Eliminated a button mashing glitch during high latency online games. Eliminated a stability issue that sometimes occured while viewing the player HUB in online leagues. Fixed a tricky disc eject glitch that occured at specific points of online games. Kick Return Tuning - made improvements to help reduce frequent long kick returns.

What's the best way to get a patch to someone without internet access? Is it something that can be put on a memory card?

I just got an update for Madden again when starting up. Any ideas?

Is the Safety issue addressed in this patch or is it still noticeable....And if anyone could help me I just moved into my new apartment and Im switching to Comcast Internet from Verizon and my Xbox won't connect to the internet for some reason even though I run the ethernet cord from my comcast modem to my 360...If any could help I would greaty appreciate it.

Honestly, I hope Ian reads this, You guys really need to add CPU sliders, thats a must man, the game would be amazing if you do this, also you need to patch how quick the CPU snaps the ball, it's just not real at all, and it's really frustrating a lot. I can understand if you can't patch the CPU sliders in because it just can't be done, but if it could be, you need to do. The game is great but really starting to make me not want to play it anymore. I wish IAN or someone can confirm what there working on and if they are going to add CPU sliders to make this the best Madden ever. I just can;t get myself to play Madden right now,I play and then quite because I'm frustrated. Give us an update Please!

What I was meaning to say the game could be great if these two issues are fixed.

that happened to me once 5 years ago or so...I found out the cable company (comcast) required me to purchase an additional IP address because of this. I was pretty pissed, i think it was something like 10 dollars a month. But I hooked up my router to get my computers connected, I tried again with the xbox and it worked - hooking it up through the router.

Long story short - If you hook up directly to the cable modem, cable companies may requre you to purchase another IP address for a gaming console. You can do that, or use a router (wired or wireless, both worked for me) to avoid having to do that.

That might be your problem, pending any unforseen issues like a bad cable or something.

Same here. NCAA is MUCH better after the patch and that's my football fix for now. I was living with some of the issues in Madden until I got the dreaded freezes recently.

EA needs step up and talk about progression, and if editing players stops it. The lack of accountability there is upsetting to me.
