Re: Rosters & Patches

I'm not knocking you guys, but who do you have test these games? That should have definitely been noticed before going gold.

Beat that dead horse.

Re: Rosters & Patches

Im also hearing some very noticible CPU ball carrier's running out of bounce way too often when there is much much room to run up field instead.

Its very noticible from what i've heard at various places on the net..Neogaf and a few podcasts.

THE DLC is a VERY VERY GOOD way to get out some added tweaks and stuff. I was on the verge last night aftrer i had typed out a rather large post that suggested this exact same idea of mine for you madden dev's to looking into.. the DLC as option for additional tweaks and options to the gamer...nice nice move guys.

Again, the CPU running out of bounce with lots of spare room up field to run sorta has me worried, plz look into this, thx

PS..anything on the muddy fields?..EDIT>>NM I missed it in the initial post

Dude did you read Phil's post.

Patch #2 Possibilities
Please understand this list is under construction and won't be finalized until we've received more feedback on the final game from the community.
1. Ghost Juking OOB fix - aka CPU players running out of bounds
2. CPU Accuracy tuning
3. Amplify the field degredation effect (the system is currently working but is hidden by some of our late added post effects)

Re: Madden 09 Roster & Patch Update

Love the ideas in the DLC... hoping it's free, though.

Re: Madden 09 Roster & Patch Update

Hey Phil,

Will there be a patch for a tv broadcast style camera view for cpu-vs-cpu? Since there is only one way of viewing. Hope this can be done, since alot of us like to watch, as well as play. Thanks phil and Ian!!!

Re: Rosters & Patches

Madden only used to be released here in Australia until mid September anyway, so I guess the wait isn't so bad.

I remember those days - spending the first 3 or 4 hours going through and renaming all the unsigned rookies when I got madden on its NZ release

Re: Madden 09 Roster & Patch Update

I am an NCAA guy. Just stopping in to say wow, thats some dedication. Good job.

What he said. Great job getting involved with OS Community and making improvements to '09. You just solidified a purchase from me. I'm looking forward to playing both games now this year.

Thanks again!

Re: Madden 09 Roster & Patch Update

Will we see any of these issues corrected on NCAA via another patch?

While we appreciate all of what you're doing for Madden, it doesn't do me well to know I have a nearly unplayable game in NCAA due to many of the same issues you are correcting in Madden.

please keep NCAA patch talk in the NCAA forums. There are now 2 guys over there answering questions. No need to bring up NCAA in here.

Re: Madden 09 Roster & Patch Update

Phil (and Ian). Thanks for the info. That is some really good news about both patch 1 and the possibility of DLC and patch 2. While we all would rather have the game come out clean, we can understand that need for tuning after release. Having not actually played the game, i'd say that is a pretty comprehensive list. The biggest features being the CPU sliders and ghost juking. Thanks for your continued effort.

Just to clarify, the possible DLC and patch 2, are those two separate things? I think September is definitely feasible and acceptable. Looking forward to the game. Thanks again

Re: Madden 09 Roster & Patch Update

Re: Madden 09 Roster & Patch Update

We want Multiple camera angles or User Adjustable Camera angles for the DLC. I'd hate to have to wait YET another year to get more than one REAL camera option.

Please give us multiple camera angles or a user adjustable camera angle with DLC. Without the restrictions on a patch you should be able to a lot of cool things with DLC and even add new gui options.

Re: Madden 09 Roster & Patch Update

I'm really glad to see they are working on patching stuff up. I also like the free DLC possibilities.

Much of that stuff should be in the game when it shipped, but I understand bugs pop up when you least expect it.

Anyway, that post has certainly eased some of my concerns.

My pre-order remains intact and I'm looking forward to next Tuesday!


Anyway - I wanna thank the EA-Tiburon guys for directly addressing our concerns.

Re: Madden 09 Roster & Patch Update

Great news, I canceled my pre-order and put all that money towards NHL 09, but I'll have to pick this up if and when all the patches go through. By then, I'm sure there will be plenty of used copies in the store do to people who are not aware of the upcoming patches.

Re: Madden 09 Roster & Patch Update

Does anyone realize what a huge departure this is for EA? Community interaction and updates! Awesome!

Please don't listen to those that bash the upcoming patch. Even if you add adjustable cameras and online jerseys, some people would never be happy.
