According to Dickson, the first major patch is currently expected to arrive sometime during the middle of September.
For those who may be curious as to why some "Madden NFL 18" players are eagerly anticipating this patch, that is because this downloadable is expected to feature some very helpful fixes.
As Eagamesblog.com pointed out, the first patch is also highly coveted since it is expected to update the final rosters for all 32 NFL teams.
By waiting for the first patch, players can ensure that they will have the most accurate rosters available to them when they start a franchise mode playthrough.
While an exact date for the first patch's arrival has not been shared just yet, there is a chance that players may have to wait until Sept. 12 for it.
Week 1 of the regular season will run from Sept. 7, beginning with the New England Patriots hosting the Kansas City Chiefs, and last until Sept. 11, with the final matchup of that day featuring the Los Angeles Chargers paying a visit to the Denver Broncos.
If developers are looking to provide players with the most accurate rosters possible, they may then have to wait until that Chargers-Broncos game ends before they make the needed changes.
More news about "Madden NFL 18" should be made available soon.
