I no longer have a Gold LIVE account ... is it required to download the patch updates? Thanks!

Unfortunately, it looks as if changing schemes will not be available for already started Connected Careers. I just received a reply back from my tweet...

Sorry, just realized I so did not answer your question :\ sorry again.

You didnt answer my question, but I see where youre coming from.
I like to have my backups play some and the way that Madden handles fatigue and Auto-subs, it does not help me accomplish what I want.

So Formation subs is the way to go. I do about 10-15 formation subs every game and that usually takes at least 4-5 full downs on defense because of the timer, and nearly a whole drive on offense just subbing my RB in and out in different formations. And thats because I've gotten good at doing them so friggen fast since I have to do it EVERY game. Its very time consuming and quite irritating

Am I doing something wrong here?

Other issues, Eli Manning a 91, Drew Brees a 90, Aaron Rodgers a 94, Tom Brady 93, but Gronk is a 94. Darren Sproles a 66?

I just went into the edit menu of Tyron Smith, didn't edit anything, exited and sure enough get to the game and he's just like my two drafted guards. So it's not a draft issue or player issue, it's an edit issue. I would think it'd be best to put a warning out there to not attempt to edit any offensive linemen for fear of the glitch showing up. Once you enter the edit menu for offensive linemen, it somehow automatically resets their appearance traits to 0 and you can't change them back. It has happened to me in both online and offline CCMs. So beware, I suppose.

If it's too late and you already entered the editing screen for an OL/DL guy, can you somehow delete the patch and re-download it? I have the downloadable version of the game. I suppose I could delete it and reinstall Madden from scratch? You guys think that would work?

That's a preseason depth chart bug, not a gameplay one. The "punter" in that situation is actually the kicker, and the 6 yard punt is him playing to his (punting) rating.

Calling it a punt glitch can be a little confusing because there's also the one where the returner moves out of the way after calling for fair catch.

oh, p.s. Defensive players not showing up in season stats is still there (or not there), can't remember if that was specifically mentioned in patch notes but for those of us that thought it might be in the "other issues" fixed part...nope.

I've only seen one post on wind direction...anyone confirmed whether that was an "other" little fix not specifically noted in the patch?
