Madden Release Day Patch

[BroMontana82]

I read on Pasta Padre's site that there will be a release day patch and Ian spoke about it. Does anyone have information about this? I wasn't really aware of a release day patch to be honest...


About halfway down...

I'd guarantee it, really. Between going gold and release day, there's going to be a fair amount of tweaking and fixing.

I'd be very surprised if it actually hit by release day.

But yes, a patch is needed for sure and that's just for the broken presentation pieces alone. I hope a lot of it was fixed before going gold, but I don't see how there could've been much time.

Please patch the player editing bug where you lose their draft information if you edit anything about a player! And it would also be nice if imported draft classes don't come in to Madden with scrawny arms and legs although they are a 225 lb running back.

From the demo, I hope they fix or tweaked how and when players break tackles,
even though Brandon Jacobs is big, I really don't see him breaking a 3 man tackle ..

i know people get upset that they have to release a patch on release day but i dont mind because at least theyre working on improving the game to make sure its as good as it can be.

This is not a problem for me because it does not happen often in Madden and same goes for real life. There are many instances though were guys have broken away from 3-4 guys in the NFL.

Heck, I wish they would add some play by play commentary during the halftime show highlights, like Ian mentioned that they would do in a patch after the game has been released, also how about some highlights during the extra point show in franchise( I know its a stretch), but hopefully he keeps with his word and add commentary during the halftime and end of game show.

Yes I don't like it and I'll tell you why. If I am not mistaken they are only allowed two patches per game. Using a patch on release day limits you to one additional patch and that may not be enough if there are several issues with a game.

I disagree with that sentiment. From going gold until now, they will find a ton of bugs. First impressions are huge, and getting those fixed from the get-go is important, IMO.

didnt know they only get 2 patches but if you figure they do one by release and then one maybe sept or oct that should be all you need. Anything after that they're already working on the next year's version.

You are right about the fact that they need to get going on next year's version. For some reason I was thinking there was still a major issue that couldn't be patched on 09 because they had already used both patches. Oh well, I still had fun and I'm still having fun with 09 so it's cool.

Re: Madden Release Day Patch

In the broadcast camera thread Ian mentioned that the first patch will focus primarily on online dynasty issues. He also mentioned that he was optimistic that a broadcast camera could be added either via a second patch or DLC with a target date of mid-September. That was about a week ago, give or take, that he posted in that thread.
