Madden NFL 13 Roster Editing Issue Rears Its Ugly Head

07:31 PM - June 11, 2012 by Steve_OS

While most of the Madden NFL 13 news out of E3 seems to be positive, we now have something that could turn into a very big issue. Especially if you enjoy roster editing or use edited rosters created by others.

There seemed to be some confusion about edited rosters. More specifically, if edited rosters could be used in Connected Careers Mode.

I sent a few messages to Justin Dewiel, Community Manager at EA Sports earlier this afternoon and received the following responses.

Quote:


	You can edit rosters outside of CC. But you can�t bring them into CC. If you start a new CCM career after one of Donny Moore�s releases you can start with that new roster.

Basically, we have to rely on Donny Moore's roster updates, throughout the season, instead of grabbing updated rosters from the many talented roster editors out there, or simply editing on our own.

Jean Adams, Art Director for Madden NFL 13, mentioned the following, in his presentation blog, which was posted in late April.

Quote:


	Mixing and matching the new NIKE uniforms, cleats, face masks, sleeves and other yet to be released gear will keep me and many gamers out there in edit player for hours.

Hmmm. I somehow doubt many gamers will be playing around much in edit player, if we can't use the edits in anything other than a Play Now session.

Josh Looman, Madden NFL 13 Senior Designer mentioned on Twitter the following glimmer of hope.

Quote:


	We just ran out of time. It will be in there at some point in the future.

Does he mean Madden NFL 14 or could the Madden NFL 13 team add the editing ability in a Title Update or fix the issue before its August 28th release date? I think I speak for everyone, when I say the sooner, the better.

editing, especially the base roster you take into CC, has a huge impact on gameplay.

I feel confident that EA wouldn't remove features from Madden & NCAA if they had competition.

Between EA removing edited rosters and custom playbooks from Madden, I now plan on renting the game. Those are two HUGE issues for me.

2K had competition and they just removed their entire game.

How am i trolling...its my opinion, i miss the guy who had interaction with the community and not give us vague answers or having to go and find out ish by twitter...he would actually come HERE and give us the lowdown on whats going on...i miss that ╮( ╯_╰ )╭ ...my bad tho, just my opinion, im sure Loomans brilliant direction will peak through...one day, i do believe Mike Young is the right guy...

but i just cnt understand how he could let this slide by..i cant

I understand this sucks for some people, but I have yet to read anywhere that says it'll never come back. Some people are acting as if they just had their johnson removed, never to see it again.

Personally, it's enough to let Looman and Co. know that this is a big enough deal that we want it back ASAP. But it's pretty comical how bent some people get over this. I thought we were all grown men here!

Tell Looman this sucks and make your voice heard, then enjoy Madden 13 for what it is. Enjoy the new physics and the ability to play online with buddies in a more fleshed-out online league with the knowledge you'll get this stuff in Madden 14. Stress will shave years off your lives, gentlemen.

I was 50%- 50% on purchasing the game thanks to the inability to edit during CC. I am now 100% sure that I will save $60. At least the NHL people are not this obtuse.

So we can agree that competition really plays no factor in what gets removed then right?

I posted the idea to bring back custom rosters for CC on the game changers website :http://www.easports.com/gamechangers...mpaignId=27782 everyone needs to go there and vote for it and comment on how badly you want it back.

Roster editing was an enjoyable feature that I think a lot of people used. Even if they just let us fix the equipment & numbers of players I think people would be happier. . Multiple team control is another missing feature. This pretty much leaves people playing on the same console with one option and that's Play Now mode. Everything else you have to do alone Importing draft classes and RTG players is gone as well. It was great to have the ability to use players for four years in NCAA then transfer them over to Madden. This also allowed people with edited rosters in NCAA to get actual college players in the Madden games. My personal favorite feature couch co-op is gone. I've been playing Franchise mode in Madden for as long as I can remember and the best part was playing couch co-op games with friends and family members. I'm not denying that Madden has added some nice new features, but they've taken away some great ones in the process.

Was gonna give Madden a chance this year and was excited about it but i'll pass once again since we can only use 1 team in Connected careers and can't even edit the players. No thanks.

Telling everyone to get over it and buy Madden? Yeah, go away.

That is correct my LA friend.

I'm sure they'll do like the NCAA team did and patch it in. Hopefully it won't be the total disaster like it was with NCAA 12.

His post actually made me laugh out loud, which is why I liked it. But his post was to make the point that competition and removal of features are not directly correlated. The post I quoted of yours brought up the comparison of Madden with the "other game"

Just didn't want to see this turn into another back-and-forth regardless of who started it.

Moving on

WOW!

whose stupid *** idea was this? WTF makes them think Madden is a 1 player game???

ok hold, let me calm down.

what if i made my Franchise an online franchise. could we play a 2 player franchise that way even though we are on the same console?

im getting this for the 360 so couldnt we take advantage of the fact that u can sign in with 2 different profiles?

This just sealed the deal for me.....

No Madden 13 because i like to edit stuff that i feel is broken or screwed up with EA Default rosters/ratings.

Sliders alone don't fix some of the flaws so this is a major dissapointment for me.

If i spend $60 bucks on their game i should be able to edit and play my franchise/dynasty any way i damn well please offline.

If i don't want to play a season with current NFL teams i shouldn't be forced to do so by EA.

Enjoyed Madden 12 was the best Madden in like 6 years IMO....but I'm not a online gamer so this CCM thing does nothing for me. Will be sticking with NCAA 13 all year now.
