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.

The CPU has had trouble running the ball for years now without slider tweaks. Then they get rid of CPU sliders, the only way to fix it properly. I guess I will just have to do the 2 controller fix until/if the DLC comes out. I just don't get EA sometimes.

Do we know anything new about the DLC release?

So is the patch out for the United States yet?

speak for yourself.. I love it.. if my qb is a 72 overall and he throws for 3,000 yards 20 td 10 ints. and wins the nfc or afc championship, I want him to shoot up.. its so stupid for my player to be winning defensive mvp and move up 0 to 1 points.. I want progression like crazy.. that's what the late round draft picks are for.. I don't like to get high priced players in my franchise.. I want to get those low round picks and make them good and trade them... I love that.. I hope I get rapid progression like that

Just lower your rush D to all 0s and the CPU will run better.

Any news on the Patch being ava in the U.S. yet?

You know it's gonna be patch day when 250-ish people are browsing (read: F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5) the Madden Forum.

Just come out in the dime every play and you can cover the pass and the run just fine. That is sad. Half of the game is broken.

Madden has been like that for a while now. Where have you been.

Don't know if u said this or not. 14 pts over 4 years? Or 1 year? Just curious. Thanks.

Well, it looks like I may be able to play some franchise mode before I've gotta go to class at 11:10 AM tonight.

Besides the fact that he was making a joke, check up on your modern physics. They are postulating alternate universes as a way to explain the infinitely small chance that life could exist. Solution: we live in the one of infinite universes where everything worked out okay.
