Two Weeks of Madden 09, and Official Patch News!

[ShaneFu]

Will customizable controller configs be a part of the DLC or are we just screwed?

A big part of the problem is this right here:

That tells us that if it went Gold back in June that they knew they were releasing an untested game and yet they just figured they would release it anyway and patch whatever issues surfaced (or as many as they could) after it released.

Could you imagine what would happen to the video gaming industry if EA had an exclusive deal with the military? Can you imagine if EA's first person shooters were the only ones on the market?

nevermind, I didn't skim the article well enough. Hope there is more than one "classic" configuration though.

Enough of the "But...but....MY FRANCHISE IS SCREWED!!" posts. They get it, ok? They are aware of all of that. And your constant pissing and moaning in this thread does nothing to remedy the situation. So just stop it. Use the thread to discuss the patch, what it will fix, what it won't, that's fine. But enough of the complaining. It's trolling, which is not allowed by our forum rules, and each offending post will be dealt with accordingly.

TJ,

I have seen you post about being upset about your franchise freezing. I believe everyone should be able to say what they think should have been and what was addressed in the patch. That is the topic of this post.

Furthermore, I do not think the tone of everyone's post were pissing and moaning. I think some people are trying to say hey good job on this patch but we still need to fix a few more things and a major issue in the franchise mode. Also, it really would have been nice to have everything working on the CD and if not we kind of expect it to be fixed before moving on to 2010.

Lastly, we need to discuss the problems if we are going to get them fixed. The squeeky wheel gets the greese.

I do agree with you that some people may post in a rather immature manner but sometimes you just loose your cool.

We need to discuss the good and the bad if the game and EA are going to progress. And if we can't discuss the bad then all you will have is a long post, way to go!, that a boy!, etc.

Just my thoughts man.

Yeah, it'd be horrible since there's only one military in the world. Get an exclusive deal with that and we'd be playing really bad shooters for the rest of eternity.

It's a real high stress job leading that military, though. You gotta plan all these wars (military vs random bad guys with beards) AND worry about EA destroying our FPS games.

Hope no deal is coming!

About sliders in general and specifically the upcoming CPU sliders... If a scale of 0 to 100 is used shouldn't 50 be where the players play exactly to their attributes then as the slider is lowered they play a bit worse or if it is raised the play a bit above their abilities?

[stux]

Ian, do you think it is possible to add inury sliders to the DLC?

I would pay a few bucks for that!

I never seem to get more then one or two major injuries a year. But I guess I have only simmed into second season once and played into mid of the first.

Well my little guy is sleeping I am going to sim a few seasons and see how everything goes.

I also think it is sad that even after the 2nd patch franchise mode won't work right for the people who are crashing. I am not sure with the crashing if that is related to modified rosters or NCAA draft classes. I hope a "work around" if available soon for that if the patch won't be. I know those of you that only play online or with friend do not care about the franchise patch but there are a lot of us that buy the game only to play franchise mode vs CPU. I do not think it is fair of you to say we can't speak out minds.

I also agree, and its not just about fixing Madden 09.. its also about identifying how this can happen in the first place, and making sure it does not happen again.

There are some tough questions we should be able to ask Ian, and EA needs to be accountable for the product they put out.

That is all I am saying.. I am not trying to start any trouble here.
