Madden 09 News Post

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.

Ian

Ha! If it is any consolation...(And since this has derailed to astonomy)...I think the Raiders have a chance to be decent this year and good next year as long as they keep kiffin...opening night was just opening night jitters for some young kids.

well seeing as how the Raiders just fired or are going to fire Kiffin today, those chances just went down the toilet.

Have you noticed any changes in penalty frequency with the slider set to 75?

maybe you have the American Collector's Edition like I have? Then you need to wait until the NTSC patch is out in order to get it.

Unfortunately, you may have to wait for another loss...or two.

I am hoping they don't fire Kiffin but I think its inevitable. It may not be today, but I seriously doubt that Kiffin is our coach at the end of the season.

Couple more things from me;

The 1 and only game I had was in pouring rain.

Didnt notice not 1 bit of field degradation or even jerseys getting dirty.

The CPU QB went for 2TD 2INT 10/25 passes.

Don't like the delay in the snap at all, 5 seconds minimum then random after that. I mean I counted and I waited 11 seconds for a frickin field goal - not cool.

I like how players no longer run out now though, big thumbs up to that.

Penalty slider do work, on default I had them on 100 because I followed someones sliders on here, I ended up having 6-7 penalties in the whole match between the 2 teams. Actually got 1 in the last second after a hail mary then got the FG to win the game haha.

Progression is better - still the issue between depth charts and player management screen though..

Like in player management after 1 season Sidney Rice went up to 86 OVR, Wade went down 1 and Allison went up 1. But in depth chart all of them went up and Berrian went up to 91, but was still 85 in the player management screen.

EDIT: Oh and I created a player and he did progress, so happy about that.

In your future franchise, are all of the teams rated 90+ overall? That always seemed to happen in previous Maddens and I hated it.

Don't mean to patronise you but was the rainy match played on turf or grass?

11 seconds for a FG? Now I was afraid of that. They should have just made it 5 seconds no matter what because 11 is too long.
 
# 577 pthr3e @ 09/22/08 09:48 PM
Does wind and rain affect how you throw the ball? It seems like i have the hardest time playing in those conditions

Ugh. This is saddening. Guess I expected too much.
