Im seeing conflicting answers here. Can someone answer this Q who knows the answer first hand:

Can I play coach mode on offline ccm w/broadcast view?
Can I play CPU v CPU offline w/CCM?

If answer yes to any one of the Q's, which system are u using?

Thanks for your time in advance.

Depends on what you expect from Coach Mode. In Madden 13 Coach Mode simply means that if you do not take control of your quarterback after hiking, then he will pass the ball automatically. A QB rushing only happens on called QB run plays.

Auto-QB mode works in offline CCM, and Online CCM when hum vs cpu but NOT hum vs hum. Broadcast view is available but not exclusive.

How can you play cpu vs cpu when that means no human, but if you mean can you watch the cpu play cpu, no, you can not.

I am using the PS3 but this information is the same on both systems.

You're welcome.

I'm posting this here instead of in the schemes thread, so I hope it has a better chance being expedited into a patch...

Essentially, the scheme fixes from October are useless. They work only insofar as the they affect the desire of players with matching schemes into signing with your team. However, the fact that changing defensive or offensive schemes doesn't adjust the position allocations (the 49ers will have 2 MLBs and 1 DT on defense no matter what) is a HUGE problem, IMO. I simulate a majority of the games in CCM, only playing 4 or 5 games a season. I tried changing from 3-4 to 4-3, and to no avail, since when simulate games the resulting statistics pretty much confirm that my team employs 2 MLBs and 1 DT.

I've reached 20 years in my CCM and I consider this a deal breaker in considering whether or not to continue playing. I REALLY want to keep playing but, after 20 years, I've blown up my defense in hopes of creating a true 4-3 defense.

The "scheme" is in essence determined by the playbook. Change to a 3-4 or 4-3 playbook and you will be running that D even when the "depth chart" appears schemed for the wrong D. Your 2nd MLB on the depth chart will be your LILB and your 2nd DT will be your R/LT respectively.

No, it won't look pretty, but your team will be the respective type D of the playbook.

At this point I can use work arounds and deal with most issues in Madden 13. The one thing I would really like fixed now is the pass reaction slider. It needs to actually work and affect coverage. The cpu passing game on All-Pro just isn't very good. I'd love to be able to loosen my coverage up to allow them to make more plays. It would be very easy to do that if we had a coverage slider that worked.

Is there any chance we get another patch around christmas maybe? Fixing some bugs and the pass reaction slider a said above?

I would like them to fix the deph chart tuat it always shows the same player ratings, now the deph charts rating in game are differend then in the personnel screen.

You also cant see the player goals for the rolb and lolb

And ofcourse fix the team playbooks change the all the start to 0 or 1 that would really improve the game.

Any chance a such a patch
