Madden 08

As I suspected the patch for Madden 08 will include a fix to the franchise mode that has been causing people to prematurely end their franchises. Unfortunately this information was apparently cut off from the previous blog posting by EA that detailed what the patch was fixing. How they managed to miss that and take four days to clarify I don’t know, but now everyone can calm down.

In addition to everything mentioned earlier the patch will will address:

Franchise – Fixed bug where the FA pool would run out of certain positions

Online Game Reporting- fixed a number of issues where games weren’t being reported correctly or people weren’t getting the right number of ranking points for a win. This will also make stats more accurate.

EA SPORTS World- Accomplishment ’20 consecutive completions’ not awarded when completions ends up under 100%

no not yet. It will prompt you to download an update before you can play the game.

Hey Pasta, thanks for all the great info brotha. I was wondering, I have a 360, and wanted to know if they would be able to let us change a players position in franchise mode with a patch or something.
thanks

Hey Pasta, thanks for the info…

Did the patch get recalled and no longer going through certification? They had said 2 weeks and it’s far past that now.

I’m really shocked at EA’s attitude toward it’s customers here and the information they give/DON’T give.

Hey seems like you guys are Madden gurus…here’s a question.

How do you negotiate contracts for the coaches in franchise mode. I have a season going, my contracts are all set for my players but my coaches morale is low and I have to negotiate, according to the owner, I am underpaying my guys.

So where do you find that? I know where you negotiate for the players, is it somewhere in there too? Because in the drop-down menu I don’t see coaches, only offense, defense and their positions.

Thank you for any help
