I'm not sure. Maybe Adam could chime in. I do know they submitted the first patch pretty fast.

Sorry to be curt earlier. I'm just getting frustrated with waiting on these patches. I'm patched out, so to speak.

I played against Arkansas just now and their QB threw 4 picks in the first half and I returned two for touchdowns. That's a high number even in this game, usually the number is lower than that but I haven't had a game yet where I couldn't return at least one INT for a TD. I'm considering trading it in for madden but you only get extra trade in credit through the weekend so I'm hoping to find out before then. I haven't had a big issue with pass rush myself, but the INT thing is really getting to me. Thanks

No, unfortunately the pass rush issue has not been addressed. The pass rush in Madden (to me) is what it should have been for NCAA. Not perfect, but very very good.

I love the new Madden, and I haven't liked it since the Xbox/PS2 versions if that means anything to you. I played NFL2k5 last year with updated rosters due to my frustration with Madden since it came to the 360/PS3.

But, I think it is really good this year, and if they don't mess it up and add more presentation (similar to NFL 2K5, but even better, heck use your freakin ESPN license EA), boost the CPU run game on default sliders, and bring back CPU sliders (may be back this year on downloadable content), it will be outstanding. I also think the new guy, Future15 (forgot his real name) is going to steer the ship very well. I base that on his interaction here and what he has stated.

Thanks. Only problem is that I prefer college because I go to a good football school so it's fun to follow along in the game. If the INT problem especially won't be addressed (honestly I don't see how it could be) then I may have to hope for next year.

ha, I wish. I just hope it helps with the gameplay. I can play it now but it's just frustrating. nothing really to say that hasn't already been said

It is such a great game I just want it tightened up on D and returns. I can deal with everything else. The game as it is makes me want to break my controller. You go play Madden which isnt perfect but has such tight gameplay in comparison.

Anyone know if it is possible to download the 1st patch for the PS3 onto a flashdrive and transfer it over to the PS3?
