You need to do a little more reading before you start getting yourself all worked up. Accelerated clock is being worked on for the patch.

It's not 100% sure that it's going to work from what I've read?

I have nothing to add to the topic at hand.

Re: Madden NFL 09 Preview

Does anything ever change? Get everyone amped up on yet another pre-release and then once again...don't deliver the goods. I havent wasted money on Madden in a number of years because of a very simple formula.

EA+Madden=CRAP

Why do people post stuff like this? I'm not harping on you specifically, I'm just wondering why people do it in general. It accomplishes nothing.

By the way, formulas can change.
Madden+Ian, Phil, Simon, etc.+Community Interaction=Madden change for the better.

'Nother update...just saw it all in game and working today! Coming along decently smooth, screen work included. It even does a little rapid clock countdown instead of just popping down in seconds.

Unfortunately, the engineer had it happening before play call instead of after play call...which in essence only gave you a 25 second play clock (which is not ideal obviously). He has to re-work that (simple fix) to move it after play call, and then start actually setting up the actual patch work for pushing out to the servers for testing and such...but just thought I'd let you guys know that things are coming along pretty well.

sounds as though its coming along just fine

Re: Madden NFL 09 Preview

Nice to hear some progress. Im digging this community involvement thing. This might have been asked (and if so, just ignore me) but this patched feature, will the patch include any other fixes? will they be added later?

Re: Madden NFL 09 Preview

This is nice that we're getting interaction with the developers but do we really have to wait till 2010 to get a respectable football game? a Football game that'll be better than NFL 2k5?

Man , I've about had it with waiting and waiting for EA to stop making a bad football game....

So '09 won't be a respectable football game? And why continue to wait?

Re: Madden NFL 09 Preview

I really hope madden 09 is a decent game because I love the nfl and need something to keep me busy till the real season starts . I just hope they made franchise a little more indepth and better than 08. Also does anyone know anything about this fantasy football thing you can do for 09 haven't heard much on it thanks.

wait...lemme get this straight. There is a patch for madden and it aint even out yet??? WUT?!?!? This is getting a little bit out of hand. Why don't they just finish the game first, then release it.

whats getting out of hand? All they are adding is an accelerated clock feature thus far because the community has begged for it. This patch has nothing to do, to my knowledge as of know, with gameplay.

I think its pretty cool that they are doing this, but hey, thats just me.

Re: Madden NFL 09 Preview

I love that people judge madden 09 even though it hasn't been released.


to arsenio, these games have deadlines. some things are prioritized, and the addition of patches has made it simple for devs to focus on other parts of the game with the hope that they can essentially finish the game later. it will provide us with higher quality games.

Re: Madden NFL 09 Preview

Are people actually complaining that EA is trying to patch something into the game that fans wanted? I understand frustration, impatience, and even the disgruntled attitude towards EA over the next gen disappointments thus far, I really do. I just don't understand the resistance to them trying to give us what we want. Then again I just remembered the standard reply: "Why do you need to patch something that should have been there already EA?" Oh well...
