See, its stuff like this that makes no sense to me because if for the last decade the game has allowed position editing, why wouldnt Tiburon/EA make sure that regardless of what they're changing/fixing/building, it would still be possible to edit positions?

To me, EA/Tiburon causes all these problems and complaints themselves by not staying with the basics and keeping the stuff that they know everyone wants in the game to begin with.

I would love to know if Tiburon/EA could have just left franchise mode, etc. in the game while still allowing the Infinity Engine for gameplay because if so, thats what they should have done.

And please tell Tiburon/EA to bring back Mini-Camp. That was so much fun to play and accomplishes the same thing as what the XP system is supposed to be. Only difference is that I'll actually play Mini-Camp where as those practice scenarios dont even get looked at by me.

Time. They introduced a whole new mode to Madden. Since Madden is a yearly title, they at the time likely realized that the pros of developing a brand new mode with new features outweighed the ability to edit players. I'm also guessing they would have LOVED to implement player editing with the new CCM and XP features, but simply did not have time to properly tune the logic to do so. It will probably be in 14.

Love it or hate it, Madden being a yearly title makes it difficult to innovate without sacrificing old features. ESPECIALLY since Playstation/Xbox have limited resources to work with. Making cutting even more necessary. I would guess that if Madden was PC-only, they would be able to do much more.

They work within the limitations of an extreme time-frame (yearly) with the additional limitations of having to cater to the limitations of console resources.

I wish Madden would just come out every two years, with a 10 dollar paid roster update for the between years or something. That way they could have the time to develop an innovative title with fewer "cons".

But that's just me.

If it doesnt fix CPU playcalling....then it really does not matter to me. Game will be sold.....anyone know whether it does or not?

Madden right now has gone dusting...been replaced by basketball, and I don't even like basketball that much!! I will try out the patch, but what can we really expect from EA, really? I mean its ultimately my fault, I am the one buying the game first day! I need to have more control...LOL

From a gamer's prospective, that would be great, from a stockholders perspective, not so great.

Practice is very boring. At the very least you should be playing 1st team offense against 1st team defense - not some generic scrubs off the street with no names.

While unrealistic Madden should let you play the Madden moments during your season for fun practice scenarios. It would keep it a lot fresher and more varied. Heck bring back the bowling and tug of war mini games NCAA used to have. Or the Oklahoma drill. At least those were fun.

After the patch will All madden in CCM still have the user sliders at 50 or will it be put at 25 like in Play Now?
