People complained about those changes just like they're complaining about these.

The chinese firedrill that was free agency bidding was a joke. So was scouting. Roster filling with scrub players that the cpu teams kept as depth, more garbage.

Gibbs and Farls provide valuable information on how to fix glitches and nano blitzes in the game. You guys would be surprised to see what they uncovered the many days and hours they spent in the studio.

any way we can get CPU play calling adjusted? if you watched week one, and pretty much all last season you'll notice teams throwing the ball like crazy [vick 56 times yesterday!] and in madden it seems 50/50 balanced, or possibly even 60/40 run. i think teams [esp. like Packers, Saints, Lions etc.] need to be 70/30 pass

i played a game 8min qrts 15secs after acc. clock agaisnt the packers and rodgers only threw 16 times and they ran with starks about 25 times. <-- this needs to be fixed

go ahead and lay out the cold hard facts about which system has limitations that has held the current generation back for years

Sure, they were just as disappointed by some things not being in, but they also understand where we're going.

I am sorry people get all wound up and emotional over your product. We all want to see improvement devs and players both and without a doubt CCM is a great building block there are many features of it that I like and see as positives.

The problem is it is unplayable for anyone who has a basic understanding of football play calling. The CPU does not perform close to the level as it does in Play Now with the exact same difficulty and sliders. Countless people on the Slider forum have worked on solutions and no one has found anything concrete to get the CPU to be competitive. In Play Now it is very competitive and the game plays GREAT. I realize CCM is a little different with things such as DPP but honestly it is more than that. The CPU plays very poorly and has awful decision making to the point it ruins the game. What is the point of building so many great features such as the draft, play progression and the frontend when the moment you enter a game it plays terribly? That is the frustrating part I WANT to enjoy it but I cant. It's like getting coal for christmas. We have a pretty big thread with mountains of evidence I made and yet EA has not responded to it despite reaching out in many ways including twitter.

We just want the AI to perform the same in CCM as they do in Play Now. The people begging for editing in CCM or Fantasy Drafts are missing the point. If that stuff gets patched in but the AI remains pitiful I don't think I and a lot of others will be so optimistic to purchase Madden 14. Please at least look into this and consider prioritizing it for a gameplay patch. You don't owe us anything but the truth is we WANT to enjoy your game and spend more time playing less time whining we just can't at the present time. Thank you for reaching out to the community here and enjoy the football season!

This is not only a concern by me, but I think I can confidently say this a major concern of the community. Sliders are a very important part of the game for those who like to modify it to their liking. In CCM, it seems the sliders do not work properly. I would like to ask that EA please evaluate how the CPU performs in CCM. Please take a look at tuning the CPU running backs so they perform as they did in the demo. Also evaluate the end of game clock management by the CPU. I know there is no need to go into detail on these things, as you have most likely already been informed of the issues. I beg of the developers to please take a look at these things. Thanks!

This!!! Great post!!!
