They (SCEA) has had to patch plenty of things and have not really released much info until patch is submitted. No different than EA. While I agree that they're products are superior, in the sense of this topic, it makes no difference, all these companies PR dept's control the flow of informaton and they all operate as if they're running nuclear secrets instead of creating video games for some reason.

they did, although I think we're really talking about the announced Sept. patch which came with zero details.

Haha. Yeah this is kind of ridiculous. Thankfully, this should be an easy one to patch up. Now I'm SUPER glad I didn't pay $25 to be a beta tester... er... I mean get the game early...lol. I'm fine with scooping it Monday night.

EA always finds ways to mess up Madden.

Fair enough, EA is such a polarizing company, fairly or unfairly, most feel they need to be more proactive and forthcoming. Something that they are not known for. But youre right, it is an industry issue.

HOW DOES THIS STUFF NOT GET NOTICED?? It takes people a couple hours to find problems like this on their own. Sometimes less.

Because I just asked a dev on twitter and he said he'd look into it. If he had an idea it was there he'd say, "Yeah, it's being patched".

I really feel like the Game Changers and people like Pasta Padre let us down on this stuff. I know most of us Franchise...I mean CCM, guys check 3-4 things first time we sit down: Progression, Roster moves (what can you do, what does the CPU do, trades/draft), stats, and CPU logic.

Progression is poorly done (as noted in the CCM past year 1 thread), jersey numbers duplicate, the CPU doesn't manage it's depth chart correctly, and draftees pics don't always match the in-game players race and hair style (see pics in "What needs to be patched" thread).

So I ask, how do so many hard core CCM/Franchise players miss stuff that us regular dudes find in a couple hours or less?

You really believe that's what he'd say, even though they've not released any official patch info?

Are you new to this business?
