Nope...

I'm considering quitting my smoking habit... would you suggest the Madden 1.02 patch, the 50th Anniversary Patch, or Nicoderm CQ?

I hope it's not a situation like last year where a malfunction occurred, and 360 users had to wait an additional week .

DONT YOU SAY THAT!!!

I'm sure patch adams could cure your smoking habit. Also has the ps3 cutscenes been improved. Before, the game looked really low res on replays especially when zoomed out a bit.

It's not in his hands anymore, it's in MS hands.

Is this going to fix the online defense/broken tackles?!

Re: Madden NFL 11 Patch 1.02 Available, Strategy Pad and Madden Moments Live

Yeah, i still can`t download a ... It´s so sad EA!

"Note: PS3 users will automatically update if they are signed online. Xbox 360 users will also automatically update, but will need to download the Madden Moments LIVE DLC separately (it’s a free download you can find in the Xbox 360 menu under “game content”)"

Have i missed something..i don´t have the "Breast Cancer Awareness Game" under Play Now, so what is he talking about???

Re: Madden NFL 11 Patch 1.02 Available, Strategy Pad and Madden Moments Live

Meh... there are advantages and disadvantages to each platform when it comes to patches.

* PS3 will come out when they say it will come out. Always a Tuesday, you'll know ahead of time.

* Xbox 360, you never know, but on the other hand, it usually drops before the PS3. They just don't tell you when its coming.

Whenever one comes before the other, the owners of the late ones always cry that their system always gets screwed. I think we both get screwed fairly equally

XBox 360 owners get full replays.

PS3 owners get... MLB The Show.

And now we know why I switched to PS3

I see one of the descriptions is "Numerous improvements to player models and uniforms" Can anyone confirm whether or not this includes dirty jerseys? Thanks!

Well, I played an existing franchise game (Cowboys vs. Panthers) in the rain. In the second half, it certainly looked like the unis were dirty, but I didn't notice a player's uniform getting dirty when they got tackled, or hit the ground.


Also, since someone asked earlier: no 50th anniversary patch for Cowboys in franchise or exhibition.
