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).

But go ahead and buy a game you know you wont like if that's what you want to do.

Never ONCE said you were a fanboy O.o?? Its not as easy for some as it is for you...ppl need their NFL fix, EA knows this, they prey on that...like lil evil demons imo...thats why when i feel when ppl say "dnt like it, dnt buy it" while u may be right in a technical since...but on a human/moral level its wrong and its kinda like spitting in those ppls faces...

but i understand how thats how to world works...which is prolly why its the disaster it is now..smh

Ok.. Just seemed like it with the people like you and EA comment..
No harm no foul

Trust me.. Passing on a release day FB game isnt easy. I do play the game as I'll grab used. If it is what I thought it was I simpy return it. No lost $.

What's morally wrong about a consumer having to walk away from a product they don't like..?

I'm missing something here as usual.

# 164 alkamist @ 06/12/12 09:56 PM

this does not bug me at all, i have no problem with this, why would anyone want to control another team but there own is crazy. Also why would anyone want to control ratings in online franchise unless they want to cheat there way to 99 ovr guys... this game looks good, and I will be buying this game, instead of complaining you have a choice to buying the game or not buying the game, its your choice and no ones else....

The only problem I have with this game is you cant edit your gear on ur guys, and spec mode, so now ill wait for the demo to actually come out to really test this game...

Agree to disagree about EA's fault. If I was a share holder and they didnt do it , I'd be ticked. It was more the NFL's greed.
Agree about exclusive didnt help make the genre better BUT with EA's record would competition really have helped?
NBA Live had competition..
Would love though to have seen what 2k Football may have been in 2013

Great, now I can't make sure the Patriots don't make it to the Super Bowl with me 5 years in a row.

Change is good now let that sink in . . . he put a smiley face!!! my god ea has lost their minds. he is completely oblivious what has happened. GIFSoup

now that makes me upset it also tells me we might never get editing etc until Josh leaves unless madden takes a BIG HIT in sales

# 170 Herky @ 06/12/12 10:06 PM

What I don't understand is that Josh Looman worked on NFL Head Coach 09, which had a fantastic franchise mode. People were very excited when they were told that he was moving over to Madden.

Now he's tweeting "Franchise is dead." I don't get it.

# 171 Bigmac612 @ 06/12/12 10:08 PM

But cmon, the whole " creating a superstar but if u get tired of him n decide to move on he gets deleted permanently but it doesnt happen with "real" players" doesnt seem a lil silly to yall, we should atleast have a choice if we want to do that or not..but obviously seein how dis year is going "choices" are hard to come by...its like a smack in the face..

i cant help but feel this was done purposely so that the user wont have any loopholes to use his created player in coach mode...why would you want to limit ppl like that...what if i want to play with another team..then go back to him later in his career...like why??...that one thing is just soooooo STUPID in itself, sorry it just is...

Well i've been able to avoid buying it but it's frustrating that i can't buy an NFL football game because the only game out there requires me to play it 1 way, with their rosters. In a time where games are giving users more control than ever, they decide to remove all user control. It's not like they just took away the ability to play as more than 1 team. They took that away AND the ability to use edited rosters or edit equipment AND the ability to play other teams games. I see some people who say things in reference to people editing rosters and giving everyone 99s or playing other team's games so they can control who wins. The amount of people who use that ability for those things is the minority compared to those who just want to make rosters the way they like or give someone certain equipment or play other team's games simply because they want to play with other teams for variety. Point is, it doesn't matter if the user wants to make everyone a 99 or control who wins and loses. That is how they want to play the game. Forcing people to play 1 way is ridiculous.

Right, you have to remember that in online dynasty in NCAA you can edit your rosters and give everyone a 99 (at least the commissioner can edit anyone's roster I belive). But people won't play with you if you pull stuff like that.

My point is, I think that they really just ran out of time to correctly implement editing rosters, multiple team control, etc. and it will be added in the future. However, I think it was a bad decision to implement things like twitter feed instead of editing players.

They might as well just come out and tell the hardcore fans to go kick rocks! Lol
I always played all the playoff games as the lowest rated team, it made playoffs time seem "bigger". I am more concerned about the NFL as a whole and not just "my career". Now if CCM included "GM, OWNER, AND COMMISIONER modes then this would be awesome.

# 177 Argooos @ 06/12/12 10:18 PM

The more I hear about CC the more it seems like the devs honestly believe that every Madden player has one, and only one favourite NFL team.
Nobody has no particular favourite team.
Nobody has multiple favourite teams.

# 178 JayD @ 06/12/12 10:22 PM

I like the direction that Madden is going. Many said in the past that the franchise mode should be more like Head Coach and now they are going in that direction and people are now upset with it. This is year one of a revamped franchise mode and to me I am very impressed with the in depth changes that have already been made.

# 179 N51_rob @ 06/12/12 10:24 PM

Stole this from PastaPadre, but what a difference a year makes.

If they would have included 2 player Co-Op (on same team) it would have been enough for me. This is the only mode I ever played. Madden is the only game I play and now I can't since they won't let me play the way I have for as long as I can remember.

Extremely disappointed in EA and any idiot who believed developing a game from a communistic point of view was a good idea. THEY SHOULD NOT DICTATE HOW WE SHOULD PLAY NFL FOOTBALL!

All the had to do was add Infinity and polish offline franchise and I think most people would have been happy. They should have called this Head Coach 13 and also released a Madden 13!!!!!
