Madden NFL 13 CCM Will Not Allow You to Play Other Games on the Schedule, Only Yours

04:33 PM - June 12, 2012 by Steve_OS

Because I have been asked about this via Twitter and email so often, I wanted to make sure people were aware.

Justin Dewiel, Community Manager for EA Sports, just confirmed via Twitter (just follow the timeline), if you coach a team, you can no longer play other games on the schedule, only the game(s) on your own schedule.

For example. Rgiles asked if he could coach the Cowboys in CCM, but play the Patriots vs. Browns game.

Justin stated that it is not possible, because CCM is based around you and your character (coach or player).

I just can't see, even considering the past options and features that weren't added, how anyone could feel M13 will not likely be the best one this gen. So I am a little surprised to see people that have bought every next-gen Madden or most of them, state they won't be getting this one.

You've played it?? O.o...the full game??

I wonder the impact of Ian Cummmings leaving was bigger than we thought?

I'll still be picking up Madden 13, but I'm disappointed that they left out so many features. My biggest complaint is that there is no couch co-op. I have been playing Franchise mode in Madden for 10+ years and my favorite part was always playing on the same teams with my family and friends. I can't that this feature, plus many other ones, that have been in Madden and other sports titles for several years are completely absent from Madden 13.

As for it being the best Madden of the generation we'll have to wait to find out. I hope everything they're putting in works perfectly, but this wouldn't be the first time a Madden game looked great in May/June only to disappoint in August.

Madden 13 seems to be like an inside joke, because I consider myself smart, and I don't get the punchline. I mean how can you not make sure Madden 13 had at least what Madden 12 had? This early backlash is once again at the feet of EA. Lack of communicating to your consumer base. How well did head coach sell, and if it were so great why did it take so long to make a sequel?

This news just wrote in stone Madden 13 being a rental for me.

Being a fan of the entire league, I'm going to miss out on the option of playing whatever game I choose each week. Everyone has their favorite feature, I guess that one is mine. Never thought I'd see the game regress to this point.

I know the entire videogame industry is guilty of releasing incremental builds as new games, but the Madden series really feels like it's become a mere preview for the following year's game.

Can't say I'm disappointed, as my hopes and joys don't hinge on these types of things, but it really says a lot about the state of the industry right now and why I play games less these days. When you have a flagship title sputtering along so pathetically, it makes it very easy to turn attentions elsewhere.

lol, wow, EA! This Connected Careers garbage better be the second-coming of Football Greatness. I guess it's better that they do it now instead of when the next-gen systems come around. Now they have zero excuses for when the PS4/Xbox1000 comes out. You've already laid the ground work for your horrible sounding game mode.

# 190 tite50 @ 06/12/12 10:46 PM

Well I guess we should wait n see,I mean I really like what they've done in this cycle,u think the Ian and co.would have made this big a leap in one year. I'm not sure,I mean it was only 11 or twelve were u could edit attributes in franchise.And I get not editing the attributes in CC because of XP,but I love changing my guys gear every few games to keep stuff fresh,Im always the cowboys so I never do anything for other teams.but I think they'll have to give us at least editing gear n stuff in CC in a patch. But let's not throw the baby out with the bath water....YET,

Ian was only the lead frm 10 -12 if im not mistaken...i thought his team made some pretty huge steps compared to 06-09 but they also had some horrible misteps to, overall i thought they were ok...they NEVER did anything to send the community up into a uproar like this...they knew better imo

Welp, that does it. I'm tired of being kicked around as an offline gamer. I will not purchase Madden 13. Easiest money-saving decision I've made in a while.

# 193 PackerBacker123 @ 06/12/12 10:59 PM

Like someone else said, scrap CC, get rid of live tweeter feeds, get rid of xp, get rid of legends (this one is tough). And just let me edit players and play other games in my league. THANK YOU COME A'GAIN.

This reminds me of my buddy that would tell his wife outrageous lies when he got home from being out cheating and she always believed them but the one time he wasn't out cheating, just hanging out with me, when he gets home tells her where he was, she is convinced he is lying and was out cheating. lol That's what it seems like for M13, with gamers that have been buying what I feel has been a subpar product this gen, that hasn't particularly done anything well but now that the game adds RTP and a seemingly immersive CCM, allegedly modeled after HC09, now they want to scream foul. lol

Well with Madden we can't cheat since this is the only NFL game in town... lol

I'm an offline gamer looking forward to playing in one of the OL leagues here at OS. I don't use those features that are being left out in M13.

However, I will support the folks that use these features and hope they get put back in asap.

I can understand how these folks feel and they have a right to complain.

The only sliver of a silver lining is at least we are finding out upfront and not after purchasing the game. Wow, I can't imagine if this info was kept at bay until after release. Still, not a good situation to be facing.

By the way, I don't think they will scrape CC after putting two yrs of work into it.

# 197 tizorch @ 06/12/12 11:08 PM

Just cancelled my pre-order.

Offline gamer here as well, have you really never needed to change a number or facemask?

I haven't ever. But I don't care about that stuff, but I understand that others do, so I will support the cause to bring it back.
