    I believe they did, but its only going to work on franchises started after patch. Those that froze before patch and have been saved and restarted will have the corrupted save file still. To my knowledge, there isn't a way for the patch to clean corrupted save files.

    This is my opinion/take on the situation.

        The freezing is fixed, you just need a new franchise file.

          even if the freezing hadn't affected me yet?

            I've had Madden since a couple days after it came out, and haven't even played it once. I am going to get the patches for Madden, & HC...and play them. I will sim through a season or 2 to see if I can make it without a freeze. Here's to hopin' my friends...

            And maybe this will clarify the deal as to whether or not you need to restart a franchise for the patch to stop the freezing deal...seeing as how I've not played the game at all. If by starting a new Franchise, **** doesn't freeze...we might be ok. I'm down on EA just as much as everyone else is lately, but I'm hoping that this year...maybe they fixed it. If not, I can't be too disappointed.


            And also, how do I check and see what patch version I got and etc. I never DLed the first one, and just want to make sure I get both the 1st, and 2nd patch.

              Just got done finishing my first season... doesn't look like there is veteren regression at all. Some guys go down here and there, but it seems completely at random. Fred Taylor just turned 33 and still has 93 speed, and no RB over the age of 30 lost ANY physical attributes. I'm pretty disappointed. Oh well, guess I'll just have to move on.
              Playing Madden for what it is, not what it used to be.
              If you continue seeking a Madden game with all of the options it had on XBox, you will be disappointed. If you accept that the next-gen version of Madden is a downgrade in every area except graphics, then you will find a true gaming experience.

                That I'm not sure of, I had 3 previous chises, and only one of them hadn't froze prior to the patch when training.

                But, I am in Week 5 now training 3 players a week and not one freeze yet, and I never had a problem with freezing in the game.

                  So your basically saying, if it froze in game for me in year one. I have to restart my Franchise back to 2008? So basically since it froze before the patch; I have to redo year one?

                    that would be my thinking.

                      I think freezing in the middle of games might be do to dirty discs more than bugs in the game.

                      It happed to me once after a 48 hour Madden binge.

                        Some of you guys are making to big a deal about this. Re-start your franchise to be sure and enjoy the game for what it is. A very solid football title.

                        Before you flame me for an EA fanboy I'm so far from that. This is the first Madden since 05 that I have actually enjoyed.

                            The DLC for Madden is, we hope, free, and includes accelerated clock, cpu sliders, a legacygen controller scheme, and some community specific gamerpics (I'm assuming OS/MM as well as EA Sports forums).

                            THIS is what I'm waiting for. The two patches are nice, but it's the DLC that'll make Madden for me this year.

                            I maybe a sucker, but I would pay for the cpu sliders. If I could get the cpu to avg consistently 3.8 to 4.8 yards a carry on the run I would be happy

                              Ok, I've simmed through 2 seasons in Franchise of Madden. No Freezes Yet. I imported draft classes from NCAA, but I didn't do any training or player movements on my own and such, was simply just simming. Getting ready to sim through season 3, and I will post when I am done.

                              So, thus far...no freezing in a NEW franchise, not exisiting.

                                Can I download the rosters without a gold membership? I know I can get the patch.
