[Cavicchi]

Is this same as old coach mode (QB) or a new version? Can User controlled QBs with Coach Mode On scramble?

I don't care about Bull Griggs, in fact I find it comical that EA would think anyone would. One of the greatest aspects was being able to import draft classes into Madden from NCAA, thus increasing replay value. My only question is if we cannot edit draft classes, what is the thought process behind it? Do you think people want to be told how to play a game offline, or do you not want your grand idea of scripted drafts thrown out?

Josh Looman has mentioned many times that this is something we want in Madden, it just wasn't ready to be properly implemented into Madden NFL 13.

My hypothesis is they don't want cheesers (God did I really just use that word) turning online CCM to a fiasco by making Mark Barron a DT and Aaron Rodgers a WR. But that's all I can come up with. Seems like the schemes and such should be able to still function.

This is just something that wasn't ready for Connected Careers. A lot of things change on the backend when a player changes positions. There are also things that could be used as exploits (i.e. changing a player position to gain XP, and then switching back after the game). When the team can devise a way to implement this realistically and efficiently we will see it in Madden.

The only thing you will have to restart your Connected Career for is custom roster import. Everything else will happen retroactively

Multiplayer in the sense that you and another can play with eachother on the same console. You cannot control different teams in the same Connected Career without retiring and changing teams.

It's not usually this bad, but the amount of plays the CPU runs in sim is what is KILLING the realism of the statistics. I would hope this can be addressed in a tuner, but it needs to be addressed. I appreciate all of EA's hard work with this upcoming patch, but as it is every year, the simulation statistics need some serious attention.

How long are the quarters in which you are super simming the game?

Once you have started your Connected Career you cannot edit names of players.

Just wanted to quote this so it gets responded to by Emm. I know what Dewiel stated, just want a second confirmation from a different EA source.
