PS3 Update Status as well as the Second Update forthcoming

Re: PS3 Update Status as well as the Second Update forthcoming

That's fine and all, but this isn't the thread to do it.

Don't like the way the game industry is headed? There's the Entertainment and Tech. forum, and the Console forum.

But for those that just want the updated information, they shouldn't have to rife through personal rants to read up on what others think of this update. In fact, we leave the threads open so others can get clarification on something if they would like. But to tell them to stop releasing broken games and that you're not beta testers? Has nothing to do with this thread and only derail the flow of conversation.

This strikes me as the perfect thread. We are discussing the PS3 Update Status. Plus I don't think the devs are checking the Entertainment and Tech forum. If you want your opinion heard it needs to be in a forum that will be looked at.

Thank you...that is exactly what I was thinking but we will all agree to disagree and let it alone before the thread gets too far off track. That guy responded directly to a post from one of the devs so this was the correct thread to state his opinion. Moving on.....

Great News. Thank you EA Folk.

You guys take some heat from time to time, but I give ya credit.

It is not.

If you want to discuss this further you can PM me. But stop that discussion in this thread. It's off topic, whether you think it is or not.

Regarding the second update that will be released for both PS3/360 to address issues that were found in the first update we are in the process of submitting the update and once we get a date for the release of that update I will be sure to inform all of you about it.

^ Too bad we can't just wait for the second patch... lol.

Patches to fix patches ... We've hit an all time low ... This happened with Fight Night also ... And Madden's shelved until they clean up the gameplay in a patch ... This industry is becoming subpar.

To be honest that guy's post was really not bad and he told the truth. He didnt spam the board or use any foul language. I understand the developers dont want to be bashed but at the same time the consumer should be allowed to express civilized frustration. I feel his frustration 100%. You go out and pay $60 for a game and after a while it becomes a frisbee while you wait on a patch. Live was my fill in while I waited on the Madden patch and now both are on the shelf. As a consumer you get frustrated and I think thats all the guy was expressing. As far as the EA guys, much respect for coming back and giving the update.

Agree 100%. All the guy did was tell the truth. Insulting the guy by telling him to "show some restraint in his purchases from now on" was uncalled for. I too share his frustration and if I knew I would have to wait on a patch to fix the patch I would have shown "restraint" in my purchase but like the other guy I didn't have the benefit of hindsight

Your forums if you dont like it I guess I have no say over that. Just have to post on better forums and I wish EA would do the same.

And to defend myself on purchases I waited 2 weeks after release to buy NBA Live and I read 1000+ post about everything and watched over 100 mins of gameplay video. Read about the upcoming patch 1 and how it was fixing my only concern adding a post up button so I made the purchase. ididnt expect EA to destroy the game with the patch and make it unplayable.

I would have no problem with avoiding the patch if I could still get DNA updates which you can't.

You are overdoing it a bit dude...definitely not "unplayable"...I guess in your eyes it can be considered unplayable but not for most of us...don't play it then...

Re: PS3 Update Status as well as the Second Update forthcoming

I already posted I thought NBA Live 10 was fine from the box just needed a post up button and nothing else. I never said the patch made the game unplayable I dont even have the patch available to me yet. Im telling what Ive been reading on the 360 patch topic. With the patch making eveyrones game freeze and so on.

Im complaining about having to wait for patch #2 to come out to fix patch #1 which hasn't even come out for ps3 yet.

I dont want any patches. Im sick of patches. I think patches are the worst thing to happen to sport games. Just gives the company a excuse to release a broken game and fix it later.

Re: PS3 Update Status as well as the Second Update forthcoming

Can someone name a game that has a less then 1 year cycle that doesn't have issues that need patches?? Because the other games that have multi year cycles usually dont need patches because they have had plenty of time to get everything perfect, maybe lets have Live come out one year then 2k the next so we have a 2 year cycle for both, I think that will make people happy...

This is exactly what is happening.
Developers are pushing these games out fully aware that these games are HALF-BAKED and worry about fixing them at a later date and we suffer. It has become the norm. Heck EA said a patch was coming out for this game even before release date. I can only blame myself on this one.

For $60 plus I would much rather them hold off longer/hire more employees to get it fixed properly than to continue patching at a later date.

They are shooting themselves in the foot because with the economy the way it is and couple that with gamers being tired of faulty products every year, we will start to see gamers wait on what normally would have been a day 1 purchase too see what bugs may exist before buying in the future.

Ask yourself this. Would you have purchased Live 10 if you knew what you know now about the issues that exist? The same question should be asked about the other game as well because areas of that one are a mess too. A lot of the same issues that existed in years past are still there. Okay rant over!!!

No I would not have purchased. I had to make 2k a believer this year. I played 2k9 more than any other game but that online was so horrible you would think they would have had zero problems out the gate. I rented it, saw the same issues and did not buy it. If I do purchase it, it will be used from craigslist or ebay. I will not give my money directly to the company. I will start doing the same with Madden next year. I will give Live a pass because it played pretty good out the box. Only major problems I had was the force field on defense, the step back 3, and players dropping the ball too easily.
