Madden NFL 13 Title Update #2 Available Now (Updated to Include Full Details)

I've read conflicting reports on this, so can anyone tell me if the coaching schemes save in Offline CCM with the patch?

First, will acting like a brat help bring this game to be better any quicker? Second, will it matter in a thousand years? Perspective and reality are important to life.

Not a brat just a paying customer that really didnt get what i paid for and if its not important why are you on here commenting?

2 quick questions after patch:


1- Can you change CAMS in Offline Franchise mode now?

2- Can you randomly PLAY ANY GAME from the schedule and/or play out the entire Playoffs and Superbowl now in Franchise MODE? (This was something I really enjoyed doing in previous Maddens and NCAA games)

To try to get things change, not throw a tantrum because things are not perfect. I assure you those devs and employees that do monitor the forums ignore people who ignore perspective and reality. You said you disagreed with "not acting like brats" so...thus the response. I just want a good game, and I don't want them to abandon it because they see that they can never please everyone. We need as many people who are realistic and polite as possible to the game to get things changed.

Not sure why many are intrigued and questioning if the option to forcefully start your player in CCM was there before, it was the only thing EA clearly stated was done in the patch description. Read the first post, mystery solved...

They added a minor feature but failed to address any of the larger features(CCM) or normal functions such as tracking tackles and saving settings that are currently broken. I'm glad many of us were waiting for this patch to start our CCM. They didn't touch any glitches in offline CCM.

I guess I'll wait till November for the next patch, or be done with EA's let down considering 2K is putting out a complete and functioning game in 3 weeks.

Gameplay is an absolute and complete upgrade this year, awesome if you only run Play Now games. The rest is broke and EA is in no hurry to fix.

Where looking into it that's all we been hearing blah blah blah stop talking and start doing it.I'm sorry thats hot garbage.

Every sports game gets patches 1-2 months after launch to tighten up gameplay/issues that require you to restart your franchise mode anyway. Every game, every year. You should assume it and save yourself the annoyance. They have already said they are looking at a few major things. It takes time they have families and deadlines. Many people have been productive and written at length about the problems we want to see fixed and reach out to the devs and community managers on twitter and they have gotten our feedback. If they do nothing with it then I see an issue but they haven't even had a chance to do anything with it yet. I feel that many people are being unreasonable.

I just think you are stressing yourself out over something you can't control. Enjoy the football games and in sometime in October with better rosters and a gameplay patch or two we can all enjoy the glory of Madden 13.

I am patient and know that patches take 2 weeks to be certified/tested by Sony/MS AFTER they are completed but one thing I don't understand is the Gameplay Tuners they introduced a year or two ago which they have said would let them tune things without needing to go through the patching process. I believe NHL 13 already has a gameplay tuner out. It would be nice to see them do something about improving the CPU offense or physics engine with this but nothing yet.

Therefore I guess you can say the running has improved as well. All the floppy/falling stuff that would make people laugh if they were watching you play seems to have gone away as well. Game seems to play much tighter in that respect. The IE is obviously still at play here, but it goes back to more animations now instead of floppyness (is that a word?) everywhere on the field. I've only played two complete games so that's all I can say for sure right now. No you don't.

Sounds great, thanks Bolt.

I see people mentioning one of the "fixes" in Online CCM was better CPU playcalling ... I'm assuming that was included in this patch? If so, that's a big plus for me.
