    We want to hold EA accountable and keep them aware that we're not thrilled with the way they've botched this product. This games #1 selling feature for me and many like me is totally ruined and needs patching, which hasn't come out yet. It's almost September. This is entirely unacceptable and I think I could go without people making excuses for EA.

    I fully get your point that a b*tchfest isn't the best thing ever but... what do you expect? Honestly? People lined up to get htis game, tried to get the game early thru almost any means necessary and waited for this game with baited breath for weeks; and we get this mess.

    So no sir I don't accept your post. Let the masses speak so long as it's not profanity riddled tirades.
    Honestly I don't care if you don't like what I have to say. BUT nothing anyone brings up here is original nor going to get anything done. Bobolini has it right. When you bought this version did you really think it was going to be everything you thought it was going to be. The saddest part is its pretty fun game in it's own right, and like I said not perfect, but it's not something I don't regret playing. I knew what I was getting into when I went to go buy this game.

      If it doesn't pass MS or Sony's watch....it could be awhile (although I don't anticipate that)

      Of course I'm just speculating as I have no expertise in this whole thing.
      Unfortunately, they have to thoroughly test the patch out to ensure that it will not crash your game and/or your system. It can be a frustrating process, but it is necessary and time consuming. I am not making excuses for anyone, but it is what it is when it comes to patching a game. In my best experiences it usually takes 2-3 weeks before a patch is certified by Microsoft.

      Also keep in mind that even the smallest of fixes can actually cause major issues. In other words, say you add a fix for a minor animation(for example), it is very possible that the animation, when triggered can cause 10 other issues to occur with some of them being major(ie game crashing). Last year the first patch resulted in another major glitch. Remember the pump-fake glitch?!?

      BTW, I am just as anxious as the rest of you to recieve these patches.... I assure you that it's not as cut and dry as it may seem. Now let's all hope that the new patch passes submission as soon as possible.

      The BLOG about the patch was released on August 2nd. At no time was it mentioned that this patch would cure the problems that are now ailing many dynasty participants. The dreaded "Transfer failed" or "Dynasty Servers not available." Now could these problems be fixed on their server. Maybe. But why the delay?

      If it's true (according to NCAAstrategies) that the patch is "finally" complete and has been submitted to Microsoft and Sony for approval... it could be another 2-3 weeks of waiting.

        So, How Long Do Sony And Microsoft’s Approvals Processes Take?

        So, How Long Do Sony And Microsoft’s Approvals Processes Take?

        You'll see it mentioned all the time when talk of game delays or patches comes up. "Oh, we're just waiting on the approvals process", or "we're just waiting for the patch to be certified, then we're good to go". Those kind of excuses/explanations sound great from the developers end, but to us? It's meaningless, because we have no idea how long those processes take. Or, we didn't. We have at least some idea now, thanks to the always-helpful "Ask Capcom" letters section the company runs every week.

        Capcom fanboy Ryu vs Ken asks "How long does the approval process usually take?". Seeing as he's asking about SSFIIHD, it's probable this explanation covers only downloadable games, but the answer is interesting nonetheless:


        Depends on the territory and the time of year/how busy the submissions team is. It also depends on territories.

        SCEA and MS can turn things around in 5-7 days most times. SCEE is closer to two weeks but they have a system where you can see the progress and bugs as they're testing (which means, you can anticipate your pass or fail and potentially be ready to have a resubmission ready to go when you fail). That said, you generally want to get reports from SCEA and SCEE, fix all issues and resubmit to both at the same time so it's not always such a benefit easy. SCAsia is a bit easier on the submission side as their evaluation focuses mostly on the material submisisons, not on code approval (provided you have code approval from SCEA or SCEE).

        See? Interesting! Now the next time someone says "oh, the game will be available as soon as it's been approved", you've got a rough idea of how long you've got to wait.

          Oh, so you knew u were getting a product that didnt work properly? Yet you still gladly plopped down sixty bucks anyway?

          That's your prerogative but I happen to think that's a bit crazy.

            No. I don't believe this game is a waste. I already said this. However I know how this process is going to be, anyone that's been here for an EA game over the course of the last few years shouldn't be shocked? All I was getting at is it's redundant complaining, I think people get worked up and miss the part about just playing a game. By the way I'm not personally attacking anyone so I don't want anyone to be offended, but if you look at most threads here its almost all the same.

              I'm jus messin man...it's been overstated how much fixing this game needs....while the majority of the posters on here won't buy the game, there will be people who will love this game no matter what

                Might be right now. :wink: My game just disconnected from XBL for an update!

                Update: I know the profanity filter check was in the title update. Tried to make my coach whos' last name was a "profane word". No dice.

                  Keep us posted, but there's been nothing on PSN and the servers are still up.

                  Wonder what a 4 MB patch would be...

                      This tread has nothing to do with detail of the upcoming patch. It has become a troll fest. I guess that's thewayitis, when it comes to EA. What blows my mind is when people say, "I will never buy NCAA 13.". Then they follow it up with, "I will never buy it on release day!" how to stick to your guns.

                      Some of the biggest EA haters on on the prowl to get Madden early. I don't get it. Do they want it early to complain about EA some more? If you don't like it, don't buy it!

                          Don't get your hopes up. I've now had to restart my console 4 times because every time I start my game in OD, I crash at the loading screen.

                          /time to go reset cache and junk again. I'm hoping the 4MB download was just when I reset the cache to alleviate my last set of crashes.

                              The quick update was caused when I reset my cache (just did it again). False alarm, I guess. Sorry to sound the alarm!

                              Edit: 7 crashes in a row now. Time to give up.
