Re: UPDATED: Madden NFL 13 Title Update Arrives in September, No Details Announced Ye

Unlike other games, Madden is the only football game out there. If we don't like COD we can play Battlefield or other shooter games. With Madden we have no other choice if we want to play a football game using NFL teams. Then there's the issue of getting so close but taking away things that weren't broke and only added to the value of the game (editing players this year). It seems like every year that make strides forward but don't pay attention to detail allowing stupid mistakes that take away from the game. If they would fix these with patches there would be no worries but they don't patch all major issues.

Don't all anticipated releases come with a need to be patched routinely? Why do we continue to attack Madden when others get a pass?

Of most games I've played, Madden is routinely and by far in the worst shape each year at release.

You make a fair point re: Madden being the only NFL release though is that enough reason to crucify developers marking them differently to other developers if only because they own the market? The same blood, sweat and tears goes in to the Madden franchise regardless.

I don't pretend to not understand the frustrations of the majority here though I still believe it's a mass over reaction given again - the game's official release date is yet to tick over.

I wouldn't say it's a mass over reaction, just disappointment and frustration at the loop that is madden. High hopes, being let down, hoping issues will be patched, let down once again, hoping next year is better, then repeat.

And when it does officially release many more will know its another year of waiting on patches, figuring out workarounds etc etc. I'm sure other stuff is gonna surface and just wait if there are bigger issues with online CC. Then their main audience is gonna start chirping....

In my opinion most of the things that people are complaining about, could probaly be easily fixed with the patch.

Not sure what games you're playing that need to have as many things patched as Madden does each year.

Our reliance on patches are another reason we need the exclusive licensing deals to disappear. Until competition is back, I don't envision a full/complete release of a bug-free Madden game. EA has the ability to sit back, use customers as QA, and then take their time with fixes.

The Blue Names are right here on this one. Every game that comes out has a patch associated with it to address something. And I don't know what you are all so mad about? I have had the same early release you all have and while I've had the some of the same problems they aren't that big of a deal. I believe the issues that are most important to keeping the game stable will be patched as well as some of the well known issues most of you are complaining about. And I also have no doubt that they will attack the problems rather than sitting back this time. It's all new territory for the most part wit the newest members of the dev team so and they have already made several tweets posts and what not saying they are going to support this game a lot better than the previous team. So sit back enjoy what works and play with the IE and have a little fun for a change with this game.It's going to be for sale tomorrow just most of us so wait till then to dive real deep into it.
