Then you are saying they caught that ai issue before the game shipped, meaning EA knew about the issue before the game shipped?

That's not fair, either, you can't lump them altogether. I know of at least one that posts here that was fair in their assessment of the game.

I wonder how they missed the no edit feature or the numerous bugs and glitches that are in the game? It befuddles me actually. Did EA deliberately do this or accidentally missed these?

Yeah, because why wouldn't it have occurred to them that taking out editing and fantasy draft would be missed? Who wouldn't want three linebackers with number 55 on the field at once?

This is very disappointing...SMH NO PATCH FOR THE IDIOTIC COVERAGE SCREW UPS!??! I understand the the fixes for the connected careers etc but come on? I hate playing as a lb/db & the stupid coverage issues is forcing me and many others to play the game in a way we don't want/like to,& I've heard all the stupid smart mouthed comments like "stop hitting dwn on the stick at the snap" etc & to all those that feel that way I kindly say shut up,why should our way of playing the game get screwed up because of an oversight by EA?

I spend my time in practice and only playing online in leagues & quick matches so all these single player updates from the patch do nothing for me & I think that all of us hardcore online guys got screwed by having to wait longer...I'm not knocking the single player fixes at all but when I hear of the game face stuff being fixed while there's other pressing issues that's a problem to me.

Another of the many other dumb issues are when playing online I can't even select onside KO return?? Allowing people to constantly squib on me THAT'S RIDICULOUS EA! Or the screwed up jumbled mess that your play books turn into after creating a custom one?

I'm HUGE madden fan & 20+ yr vet,I bleed madden & always stand up for it/say it's my fav..but this crap is getting rlly old.

I'm no game developer but I know it shouldn't be taking till October or whenever to fix all these issues & get the game the way it's supposed to be in the first place because if that's the case why don't you just wait till oct to release every yr?

These issues didn't just happen,people have been playing the retail build even weeks before the season ticket early release & it's totally uncalled for & I'm upset.

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!

Well franchise mode was introduced in 1998. Just saying.

We can agree to disagree. It's not worth your time or mine to argue this point. I sit in the room and hear the feedback. They're not yes men. These guys just provide the feedback in a constructive way. Any one who looks at Madden 12 compared to Madden 13 can see the improvements. Those guys have played a role in that. Sure, they were just as disappointed by some things not being in, but they also understand where we're going.

The real problem here is LACK of competition!! If there were other developers making NFL games, we wouldn't see this lazy and half-hazard approach to the game every year. Even after the first patch, many things remain fundamentally broken, and EA probably isn't that motivated to fix it, since sales are at a record high, and people seemingly are ok with subjecting themselves to year after year of shelling out $60 for a game that would be GREAT, if they just addressed some of the core issues! I don't think it is too much to ask that the current things in the game work properly. Asking for ADDITIONAL content, like fantasy draft etc. is definitely not realistic. However, just making sure that the things in the game work right, is important to people like me who work hard for their money! I guess we will have to wait and see in October where this game really stand. Right now, it is SO CLOSE to being amazing, but too many bugs ruin MOST of the features of the game.............

As we stated on Facebook, we're aware of the other issues out there and we're looking into them as well. It's just not part of this update. As always, thanks for the feedback.

I just really hope the sliders for CCM and the AIs playcalling/Logic are getting looked at thoroughly for the next patch.. I haven't struggled this bad with getting the CPU to be competitive in a long time and it's really wearing on me. I can't enjoy the game at all going up against a weak AI. The sliders work great in Play now..

Lol they're lying, editing is not coming this year

Why is it that this game is plagued with all sorts of bugs and glitches that honestly shouldn't have been in the game if you guys had people "testing" it.

In my opinion, those people who tested Madden need to be reprimanded or fired immediately. This not only hurt the reputation of EA, but it also hurts you and others as well.

You do understand that they actually took that stuff like draft and editing out, right?

We are extremely motivated to address all uncovered issues. What bugs are bothering you the most?

Why limit our ability to do anything in CCM? Why are the difficulties (sliders) different in CCM versus play now? Yes, physics will add a tremendous amount of replay value to the game, once it has evolved and been implemented correctly. However, CCM was one of the game's most marketed features. It is buggy and does not work properly. How are we to believe that EA has this game headed in the right direction?

Because Franchise mode is almost 10 years old. While franchise mode is good, the plan for Connected Careers is great. This is Connected Careers first year and we will continue to improve upon it year after year.

Hopefully EA will cut ties with fan sites alltogether and run with what they have here which is a great foundation. First time current gen ive really enjoyed the game, offline franchise. The vocal minority here doesnt need to influence them, just a bunch of crying and irrational behavior. Pretty much sums up any madden site that ever existed.

A couple of them sure gave the impression that they were just part of the Marketing Hype. I would like to get to know the rest of the Game Changers. We did have a couple really bad ones, but then we also had the "rgiles" type guys as Game Changers.

What do you think the prerequisite to be a Game Changer is?

# 100 slappybrown @ 09/10/12 07:02 PM

The revisionist history around here that franchise mode in 12 (or 11, or 10) was this great mode is laughable. This series dreadfully needed to evolve and CCM is a steP in the right direction. It unquestionably needs work, but come on. Madden franchise has been bad on this gen console since inception.
