details?? weren't we already told what the patch would fix? wow, we'll get details next week, more than likely Friday, and then we'll be waiting another month for it.

That's very rare. I guess the worker didn't give a damn, because usually if you ask to return opened software, they say "absolutely not- exchange only".

Nice..thanks for the heads up. Cant wait for it!!

im still dig'n this game alot..had a blast last weekend with a bunch of my buddies over..some exciting games we had i must say. Game is solid, has issues, has bugs but its still FUN to play..to me thats the important thing.

Nevermind the sassy whiners around here..they are nothing but downers..plain and simple. They cant see the improvements made this year because they are too busy putting the game under the microscope instead of having fun with it...i'd hate to see what they really are like in real life circumstances geesh lol

Asking for perfection with a football game is nothing but a pipe dream but any patches that can help improve this game is greatly welcomed...

I don't understand how some people don't see the difference between "broken" and "don't like it".

The HDTV scenario in an earlier post was way off. The example given that TV was broken and inoperable. Bad comparison. The comparison would be if you got the TV home, it worked, but you just didn't like the picture, or some of the features didn't work how you liked them.

I realize software isn't something that can be returned. Software is something that can be rented and tried first though. If you feel you are constantly burned year after year why would you not rent it before you buy it? If you were hit by a car crossing the street 1, 2, 3 or more times wouldn't you start looking before you crossed? Would you blame the drivers for your lack of due dilligence if you got hit again without looking first?

My point is the game is not broken. It is playable and that is a fact that cannot be disputed. There may be a few discs that were defective, but they can be exchanged. Another fact is many people aren't playing the game because it doesn't suit their needs for one reason or another. I can respect that. I am one of the people holding off on some things myself. Stop saying the game is broken. The game actually works just fine, however that doesn't mean you have to like it.

I would love for the game to be 100% rock solid for my tastes when it ships, but it didn't happen. Maybe the patch will help that. If not I still enjoy the game as best I can and hope for competition down the road.

There is some serious irony in that post.

Its a good think I didnt buy previous NG additions because it seems like the animosity is deep around here.

Either way hopefully this makes the game alot better.

# 66 JayD @ 10/09/09 05:02 PM

Some of you people are ungrateful bastards! Yes the game was not perfect when it was released and will never be perfect but hell we could be stuck with the game as is. So be happy we get the chance to download fixes that mainly come from our comments about the problems in the game.

Same thing where I live.

Once you've bought it....you've bought it. Thats why now, if in doubt....rent it. Can't go wrong.

A lot of good point's in this post! If only more people thought like you, this forum would be a much better place.

All these people who are anti patch...I just want you to find me a perfect game that didnt need one..dont worry i'll wait.

# 70 chuckm1961 @ 10/09/09 05:19 PM

Sane folks (the ones who don't moan about everything).... remember, the non-sane will always find something to gripe about.

If it was the best game ever, they would gripe it could be better.

If it was not patched, they would gripe about that.

If it is patched, they will gripe about that.

They just like to gripe.

After all, the world is perfect.... why can't a videogame be perfect?

[this is called "sarcasm"]

I understand the place that patching has in any software programming. but for a piece of software that gets released every year (with minimal base programming changes I might add) to have to "patch" the kinds of things that Madden patches.....EA's developers should just be flat out embarrased with some of the things that don't work with this game (why does the clock not stop after i am tackled 10 yards out of bounds???!!!!!!) . and from a consumer perspective its a major disappointment.

Exactly. What about CPU receivers with zero sideline awareness? You can't catch the ball five yards out of bounds, chief. The issue is never addressed. What about the fact that the CPU QB snaps the ball too quickly? They patched this in one of last year's updates, only to have the same problem this year out of the box. If you fix something, fine. But keep it fixed. That's all I ask. When the same issues that are discussed ad nauseum on the boards keep coming up every year, people tend to get a bit frustrated.

The only patching they should be doing is to improve online play or things that improve the games performance (lag time/system slow down/loading errors). they SHOULD NOT still be making programming choices at this point in the game's life cycle.

Same could be said for every current major sports game release. This is hardly a Madden only issue, even though people seem to make it out as one.

The same could basically be said for any major video game this generation period.

Just about everyone is patching games... not just the team that makes Madden.

# 74 Von Dozier @ 10/09/09 05:52 PM

In other news, morons would prefer no patch because a game is supposed to be picture perfect out of the gate.

Spoilers: no game, in this day and age, is perfect. Get over it. Take the patch. Be thankful EA even gives a **** to do it in the first place.

I see what you saying...but you didnt answer my question...

# 76 Anti Honor @ 10/09/09 06:27 PM

I'll give the game another rental once the patch drops. Maybe ''adaptive ai'' will actually work this time around, and I might even........ lose a game to the CPU.

That's a big maybe the end of next week. It could be a month from now as well.

Also, basketball has 10 players on the court. Football has 22. A bit more complicated than hoops.

all depends on whats being patched.

# 79 jpdavis82 @ 10/09/09 09:22 PM

I haven't had a chance to play the game since the first patch was released. I don't know how the 1st patch was, but I hope this one is the one that adds the stadium specific sounds. EA did a great job in NBA Live 10 in this area, best crowd atmosphere in a sports game ever!

Because 2K has competition they have to go against, Madden does not
