If Sony was winning this console war, this wouldn't be a problem but Sony was so STUPID for their high price system in the beginning that no one really wanted to develop for it for fear of poor game sales. No offense, but it's time for developers to tell MS to get a blu-ray component for their system because it's not enough space to move forward.
    Now that Blu-Ray is so popular, you'd think the evolution would begin.
    My prediction is MS will eventually make a system that plays Blu-Ray and then will we be saying that Sony was so stupid

    Anyhoo, not trying to start a console war either.

    I Just want Madden/EA/Tiburon to live up to its not motto, " If its in the game, its in the game" and the newest one "Everything you see on Sundays".

      Tiburon (Ian in particular, if I'm not mistaken) have stated that it's not disk space, but rather system memory (AKA RAM) is the limiting factor in this generation. Both X360 and PS3 are severely lacking in memory.

        I just moved to Florida, relocating for work and had been stuck in a hotel for the last month, unable to do any gaming. However my fortunes have changed, and I will be getting Verizon FiOS installed Thursday. Anyone know anything about the second update?

          This is why the game we have now is lacking. It needs more memory in order to get everyting working correctly.

          They should have never went with this engine on these platforms, and just stood with last gen madden till they got everything right behind closed doors with the current engine.

          Ian admitted that he wished they never rushed with this engine and just waited till everything was right and stood with last gen engine till the time was right with the new engine.

            Both systems have hard drives so they need to use them. Just use the memory for the live stuff.
            I'm tired of hearing excuses. What year are we in. We can't have realistic animations on football game?

            Bottom line, If its in the game, it really needs to be in the game. Not just some slogan that they don't even live up to.

              All we have been told is it wont happen before November.

              Given the time frame patch 1 had getting certified, and the fact EA admits patch 2 isnt complete yet. I think we could easily be looking at late November if not early December.

                Not quite. I'd wager a large percent of 360 users who bought arcade/base systems still don't have HDDs. EA won't alienate those people if it means losing their money...even if a superior product is the result of it.

                  What all of you are failing to realize, is the problem has nothing to do with disc space, but the two system's internal memory (RAM).
                  So all of these arguments about Blu-ray making the game better are null.

                  With that said, I don't believe either system is to blame for the problems in the game, EA and development are. If EA would hire a second dev team to work on long term improvements, we would have a good game. I don't expect them to spend more money, but that would fix the problem.

                  I am upset with the dev team for telling us things were in the game,that never made it to the game, but I really don't think it is possible to fix this game with the small amount of time they have during a cycle, and the demands of the marketing dept. (back of the box)

                      I hope it's not late November or December, but they've done Madden patches in December before. That's really way too late. Season's almost over by December. For max results, second patch really should have been released by mid-October.

                        This is taking awhile....

                        My Madden is just collecting dust until patch 2 comes out. It just bothers me knowing all the Franchises I had set up are on hold or will have to be restarted whenever this patch comes out.I'm looking forward to the improvements, but it kinda sucks we will be more than halfway through the season by the time I'll be playing this game to its full potential.

                            I don't want to sound like a jerk, but this patch better VASTLY improve this game in many ways. I refuse to start a dynasty and then have a patch come out and make my sliders points. Don't get me wrong, taking time isn't a bad thing, but I am praying it's the Patch Of Patches. Waiting this long to play a game franchise-wise sucks.

                              That's not the problem. Xbox had a harddrive when PS2 never did. That never changed anything
