Don't mess with me man. I'll be up at that time too. I would literally jump out of my chair and go to walmart or wherever and pick that baby up.

I'm fairly certain if Madden was going to be released two days early, they wouldn't announce it over a small community podcast that very few people listen to.

It was great to hear Ian say that a lot of things were done by design to cater to the sim crowd more than the tourney crowd. Even more kudos Ian.

This isn't the announcement..but Ian is on there now and he said they will NOT be taking accelerated clock out of online play. They will change to 7 minute quarters but they are not removing accelerated clock. The reason behind this is that Ian was sick of seeing people have 30 seconds to make tons of adjustments. Good call. I always hated that too. You should have enough time to make an adjustment or two, but not enough time to reassign every damn player on your side of the ball.

Also not the announcement..Ian said there will be no patch on launch day. More likely around a month after release. Apparently they only get two patches for free from MS, so they are trying to stretch it out a little further to catch more stuff.

Just trying to keep those updated who are not able to listen...

Ian also just said there will not be a day1 patch, and that they will wait to put out a first patch. 3 options left

1)release early
2)iphone app
3)online franchise website released


OR, it is nothing useful at all.

Thanks for those who are providing us with the updates! I was really hoping for a day 1 patch to fix the replay issue though, but oh well.
