Re: Madden 09 Quick Patch #2 Update From EA

maybe because before this thread was listed, we all thought it was already in Sony/MS hands. Now we have to wait longer.

You have to wait a week longer. Just a week.

Ian said it was going to be sent off on Aug 27th. A week ago and one of those days was a holiday.

Re: Quick patch 2 update from EA

If you've done any player editing at all (even just jersey numbers), you're going to want to restart your franchise anyway once the new patch is released. They fixed the problematic (non-existent) progression for any players who have been edited.

That, alone, is reason enough for me to restart. I don't edit player ratings or anything, only jersey numbers. Can't very well have someone wearing #12 or #78 on my Buffalo Bills, lol.

I thought Ian said that there were no database changes made, so there was NO NEED tp restart franchises, and that the patch would correct those, too

I guess your right, but I'm sorry I'm a little inpatient right now, I just want to be able to play MY $65 game I paid for almost a month ago.

What about the DLC? The game is worthless to me without CPU sliders

Re: Madden 09 Quick Patch #2 Update From EA

Maybe my calendar skills suck but Ian said the patch would be submitted tomorrow Sept. 5 and he said MS/Sony would take 2-3 weeks. That means at the earliest we would get the patch Sept 19th and the latest we will get it is the 26th. I dont know where you got the first week of Oct.

He said he thinks it will be submitted tomorrow, which for me means sometime next week. Then add 2-3 weeks, with for me 3 weeks being realistic for Microsoft & Sony. That for me means 1st week in Oct.

Again this is just my analyze of what Ian posted

Sep. 26th vs. first week in October. Not a big difference. A one week delay is very possible especially with EA/MS/Sony.

Look what happened with NCAA.

So, for someone to say, patch first week of Oct., it's definitely reasonable.

Thanks for the news/update Ian.

Re: Quick patch 2 update from EA

Thanks for the update Ian.

I said in an earlier post way back when the DLC was announced that I did not think we would ever see it. Why wasn't it mentioned in Ian's post?? This is a classic EA move. They will say "well, Microsoft said no". They never had any intention of doing the DLC. It was just lip service.

Prove me wrong Ian.

Might want to rephrase a bit. Thanks.....

If he does, will you promise to go away and never return?

Re: Madden 09 Quick Patch #2 Update From EA

Thanks for the update.

A few questions. They've been asked already, but I've yet to see an answer so I'll ask again.

1. What did you find caused the franchise freezing? Is it just a bug? Is there something we can do pre-patch to avoid freezing?

2. With the patch now fixing the freezing issue, will it still work on existing franchises?

I don't particularly want to start a new franchise. I did no player editing, so I'm fine with playing while I wait for the patch, provided my franchise won't freeze.

Thanks again.

If MS does in fact say NO to the free DLC, it would be a great move on Sony's part to allow it to try to help bring gamers over to the ps3.

Let me help you brotha, because your original wording is a bit 'combative', even if unintentional.

That's the kind of stuff mods are trying to eliminate.

You CAN voice your opinion, even if its not glowing about EA. However, you have to keep it civil just as you would in a business setting. It's not that hard.

Here's what you could have said:

"When I first heard about DLC I thought it was a great idea. At the same time, I was was a little skeptical. I was hoping it wasn't just a hyped feature that would never be made available.

So, when I didn't see mention of it in Ian's post I got a little nervous. Ian, do you feel we are still on track to get the DLC?"

Same thought, different wording. Hope this helps you in the future.

We are fortunate that both SCEA and EA people post here, answer questions here, and take suggestions here. I, for one, want to keep these guys here. They will answer the tough questions as long as we act professional.
