Perhaps if the patch had been prioritised, and the faults fixed, and then released the AFL pack, we might be in a better place at the minute. But I suppose delaying the AFL pack would have meant less of them sold, and a smaller dividend for the EA shareholder. Don't get me wrong, I think Ian and his team have done a good job this year, and I really think Madden 10 could be a great game, and no game is perfect, but we shouldn't still be waiting 3 months after the game was released.

I happen to agree with you, but I waited on Madden 08 till November to release their second patch and if I did it then, I'll need to do it again.

I will say that I agree with Spank. The patch needs to deliver.

Final wouldn't be that long. That's how long the whole process takes. I'd say we get it early next week. That's a tight window though, because if it misses that, it's a full other week since Thanksgiving is next week. But I still say Monday or Tuesday next week.

My bad, you are right.

It says approvals, not in 3rd party hands.

Early next week would be fairly accurate.

At least OS nation will be able to breathe easier knowing what stage the patch is in.

Well it sounds like it will be December for the next update(I hope its sooner). So I guess the saying goes, better late than never.
I love EA, they always come through

Why December?, it's in the approval stage. It could be early next week.

Good news. I guess I'll pick up a copy from Blockbuster next week in hopes we see it pre-Thanksgiving.
