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.

And look what happened when they patched it in in NCAA 12. It broke several things.

I bet this is done for the simple fact that we will have to buy the game each year for up to date rosters. It has to be something more than just "we ran out of time." Whatever the case, I'll be buying NCAA 13 this year and editing every player to a tee for each teams roster. While the rest of the suckers that buy Madden will be stuck wondering why they got suckerd into buying the game in the first place. If anyone is interested, I'll be making NCAA rosters for PS3 this year starting June 10th. This will be the first year I do it. I did not share it since I basically edited Luvtotha9s roster. This year I'll be starting from scratch with a great, great eye for attention to detail. I'll be posting more and updates in the NCAA 13 roster forums here on OS. Stay Posted!

Don't count on it this year. I don't think they'll cave to the pressure like with the start pad.

Idk man... All it seems like is a menu n NCAA did it last year

Madden moved around the scoreboard and honestly all we want is for them to feel our wrath and then they will either do it... Or show us how it is too much coding for it

This is freaking stupid. I don't want a stupid fake twitter feature in CC that is all filled with usernames that are EA related. That's another thing quit putting EA on everything!

I agree regarding editing and real players, but numbers and equipment at least for me, will always bothers...

Numbers and equipment are my big issues too. I can live without ratings, but I can't live with signing a veteran and not being able to give him his number. I can't live with the big retired numbers being used.

I Started A Facebook group Madden 13 with a pic of Madden 94 to symbolize their NEW CC Mode

# 133 StL_RamZ @ 06/11/12 11:56 PM

I don't need to edit ratings I just need equipment and Jersey numbers...

... and I have no doubt it will happen. A big name in your team or in another with a different number because is attacked to a inexpressive player.

Did you see the pics and the amount of details in the prospects they have made for CC? Now, you draft that rookie you scouted all year and(in my case a beastly MLB) you can�t put the number you like or a black visor?

I can�t remember the last Madden that I didn�t draft a monster at the middle and put the number/equipment I wanted and played with him until he retire.

This is unreal...will be the first year that I can remember where I won't be buying Madden or NCAA. I'm glad I have other games that can keep me entertained.

He's Lead and set the Standards/Thresholds to follow.

I'm quite sure it's not a bunch of Dev-heads rating as they see fit.

Just don't see them debating each Dev's perspective on what such-n-such player should be rated within the "Short Window" they always say they're under.

So in essence, his perspective as the Crowned Guru for rosters is what is released as Default Rosters.

Again, not a bash, but just wording the history of Default Rosters the best way can.

# 137 at23steelers @ 06/12/12 12:06 AM

Could it be because with this system it's hard for all the online players to use the same roster of yours and equipment?? Not sure why commish couldn't just start with his own roster though. Makes sense though that online gamers can't edit their guys roster and ratings within CC, or be using a different roster than everyone else in their league. This should definitely be an offline feature this year though.

@at23steelers ncaa already allows for custom rosters for online dynasty.

That's what I have heard from Steve Noah, but maybe this system it'd be tougher to accomplish. Still, either way, there's no reason that it shouldn't be a feature in offline mode though!!

To the people saying push the release date back, do you realize how many MORE people will be pissed off about that then to edit players...?
