A Madden Patch vs a 2k Patch

[TELFONROCK5]

We all bash madden(And rightfully so it’s a terrible game compared to 2k) but with Madden at-least they address bugs and glitches.

They have multiple bugs fixes for franchise mode but with 2k we’re lucky to get at-least one bug fix for MYNBA maybe 2 if we’re lucky.

This was patch 1 for Next Gen 2k22



That’s it that’s the whole patch note

With this “SEASONS” thing we get a new patch every 40 days so why can’t they fix alot of these bugs in 40 days? We give them support tickets that doesn’t solve anything.

I know nothing about programming and coding maybe that’s the issue?

The Bugs and Glitches thread has had some of the same bugs and glitches dating back to 2k16.

Here’s madden 23’s first patch notes:


And that’s not even the full note(It’s a lot more trust me)

But EA did all that in less time 2k will in 40 days until season 2.

-The black sock glitch for custom teams is still in(a bug since 2k19)

-Last Name lettering on custom jerseys is still small even at max size settings(a Bug since it was introduced)

-Number Coloring is also off for Custom Jerseys

-Euro stash is bugged out

-Mentorship is still bugged out

-Invisible Jerseys after you choose to rebrand with a current Nba team is still in.

-Custom Arenas are still bugged out

-Position Locked Award Overrides(Personal Irk of Mine)

-No Warmups for Custom or Past Era teams(In the Jordan Challenge tho)

-Buggy Camera Angle Trophy celebrations for the 90s and 80s Era and for the Conference Finals trophy celebration(This was promoted in the MYNBA era’s video but is still bugged out)

-Some teams aren’t properly rebranding fully in era’s(Nuggets changed their logo but not jerseys in my save of the Kobe Era)

That’s just a little bit of the bugs we’re still experiencing imo the best mode in the game and I just want a fix for these issues


Deep down I know only one of these probably 2 if we’re lucky will be resolved and it shouldn’t be like that but Hey what can you do?

If 2K's franchise mode was as shallow as Madden's, you'd see far less bugs in the mode. The fact Madden has so many bugs to address in their game modes, which barely get expanded in each release, just shows what a complete piece of crap the series is.

Yeah seriously. Our Madden franchise had to be restarted several times this cycle because someone quit our league which made the team unfillable all year long (a glitch that's been in since last year).

This is a terrible take

Oh for sure but 2k should have address some of these legacy bugs we’ve been complaining about for years now.

Re: A Madden Patch vs a 2k Patch

Why are we comparing two different sport genres on two different companies? Madden and 2K are way different.

Of course they would address the bugs, their franchise isnt as deep lol

But I will say this, 2k does need to have a roundtable to discuss with supporters why things happen the way they do. For example, I always wondered why certain throwbacks aren't in the game.. turns out its not an oversight but there is something that is stopping them from adding it to the game.. not exactly sure what that thing is.. but it gave me a bit of understanding.

Also about the patch thing, there are some information about patches that I didn't even know that people discussed about how long it takes and all.. some of these things could def help us give understanding of the limits that 2k has in certain problems

Re: A Madden Patch vs a 2k Patch

Madden has a lot more issues than 2k.

This is like a BF 2042 patch vs a COD game.

Don't get me wrong, I do agree with you. I'm just impressed Tiburon has so many bugs to address with modes they never add anything to. I can overlook a lot of Visual Concepts flaws because of how expansive their modes are.

Re: A Madden Patch vs a 2k Patch

I remember when patches were few and far between.
Im happy that all the sports titles put out as many patches as they do.

Re: A Madden Patch vs a 2k Patch

Some will strongly disagree but I'd rather have a more basic frachise mode that works as you'd expect out of the box, instead of having all the tacked on features that result in more bugs and means less focus goes on foundational improvements like progression, draft generation, AI teambuilding logic, etc.

I've gotten more enjoyment from the franchise mode in Madden in recent years because I feel the draft classes aren't wonky and can be interesting in terms of realistic player archetypes, and the progression system is reasonable and mostly results in a balanced league, even if not perfect. Of course now that they're kind of listening to complaints online, I suspect that mode will become bloated as well and in my opinion they have already made scouting worse. Maybe it goes without saying, but I don't find a lot of menu hopping to be particularly enjoyable.

Yeah, I think most would disagree. I mean, the franchise mode in Madden 2005 was infinitely better than 23, and it worked quite well.

At least in NBA2K, you can choose how involved you want to be. You can make it as barebones as you want or as in depth as you want. I don't see how the Madden franchise mode is a better take here.

They're not wrong. I play both extensively. The things that really matter to a Franchise Mode EA does better. Player Progression and league balance after the first 2 years is heavily in EA's favor. Draft classes are way better in Madden.



Considering we are talking about the two poster child cases for "A roster update and nothing else", I think EA is getting undue hate here.

We will agree to disagree then. EA deserves all the hate they get. My opinion is that Madden's franchise mode is stuck in the Playstation One era.

And 2K has become King of Lootboxes with 99% of the focus put on the Arcade style modes.



Especially since 2K Franchise modes still give the illusion of depth. You can change the league sliders and adjustments all you want but it barely does anything. I'll happily take a far more nuanced and realistic player progression system over a half-baked RPG GM mode. Pointless "conversations" and a skill tree that just serves to gatekeep Trade Finder.

But since you'll get a million internet brownie points for saying "LOL EA SUX LOL" I don't expect much.

Hey, you enjoy regressed and half baked games. You do you bud.

I mean, we both play 2K, so I guess we're both idiots?


2K has only gone downhill over the last 15 years too. 2K8 is hundreds of times better than anything 2K has done in the last five years. Maybe one company having sole control over a sport is a bad thing.
