Two Weeks of Madden 09, and Official Patch News!

Great list, can we get multiply camera angles and that would be the icing on the cake

While I commend Ian and the EA team, I am left wondering how this game was released with so much wrong with it that, not one, but two patches are needed to make it playable.

The second patch is fixing 18 things that were wrong with this game at release, some that rendered the game unplayable.

Here's a crazy idea for EA: Release the game early to all of the hardcore Madden players on this forum and others, let them run the game through its paces, report the errors to you, fix them, THEN release the game to the masses.

Some people do not have internet access. How are they to play the fixed version of this game?

I know people would be complaining about a later release date, but the game was put out nearly a month before the season. Many gamers like myself wait until the NFL season starts anyway to begin a franchise. Why not wait and extra month, get knowledgable people testing the game -- obviously, EA does not have the proper testers or this game would not have been released to begin with -- and then let the masses have it.

It would save a lot of anguish -- and PS3 system destroyed by constant improper shut downs.

Just my two cents.

Still, I commend Ian and his team for paying attention to the forums and ironing out the bugs. It should make for a better game.

I just wonder why this stuff wasn't ironed out before the game was sold.

My guess is the "for 360" part referred only to the gamerpics, which as far as I know do not exist on PS3.

I hope you're right on this...

So even though the hook zone plays at the same depth as NCAA before they fixed it. You guys felt it was fine and there was no need to fix it in Madden.

Looks like I'll be trading Madden in for NCAA.

Well I can say that I'm very happy about the patch listings, I guess I will have to keep using my skill. CPU sliders would have put it over the top, but hey you get what you get I guess...


Thanks Ian and co.

Do you think that would really work. I didn''t get to read the entire patch list in full, but what did it fix to the Myskill, I saw a fix for the IQ thing, whats was it?

I get the unfortunate feeling inside that DLC isn't going to happen because of some hang-up between MS and EA on whether or not this should be free. MS will most likely want EA to charge for it, and then EA is in the situation of having to look greedy because they're going to charge for things that should be in the game from the beginning.

Having them patch all of that stuff AND release a free DLC pack with all of those additions sounds way too good to be true.
