2K Sports struggling with MLB 2K8 community relations
I've held off writing about the current patch situation for MLB 2K8 throughout the week. My general feeling was that just waiting on the patch isn't really news. But developments over the past few days warrant some discussion. March 13th was the day the news came out (via Game Informer) that a patch was in the works to address the poor framerate and Padres franchise roster glitch for the 360 along with a PS3 patch that would only fix Padres issue. Amusingly 11 days later 2K Sports sent out ...

No framerate fix for PS3 MLB 2K8
Earlier today 2K Sports sent out a press release regarding the patches that are being worked on for MLB 2K8. Amusingly it was the very same statement word for word that was given to Game Informer and discussed here 10 days ago. I wonder if that means the "shortly" it will supposedly be available relates to now or when it was originally communicated. As I eluded to when breaking down the statement, 2K was ignoring the PS3 consumers and not addressing the framerate issues while doing so on th...

Patches in the works for MLB 2K8
Game Informer has gotten official word from Take Two/2K Sports regarding several patches that are currently being worked on for the 360 and PS3 versions of MLB 2K8. Specifically mentioned are the framerate and the Padres' roster glitch. Lets look at a few parts of the statement that was made with my translation following. It has come our attention that there are a few technical issues within Major League Baseball 2K8 that may effect gameplay enjoyment for some players. We shipped a game wit...

360 receives NBA Live 08 OTP update
The Online Team Play update for the Xbox 360 version of NBA Live 08 was released earlier today. After a premature press release in mid-November and the PS3 version receiving the patch a few weeks ago, the 360 crowd has finally received the ability to play with up to 10 different consoles connected into a single game. It certainly appears that it will have been worth the wait. Initial reports from the PS3 side have been very positive. There has also been overwhelming enthusiasm towards the...

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: (more...)...

PS3 Madden patch nearing release
I have received word that the patch for the PS3 version of Madden has nearly cleared certification by Sony. As I noted last week it was looking as though the first full week of January would be a good bet for when it would arrive. That appears to be the case as the expectation is it will be out on Friday or sometime early next week. This patch, which was released at the end of November for the 360, among other things deals with reducing the high rate of fumbles, improves defensive back re...

Update on the Madden 08 PS3 patch
I continue to get emails regarding the second patch for Madden 08 and when it will make its way out for the PS3. I figured it would be helpful to post what is known at this point. The patch was sent to Sony at the same time it was sent to Microsoft. Apparently Sony had a long line of patches to pass through certification so that is where the holdup is. Sony's offices are closed all next week which means that the patch won't be cleared and sent out until the first week of January at the...

FIFA 08 OTP patch fixes
Along with the Online Team Play update that allowed for up to 10 players on their own systems in a single online game, the FIFA 08 team was able to address some other issues at the same time. EA sent out the following detailing the specifics. Creating and delivering the OTP Update took a huge amount of work on the part of the dev team who really believed they could release the new feature for FIFA 08 even after the launch of the game. During all this hard work they found some time to opti...

NCAA Football 08 patch for 360 is out
The patch for the 360 version of the NCAA Football 08 has been released by Microsoft. This is the same patch that came out for the PS3 back at the end of October. EA was able to work around technical conflicts that seemed as though they were going to prevent the patch from coming to the 360. The patch addresses such issues as toning down the fumbles, more realistic defensive AI, and the ability to better lob passes. It also includes clock extensions allowing more time to choose a play on...
