I think they are paying to do it.  Sales are down like 18% this year (something from OS) so I assume they are trying to do everything they can to keep people from selling their copy and losing another sale to a used game.

Speaking of which a friend offered me his copy as he was selling his 360 and I reluctantly agreed to take it. Kinda sad that I struggled to take this game off his hands, for free.

That was unexpected. Is Microsoft allowing more patches these days or is EA paying for the updates after the second one?

Another Madden Patch (#5)

from OS

Ian Cummings just posted the details for Madden NFL 11 title update #5. When you get in a few games, please post your impressions here.

*UPDATE: The patch is still hit or miss ATM. It's up to MS and Sony on when they will push it.

Quote:






Hello Madden fans, we are happy to announce the release of our fifth (and likely final) title update for Madden NFL 11, just in time for the holidays. The fixes listed below represent a culmination of all the feedback received from you, the fans, in our loyal community. We'd like to thank you for the continued support and strong attention to detail, as well as, your willingness to contribute in always trying to make Madden NFL a better game. This title update focuses on primarily fixing online exploits and fine-tuning the balance of gameplay by making numerous improvements to defensive AI.

The fixes are as follows:

• Fixed an exploit to disallow defenders from all blitzing when the quarterback tried to pump fake when facing the wrong direction. This was discovered in NCAA Football 11 and fixed in both titles.
• Fixed an exploit where unscrupulous players could get their fullback or tight end to move across the line of scrimmage and cause an encroachment penalty against an unsuspecting defensive player.
• Fixed an exploit where online gamers could use specific timing in pulling the network plug and cause a soft lock for both users, thus not having to face a loss. We've isolated and fixed the problem, so now if someone pulls their plug, they rightfully get a loss.
• Improved reaction times for defenders in coverage to better react to receivers
• Improved logic to get defenders in better position to make plays on the ball while in the air
• Improved defensive play recognition to get defenders reacting to the play faster
• Tuned up defensive pursuit to get defenders to take smarter angles to the ball carrier
• Tuned up defensive gap aggressiveness to get defenders into the hole faster
• Fixed an issue where the play art on defense would sometimes not show up correctly when showing blitz. We have corrected this problem in thirteen formations so now all proper play art will be displayed when showing blitz to the offense.

I'm seeing reports that the update is out. I guess I'll try to confirm when I get home tonight.

My current assessment of Madden;

Offline,I've made peace with it. My sliders have been effective in reducing the crazy offense and big plays.

Online,the floaty passing and kicking lag kill it.

I have to be honest...I find this year's game to be almost as fun as NCAA Football. I was very critical of Madden when the demo came out but I've done a complete 180 on my opinion since then.
