dumb question: will the patch mean having to restart a CC save?

thanks.

# 62 Tyrant8RDFL @ 09/10/12 05:26 PM

I would love to know if the stability fixes include that of the sliders not working in a online CC.

I would love to haar that they work like they do with play now. It would make many leagues very happy

They get two free patches, at least on the PS3 from my understanding.

If they don't say you have to, the default is that you do not. They'd say it if it were.

with this patch does anyone know if the ZOOM cam in CCM is going to be fixed???..i hope.. sorry if already addressed

# 66 ChicagoChris @ 09/10/12 05:29 PM

I love how upset you guys are without even seeing a complete list of fixes. Also, give credit to EA for releasing a patch when they said they would. The acknowledgment of the dev team looking at CCM editing as well..

Everyone relax and be happy they are listening to all of us...

exactly this stuff was already process hint the reason why we got a date for the first patch release a week before the game came out. Usually the 2nd patch is the huge major patch

You could be right. Thought it was one but if it's two my apologies. Not trying to spread bad info.

Hopeful that this patch fixes alot but it's becoming more of a "wait until second patch" to have a good game. Lesson learned as always, wait for patches before buying. Get a better game at a cheaper price.

If this is the first patch how come it says "Title Update #2"? Doesn't sound like they fixed what needed to be fixed though.

Because it is update #2 there was a release day patch.

# 71 ThisIsWeaponX @ 09/10/12 06:04 PM

Will the patch update the rosters for CCM's or do we have to wait for a separate update for that?

Man that is kinda messed up for the game to be 2 patches in and still have this many readily identifiable issues specifically on the offline CC side.

I mean losing features in the career mode was a kick in the nuts and I understand why they did it but the least you could do is make sure your new highly touted mode is thoroughly beta tested or at the very least played...

They will never notice them because they don't even realize there is a issue half the time. This update sounds like a huge waste IMO, guess it depends on the stability fixes. Doesn't sound promising. Personally, I am looking for roster editing,and also a new zoom cam angle that is playable would be nice(and a option to use it in in CCM without it defaulting back to standard!). I sure hope they do this for title 3. This zoom cam is worthless at this angle, and some of us don't like playing on the default "bird cam"! I'd like a lot more gameplay fixes as well, but I won't hold my breath

yea i was under the impression that they didnt wanna add anything that wasnt 100%. that is wat made me really chill on their stance to not have editing. but we all see how this ccm debacle turned out. plenty of bugs and not thoroughly tested or even close to 100%. just on that alone i will never ever believe anymore ea statements. they couldve went ahead with editing out the gate cuz their own philosophy didnt hold up.

and yea i played all my madden 12 on the zoom cam and loved it even tho i couldnt see the flats and some short sideline routes. i took the immersion over vision. this yr...i dunno what they were smoking....i cant see jack shhh on zoom cam this yr. all they had to do was zoom it out just slightly for better sideline/flats and it woulda been perfect. this is the classic ea fixing wat aint broke. i hope they change the angle but i doubt they will. unlike editing...i dont think ive heard one peep outta ea about fixing zoom cam angle unless i missed something.

I would like to know this too! lol

# 76 Armor and Sword @ 09/10/12 06:19 PM

I am staying patient.

I figured 2 patches will be what is needed to fix a lot of the offline issues.

In the meantime I am fooling around in a test run offline CCM just to get fully familiar with all the features, menus, XP packages, practices, etc etc etc.

Play now plays great.

Again....staying positive. And I expect the patch to address many of the offline issues holding up us offline franchise mode players.

I continue to find shots like this over here hilarious to be honest. These guys come in and do nothing but represent the community and are always attacked by guys. We even bring guys into the program from The Sim Standard and then they're just called fan boys.

The truth is the group gives us great feedback and even finds items that never go mainstream or are addressed before launch. So many of the features that guys over here like this year have been impacted by the group.

I know this isn't the entire community as a whole, but too many guys spend time trying to tear guys down instead of remembering what community was/is about... providing feedback on our favorite games and finding like minded people to game with.

You don't have to take me for my word. I would say that everyone who has met me knows that I'm an honest straightforward person who wants the best out of our games. I hand pick the guys in the group and know they want the same thing as well. Take it for what it's worth. I just want to make sure guys have the real side of things and not something that is assumed.

# 78 smonee @ 09/10/12 06:25 PM

I fired up an offline CCM just to test it out. Honestly, if they some how allow edit player (or some form of control)...I would forget about the old franchise mode I have been playing since 93. I have struggled to play past year 3 of my franchises for the past five years. With the additions in CCM I think I could be back to the 5+ year franchise. The gameplay/presentation is AWESOME (except for too many ints and the CPU non-running game) and is much improved.

But with my praise to the game, its collecting dust on my shelf. Been playing the only true franchise mode MLBtheShow! I maybe trading in Madden soon if edit roster is not added. Soon the only people online will be the kids who they are satisfying who have no money!

If they don't fix this, any other patching they do is pretty much pointless in my mind. So many close games in the NFL; to have them potentially ruined by poor AI is just...

*sigh*
