I guess it's not their job to not make buggy software...If you were paying $60.00 for filet mignon and ordered it medium rare, but it was cooked to well done, would you be saying, "The chef did his best,"?

Question from someone who's not well-versed on patches and on-line stuff: I have a silver account and just downloaded the patch. But I have four profiles on my 360, only one of which has an X-Box Live account (the one I used to download the patch). Does this mean whenever I play NCAA I have to be signed on under this username to get the effects of the patch, or is the patch now incorporated into the 360 and will work with any profile I'm signed under?

The reason I'm wondering is because my NCAA 09 settings and stats and highlights, etc. are under a different profile and don't show up when I'm signed on as the profile that has the Live account.

I hope this makes sense.

when the chef has to put in thousands upon thousands of line codes just to get my steak to cook on the grill, then we can use this analogy. Until then...

1. I don't think I'll laugh when I find out what the small issue with the 1st patch is. EA may think this is a joke but I don't.
2. We payed our money for an obviously horribly flawed game. Didn't that earn us the right for full disclosure on these patches?
3. Just tell us what the holdup is and give us an accurate time frame to expect patch 1 and patch 2.
That really doesn't seem like too much to ask...does it?

MS puts the patch up/Sony tells me I can put the patch up Step one doesn't take very long usually because our guys are committed to our game. CQC takes a little longer usually because they also have to worry about other EA titles. 3rd Party takes even longer than that, because they have to worry about every single title on the platform. I won't discuss what the small issue is right now, and trust me, you don't want me to. Ask me again in a couple months... you'll laugh, I promise. I will say it was a PS3 only type of thing, so it wasn't a factor on 360. The fact that our guys, CQC, and Sony have all looked at the patch already means they won't need to be as extensive with it when it comes back through. We're trying to leverage the fastest possible turnaround with Sony by playing the "360 already has it" card. The second patch should still be on schedule for both platforms.

I don't think any PS3 owner would laugh at this issue. What I don't understand is how is it possible for this "small issue" to get through the most dedicated of the testers to move on to Sony, where they spot this "small issue"? How does this happen? Maybe your guys should look more extensive at the problems, this would have solved hours/days where you and your guys could be developing 2010.

I'm an accountant - I review my work, give it to my supervisor, where if there are problems I get it back (even if I miss a $ sign). Then that goes on to my supervisor's superivsor, and on and on. This is the same process, but I've never had a "small issue" get through to the partner of the firm. If so, I would lose my job, not the case at EA?

Since there have been so many problems on these games in the past few years, why not give out beta version or demo (more extensive) earlier and then hear the complaints and then solve the issues before the release date. hell, move the release date back a month so you could catch these issues.

Don't get me wrong, I still love this game, but come on... serisouly?

Obviously all the EA developers own 360's. Duh.
