AM

No, the patch mate, I loaded the game up and it exited and downloaded.

It seems to be only available to Australia at the moment.

Couple more things..

Like how players no longer run out.

Not really liking the delay in the CPU taking the snap.

For me it's too long. Sometimes have to wait up to 10 seconds if not more.

I think someone is pulling our legs.. i'm in australia and don't get prompted for a patch, the roster update is out though.

edit: 360 or ps3 version?

# 499 oChaos_Nine @ 09/22/08 10:25 AM

I just loaded it up on PS3 and no prompt to download. I'm guessing you're playing on the PS3 since you can tell the size of the patch.

Quick question, why is it that when you update on the 360 it only takes a few seconds to d/l but longer on the PS3? Is there a size difference in the patch?

# 500 Jono078 @ 09/22/08 10:26 AM

Yeah, I got it on PS3.
