I am really bad at defense and pretty good at defense (when I played I played QB/WR only so) so I end up having a competitive game, but with final scores like 52-45 but only if I'm controlling a bad team playing a good one. I want editing in mainly to change positions from LB to DE or HB to FB or WR to TE etc. I don't have a prayer of playing all-madden and succeeding I simply don't have the reaction time or money plays to do so.

To the rest of your post: Fair enough.

Your continual reference to 'money plays' - as if that is the only way All-Madden players are able to play at this level - is completely disrespectful. I always play All-Madden and never once have I or do I allow myself to pick a play I would consider to be a 'given'.

If I wish to be equally disrespectful I would say something along the lines of "Playing at your level, every play is a money play". I respect that everyone is at at a different level, but please don't belittle me and others that play All-Madden because you simply can't.

YAY! Gameface is being fixed! Now all the little 8 year old Timmys across the nation will stop crying because their in-game player looks so scary.

And not a peep about the P.O.S. MUT website.

# 204 christdream @ 09/10/12 09:39 PM

this is sad. i guess youre not doing anything to this garbage pass defense and the BROKE custom playbook feature! this is garbage!! it will be months before the next patch that even means something. this is embarrasing!!

It was broken last year, so they had a year, you mean give them TWO YEARS!! Only in the Madden world do you have to wait two, three, six years..

Pass interference, give us 9-10 years, (it's done OK in the Genesis version, lol) Line play? Next year will be 9 years...

Let's everyone try this at work, OK boss I'll get right on that error, give me one, two years..

What happened to using the tuner updates for ai issues like playcalling and CPU running? EA's NHL game uses the tuners to effectively edit gameplay. Why not in this game?

psst.

emmdot is not a developer. I think he's a bit out of his depth here.

Last year's franchise mode isn't in the game because they didn't want it to be. They want everyone to migrate to CCM. Eventually Franchise was going to have to be cut out, so I guess they'd rather do it now instead of later.

If that's the only way you can survive on All-Madden my advice to you is to start practicing because there are plenty of gamers who don't have to resort to "money plays" in order to compete with the CPU on that level. They are just good players.. To some of us All-Pro is unrealistic because the CPU is super easy.. To each his own though.. Regardless All-Madden is weak in CCM..

I would like for them to do something with coach only mode. The coach button is useless. I have tried everything to coach just by calling plays.

I'm with you on that.

I mostly play 3 player co-op vs CPU and it's the most fun I've ever had with a video game.

Madden 12 was a great game in my opinion (once the sliders were setup), simulating teamwork with your friends is great fun and, sociable gaming aside, the beauty of having human teammates is you see a noticeable reduction in botched CPU AI and the game feels less scripted.

Why oh why did Josh and the Madden team only allow gamers to enjoy Madden 13 alone - really strange and totally unheard of for a team-based sports game.

I regret my purchase of this more than any other video game, except Homefront.

# 212 Darth Aegis @ 09/10/12 10:07 PM

I hate it when I have to watch the commercial for madden and all the reviews are great, it makes me want to break my tv! I wish somebody would make a commercial showing and talking about all the flaws, then maybe we would get a real patch, I feel bad for people that just buy the game from going off the commercial. Believing in EA is like believing in a mythical creature like the Easter Bunny

Thanks for the heads-up. I usually play during non-peak times, so that should help, too.

I'll need to look into what Online CCM has done, tuner-wise, that is missing from Offline.

"Player editing still being explored." They make it sound like we are traveling to outer space. Here is an idea explore it until you implement it. For the record no one cares about players back stories that you draft either, explore implementing draft classes while you are exploring editing. You can't discover what you already found.

# 215 tnettuno @ 09/10/12 10:23 PM

All I care about is connected career roster updates.

Everything is based on my experience with the game. Maybe you shouldn't assume its a put down. Tho, in my experience, those that are really good at this game (ones that beat me 50-14 online) use lag to their advantage and use the same plays over and over again. I've never seen anyone play all-madden without doing these things, and even when I do everything right in all madden the players drop the ball 80% of the time and there are people in the backfield at the snap of the ball. I literally don't see how you can win in all-madden without doing something to combat that.

So I didn't in any way want to be putting anyone down, merely expressing frustration.

No one cares about players back stories? was that tongue in cheek? Cause if not that is outright ridiculous.

You obviously haven't had many games against guys who are flat out good and don't cheese and play like that.. I've played plenty of great gamers over the years who don't play like that and are good. Have you ever considered the fact that you might need to work on your game? Not trying to put you down or anything but the stuff you are complaining about on All-Madden sounds more like a USER issue besides the drop passes(sliders fix that issue).

I feel the same as the guy you are responding to. It is an insult to some of us who don't have to play like that against the CPU to have success on All-Madden.. I use a variety of plays on offense. I'm always in practice mode working on new things. Alot of gamers aren't willing to put in that kind of work. They want everything to be handed to them. I'll match my playcalling of different plays and execution up with anybody.. All-Madden really isn't that difficult if you are a good player who knows how to execute with any play..

i asked 18 pages ago but no answer so i'll ask again:

will either the update or new rosters be useable with current Careers?

or afte the update will we have to start a new Career to make use of any gameplay/roster changes?

thanks.
