Patch 1 and 2 Info

[spurred]

will there be a 3rd patch if there are still problems and I know there will be?

There will not be a third patch and you can't download the patch via thumbdrives on the internet. You can only get a patch by connecting your system directly to the internet.

Yeah, that's pretty realistic for Patch 2. But actually, MS's release of Patch 2 occured earlier than most of us thought, at least compared with how long it took to get other downloads released through Call of Duty 4, etc.

I agree that a lot of the gameplay elements seem to "work" better in Madden than in NCAA. And I don't really mean that as a rip on NCAA, which actually does a lot of things better than Madden (ahem, online leagues). But it's too bad that EA proved they could've got it "right" in Madden, and just didn't with the retail version of NCAA, for whatever reason.

NCAA released a month before Madden but the first patch for Madden drops today and still no NCAA patch. Unreal. Maybe there were problems with certification....who knows.

I couldn't find it in this discussion, but any idea if I have to restart my dynasty for these patches to take effect? Thank you.

With patches it changes the code I think, so no you won't have to restart

Sometimes I like to anyways though as the stats after the patch would probably be different than the stats beforehand. Not a big issue for some people but I just like to play through a whole season with the same settings

So wait... PATCH 2 is already out for the 360?

Great point. Thanks. The one thing that got me was the roster resetting, which had teams' No. 1 running backs like Chris Wells and Knowshown Moreno returning kicks.

No, he meant to say that it will be coming out sooner than we thought.

Oh OK gotcha... I've just been reading some people saying they've already downloaded two updates on their 360's, so I thought...maybe.
