Madden NFL 13 Title Update #3 Available Now, Post Your Impressions (360, PS3)

[Trot2millah]

are you still unable to edit the fake rookie names? that you get after the first season. since i know getting actual draft classes out of the question, i would at least like to turn "highest drafted RB ____" into "marcus lattimore" etc

nope its still broken...and zone coverage has received no upgrades. EA never fixes gameplay..only their gimmicky features.

OVR is an evaluation of that player based on your scheme. Each scheme will weight certain things higher/lower as they, as a whole, will place different demands on players and their abilities.

If you have a cannon-armed QB and you run a run-heavy, high-percentage passing offense, that cannon won't get to show off as much.

Likewise if I have a great corner "overall" but he's a bit lesser in zone coverage and I'm planning a Cover 2 system, his OVR should drop.

But, ultimately, it doesn't matter what the OVR is because it's the skills that will matter. If that CB has a 89 ZCV, he's still going to be solid, regardless of what his OVR shows as in the interface.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but punt return blocking seems vastly improved. First game post patch, I managed to return one 79 yards for aTD. Never even came close to breaking one before.

Nope...online play will continue to be offensive shootouts. Zone is a ***.. and if you dont have elite corners....an elite madden player will torch you.

Reread what he said. He made a player 99 in every category.

Anyone find a fix to the skinny arms/body glitch yet?

I find it funny that all the people complaining about the editing players glitches.

THIS IS WHY IT WASN'T IN THE GAME FROM THE START.

It's not really a skinny arm glitch. More of a skinny body glitch. The skinny arms in the edit screen is just an indicator it is going to happen, (keep in mind that the skinny arms are sometimes size 10 arms) but to answer your question, no.

I have been working on it and there doesn't seem to be a work around, other than just don't edit Offensive and Defensive linemen.
Don't edit anything on them or their information and, just to be safe, don't even go into their edit screens, although that is just a precaution as numerous trials have shown that as long as you don't hit the "accept & continue" button, the glitch does not take effect.

All other positions are unaffected by the ON FIELD aspect of the glitch, BUT if you edit a QB the arm size will drop to 0 or jump to 10 upon entrance into the edit screen so if you do make changes, you need to readjust the arms to an appropriate size. It is not a permanent change like the O/D-lineman though, so you can go back in at anytime and change the size back.
