Re: Madden NFL 25 Title Update #2 Available Now (Xbox One, PS4)

Hey guys--I need some guidance/clarification about this patch.

I just got the PS4 and Madden today. Haven't opened either yet. But when I do--what do I need to do or don't do? I'm unclear--if I start the game and it asks me to download the patch, should I? And if I do and I don't like something about how it affects the game, is it easy to delete without any problems?

Thanks.

Here's what I did when I deleted and re-installed yesterday. After you pop up the game in and it lets you go into the game, at the main menu there should be a bar at the top left saying install progress. Once the game is fully installed (the update will be downloaded but not installed as soon as you start the game up, you install manually from your notifications bar) I close the game and then install the update, then go into game and everything is good.

Hmm...okay maybe because I'm coming from the PS3 where things worked a bit differently, but I'm a little confused.

So you're saying that on the PS4, I pop in the Madden disc. It takes me to the Madden menu. On that menu, I can't do anything in the game, because I have to download the game to the PS4 from my disc?

Or are you saying that from the main menu, the Madden patch gets downloaded?

And lastly, when you say you "close the game," are you saying that you simply close out of the Madden game but stay on the PS4 dashboard and install any updates? Or are you saying you turn the console off, turn it back on, and then go back into Madden where the patch can be installed?

Let me say that I do not know if this is the best way or if there even is a right way to do it, this is just what I did after I took these guys advice and re-installed the game and patch yesterday.

So, with M25 deleted from PS4, I pop the disc in and it does its deal and after a few seconds it lets you enter the game. When you enter the game, it will prompt you that an update is being downloaded and must be installed to enable network features. I ignore that and just continue to head into the main menu. The game will be installing from the disc to your HD and the progress bar will be on the top left corner of main menu in M25. The game lets you access some features as it installs, which many games do on PS4, you can play exhibitions and stuff as the rest of the game installs to pass the time. Anyway. I just sit on the main menu in M25 while it installs the game.

Once it finished, I hit the PS4 home button, click the options button and "close the application," taking me back to the PS4 menu system menu.

From there, I go into notifications, downloads, and click the M25 update to install it, afterward it should take you right into M25 automatically as long as the disc is still in the PS4.

Hope that makes sense.

Console stays on the whole time.

Hmm...so it sounds like maybe the patch is sort of woven into the actual Madden download or installation...?

Thanks JareBear--much appreciated!

Actually--one more quick thing, if you happen to know. Just thought of this, actually.

Let's say I do a franchise mode, and I'm a couple years in. And, for whatever reason (be it file corruption, space is needed, or maybe I want to delete a patch), I need to delete the downloaded and installed Madden game.

If I were to delete it, would that also in turn delete my saved franchise mode? Or are those two separate entities, and as long as I put my game disc back in my PS4, downloaded and installed the game update, I would be back in business like nothing ever happened?

Just got my ps4 up and running and madden installed, is this current patch the version 1.03? Looks like the update happened automatically? Works a little different than the ole ps3 eh

Edit- looks like my answer right there under my nose
Note to self, read further next time

Anyone know if EA is working on a third patch?

Sorry to ask a dumb question ... But I have all the Patches and have done No Deleting. The game seems Great.

Am I just being Foolish?


Thanks for your Help.

Here is an even bigger question....how in the world can I prevent the ps4 from updating madden. I don't want any patches as I think the game plays worlds better without the patches. Any clue....besides disabling network connection?

Nah man.

I didn't notice a difference when I first downloaded the patch. I only did the reinstall just out of habit.

Game plays the same to me.

For PS4...Go to settings--system--automatic downloads & uploads. You uncheck the box, back out and you're done.

I don't know a lot about the differences between the game with No Patches vs. Through Patch 1.03 -- That is why I asked.
