Re: Madden NFL 12 Title Update #2 Details Coming Soon

So does the patch itself come tomorrow on Friday? Or just the notes?

Dosnt the patch and notes usually come at the same time? Seems odd they are releasing the notes before the patch itself...

Oh no, NCAA notes came out like 6-8 weeks before the patch

What's the point of saying Details coming out soon and then not saying anything for 2 weeks? Why even come out and say anything? Just release the Details when they are available.

This is pretty ridiculous.

To me, it's better than saying nothing at all.

If people didn't hear that a patch announcement was coming soon, and the details just drop out of the clear blue sky, people would wonder why no one said anything earlier.

It's a catch 22. Darned if you do, darned if you don't.

It was only one week ago they tweeted about the patch.

But you're right.. announcements about announcements are pretty counter intuitive to begin with...

On these boards, true.

There'll always be some kid who will take time to wipe the Cheeto dust away from his pimply chin in his parents basement to bitch about what EA says/does. No matter what they do.

I can wait until Friday, because once I see the CPU completion % hasn't been addressed, I'm done with the game for another year.

EA should just take the Valve approach and say we're working on it it'll be ready when its ready people would still cry about it but a least there would be room for unforeseen set backs.

I think the Dev team probably was getting highly annoyed with people hitting them up on twitter and reading the forums about patch info. I do agree saying that we will hear something soon and then waiting another two weeks to divulge info is pretty stupid. At the same time they bring a lot of it on themselves with the Madden Podcasts which have very little to actually do with the game.

To me if your going to do a Madden podcast it should be about the game, talking about the community's concerns and things they could possibly fix/ tweak. Versus listening to them go on like they're sports analysts about fantasy football and all that other nonsense.

They are trying to use things like twitter and podcasts to reach out to the community, the problem is the content their putting out there has nothing to do with what the community cares about.

No it isn't.

When details about a patch come out for a video game the last thing you hear is "why didn't they say anything earlier." Why would someone be mad that they EA didn't make an announcement about a future patch details announcement.

I don't really care either way but let's not be ridiculous.

Screw details. We need a patch.

I don't care either way either, but letting people know there is a patch announcement coming up in the future is better than saying anything at all.

At least, people know there is a patch coming in the near future. You should know that the waiting game without hearing a peep for a long time for the NCAA patch was insufferable for a lot of people. It was total chaos for customer service at NCAA and rightly so. There was no communication whatsoever until people started bombarding EA with emails and phone calls and other tactics for the lack of communication.

At least for Madden it was announced, "patch details coming soon." Silence can be deadly as it was for NCAA.

Were you not in the NCAA forum before this last patch hit? There were thousand post threads about people bitching EA not answering them immediately.

Funny because on the SC2 boards, it's like "why isn't Blizzard saying anything about this or that."

Is not as ridiculous as you think, imo.
