Title: I can't get no... Post by: Llava on October 06, 2005, 11:00:47 AM So I haven't seen a post about this apparent mess with Madden '06 for the PSP.
Following some links around on Penny Arcade, I did notice this rather genius moment of customer service quoted (taken from the EA forums, then apparently deleted): Quote Quote I guess I'm looking for some affirmation that EA Again, I can't answer that. Everyone has there own definition of "satisfaction".plans to satisfy all the consumers that are $50 in the hole right now. Whether that is with a fix or refund it doesn't matter. EA letting their customers know they will be taken care of is what needs to be done at this point. I guess that is what I'm trying to say. I don't expect an answer of what the resolution will be at this point. I know that takes time. However, it doesn't take this amount of time to tell your customers that they will be taken care of. Nathan Here's a list of the problems: Quote Intermittent crashes after accepting the Terms of Use to create an online account Intermittent inability to apply Assistant Coach Points in Franchise Mode Frequent PSP lockup and shutdown when selecting “End Game” at the end of a Franchise Game PSP lockup and shutdown when playing the Gameplan practices in Franchise Mode after turning the ball over. This happens every time the ball is turned over. According to EA Sports, the Online Mode is still in a “testing phase” weeks after the game was released to the public The majority of online games get disconnected While playing online games, the experience is extremely laggy. That is until it gets disconnected. Online roster updates are corrupt and now generally unavailable Graphics flash randomly during load screens Typographical errors throughout the game Kick Meter randomly disappears during kicking plays Random wrong team behind players in load screens So, yeah. Most of us should be feeling pretty smug right now. (http://forums.f13.net/index.php?topic=1916.0) How long was that before they stopped trying? Anyone clock it?

Post by: Mesozoic on October 06, 2005, 12:08:36 PM Yeah, who could have guessed that a monopoly would have resulted in such poor quality. Whats so galling is that all these assholes have to do is shit out the same game every year with new rosters - for the awesomely discounted price of $49.99 - and they can't even pull that off. And when their customers actually complain, the sum total of their response is to offer a work-around that doesn't work.
Bravo. Title: Re: I can't get no... Post by: shiznitz on October 06, 2005, 12:11:42 PM Don't be surprised if you get a STD while dancing with a $5 whore.

Fucking Madden. Title: Re: I can't get no... Post by: Llava on October 06, 2005, 12:42:54 PM I liked how the guy who appears to be the official forum liason used the wrong "there".

Post by: Bunk on October 06, 2005, 02:01:35 PM Quote Frequent PSP lockup and shutdown when selecting “End Game” at the end of a Franchise Game This same problem was in the PC version of '04. I'd spend an hour playing a season game, and 50% of the time the damn thing would crash when you hit End Game, and never save the results. Gave up on buying Madden after that.

They knew the skinny, yet they chose to sleep with the Devil. Should they really be surprised at getting fucked in an uncomfortable place? Title: Re: I can't get no...
