NBA and Madden Patch Updates
by 
The second patch for Madden 10 is in certification testing with MS and Sony. It is unclear when it started that process but it is reasonable to expect it to arrive by the middle of the month. Some of what is expected in the upcoming patch can be found here.
The patch for NBA 2K10 has been submitted to MS and Sony. If it clears through without any hiccups it should be out within the next two weeks. Details on what is expected from the patch can be found here. (Update: Out as of 11/6)
The first patch for NBA Live 10 that was released last week on the 360 has been approved by Sony and should be out this week (it could come at any time). The patch details can be found here. (Update: Out as of 11/5) A second patch is in the process of being submitted to MS and Sony. That patch will address some issues that were discovered after the release of the first patch. It sounds as though it will be out mid-late this month.

The Live patch killed the game for me. I can't even finish a game now
November 4, 2009 at 8:38 pm
Yea I'm with you on that. I'm not an EA hater but the Live patch didn't improve anything to me. I traded it in at Gamestop & I only got $13.00 for it. WTF?
November 4, 2009 at 8:44 pm
While I still have many gripes with the gameplay I thought the patch did enhance several areas pretty well.
November 4, 2009 at 9:31 pm
post patch there is some odd things going on but I agree it did fix some areas that really needed addressing like rebounding for one. With that said there is something weird on the contact fouls. I had the Lakers the other night and Kobe was getting mugged all game, no call whenever I drove to the basket but the CPU was getting and ones left and right. they really need to clean up the elbow block ether in a patch or next years version.
The game is still fun and Dynamic Season is the future mode in my opinion. I tried starting a Dynasty but it was just stale.
November 4, 2009 at 10:13 pm
There does seem to be imbalance in CPU getting foul calls vs Users not getting them on similar animations.
November 4, 2009 at 10:05 pm
Why are you trading a brand new game for 13 bucks? There are other more profitable ways to get what you initially paid for it. Just saying….
Mo Diddley the tell em Gamestop ain't the only game in town-er! (no pun intended)
November 4, 2009 at 10:56 pm
No one should ever sell their games at gamestop… they will literally give you the worste deal. If you're looking to sell a game first try craigslist or ebay, it'll be worth that little extra effort.
November 5, 2009 at 1:41 am
with you on that one
November 4, 2009 at 11:21 pm
Yea dude I already have 2K10 so I just decided to cut my losses. Live just wasn't doing it for me this year. I was impressed initially but then after a few weeks of playing it just got dull. I think next year Live needs to add way more animations. It seems like everytime I drive the lane I get sucked into the defender only to do the same collision animation everytime no matter what player I am. Also the steal button is not responsive enough. Those 2 things kill the game for me. If Live can match 2K's animations & make the game more responsive then I will give it another go next year. I do love Live's total control dribbling though.
November 5, 2009 at 1:39 pm
I liked Live until I opened my eyes and I felt like I was watching a cartoon – lol
November 5, 2009 at 4:07 am
u have a defective system because its rare if i cant finish the game….after patch
November 4, 2009 at 8:15 pm
Need that Madden patch ASAP…next week, Madden will be taking a backseat to MW2.
November 4, 2009 at 8:17 pm
really looking forward to the madden 10 patch… should be a good one!!!!
November 4, 2009 at 8:58 pm
HOPEFULLY AFTA DEEZ PATCHES DROP EVEYTHING WILL B GOOD $$$$
IF UR NOT 1ST UR LAST
November 4, 2009 at 8:58 pm
I hope the Madden patch will make the game better cause I am very close to selling this game. Especially with MW2 coming out next week and I probably won't be playing any other games once that comes out.
November 4, 2009 at 9:23 pm
Do you have to restart a franchise to make the update work on Madden 10?
November 5, 2009 at 12:46 am
sadly yes you do …. i am just waiting right now so i hope that it is out soon!
November 5, 2009 at 5:18 am
why would you have to restart a franchise for a gameplay/bugs patch? that makes no sense, can someone that actually knows confrim this
November 5, 2009 at 1:26 pm
Has it been confirmed somewhere?
