Re: Patch is Live and here's the change list...

Great news Josh. We really appreciate the extra work you guys have put into this title, which I already think is great. I look forward to using play creator from the clipboard and I really am pleased I can call plays during the 2 minute drill, that cost me a few games. I don't remember who you said got that in, but thank them again. That is huge for me. And the FG power too, sort of felt cheap the few times I won because the CPU failed to make a chip shot field goal due to lack of power.

Good one. He probably fixed that on his own.

Seriously, don't give me any credit for this.

The credit should go to three guys who took time out of their current schedules to bust their asses on these fixes:

Dan Bekins

Chris Staymates

Jeff Keyek

These guys are the best programmers I've ever worked with in 9 years in the industry.

They are money.

Yeah, you'll see a huge difference in fumbles, too. I played three games with LT and had one fumble.

Bekins did the 2 minute drill fix.

Staymates handled kick power and fumbles.

Great work on the patch!!

Just a question.. If you're only part way through year 1, would you recommend restarting a career or does the patch automatically come in to effect?

The patch will go into effect even if you're in the middle of a career.

I'd restart if you've lost games because of the 2 minute warning issue, had players be injured for years, etc.

Otherwise you should be fine.

Hi Josh,
Thank you so much for listening to the community, and keeping us informed. I was an avid supporter of EA, but passed on Madden and NCAA this year after sub par efforts last year. I purchased Head Coach two weeks ago because of the way you communicated with us and the passion you (and your team) have for your work. This title will be a release day purchase next year for certain.

Endless thanks to Dan, Chris, and Jeff!

this kind of programming dedication and customer support is very rare these days (especially in EA) and does not go unnoticed or unappreciated by us fans!

if those guys don't read the forums, please pass along our thanks Josh
