Patch 1 and 2 Info

[J-Unit40]

Excellent news! After the Madden Forum Meltdown, I am a happy camper today.

The patch sounds like it will only make the game better. I am already having a good time with it, so I hope that just gets enhanced.

Thanks for the update OMT (and Taternuts ).

The update was meant for everyone but you J-Unit, you get none as a gator fan

You patched just about everything that made the game terrible, at least for me. You just made my gaming year, if of course, a difference is actually shown in the patch.

Thanks.

Yes, it (the patches) will be available for us Silver members. Just make sure you are online and put your game in when the patch is out, and it will ask you to update.

Because I've been able to take that away I'm also seeing the CPU throw more deep balls and I'm getting more sacks. Probably 3-5 a game. Maybe give it a shot.

That's the way I have always played, since that is what I have done for years, and that is what I am good at. That may be why I don't see the problems some people have mentioned concerning this.

Man, I am glad that they are fixing the CPU sliders and returns (hopefully PR which I think is the REAL problem one (not so much KR to me)). I can live with this game after this fix, even with its OL/DL flaw. In fact, I would go so far as to say I will really like it overall. It's not perfect of course, but with these fixes, it will be a pretty good game for me. I am still stewing over Madden 09 not having CPU sliders. Hopefully EA will be like OMT and the NCAA crew and listen to us, and respond to us (yes, I know they didn't address OL/DL play, but I think its "hard coded" into the game and has to do with the nano blitz problems of the past NCAA/Maddens. Maybe it is too complicated to fix for a patch.)

Will the two patches work during an already started dynasty, or will we have to start over for the patches to work?
