until editing goes live or this drops to $30, I'm holding strong.

What's next? Use a patch so they can add more uniforms to a store?

Gameface...lmao.

hopefully.... this would definitely fall under stability...

I don't understand why EA has to bow to MS and Sony to get patches out... sounds like a broken process to me. If EA screws up a patch and breaks something it's not on either of them...

I'm saying I find it hard to believe they didn't know things like auto subs, accelerated clock and zoom camera were busted before going gold. 2 different arguments. IMO anyway. If the argument is they don't do a major game play patch until later so they can add more to it that's fine. Insinuating these things just got caught post release... yeah not buying that but that's just my opinion.

Yeah, I can't say for certain and don't have proof when they caught the above bugs, I'm just going off past history for fixing bugs once the game dropped.

It only took 1 game to see the poor safety play as well.

# 46 bigbob @ 09/10/12 05:03 PM

I see people still complaining about Fantasy Draft not being in the game. It was a broken last year anyways. Give them a year to actually make it right.

Onto the topic though, I hope the "stability" issue has something to do with the desync issues online.

This patch "news" and it's seemingly lack of core gameplay fixes wouldn't have been nearly as disappointing if EA hadn't of hyped up this September 11th release date.

Since the first patch is free from MSFT, they (EA) would be better off delaying the first patch a week and getting more in than rushing out a patch that features no noticeable improvements.

so does this mean we will be able to create a player and play as him in our connected careers as head coach?

They denied it existed at all. Hardly hyping it up. Someone leaked it, likely without permission.

I hope so. Its such a small thing, but I gamefaced my son into the game. It is hilarious (he is 8 months old) but the face looks like him.

Fair enough and I'm not meaning to seem like I am arguing with you just stating my opinion on the matter.

Honestly NHL is coming out so I can shelve this game for a few months.

I hate hockey, but I used to enjoy hockey games. The first game I got this gen turned me off. Has it gotten back to the level of ps2 yet? It has to be REALLY good for me to like it.

This is what i don't get, people are saying this is the best and that theres no problem... The game is a Beta mode right now cause if they need more time to investigate they obviously dint do their homework prior... I got screen locked again late last nite the server started acting up... yet on @EA timeline they are talking about with their fans go get the new MD game, its amazing, works so good you'll never stop playing it...try CCM , MUT, play now , or online... there PR people are trying to do damage control... but dont worry EA i still got to the 27th of Sept to go back to game stop for my store credit and trade this crappy RPG in for a more adult like game.

It's a frickin joke if CPU clock management hasn't been fixed!!! That ruins the Play Now feature, CCM offline and Online modes as well. I suppose the only people who don't care are those playing multi player.

How did the Game Changers not catch this in the first place??????

And who cares about game face updates!!!

Agreed. Now I know absolutely nothing about making video games, but if we can have two controllers on one profile in Play Now how is it impossible for us to do that in CCM? I can understand not having two profiles in CCM on the same console, but I just don't understand what the difference is between CCM and Play Now when it comes to on-field gameplay.

I'm glad to see they are looking into adding some form of editing for us. Since they didn't mention couch co-op I think it's safe to say we won't see it until M14 at the earliest.

# 57 Ge1dertron @ 09/10/12 05:17 PM

They have until tomorrow to get the patch in and make this game playable franchise football players who don't enjoy having to play online. By tomorrow afternoon, if they haven't, i'm all-in on NHL 13 and i'll be bad-mouthing Madden to everyone I know. I'm sick of half-baked games being sold at full price.

Never took it that way. I have 2k13 on the horizon.

I have the same ? what game did the Game Changers played? i mean did they get a to play a version of MD14 ? MD12

Can't really comment on the patch without knowing the details, "stability issues" is a very broad term. As for the gameface, that pretty low on most peoples lists of things that need to be fixed.

I still think we'll have to wait till mid November until this game is fully playable/enjoyable.
