Madden 08 PS3 patch to be released Tuesday morning

Updating the previous posting regarding the release timing of the PS3 patch for Madden 08, I have received word that the patch has finally cleared certification by Sony and will be released in the morning (8th).

This is the same patch the 360 received late in November and addresses the following issues:

Fumble Fix – Reduced fumble chances in certain situations. This has been tested thoroughly and we feel that people will be happy with a more realistic (and more fun!) number of fumbles. This was priority number 1 for us.

DB Reactions- changes to the way that DBs play man coverage. Defenders in man coverage won’t be able to react to passes that they cannot see. This should make it easier to throw against man coverage.

Favre “Moonwalk”- I love the names that you guys come up with for issues such as this one. You can rest assured that you won’t see Farve (or any QB) dancing toward the sideline anymore.

Hook Zone Flip Bug- I saw a post on a community forum talking about this bug and it turns out the fix was very minimal risk. You can now flip plays with hook zones without the players leaving their zones.

Franchise – Fixed NCAA import issue where players would turn 26

Franchise – Fixed bug where HOF Unlocked players cannot be released in Franchise.

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%

About damn time Sony and EA got their *stuff* in order. As a 360 owner, I would also like to know if we can now finally get the roster update that has been sitting around for weeks.

Just hold “X” on the play you really want, and while holding “X” let go of it on the play you want the other person you’re playing to think you’re choosing.

Ok, they released the patch, i downloaded it.. then i restarted my game, and it said that i needed to update my roster but these aren’t the new rosters, they are the same as before. Any idea on when the new new ones will be released? or why it asked me download again?

I heard the patch for PS3 came out today and I have a question about it. Do the updates in the franchise mode (such as the Free Agents not running out) apply to franchises that have already been started before the patch was downloaded? Please help.

Same here after I downloaded the patch, I fumble the kickoff, and then the computer fumbles on a run the very next play. At least throwing against man coverage seemed better
