After you download it (it's 80+ MB), everything should be there. http://plixi.com/p/53477129

then jeez man,
whats the use of this patch

i remember last year i stayed at patch 2 because the rest of the patches broke the game


i guess this year you're forced to stay at patch 1 with broken gameplay or stay at patch 3 and do the workaround

Just checked the 4.0 Title Update on the PS3 and everything appears to be there as it is suppose to be. But the XBox 360 4.0 Title Update is still not working correctly or or is bugged or whatever. Is there any word from EA about what is wrong with the 360 version? If anyone has any info it would be great. It's sorta wierd that there are posts or threads scattered between this postboard and the EA postboard with people are saying that the 360 version isn't working correctly but no "official" word or thread that it's "broken." Thanks. Later

The uniform updates are there for the PS3 - You need to select the actual "jersey" not the default Uniforms.
 
# 26 colkilla @ 10/28/10 09:17 PM
man, with all the crap ea gets as it is, this isn't gonna be good. a patch most people think is worthless anyway, and it doesn't work...
 
# 27 Cards77 @ 10/28/10 09:24 PM
What is Playmaker talking about? His sliders are absolutely aweful.
 
# 28 Palo20 @ 10/28/10 09:28 PM
Before I download the patch, does everyone have their franchises working?

And did any other random stuff get broken now?
 
# 29 bxgoods @ 10/28/10 09:44 PM
Tournament mode in MUT is really fun, its about time EA added this to Madden.
I've played the best games overall in tournie mode, people use more strategy than regular auto match. Really fun. It would be awesome if you win the Tournament if they do the superbowl celebration on the field.

Did anyone who does not see the new uniforms try that. Download the patch and then the rivals pack when you click on ultimate team. then restart the game and bingo
Ah ha! Sounds right. The last patch included Madden Moments Live for download in the XBL Dashboard, and in order for us to get Breast cancer Awareness mode u had to download MML from the dashboard first. Thanks for the tip. Happy Madden peeps again...Maybe. Later

Ian responded w/ an update for 360 users w/ jersey/uni issue.

Updated the OP.

My first online franchise game since downloading the patch and surprise, surprise it gets disconnected....
 
# 33 mm boost @ 10/29/10 08:25 AM
so no fix for the intros to game in franchise?
 
# 34 K_GUN @ 10/29/10 08:58 AM
FWIW...i got gameplanning to work (sort of)

assign your CPU their respective gameplans and begin game (as if u are going to be the CPU desired team)


once game starts go to controller select and take control over your team.....the CPU gameplans will stick

have fun!

Yep, been doing this the entire time since the bug hit. You only miss the opening kickoff as the team you want to play as.

more than half our leagues' online franchise games are getting disconnected, most are started and played 2-4 times...which appears to be worse than before.
 
# 37 jvaccaro @ 10/29/10 09:52 AM
before the patch I couldn't complete a single online franchise game. Since it came out, I'm 1 for 1 so far, so I'm happy...

This is encouraging.. Was the game laggy @ all? This seems to be the biggest issue I have. Thanks

Just out of curiosity but how do people know this is a bug? I've seen lots of post that there are supposedly more intros then the QB one, but has someone at EA ever claimed this? If so could someone link to it.

I have a hard time believing if they spent all the time and art assets to make more intros then the QB comparison ones and they weren't showing that they wouldn't fix that in 4 patches.

I wouldn't know where to begin finding a link, but I too remember them saying a LOT about individual storylines relating to specific QB matchups and them following it throughout the game. However, I'm unsure if it was omitted at the last second or a bug in the games coding. Gus does say in Madden that
they'll be following the story as the game goes on, but nothing is ever said.

If it helps, I remember it was around the same time they were showing off Gus as the new announcer of Madden.
