Madden and NFL Head Coach 09 Patch Updates

Posted September 19th, 2008 at 3:45 pm

The patches for Madden 09 and NFL Head Coach 09 have been in certification testing with Microsoft and Sony for some time now so here is the latest on where we are at with those.

(Updated) Madden 09 will be receiving its second patch at 5am ET on Tuesday morning. It should be arriving for both the 360 and PS3. Originally it was believed that the patch would come out in the early AM hours of Saturday but it missed that cutoff and is now set for the AM hours of Tuesday for release by Microsoft and Sony. The details on what will come with the patch can be found here.

(Updated) The patch for Head Coach was set to be released at 5am ET on Saturday but it too didn’t make it out. It may be the same 5am ET release as the Madden patch on Tuesday morning. However the PS3 will not be receiving the patch until possibly later this week or next week (there was a problem that required resubmitting). The details on what will come with the patch can be found here.

I haven’t connected my XBOX 360 to the internet in a few years – so could someone post when the patch comes through so folks like myself know when to go through the hassle of connecting. Thanks.

Also, is it really as easy as just connecting an ethernet to the back of the 360 or do I have to login to XBOX live or something like that?

p.s. enough with the dickface, age, whatever comments. we’re fortunate to have this little slice of info here, let’s not spoil it.

I have a question on the Franchise Pasta. Why doesn’t it show pro bowls for players like Tatupu of the seasons played in the NFL. Since he’s gone to 3 so far it should of course say 3 when I start the Franchise but since Madden 07 they’ve left that blank for everyone. Also I’m curious of about when you edit a player why does it remove their draft status?

Hey Pasta, will I need to start a new franchise for the patch to take effect?

per the blog on EA, no need to start a new franchise

“As a side note, as of this moment there have been no changes to database schema, so you won’t have to re-start your Franchise or delete any files. “

So you’re saying you don’t want the info of when they are coming, just to post after saying that they are out? I think most people would disagree. As always the situation with patches and updates are fluid and can change, I can only pass along the info that I am provided. Its fair to take that info with some skepticism and don’t count on it but in that situation I still think people would want to know what is the latest on when things of that nature may be out.
