If Madden had been released already EA would not have resonded so quickly if at all. Since they don't already have their initial 500,000 to 1,000,000 unit sales they are in full damage control mode and doing whatever they can to ensure their big payday on Aug. 22. This is not about EA making it's customers happy, it's about the bottom line.

This is the first time in my memory where a HUGE gamekiller (for many people) was found in Madden before launch day and EA is panicking. In 10+ years I had never considered not buying a version of Madden. EA realized a lot of people feel like me and this and is why they were so quick to announce a patch for the game.
