Official Madden '09 Bugs and Glitches List Thread

Ian_Cummings_EA · 08-09-2008, 12:40 PM

I have a request for this thread (this is for everyone, especially you mods).

This should NOT be a discussion thread. Come Monday night at midnight, this place is going to be HOPPING. As a developer, I want to find the best possible way to filter through the thousands of posts to get real issues. Here's some stuff I'd like to see from this thread:

1. No discussion posts. Each post has to be a bug...pure and simple. If we want a bug discussion thread, let's have one. Mods, is this possible? Can we delete posts that don't follow this?

2. We need to find a way to get the community pulse on "priority" of issues. Maybe we keep the very first post as a list of what the community feels is the top 10?

3. Follow a bug description format. Here's an example:

---------------------------------------
Bug: Defenders seem to change pursuit angles while a ballcarrier is being tackled.
Location: In-Game & Online
Priority: Medium
Version: X360 Collector's Edition
Skill Level (if applicable): Pro / No Madden IQ
EASW Video Example (if applicable):

Ok guys, we are going with something new here. We are going to follow the bug description format that Ian has listed in his post that is above this one. This time next week after the majority of the community has had some hands-on time with the game to dissect it to the most minute detail, I'll use this post to list the Top 10 bugs/glitches found by the community. Hopefully, other mods will help me keep the top 10 list as accurate as possible. The reason for doing things this way is so that Ian/Phil/Donny or whomever from EA can look, see what we feel is wrong and try to address them without having to sift through countless posts of people discussing the severity of the bug. We all want the game to be as bug/glitch free as possible, so lets please keep this thread free of discussion.

Here's the rules/warnings for this thread:

This thread is not to discuss the bugs/glitches found. Any posts that are made that do not follow the protocol laid out by Ian's post above will be deleted.

Those who continually fail to follow the protocol of this thread will be given infractions.

i've seen it at least 3-4 times.
