    Didn't an important EA devo. start this thread.

    but now I'll just sit back and wait

    You'd be surprised how much customer complaints will change how companies work.
    It's difficult at this time, though to know who to point the finger at, EA or MS/Sony.

    It's easier to point the finger at EA, isn't it?

      I dont believe this crap at all. Why does it take week after week for MS and Sony to approve patches but anytime they release downloadable stuff that we pay for it out asap? Does that make any since to anyone here?

        I'm sure there must be a certification process for arcade games as well. They don't want anything to crash their hardware. Would you?

          MS/Sony only certify the patch. It was EA who didnt test their game thoroughly while it was in production. Its EA whos after sales customer support is non existant. Its EA's fault their 1st patch caused even more faults (blocks on helmets, kick returns)
          Unfortunately we don't have any real option, and EA knows this. We either have Madden, or we don't have a football game. Madden could be the best yet, but this is getting beyond a joke.
          We are over half way through the season. If the patch was something they charged for ( like the add ons in the Madden Shop) it wouldve been out long ago.

            I am not talking about arcade games. AFL Legacy pack, All the add ons that were already on the game at launch. I did not see any long extended time for these features to be added in the madden store. Are these features any less likey to "crash hardware"

              You would think that, for a game that generates roughly $300 million every year ($60 x 5 million), they would have enough people on staff to do both (work on Madden 11 and the Madden 10 patch). This isn't some guys working on the game in their basement that we're talking about here, and I just don't know where the "if they're working on one thing, then they can't be working on the other" mentality comes from.

                  I just asked Ian for clarification on whether it is in MS/Sony hands or still with EA and being worked on. He usually always gets back to me, so I'll let you guys know if he responds.

                    I thought the AFL Legacy Patch came out with the first patch. Am I wrong?

                      I thought they already informed the public that it's currently in Sony/MS hands?

                        Thank you for proving my point. EA released the AFL pack, along with an unfinished patch (messed up uni's and overlay banners, easy kick returns)

                        Now were into week 10 of the season, and still waiting for fixes for faults that wouldnt be in the game if it had been thoroughly tested before release.

                        Perhaps if the patch had been prioritised, and the faults fixed, and then released the AFL pack, we might be in a better place at the minute. But I suppose delaying the AFL pack would have meant less of them sold, and a smaller dividend for the EA shareholder.

                        Don't get me wrong, I think Ian and his team have done a good job this year, and I really think Madden 10 could be a great game, and no game is perfect, but we shouldn't still be waiting 3 months after the game was released.

                          Well, the longer it takes the more will be expected of it. From what I saw on the patch list it really wasn't addressing a lot of the game's problems, just a handful of specific ones. Maybe they are trying to fix "all" of the issues, maybe not. I was going into the 2nd patch with pretty low expectations to be honest. But the longer it takes the more I think needs to deliver.

                              Sounds like it could be early next week.

                                I happen to agree with you, but I waited on Madden 08 till November to release their second patch and if I did it then, I'll need to do it again.

                                I will say that I agree with Spank. The patch needs to deliver.
