I can understand limiting some of the things you talk about but if you do promise to report back I think it's only fair that you actually do.

Thats because we are still looking into it. I will report back when I have something to report. Would you prefer that I post every week that we are still looking into it?

Some posters thought it was confirmed that coach mode would be similar to NCAA and when coach mode appeared in the patch, it was similar to prior coach mode's in Madden.

Its not a traditional coach mode. We were unable to put a complete coach mode in, but were able to allow users to select a play and watch as a coach.

Auto-subs were supposed to be addressed but if they are not I will pass this on to the team.

We are still looking into play calling but I am unsure if it can be addressed in Madden 13.

As far as gameplay I would leave it alone since i have no confidence that another patch wont mess things up.I say move on to 14 get that game correct since every change EA is making is making the game worse and not even addressing the major faults anyway.

What are the major faults in your opinion? I know there are some big issues that people are pissed about but I want to know your opinion.

I'm sorry but I don't think this is truthful. Whether or not you will fix it is one thing. Acknowledging there is a problem is another which EA hasn't done at all.

It's well documented that this is an issue. It's been documented since late August, more than two months ago. How can you guys still be looking into it and have NOTHING to report? Either you think it's a problem or you don't by now. Either you guys are going to fix it or you won't.

We know its a problem and are looking into fixing but it is not likely for M13.

No offense man, I'm sure you work hard.....but we're really tired of this "next year" stuff.

For some of us, we dont buy this game every year. I haven't bought Madden in 3-4 years because it just hasn't been good to me, and this year was finally supposed to be when it all came together. Now days it seems like EA hypes the game up like its the absolute best installment yet....then it comes out and we get the "Ehh, we'll do/fix that for next year" two months into the shelf life of the game.

I dont expect a perfect game, but even back in the PS2 days, the little things that seem to trip the game up so much this gen, seemed to be less of an issue.

All we really want is consistency. If something works fine one year, it should slightly tweaked for improvement, or just left alone the next year....instead we continually get things that work fine one year, then are broken the next year.

It's like a dog chasing it's tail but we're paying $65 dollars for it.

Sometimes a small tweak is enough to change everything, I get your point though. I would like to Madden get back to the Gen 2 glory days myself.
