Madden NFL 13 Title Update #3 Arrives October 16th, Edit CCM Rosters and More

[reyes the roof]

So can I start editing a custom roster to use in CCM now, so that it's ready when the patch comes out Tuesday, or do I need to wait until until the patch comes out for the CCM roster to become editable?

hello all,

something's bugging me. i can't help but think that a lot of what we ask for just isn't possible. problem with that is, we, as fans, have no way of knowing what is possible. would it be detrimental for ea to make a post and say, hey guys, a lot of great suggestions, but simply put, ideas x y and z are just not possible due to technical limitations. or they could say we could add idea w but then we'd have to take out ideas k d and j because they conflict.

am i missing something (besides a shift key ) or just not getting it? maybe knowing what the limitations are would limit our discussion? i don't know, it just seems like there are a lot of posts, i mean a LOT of posts about what could be absolutely meaningless ideas because they may not even be implementable. not trying to sound hopeless, i just wish we could be more educated on what is within the realm of possibility so that we could actually be helpful, or know we were helpful in our posts because i know we all care!!!

hmm, guess i'll google how to make a playstation game and see what's out there....toodles

I'm a software developer and at my company we have a saying, "Given enough time and money, anything is possible."

Basically nothing is "impossible" per say, but it is just a matter of how much time and effort EA is willing to put into certain ideas, which in turn would be taking time away from other areas, etc. To try and make a list would be impossible, because EA doesn't even know what they are capable of until they actually get down to implementing it. This is why EA rarely commits to anything, honestly, they just don't know. That's how software is, unfortunately.

3/4 of posts deal with stuff that was IN THE GAME ALREADY. Features present five to seven years ago we miss now.

VERY FEW posts deal with completely NEW ideas.

That is what's so sad.

Everything we've asked for the past 8 years in terms of gameplay has been represented in past football games, a lot of the times, including Madden.

Maybe answered (sorry, I didn't read 93 pages) - does editing player equipment and "information" mean we can edit jersey #'s??

Yes.

I know it's been said in this thread before, but I take it from Emmdot's silence on the subject that they have indeed left CPU Playcalling untouched.

This is a huge bummer to me because it makes the game almost unplayable when I play the Patriots and Danny Woodhead has almost 40 carries on a regular basis. Not only does it make the CPU predictable and easy to beat, it is flat out unrealistic.
