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

[jeremym480]

I plan on starting an online CCM with some friends this weekend. After doing some reading, I suppose that the way to go is to use an EA roster update rather than a custom roster due to the depth chart resetting. Also tell them to not edit any of the OL or DL due to the skinny arm glitch. Is this a correct assertion? Is there anything else that I should be aware of?

I'm just getting annoyed as to why I have to keep changing the camera every single game.

No way to change it to standar.... BEFORE a game? Always set on zoomed.

EA needs to start caring about sliders again. They add them to the game but I don't think anyone tests them or listens to those that do care. The pass reaction slider remains broken and after this last patch the human running game is overpowered. The sliders are so weak that I'm now using human run block at 0 and cpu block shedding at 100 on All-Pro. Cranking up the sliders should have a far great effect than it does. Moving one of those sliders 10 points does almost nothing. And special teams sliders need to be split between human and cpu. I'd love to see a few more sliders added and the ones they do have work better.

Honestly this would go a long way in silencing a good number of the complaints the sim-minded players have.

We get that EA isn't going to make the game realistic out of the box because they don't want to frustrate the "casuals". That's fine. Give the "hardcore" players the tools to tune the game. We'll do the heavy lifting. Tendencies, performance and penalty sliders that REALLY work could address an astounding percentage of the complaints that are out there.

Even if the QB did scramble, you are not going to get elite QBs like Rodgers passing realistically. The Coach Mode On needs lots more than just the ability to scramble automatically.

CPU QBs will scramble against you! He was saying his QB doesn't scramble, user QB with Coach Mode On, and they just stand there like robots waiting to be crushed.

Whoops! I misunderstood. Sorry.

Is anyone else having freezing issues since the patch? Ever since the patch I can not even get to the coin toss before the game freezes. Any suggestions?

I'm still here, reading and reporting to our team. I will be back to discuss when I catch up on all the activity.
