How in the world could they let this slide. Just unbelievable.

I haven't bought Madden yet but plan on picking it up tomorrow. Should I hold off to see if this problem gets fixed or EA admits the problem and then sends a new shipment with working draft classes? Any input would help.

I am holding off to see what the helpdesk says tommorow.....I am hoping and preying it was a screw up with the first batch.

I guess as of now no Madden for me tomorrow

. Just gonna have to be patient with NCAA till someone figures this problem out.

Speaking of problems....did you have trouble scheduling the LSU-VT rematch in Baton Rouge for the 2004 season in your dynasty? The CPU would not let me schedule VT until I went and scheduled the team VT was supposed to play the first week, and then it brought up an open date. It took me a few to figure it out because not one of the non-locked weeks would let me schedule VT. BTW...we got our revenge 31-21

I'm actually still in year 1 of my VT dynasty.

I don't see how they can screw up things they got right last year. Last year in NCAA the BIG 12 schedule rotation was correct. This year it does not rotate. Also if it is something that is wrong with the game do you really think they will make a new batch of games that have fixed the problem. If it really is a problem chances are it won't get fixed, patched, ect.

By getting the PS2 version your only going to make them screw over xbox users more. If more and more people buy the PS2 version you will continue to see bugs in the xbox version that are not in the PS2 version because EA will spend more time and effort on the PS2 version. I say if you are really pissed off as I am just get ESPN NFL Football or at least give it a try. I was a Madden player my whole life until last year when I bought 2003 and it was almost exactly the same as the last 2. NFL 2k3 was annoying at first but that is because it has a steeper learning curve. Now I'll just get ESPN to go along with my NCAA 2004 that way I will have the best of both worlds. Madden is practicly a copy of NCAA anyway. I was going to pick up Madden this year so I could import my players from NCAA but after reading all the posts I think I changed my mind unless someone can figure something out. So far it doesn't look good though. Usually there are a few people that can get something to work but I have not seen any in this case.

Excellent post. If you own an XBox and are upset that they didn't allow the importing of draft classes from NCAA... don't simply buy the PS2 version. Well, unless you don't care about how EA perceives the XBox.

Then their logic would be " Hey, we put an error-filled, half-assed game on the market, and they're still dumb enough to buy it. Why the hell should we pay more attention to the Xbox versions, because in the end they'll still buy it no matter what we do or don't do in the game. " Works both ways. Notice the dilema?

BigDofBA · 08-12-2003, 04:20 AM

You missed my entire point. My point wasn't to just keep the xbox version it was to not buy either one. Instead try something new like ESPN NFL Football. Don't jsut settle for the PS2 version of Madden. If you do that then EA will continue to focus more on the PS2 version and we will continue to see bugs in the xbox version.

No EA isn't this stupid. Why would they just keep making bug games. They are already probably in trouble.
