yeah that'd be a bit of a joke lol

It would be kind of odd to go up against an undead Walter Payton.

You pick the team.

I wouldve of liked to be drafted. It wouldve shown if the team would have stuck to their scheme.

Huh? I don't know what kind of things you think the AI will be changing every week, but if you can re-sign key veterans in the last year of their deal that would never actually leave, just to make sure, and set depth charts once in a while (for instance, when a young player should be starting over an aging vet who is only a couple of points higher in OVR), what else do you need mid-season? Obviously full 32-team control would be preferable for those who enjoy it/think it's necessary, but the point stands that for the necessary things, it is a usable workaround.

You're right. What is bothersome with this idea is that our pass rushing DE's that we move to OLB will receive a drop in awareness because they're being played "out of position."

If there is some flexibility build into the system, then I would imagine that teams will sometimes add players who don't necessarily grade out the highest for their scheme. Change of pace backs, shifty slot receivers, pass rushing specialist DE's, Cover 2 corners, whatever types are different than what they usually look for. Versatility should be desired by every team.

So yeah, I'm expecting other teams to consider Pead more "valuable" then the Rams do, as far as Overall is concerned. Hopefully the CPU teams won't be too linear in their player acquisition/team construction.

I really wish you could use multiple legends in CC. I wish I could coach with Dan Reeves on the falcons (gameface

) and somehow use Deion on the same team. If possible a patch with a pre-season legends draft would be cool. Just about everyone would get one. But im not one to complain, it gives you enough possibilities to still explore the NFL world. Heck Im gonna use gameface to make a Sean Taylor and play out an NFL career that was cut way too short. Thanks EA people have ALWAYS wanted an online superstar/ my career type thing.

Thanks to everyone who has posted info in regards to the work around for switching teams to play out other games. Although it's a long way from full 32 team control it does make the game more appealing to me.
Just to expand on this a little further, does anyone know if the switch team option is still available during the playoffs. For example could I still switch my coach to allow me to play in the Superbowl?

the thing about being not being drafted prolly comes from the fact that you can create a player anytime during the season. it would be odd to get drafted and then going into week 5 or 8 or even the super bowl.

from what we know you can switch at any time. we dont know how the simming is handled during the playoffs, teams might have to sim to end if they dont make it. but you could avoid something like that if it is how they handle it by swapping to one that goes on to the next round before you advance.

again dont know how its done just presenting an option for if its done that way.

# 91 cgalligan @ 08/16/12 07:18 AM

How will all these CCM things work in an "Online Franchise" setting with a league full of 32 Owners?

Are the Off-Season tasks treated like "weeks" like they are in NCAA?

How does FA Bidding work when your bidding against 31 other User Controlled Owners?

Thanks for the response. Sounds logical. Let's just hope that's how it works. It's somewhat disengaging when you get to the end of the season & if you fail to make the playoffs you miss out on the post season showdowns.

Does anybody know if the badly done training camp "fog of war" is still there that ended up in 40 rated players making rosters ?

The auto-generated undrafted rookie free agents no longer exist. Draft classes are now much larger, however, so if you want an undrafted rookie, you have to go manually sign him.

free agency is treated just like weeks in NCAA. dont know yet on the draft and such yet. bidding is more like last gen madden where players have different levels of wants. some of the wants that we know about are money, coaching, and winning. each team chooses who they want to bid on and then you advance the "week" and players decide if and who they want to sign with.

# 96 briax87 @ 08/16/12 08:41 AM

The CC manual is awesome, love the range of choices for coaches and players. Love all the differences between the teams too, can't wait for Madden now.

Whoa, so legends like Kurt Warner might make a comeback? That would be amazing

# 98 JimmyT85 @ 08/16/12 08:49 AM

Just a quick question:

Say I want to start a CC using a created Head Coach, would my season targets be lower at a team like the Rams, as opposed to a team like the Packers?

For instance, it could be win 8 games for the Rams, where as the Packers would be an expected Superbowl appearance?

# 99 xMoJox @ 08/16/12 08:49 AM

I cannot WAIT to get the game and find a 2-3 page manual in the case lol.

# 100 soonermagic88 @ 08/16/12 08:58 AM

Hey EA, ever heard of PROOFREADING??
SMH

On another note, I was 50/50 on purchasing Madden before reading the manual. Post reading it, I have decided to purchase Madden on release day. Cant wait for CCM and RTP!
