It kind of is...when has franchise not had flaws? They fixed the freezing glitch and balanced out things so it's more like the PS2 days so in some ways it is "better than ever," but that's because it was never that great. We just noticed the flaws more and more as years went on.

The AI still drafts poorly, the progression is preset to only favor certain players (it always has been we just know the potential now), and you can still exploit things easily and trade for things you shouldn't be able to or sign and cut guys in unrealistic fashion with no circumstances because morale has no effect...

No...Pasta's post predicted it would be around that time. Do the research yourself instead of saying I'm wrong. He did the same thing when he said it was submitted for certification at the start of November. It was merely an assumption that you guys took as fact.

Correction: the EA moderator made the assumption, not Pasta. I apologize as I just looked into it and the original patch 2 post was copied from an EA Moderator's post.

I'm a sports fan, and an avid gamer, and while I do have "favorite games" Madden isn't one of them, and even my favorites don't get special treatment when I argue with other people.

I didn't realize it was possible to agree with someone's sarcastic trolling post. Some of you use the term "opinion" too loosely...your statement isn't a critique of anything, it's just a backhanded insult to other anonymous people.

This list is titled "more details" for a reason.

No game publisher knows about when their patch is going to be officially released. They simply inform the community when it is sent to certification, a simple 5 minutes of research would show that.

It's not that they're wrong for complaining, it's that most of them don't have any clue what they're talking about and can't even read the article they're commenting on.

Find me a quote that says it would be released in the first half of November, otherwise shut up.

Pasta predicted it would be released in the first half of November, he's not EA. Way to go off about something you clearly misinterpreted.

I said "don't buy the game" to the one guy because he said they shouldn't bother updating the game at all if they aren't going to follow through with their promises. The problem is, THEY DIDN'T PROMISE THE PATCH AT ANY SPECIFIC TIME. Pasta gave a prediction, and you idiots misinterpret the hell out of it and use his comments section to act like you have any clue what's going on or "what's right" with the way EA handles their free updates.

Eric Berry comes in lower because he is considered undersized. Simple remedy that makes him an automatic Top 5 pick involves making him an inch taller and more ideal size at 210.

It's not so much a flaw within their logic as it is their system, because college players often gain more weight at certain positions in the transition to the NFL. QB's for example get up to around 220, which is actually the weight class that is considered "ideal" by the import draft logic as well. The problem with NCAA is that it doesn't simulate it well, even though it has in years past. Players would gain several pounds to aide them instead of them going 5 years (RS included) and only gaining 1 or 2 pounds like in NCAA 10.

So, you'd rather they do nothing instead of attempting to appease a bunch of whiny crybabies who obviously don't deserve any additions to the game? Just don't buy the game anymore, but these annoying tirades have ruined this blog for anyone that reads the comments. It's on a youtube level at this point.

These blogs are always released just before the patch drops, so it's likely coming this week. It's not "hush hush" either, the certification process is entirely in the control of the console companies. They never promised a specific time window for the patch, they just promised a patch. I follow a lot of video games, and no community is as selfish and annoying as the Madden crowd...and that includes games that are much crappier than Madden.

It is suspicious that, although it was mentioned in the blog from before, the tackle glitch isn't specifically in this patch details post? One can only hope it's an oversight in whoever did the write-up, otherwise we have to assume Looman couldn't figure out how to fix it and simply made up for it by the draft history work-around in the "awards" section.