That would suck.
November 4, 2009 at 9:28 pm
Will the new NBA 2k10 patch finally allow you to play crew games without getting exited out?
November 4, 2009 at 9:30 pm
unlikely
November 5, 2009 at 12:07 am
NOW HOW U GONNA LIE
November 4, 2009 at 9:40 pm
They need to add the Chargers "new powder blue" uniforms as well. I know they were pressured a lot to add the Seahawks neon green ones, because they caused quite a stir. But the Chargers have actually worn their "new powder blues" on more than 1 occasion. They actually wore them this past Sunday against KC. They need to be included in the patch!
November 4, 2009 at 10:39 pm
The powder blues are out dumbass…Buy the AFL Legacy pack
November 5, 2009 at 1:39 am
Hey dumbass,
He's refering to the alternates, not the throwbacks (which are also screwed up).
November 4, 2009 at 9:45 pm
3 point shooting is too unrealistic on live i hope they patch that
November 4, 2009 at 9:53 pm
WOW,hmm if i can recall i remember hearing about a NBA2K10 patch coming out in 2 weeks way back in freken early october,now we have to wait another 2 weeks,smh jus give it up to because i know this game is gonna need another patch that they wont even pay attention to.
November 4, 2009 at 10:07 pm
Hey Pasta, I saw an SI commercial offering an included copy of NBA Live with a subscription. Have you seen that deal yet?
November 4, 2009 at 10:14 pm
Same thing they did with Madden. Probably takes 4-6 weeks to get the game though.
November 4, 2009 at 10:17 pm
so I'm a broad huh fairy? fuck you bitch and suck on my left nutt
November 5, 2009 at 5:20 am
you're a fag
November 5, 2009 at 6:26 am
Shut the hell up dude before I shove your Teeth down your fhroat.
November 5, 2009 at 6:31 am
How am I fag? put that on everything?
November 5, 2009 at 6:36 am
yeah bitch well cut your head off and send it to your mom.
November 5, 2009 at 7:37 am
Just got done with the morning workout and just finished my Oatmeal.
god you're a fag
November 4, 2009 at 10:20 pm
Do you happen to know if they are aware of this?
November 4, 2009 at 10:49 pm
Hey Pasta! It would be great if you could do a re-review and also compare NBA Live 10 and NBA 2K10 after the patches are out to see if they improved the games and in what areas. After the games were released, I was hesitant to buy either game due to all the problems. It would be great to hear if one of the games is worth it now. Thanks!
November 4, 2009 at 11:32 pm
Why would you want to hear Pasta rant about how good Live is? We already know who his alliance is with. Pasta already admitted he's not a sim gamer so you have to take his "opinions" with a grain of salt.
November 5, 2009 at 1:20 am

November 5, 2009 at 5:22 am
2k definitely, live plays so much like an arcade.. people sprint down the court at a 100 miles an hour, live is just to unrealistic for me
November 4, 2009 at 11:51 pm
My major problems that I would like to see fixed in Madden (but didn't see mentioned in the patch details):
less over the shoulder catches
offensive line stats- they don't make pro bowls because the get no pancake blocks, even if they allow no sacks. no pancakes also= minimum progression in the offseason. Only young (rookies to 4th year) linemen progress. veteran linemen, even if younger than 30, don't progress
November 5, 2009 at 12:30 am
Are they going to take out the aphrodisiac in the next NBA Live? This year's version has the players sweating out sex oils during the games.
