Madden NFL 10 Patch #2 Details Coming Next Week

[jpdavis82]

I haven't had a chance to play the game since the first patch was released. I don't know how the 1st patch was, but I hope this one is the one that adds the stadium specific sounds. EA did a great job in NBA Live 10 in this area, best crowd atmosphere in a sports game ever!

LOL you people crack me up so bad it hurts! first you complain how crappy the game is and when they try to attempt to fix the problem(s) you still complain.. GET over it geez if i was Ian and my customers acted like this i wouldn't even attempt to plead any of you people who want to continue to complain! now back to the real world thanks for the info, really lookin forward to this! Madden10 rocks!

Because 2K has competition they have to go against, Madden does not

I hope the moderation team takes that into account because I for one LOVE the dev interaction here. The intereaction here is like no other sports game I've ever played (outside of OOTP baseball).

Fine by me because it didnt seem to help much. Plus, in my personal opinion, community interaction should really not be needed. I can understand clarification but the developers were asking questions and feedback on parts of the game that they should know like the back of their hand. Or clarification on issues that can easily be answered by watching college football on saturdays, nfl on sundays or even going to a high school game on fridays. Some of you really need to open your eyes.

Who is ignorant enough to think there has ever been a perfect game released? I have not seen anyone on this board mention anything about a perfect game nor have I seen anyone requesting a perfect one.

Now there are plenty of games that are high quality that have very little GAMEPLAY issues but I know that your counter argument will be the development cycle so I will leave that alone.

All I will say is this, Madden 05 and Espn2k5 were stellar, critically acclaimed games both on the same cycle. Why don't you ask yourself how and why they were able to do it. Oh wait...

Extensive and thorough Beta testing could have solved at least 30% of these game play problems. I know that EA hosted a Community day for huge madden fans but that was a community DAY. Every problem, glitch, and hiccup that is in madden can't be found, exposed, and fixed in one day. EA should've put those men in some hotels and hosted a COMMUNITY WEEK (cough cough) month...)

Also, there hasn't been very much time space between these patches. How are we supposed to believe that EA has been able to collect ALL of the problems that were found in madden after the patch. It seems as though EA already has their patches ready to be shipped one after the other without taking into account the many problems that may have not been fixed before and after the patch and the problems that may have been found and/or created after the patch. These, in turn may create the need for ea to create more patches in order to keep some people from going crazy. EA could have just killed all of the birds with a shotgun instead of using that pistol.

P.S. Does anybody know if the patches that are applied to madden 10 slow down, in any way, the production of madden 11 in the future? The only reason I'm asking this is because it seems like Ian Cummings and Co. are still putting their focus into making the patches for madden perfect. Wouldn't that slow down the formulation of Madden 11 because less Dev Team may be working on Madden 11 and instead be working on the patches for Madden 10? Just a question...

Better to patch than not patch at all. My only beef with patches.....I have to re learn how to play the game.

I just hope that after this patch I can FINALLY start my franchise. I've been holding off to see if they fix some things and I'm just praying they adress the issues.
