Looks like that's not the case though, not that I'm surprised. Seriously considering skipping next year. It'll be the first time, in... well, a long, long, long time. Probably 96 or so that I skip it. I just can't fathom playing a game again next year when we are 4 patches in to the game already, and its still not even close to functioning properly, or things that once worked, no longer work after being broken with a patch. My gaming time isn't what it used to be, As I've gotten older, more responsibilities pile up, so gaming time isn't at a premium anymore, but the quality of the gaming in that time is. While this year's game was by far the best in a long, long time for Madden, its still not on par with where it should be, especially when issues that were present right from the get go, still exist 4 patches in. I feel like my precious little gaming time, will be much better spent playing other titles in the future. Sad, but true really. Just really can't believe all of the outstanding issues that have been reported, still being ignored so they could update MUT. I get the reasons why... $$$ ... but come on... at what point do they realize people just may stop spending money on a half finished game every year. It's got to happen sooner or later.

i agree with you , im already gonna boycott madden next year . and wont buy another till they start stepping up and giving a good product. im so tired of bs like this. i mean they acted like they was doing so much for this madden, as i was already planing to boycott this madden until i heard they actually did something different for once. But now, here we are almost 4 months in and still doing patches, things still broke, some major things yet they spend their time on MUT. MUT does not account for half the sales. so its not just about fixing it cause it brings them the money. i never play that bs . never have . never will. But im dont wasting 60 bucks on madden for sure. might as well at least wait till dec and buy it at half price when some patches have ben put in place, so at least you dant have to feel like you wasted 60 bucks on trash. Im just fed up with madden now. Ill wait till the day someone else makes a football game. i dont care if they have to make it without the actual names of the nfl teams and players, just make up names, but use same basic player skills. Then maybe ill get back into it but not until then, i only wish more people would stick to this choice so that ea will start losing more money than they claim they already are.then we could have some real change.

While I absolutely love the game and still having fun in a online CCM, Im a bit disappointed that many glaring issues were not addressed with this patch.

ummm , im pretty sure MUT isnt what makes this game sale the most. go check out how many online leagues there are.and then find out how many players are in each one. the only reason there are still so many is its the only nfl game out there, not because the game is great. MUT coulda waited for some patches , as these patches dont seem to be game breakers like the salary cap glitch is to online leagues.

They've already got their money from those that bought the game for CCM. Trading it in or selling it doesn't hurt EA's bottom line much at this point. MUT is what continues to bring in money for them. MUT must be getting quite a bit of action for them to provide so much support for it.

It's a shame, but that's the way the cookie crumbles.

It's available for PS3, just downloaded it.

Figured they would at least patch the onside kick bug, we're still recovering almost 80% of them on offense unless you do the workaround.

Yeah you can,you have to press,then choose the player you would like to cover and then you have option to press,shade left or right etc...

This does not work on the PS3. You can select it via the menu, but it does not get carried out in play.

I have to say, this is the most realistic football game I've ever played. I know that isn't saying much but its the best we can get for now.

# 29 demon19000 @ 11/29/12 09:45 PM

Appalling patch

# 30 SickDL @ 11/29/12 10:27 PM

Does the patch change anything gameplay wise? Or only to mut.

# 31 bigdfan76 @ 11/29/12 11:43 PM

Does anybody over 12 years old even play MUT? No seriously. I can honestly say I have NEVER even opened the option on the menu, much less bought a pack. This is a joke right? 4 patches?! 13 weeks into the NFL season and you can't get wind direction right? What happened to tuners?! I don't think I will pr-eorder next year. In fact if I just buy Madden a year behind maybe I will get a "finished" product when I pop last years Madden in the old 360 and log into Xbox live. Then I can download the 4 patches that fix 50% of the game. Whatever.

# 32 kenlovin @ 11/30/12 12:51 AM

i have literally been checking this forum since release day hoping to read that this game was fixed and worth the buy. After reading the list for this patch i am extremely disappointed, but relieved that I held out. I am a small small part of the consumer base but i am glad that i made a statement, hopefully others will.

# 33 rootofalleli @ 11/30/12 04:44 AM

I turned on the PS3 and decided to give the game another shot. The patch came up and I was really excited. Then I read this thread. Now I just want to turn the PS3 back off. The Bills will win a Superbowl before EA releases a decently polished NFL game.

# 34 Dazraz @ 11/30/12 06:09 AM

I haven't downloaded the patch yet. Is the injury glitch still present, whereby injuries are reset if you change coaches?

From my testing so far it's not. I'm guessing there is more things fixed than it has been written, but people here are notorious for overreacting.

# 36 Ueauvan @ 11/30/12 11:12 AM

game freezing in depth chart during a game?

resetting injuries if you change sliders with existing injuries off?

salary cap glitch?

xp targets defaulting to pass heavy if you replace a current coach run heavy with a made coach regardless of scheme?

actually i think you'll find the patch solved virtually none of the important issues

# 37 thaone08 @ 11/30/12 11:38 AM

Not overreacting but Ea being the company it is have the money to send out at best 6 to 8 patches a year.

Things that need to be address would be the problems when looking at stats during connected career modes

1. Assisted Tackles show no stats at all.

2. When i look under defensive stats it don't know how many catches a defensive player have allowed when a QB throw to the player he was covering.

3. The salary cap glitch i hope been fixed since people been complaining about this for months now.

4. Existing injuries not working at all there players in real life that shouldn't be playing and that should show in Connected Careers for the ones who really want this feature.

5. Should be able to offer more then one year to a player when signing a free agent.

6. Game face fix the bald spots that some coaches seem to be having and give the options to add hats, glasses and other things instead of making every created coach the same.

7. Fix the sliders issue as well as in make it more noticeable that we see Offensive pass interference as well as defensive pass interference along with roughing the kicker.

8. Give us different goals when it come to coaches cause every new coach goal shouldn't be to make the playoffs or win 8 games.

9.Listen to us before you make a glitch cause as your customers we give ideas and things that need to fix that can help us enjoy the game and ya'll ignore the little things.

10. Last but not least make it so we can hire coordinators instead of just a coach. If you can't do it for this year then make it for next year. I am a jets fan so when i use Tony Dungy as my coach i would love to have Rex Ryan on my defense and to hire coaches that been fire to be on my staff.

Fix these 10 things and connected career mode will be better in a whole different way. Just ideas that should be in the game.

Try turning pre existing injuries on once ur in ccm settings after changing coaches, was gonna try this myself just haven't had a chance

# 39 prey2god @ 12/01/12 04:32 AM

This is comedy. What happened to EA saying they're "all about the customers this year" and how they were going to address our needs lol

They bring out this Madden Ultimate crap pack and leave out important issues like why the assisted tackles are not calculating again for what? 3 years in a row?

Falcons shotgun glitch? What? I don't get their approach to this recent patch.

Very subtle EA, telling the Madden team to do damage control just long enough for the hype to die down and get the consumer interested in Madden 14 around Super Bowl time am I right?

I'm away for a couple of weeks at the moment. If you get a chance to try this out I'd appreciate it if you could let me know if this works out. Thanks.
