Re: Madden 09 Roster & Patch Update

Does anybody know if you have to have a gold membership on xbox live to get the roster updates? Or is it like the patches and all you need is a silver?

Re: Madden 09 Roster & Patch Update

No your right we should all be upset that EA cares(wow... felt weird saying that). Why shouldn't we be happy?

I'm tellin' ya... comments like these are just the most useless thing in the world. You had to post it didn't ya? To much positivity for you?!?

EA better care about quality, consumers pay $60+ on these games in a tough economic climate. If they keep this up the consumers are going to lose faith in the quality of the product and stop buying it or buy months after the release.

Please excuse my ignorance....

Roster updates only effect the on-line/Play now rosters...correct?

And do not effect franchise rosters, once you've started your franchise?

Roster updates definately effect the online play. Play now, you can use whatever rosters you want with play now. Even after uploading the rosters online, you can still use the original rosters in play now. Or you can make your own rosters.

But to answer your last question, whenever you start your franchise, your rosters will not be effected by any other roster files. If you choose to start your franchise over, you can then use whatever rosters you want to start it with, much like in play it now.

Thanks for the info Advisory.

Re: Madden 09 Roster & Patch Update

I'm growing tired of the poor people who don't have internet access smack. It is my opinion if you can afford to spend $300.00 to $400.00 on a gaming console and pay $60.00 per game you certainly can afford the monthly fee for internet service. If you can't maybe you should not be buying gaming consoles that were made with going on line and gaming with people all over the world as the main selling point.

can we give out an ahole of the year award on here? at least the quarter?

the term "JAGBAG" comes to mind.

No doubt.

His reasoning was so sound, too. (sarcasm)

Re: Madden 09 Roster & Patch Update

i'm going to take this as good news, so yippie overall.

my only question is this. with regards to the cpu sliders. that's not exactly a bug or a glitch, that's just something that was decided to be removed from the game.

the reason that they are going to try and make it available later as dlc i'm assuming is because since they came out with this news there has been a huge amount of backlash both on here and other places i am sure.

so maybe in the future they should just come on here a little bit earlier and discuss the ideas/features they are throwing around for the game, so they could've been warned way in advance that this would be a terrible idea.

am i missing something here?

Wow....amazing

I think it's a valid point, an internet connection is about the least expensive part of next gen gaming and I'm glad that companies are not catering to non internet users by giving the rest of us downloadable features and game fixes.

If you can afford a next gen console and the price of next gen games and an HDTV to enjoy the games on you should be able to get a decent internet connection.

And if you living in an area that does not have board band yet just about any phone carrier can service you with a cell phone that has a broadband data connect that you can tether with your router.

3. Amplify the field degredation effect (the system is currently working but is hidden by some of our late added post effects)

?

I REALLY do not understand this....

Re: Madden 09 Roster & Patch Update

$ is not the issue. It is still not good software development practice to release something you know is broken and rely on fixing it later.

Sure, some bugs that are deemed "minor" are shipped with the product but show stoppers (i.e. crashes) or regressions (i.e. things that worked in the last release but don't work in the new release) should always be fixed. Also, you should always try to fix things in areas that are most used/visible to the end user. And finally, if you add a new feature it should be as bug free as possible because nothing is worse then adding a cool feature that just doesn't work right.

Ideally you are correct. In the real world when a game like Madden is a yearly series with tight dealines that's just not going to happen.

If they can fix the game post release or add features post release they should.

I wish every game that was relased was perfect with no bugs or gameplay issues. That will never happen, at least now on consoles that problem can be solved.
