That's quite the assumption you are making there.

Should've had that team fix franchise.

That would've been good. But I would've been happy if they put 'em to work on figuring out how to add in-game saves. Five (5) years is a long time to be waiting for this "feature."

Could not agree with you more, however hopefully you will not get banned for swearing.

Simply adding people is almost never the solution. Isn't Backbreaker's team like 6 guys with the assistance of other small groups for animation, engine tweaks, etc.? Award winning games like World of Goo can be made by 2 people...it's more important to hire efficient workers that care instead of people that half *** it for a paycheck.

Whoever worked on NBA Unrivaled, and I mean anyone that is credited, certainly falls under that negative category...

I like my franchises to continue on over at least five seasons, so If patches could take effect on existing franchises I would be spending much more time playing Madden, and much less time posting here ...

I got my copy of Madden 10 at the midnight launch in August. Today is November 15th and I still have not started my Franchise. I was in two online franchises but left them because the game is just unplayable to me with the settings we are forced to use in online franchise - no sliders, fight for the fumble is on, can't change tha game speed , and so on.

For now my copy on Madden 10 is sitting dormant and I will wait for the second patch, hopefully it will fix the game enough to make my purchase worth while.

As for Madden 11, I will not be buying it at launch. I'm going to wait it out next year until the game is playable before I even consider buying it.

Same here. I've been waiting since AUGUST to play the game. If franchises didn't need to be restarted I would have started my franchise long ago. Hell I would have started my franchise already if it hadn't been for the stats problem. After years of madden, how does something like stats get messed up anyway?
I also find it ridiculous anyone who says we are whining and complaining. We bought this game over 3 months ago and still are unable to play it the way it was meant to be, and promised it would be. How can any serious gamer play franchise with stats not working correctly? And even more ********, people who say "They released the game, they don't have to give us patches" Are you sh!tting me?
The complacency that goes on here is mind blowing.
