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).

Yet another example of people who are not helping to further the conversation.

My problem is...what we are asking in terms of realism is mainly gameplay and presentation...when you get into a franchise mode...some things should be left up to the users own creativity...the user should be able to have his own little "utopia" of the NFL as he sees it...thats the great thing about video games..it takes you out the reality of your life...and enables you to create something different outside of it for those 1-3 hrs you are playing it...

If everything has sooo real, how come they dont let you wait 5 years to enter the HOF???...so obviously getting everything completely "real" isnt a 100% of their agenda...they want you to have a creative fun factor also..problem is thar certain features that were made for creation and add to that fun factor was taking out...so it ruins the game for ppl who depended on those features for years to make the game enjoyable to them...

No other game does this, i think ppl have a right to complain, whine, or whatever it may be....atleast for a month or 2 loll

On this point, I completely see the reasoning behind that. If you play as a player through 13 or 15 years, and then you have a 5 year gap between that player's retiring and his HoF entrance, what do you do in that 5 years?

Chances are, you take over a coach or player and in 5 seasons time, you'll have forgotten about your player to the point that when you hit the 5 year mark, your bond to your original player or coach is broken and this becomes an afterthought.

I think. Sounds right in my head.

I already knew why they did it like that...i agree with it, but its still not realistic no matter the reasoning...ppl were saying "why complain, when they're making everything realistic" my point is their not...and i gave one example on how it isnt.

everything you just explained is actually in agreement with my post....

Hah would of been fun to watch the games late in the season if a dude was close to breaking your All-Time Single season Records so you can root against that SOB in Real Time

Lol who's idea was it to destroy half the reason people buy their game? They removed offline co-op? What the **** made them think that was a great idea?

If I were a Jaguars fan I'd be worried. Seems like EA is willing to cut anything from the game these days.

I was really excited to buy this game. I'm glad I found out this information, or I'd have wasted my money.

# 471 niggarachi @ 06/17/12 01:10 AM

I'm still gonna buy this game, but. It really sucks that you can't use the draft classes from NCAA. I like to babe the actual rookies who would be coming out of college imported into madden. Franchise playability may take a bit without that feature for me. Not being able to play other games with other teams doesn't. Really affect me. That's not something that I do. But I feel for those wh are troubled by this. Connected careers can no doubt be a dynamic feature with proper implementation of certain features and bringing back features such as player editing, multiplayer offline franchise, import draft classes , etc. Im mstill looking forward to this ears game buthopefuy they can overhaul gameplay mechanics and momentum. Perfect the infinity engine

Oddly, I think it is game play in which EA will deliver this year, at the expense of several other things players want.

# 476 jjoneshbk @ 06/17/12 09:26 PM

I rarely post here, I'm entertained enough with alot that I read anyways but wow...wow EA. I try not to bash, I try not to kick dirt on any game before playing it myself. Let's think about this for a second though. Gaming has evolved astronomically over its lifetime, and the one concept that ALL successful franchises you can think of have realized is, player control brings appeal.I've said this for years and I think most here and in the gaming world in general would agree..when it comes to gaming:

"Options are ALWAYS..the best option.."

# 477 CT Pitbull @ 06/17/12 10:10 PM

this is the silliest thing to eliminate because honestly ..whats the difference if a game is played or simulated??? there are going to be stats either way ..one team will lose and one team will win unless its a tie.. so why cant we play it ????

UN-FRIGGIN-BELIEVEABLE!!!

Okay, I think I made a comment in this thread earlier, but I'm gonna give it another try.

Though many of you may not like this and though it might not have been the smartest thing to do to leave out this feature it's perfectly natural. I'ts actually the same with FIFA, I believe. You can only play your own games.

And it makes perfect sense. Example:
I'm a Broncos fan, so I decide to create myself and coach the Broncos. I make it to the Super Bowl, and in the NFC championship it's Green Bay Packers vs. the awful Cardinals who somehow made it to the NFC Championship.

So I decide to turn down the difficulty and torch the Packers with John Skelton in the NFC Championship because it gives me an easier Super Bowl. Yeah, that's right. The coach of the Denver Broncos called the plays in the NFC CHAMPIONSHIP! Say what?

I know that many of you wouldn't do that, and simply likes to play exciting matchups such as Steelers-Ravens or Saints-Panthers. But honestly... Where's the fun in determining other games outcome than your own? If you ask me, it's neither fun nor logical which is why I find it natural to leave it out.

I'm having a harder time understanding why we can't edit players to our liking. Not that I've ever been using that feature but still.

Anyway, that's my five cents. You probably don't care, but now you know :P

Oh, and cheer up: Football season is coming!

Maybe because no one knows about the poll...or the site.

Heck, pastapadre appears on google results before any EA forum or even OS.
