Players simply dont tackle players by leaping horizontally across mid air up high on ball carriers....(well maybe in the the movies) Tone down the ROBO AI Passing pinpoint passing accuracy there's others...but fix these and thi game will be more enjoyable as it is now, I think NCAA Football is a better playing game of football, even if it's game engine isnt as advanced

Being able to slow the game down a little may be nice for some, the speed doesn't bother me, but it's too late for this year.

A roster update is a roster update you get when you go to online matches, then you have to save it. Roster update 2 is out. You have to have xbox live Gold or get it from here in the rosters section in xchange format. You have to have an xbox 360 xchange kit for that which can be found online. If you have a PS3, same thing except it is free.

Patch 2 is supposed to fix some problems with the game. Just read up and you will see what the problems are. You just have to be online to get it when you start the game. Silver is enough for patches. Patch 2 is not out yet as you can see from the grumbling here. Same for PS3

DLC is downloadable content that EA may put in the Xbox live Marketplace and PS3 store. It is "extra" stuff like getting CPU sliders back and accelerated clock to name a few. Supposedly it is up to Microsoft and Sony to allow the DLC for Madden 09. It is supposed to be free.

Hope this quick synopsis helps.

.....yea ok,I see you are completely clueless. Here's just a small sample of what I've been able to do using dialup....

1) Got both patches for NCAA,as well as downloaded rosters from the EA locker
2) Got the first Madden patch,as well as the 2 different roster updates
3) Got the patch for Bioshock

hi, i am an nfl fan from australia. Ive watched the NFl and played Madden for years. Love the whole series.This years madden, i really like, i understand people have a lot of problems with the game,and i know they are there too , however, i still feel the game is very enjoyable to me. However.....The only thing i really want more than anything, is the accellerated clock, i love to play sim style football as well as the game can be played, and the only thing that is really stopping me is there is too many plays.from both sides.......I hear everyone talking about the patch #2 theyre waiting for....id also like that, but for me its not a necessity, but accellerated clock is. I hope this is somewhere on the cards,b4 NBA 2k9 otherwise, i might have to put it on the shelve and wait till next years edition again.

If I edit players, and create players do I have to start over once the patch is released. My apologies if this has been asked and answered already someplace within these 17 pages. Thanks in advance for anyone that replies!

Have a great day!

I'm wondering the same thing. I've edited lots of player's numbers and helmets/facemasks etc. Do I need to start over when the patch is installed or will those edited players progress even if I'm halfway through the season...??

Please anyone who REALLY knows reply!!

I always feel bad exiting and leaving my opponent thinking I just quit for no reason.

I see what you mean. I have to pretend that I am going to play somebody and then basically quit when they are doing the coin toss? If so, they really need a better way of doing this and I agree there should just be a section in the online menu for "roster updates". Thanks for the info though.

No before you even go into the game it will have you update the rosters. Its not hard at all and its fine the way there doing it. Its painless.
