Madden NFL 13 Roster Editing Issue Rears Its Ugly Head

The way the roster is saved (naming etc), or simply two different saves. Since everything is connected with the exception of play now, wouldn't be hard to lock out a save.

Now that I think about it, the game could simply check for the right roster like it already does and simply refuse to function if the roster file isn't correct. Wouldn't surprise me at this point.

if Josh doesnt fix this before Aug 28th, Im switching my preorder to Hitman, damn shame I already had $20 on Madden 13 due to trades!

I wouldn't mind having this game pushed back to get this "worked" in.

Any chance this gets "added" before August? (Or via patch after August?)

So in Madden 13 with imports gone no pre/in CC roster edits I can essentially only have one created player in the entire damn mode.... That is not a revolutionary career mode that is several steps backwards and signs of an unfinished mode.

That´s almost my perception...

I do think this new CC mode has everything to make an offline experience epic. Unfortunately, they mismanaged the implementation(imo).

Why? Well, after every interview I heard from Mr. Looman, it´s clear decisions were made(EA loves this phrase) to guarantee a better experience for online users... this would not be a problem, if it was not in detriment of the offline players. It´s true online players got screwed for a long time, but they can´t start a great idea doing the same mistake with the other side.

Some of the things they take out of the game, from what I read here in OS, can really kills an online league. Others, like my favorite(imported classes) were really broken and I would have waited a year without a problem with this new deep mode. One also can make a point edit rating/size during a CC could mess all system(XP, new traits and and ratings like size), but before the start of the CC is really too much to believe. At least with the "run out of time" tired excuse.

Another little thing that really, really bothers me is a system that can be ruined by a simple change of equipment or players numbers...

Oh well...

I agree but the NFL will never let that happen they should just wait for 14 and give us 2 Updates SEPT and FEB to download for free but again the NFL will never allow it

For years the Gaming Community has supplied suggestions w/video's to help utilize their ratings and the manner in which they are programmed to drive animations, to get the most Realistic Gameplay possible. Since being on Next-Gen for 7 yrs now, this valuable information has fallen on "Deaf" ears although they love to use the tag line "We listened to the community" during their marketing hype phase. The Negative response isn't just comming from the OS Forum, it's being voiced from every Gaming Forum and social platform available. "We didn't have time" is simply Horse-pucky because it's already there, it's just "LOCKED" to the gamer. That's right, they've simply chosen to LOCKED it from the gamer. If there was a real/logical issue that would arise from allowing Player Ratings Editing and the possibliltiy of problems on the Infinity Engine, then it wouldn't be available for Play Now games, period!!! It's one thing to force the gaming community to play from the developer's chosen camera angles, but to force gamers to play football from the perspective of "ONE" person is revealing about how they view the Football Gaming Fanbase. Control and Profits!!! I had high praise for the Madden Developement and the introduction of a Physics Based System, but to spend $60 on one man's perspective of football, is just _________! Especially when his roster's has "Always" needed some type of adjusting/editing to make the game play somewhat close to each gamer's perspective of football. I'll rent as always dealing with any EA Sports game, just to see what the Infinity Engine looks like, but without any ability to edit ratings myself within CC, I'm not going to buy off of "Wishfull" thinking knowing it's plain as day what will arise after release. I simply want another developer to take a shot at bringing us some Authentic Football at this point. Just make it Fully Customizable w/out gimmicks, and I'll buy it just cause. Really!!!!

You do realize that it isn't just Donny and he has a team that does ratings right?!?
