Post-Release Support Should Improve With Madden NFL 13; First Patch Coming Two Weeks After Release
One of the disappointing aspects of Madden NFL 12 was weaker than anticipated post-release support in the way of patches and "tuners". New content such as consistent roster updates and new Madden Moments flowed throughout the season. However there was only one major patch and the advertised "tuners" never even materialized. The subject was touched upon in a piece written last December. Today Joystiq received a statement from EA Sports regarding post-release support plans for Madden NFL 13...

NCAA Football 13 Patch #2 Out Now
The second patch for NCAA Football 13 which had been targeted for a late August release has come in early by arriving today. This update addresses some of the early issues reported by consumers regarding gameplay and Dynasty mode and adds the "Uniform Store" where missing ones and fixes will be provided for free with any secondary unis coming at a cost.

UFC Undisputed 3 Gets New Fighter Stats Update; Still No Sign of Patch
A new update to fighter stats was pushed out today for UFC Undisputed 3. A number of fighters have received ratings adjustments following recent performances. As to the long awaited patch sadly it's been almost six months since the game released and seemingly there is still no light at the end of the tunnel. The studio that made the game is shut down but THQ would have nothing to gain by lying about a patch still being in the pipeline for the product. However at this point it's completely...

The teases from EA Sports regarding new content for SSX materialized today in a patch for the game that delivers two new modes for free. As expected head-to-head live online multiplayer races are now in and known as "3-2-1-GO" as is the ability to simply explore a mountain in "Freeride" mode. Online races now support up to 5 live competitors. "3-2-1-GO" events can be found at the wall or browsing the globe and are available for both "Race It" and "Trick It" runs. The winner in the latter ...

First NCAA Football 13 Patch Now Available
The first of two announced patches for NCAA Football 13 has gone live for the Xbox 360 and PS3. This patch is only intended to address a crash occasionally experienced in Dynasty mode when entering a game and a playcall screen bug that sometimes prevented the changing of formations until the game was paused and returned to action. The follow-up patch in late August will deliver more in the way of gameplay improvements as well as the "Uniform Store" where new primary sets that have been (o...

MLB 2K12 Patch Details
In what may very well be the last action for the MLB 2K franchise as it comes to an end 2K Sports has released a patch for MLB 2K12 taking nearly three months to do so. MLB Today Season, the main new mode for the game, inexcusably has been busted all along and this patch doesn't appear to be promising a complete fix. Other prominent issues are going unaddressed as well. In general it's a much less extensive update than the company has provided in past years which may not come as much of a s...

Patch Released for UEFA EURO 2012
EA Sports has faced a great deal of criticism for their handling of the UEFA EURO 2012 add-on for FIFA 12. The concealment of the actual number of licensed teams included in the product justifies the resulting unrest and building distrust. Now the company has released a patch for EURO - and while it isn't going to change perception towards the product at all it will hopefully improve the experience to an extent for those who purchased it and continue to play it by addressing some reported is...

Another MLB 12: The Show Patch Arrives – Addresses Problems from Previous Updates and Prepares for Mode Addition
Consumers have encountered a number of troubles produced by patches for MLB 12: The Show - the most major of which have been Franchise and Road to the Show freezes and broken cross platform play - and an update that has been made available today for the PS3 version is intended to address some of those. While it won't get back all the time that has been lost and frustration generated in the process it will hopefully help to stabilize the experience for the rest of the year as this seems like...

MLB 2K12 Patch Still A Ways Off
Though it has desperately needed post-release support in the way of a patch MLB 2K12 has gone without one because of the Perfect Game Contest. Ironically 2K Sports had to make sure the competition would offer uniformity for the whole month of April only to find out that any legitimacy it had was shattered by rampant cheating. Now that it's all over though 2K Sports is in the clear to alter the game and because of that many expected they would be ready to roll out an update immediately. Unfor...
