Man that is absolutely awesome, I cant wait then I can start my franchise, I wonder though if they are still going to keep their schedule of roster updates every two weeks though. Also i know we can all just control 32 teams but has there been any attention to the FA signing and draft logic, or is that something that 2010 is going to shoot for?

Franchise Progression / Regression (or lack thereof): The lack of higher numbers was a tuning value that I think everyone agreed was just too low. This has been juiced up so you should see more realistic progression now.

Edited players don’t progress: Players were not progressing after their jersey number (or pretty much any other attribute) was edited. This has been fixed.

My virtual Colt Brennan thanks you and you've restored my faith in humanity.. well maybe in just my franchise but thank you!

1. "Franchise Progression / Regression (or lack thereof): The lack of higher numbers was a tuning value that I think everyone agreed was just too low. This has been juiced up so you should see more realistic progression now.
2. Edited players don’t progress: Players were not progressing after their jersey number (or pretty much any other attribute) was edited. This has been fixed."

Do I have to start a new franchise for these two things to take effect when the patch is released?

EDIT: Never mind. "As a side note, as of this moment there have been no changes to database schema, so you won’t have to re-start your Franchise or delete any files."

Cool! I don't have to restart my franchise. Good news...

Can't wait! Looking forward to starting my franchise. Thanks, Ian.

I don't even have a franchise started, I'd just like to know the answer.

I guess the big question would be, Ian is there anything on the patch list that will require people to restart their franchise in order for the "fix" to take effect?

Re: Two weeks of Madden 09, and OFFICIAL patch news!

Thanks for the heads up Ian! Great news. I wonder if when.if the CPU sliders are added, how will those work? Will they be adjusted in "My Skill" with the Madden IQ, or will they only change if we manually go in there and fix them?

On that same note, if we play on My Skill, is there any way to know what the sub sliders (reaction time, shed block) levels are? I want to go to custom so i can tweak a few thigns, but i dont know what level im at for the sub sliders, just the main ones.

Thanks for the good news. Let's hope that DLC gets approved.

Great News

Please do not forget about us that want Multiple Camera Angles or a user adjustable camera angle THIS YEAR. I'm enjoying this years game as far as gameplay goes for the first time in several years.

It would be a very beneficial thing for my enjoyment to be able to have different camera angles for my Franchise play. Please include this in the Sim DLC.

Re: Two Weeks of Madden 09, and Official Patch News!

So whats the deal with the DLC? You have to convince M$ and Sony to allow you to do it? I don't get it?

Re: Two Weeks of Madden 09, and Official Patch News!

I remember reading once MS were reluctant for developers to start using DLC's as patches in an attempt to establish more quality with retail builds and less flexability on fixing things that shouldn't be broken in retail games. I.e. it's a quality issue. At least I'm pretty sure MS have said this.

I think it should be ok though because acc clock, sliders etc are legit additions and not really a patch. Although how about this for an interesting outcome - what if Sony agrees, but MS rejects (or vice versa)? do EA refrain from releasing the pack entirely as not to piss off one userbase, or deliver the goods to the one userbase and not the other?
