I had the game a couple of years back and recently reinstalled on a new PC using the Amazon download - patch 4.0 hasn't ever worked and I get the same error message as everyone else.

I've been able to install the mods and get the game to work without it - so how essential is 4.0?

It's mostly important for online play. I'm not exactly sure which files it updates, but if you can get it, you should. Did you try the "patch_ead.exe" version? I believe that's for the download version. If that doesn't work, try the other version. If both don't work, there's a post on this forum where the files were uploaded as a zip, but I can't recall where. You'd have to search for it.

Cool, thanks - I won't worry too much about it then.

Thanks so much for this. I have a PS4 but recently started playing some RPGs on my off-the-shelf Toshiba laptop. I need sports and remembered that I'd purchased Madden 08 from Amazon back in 2014. This modding guide will certainly help get my game updated with current rosters so I can get a nice franchise going on my laptop.

Due to the fact that new users cannot PM or download attachments until they have posted, I included a link to the "Introduce Yourself" thread in the first post.

If you want to upload it to a site that isn't MediaFire, I'll replace the link.

For reasons I prefer not to disclose, I am not able to do that right now.

I can, however, upload it to this site. I don't know if that will help, but here it is:

Go ahead and remove your attached file. I downloaded it and will upload it myself.

In the OP there is a link for the game patches. I was wondering what the difference was between the patch.exe and patch_ead.exe?

The second one is, I believe, for the download version. I am however uncertain.