November 5, 2009 at 1:53 am
hahaha. good one pete

November 5, 2009 at 3:23 am
I Had To Trade My Game In The Shit Kept Freezing On Replays For Some Reason So I Just Rebought NBA Live For My Ps3
November 5, 2009 at 4:08 am
my dude it was the patch it was a error in the patch so there is going to be a new patch coming out by the middle of the month and if u didnt know u can delete the patch update off your hard drive if u want but if u get back online u have to download it again when i play off offline sometimes i just erase the patch so it does not freeze so ohh check out my channel on YOU TUBE here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/optimusP76
November 5, 2009 at 10:41 am
even without the patch 2k is a far better game. The my player mode is great and just play the game for a lil while and the framerate issues stop. i played 10 games in the d league in my player mode and didnt have one issue with the framerate. 2k is a great game,
wish u could change the quarter lenght in my player mode, oh well gotta wait 2 weeks for the patch
November 5, 2009 at 4:58 pm
Yea what's wierd is that after playing the game for a month now the framerate issues seem to have went away. WTF? Can somebody explain this?
November 5, 2009 at 2:41 pm
the live patch finnaly drop for the ps3 yes this patch made live the best basketball game i ever played now i hope madden do the same
November 5, 2009 at 2:47 pm
The patch for NBA 2K10 has been submitted to MS and Sony. If it clears through without any "HICCUPS"
Pasta: Was that shot really necessary. You just can't help yourself can you.
I hope this time Madden actually fixes the problem with the flats instead of making it worse.
If they do 70% of the people playing will be upset. It's the only way they can move the ball since they can't read coverages.
November 5, 2009 at 3:00 pm
Bought both B-Ball games this year, They are both back on the shelf at my local game store and and have been replaced by FIFA10 and NHL10. Im a basketball coach and never really cought on to soccer but i enjoy the video game way more then its basketball counterparts. You cant actually say that either of these games are impressive. 2k got an average rating of 7.25-8.25 and Live gets anywhere from 8.0 – 8.50. These ratings are very poor if you consider these games are made every year and we have been on the next gen for awhile now. Especially when games like NHL 10 and FIFA 10 are getting it and have been for the last couple of years. I do not follow soccer or hockey closly but i must say the video games are much more enjoyable.
November 5, 2009 at 3:17 pm
And Im sorry someone correct me if Im wrong but does Live or 2k require a patch to fix a previous patch. If so what do they do during the "certification testing" phase after its submitted to MS and Sony. I dont get it someone help because if there is a job where i can set and do nothing, which is what it sounds like these "certification testers" do. Then i need to find an application becasue i want that job
November 6, 2009 at 1:12 am
The people who certify don't know the games like that since they are not the devs or have tons of time to test the games so the bugs will still be there, regardless. I don't exactly know what their job is but I know it's not to check for bugs.
November 5, 2009 at 4:24 pm
NO, you don't need to start a new Franchise. patches work for your current Franchise so you good.
November 5, 2009 at 4:26 pm
So when will we get the FULL list of whats in the Madden update? Not till the patch comes out?
November 6, 2009 at 1:10 am
Well, I find it funny how 2K suddenly has their patch avail so soon after that yak their post talked last week. Hypocrisy at it's finest.
Anyway, good to hear that EA has that second patch ready for certification submission. The PS3 patch I got this morning and I've already experienced the goaltending issue where I don't get my points even though the CPU gets called for goaltending when I shoot/dunk.
I'm good with the patch, otherwise, except for the fact that the steal/rebound button responsiveness wasn't addressed, at all. I pride myself on defense even when playing b-ball in real life so trying to on-ball steal in Live 10 seems almost like a waste of time and no fun, at all, because it's so difficult to pull off. I did notice that it is a bit "easier" to get a steal when swiping at the ball because of the added contact points on the ball. Maybe the new patch will fix the button responsiveness, this time. Doubt it but I am hoping they slip it in.
November 8, 2009 at 7:13 pm
Does anyone know the official date the madden patch is coming out???????I'm so mad rite now it was suppost to be out like 2 weeks ago!!!!!!
November 12, 2009 at 3:13 am
Hey Pasta, do you have any idea if the block kick-off glitch is going to be adressed in the next patch coming up? If anyone one else has this problem or knows if it's going to be fixed, please let me know.
November 6, 2009 at 8:00 pm
nice going dude! now the admins are mad at me because of you. buzz off.
November 6, 2009 at 8:02 pm
LOL u mad? because I get exercise?
HAHAH XD kidd.
