Raymond has his eyes on Stafford the entire time. Once Stafford releases the ball, with Raymond still watching so he knows where the ball is going at this point, he still turns and runs with the wrong receiver.

It wouldn't be a problem if Raymond wasn't staring Stafford down, but the fact that he should know exactly where the ball is going because he's waiting for Stafford to make the first move is what, IMO, makes this a huge problem.

Raymond should of broke to the outside of the receiver since he was watching Stafford until he released the ball.

Frisk,

Please communicate to them the desire to have a formation substitutions feature like in the past. The current in-game variant is limited. This would enable people to set their special teams rosters anyway they choose, strategically create defensive lineman rotations etc etc.

Thanks.

Can you tell us if we'll have more depth chart flexibility with the update? For example, the Chiefs LS is listed as a TE on the depth chart, but once you start a CC you can only use guards and centers as long snappers.

There seems to be a user glitch where wr and db are in position for catch but no animation kicks in they just come to a full stop or ball smacks guy in face or hands ..Frisk any idea within the patch this gets fixed

This is for online and offline CCM?

Just another reason why the decision to combine the online and offline modes was a bad one. Why everything from offline to online and superstar to franchise had to be combined into one mode still doesn't make sense to me. Seriously, how many people are out there running superstar mode and a coach within a franchise?

And if I play offline why can't I do whatever I want? It's my game that I paid $60 for. Whatever I do doesn't affect anyone else. Heck, I couldn't even use my last name because it was too close to a filtered word.

Dude, I gotta say this is a pretty big misstep.
Position changes happen all the time, ESPECIALLY from OLB to DE and CB to SS/FS and vice versa for the former and the latter.
Not to mention if you are going to have Trey, during the draft, talk about how a rookie DE may project better as an OLB... I mean, c'mon.

Actually, it was the only thing they did right. What you aren't realizing is that if you keep 2 separate modes, you have to make code changes in two different places and you end up with twice the code. It makes advancement and maintenance nearly impossible and allows for many more potential bugs. You are saying this is wrong because you only care about offline. There should be no issue with you simply playing a connected CCM by yourself. The reason why you are upset is because there are missing features (understandably). However, that is due to the fact that the feature was unfinished. Had they actually finished it first, you wouldn't be citing the fact that they merged the modes because everything you care about would be there. Those of us who play in online league CCMs are missing TONS of things we had before as well. It's not just the "offline" guys. People need to stop with this online vs. offline crap. If you think for one second that the development for Madden has been catering online players, you are gravely mistaken. Online has seen little to no advancement in many years. This year is no different. CCM is brand new, and it has just as many problems with the online version as the offline, it has nothing to do with "abandoning the offline crowd".
