I'm hoping more like the next couple of weeks.
If it doesn't come untill the end of October that would be 2 months after release... I don't think the first patch took that long last year.
I do hope it's soon, I decided not to buy it right away, I'm waiting for the patch before I plop down $60 again. And they better at least fix the repeating draft classes and freezing, plus hopefully the QB sim stats. Otherwise I'm not buying at all.
