Madden 12 franchise was infinitely better to me and my friends as we could actually play the game in co-op.

A team-based sports title without co-op is unheard of so from our perspective CCM is a monumental step backwards.

It probably literally takes 30 seconds to change the quarter length of simulated games to solve the stats issue.

What is this? Game Face? Nobody on here even takes interest in it and that's what you patch?

I guess I'm left playing Play Now and Online CCM whenever the server is actually stable for the next couple months.

Don't even want to trade it in because Game Stop is just as much failure as this.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

If those guys wasn't there, are you saying we would see even more bugs & glitches?

Are they even gonna address the horrible slow-as-a-snail replay system, which can't be turned off? Not only can you not turn it off, EA will punish you if you skip it by making the score/down-and-distance overlay disappear. The replay system is so aggravating. Yes, EA I can see you have fancy graphics and a new physics but can you slow it down and zoom in a little more. smh

The bugs that have been flying around and being discovered the last few weeks might be covered in the next title update. This patch is for everything that was caught once the game went gold. ie stability issues, etc... even GameFace.

And you know, I get that. I really do.

However, the offline CC is broken. It's almost to the point of saying it's a broken game.

I paid my 60 bucks, and I deserve to have a working game.

I can live with some AI issues. But major functions of the CC, like schemes and injuries make it a completely wasted experience.

What I don't get is how it can be fixed online, but they haven't fixed it for offline. Since they got it working online, it can't be that hard to just push it over to offline as well.

I don't have access to xbox live gold, so online does junk for me. And in fact, I wouldn't buy a gold sub just to play CC online anyway.

I can excuse that these game-breaking bugs made it to offline in the first place, but I paid for this game on launch day, and at this point I still can't play offline CC because it's broken.

So, how is it that people complaining shouldn't be? I don't care about the missing fantasy draft, the editing of players (though i'd like to see it) or any of the other "game types" that people are whining about.

I took the game for what it was, what was advertised. And when half the functions of offline CC don't work...why shouldn't I be unhappy?

I have patience, but I can't understand how it can be working online and still not getting fixed for offline. If EA wants to give me access to online while I wait for the offline update, I'd be fine with it. But I didn't read anywhere on the case for the game that said I would need to pay more money to play the game I paid for in a working condition.

And by having to upgrade to gold to do just that...yeah, excuse me if I am unhappy with Madden 13 right now. Assuming they ever get these things fixed, this will be my favorite Madden since 2005. But for now, it's a 60 dollar paperweight to me.

Please Tiburon, im begging here, Invite some true football intellectuals to test out the game and give feedback?

I understand that Inviting tournament players to find glitches but thats all i believe they should have input on, unless of course they actually have realistic gameplay suggestions!

Invite some people on here! We OSers would gladly give you a list of the people that deserve to go if thats what you need!

Madden Needs Football Minds not Madden Minds!

ps. Since NBA LIVE will be going under pretty soon, EA should redirect those resources to Madden their cash cow! Hire more programmers just for bug/glitch detection, Hire more capable gampeplay code writers and animators, just do something!!! Please...

wow seriously gameface? Are u f kidding me it better be more then that. Offline guys can't even play a normal season with all the bugs. Wow EA u finally took the cake for dropping the ball in gaming history. Here we go again can't play the game until the real NFL season is over again for them to get there delayed silly updates in.You want your gameface its in my toliet along with this game.

# 149 Danimal @ 09/10/12 08:13 PM

Geesh go away for a few hours.

Lets cut the shots about Game Changers this is a thread about the patch. GC are not Q&A testers and for that matter Q&A testers don't have any control over what gets fixed that is up to the developers.

If you want to discuss the patch feel free but the other stuff ends now. Only warning.

# 150 LRBTODAY @ 09/10/12 08:15 PM

This news may make me keep my MADDEN.

# 151 tril @ 09/10/12 08:16 PM

The masses have spoken and its clearly evident taht the masses arent the folks that frequent Operation Sports.
Game Face is a huge priority for the masses, that would be the young kids and casuals.
THE ability to edit rosters etc, is for teh die hard sim heads.
This brief discription of a patch, clearly indicates what EA's priority is when it comes to Madden. Hint: it aint us.

# 152 ballymenasteve @ 09/10/12 08:17 PM

I really hope some of the small things get fixed in this update as well, like Stadium sounds not properly working, the wind meter pointing opposite direction than it should etc, punt returner bug when he goes walkabout etc.

I'm liking the game, but these small things are errors that should have been noticed pre release, and need fixed

People are making way too much of Gameface making it into the brief list of areas getting fixes. It's probably lower risk fixes that could make it into an early patch, so that it's less likely to break something else that would require attention before/in the next title update.

Meanwhile, 'teh die hard sim heads' got a whole paragraph about them looking into adding editing back in.

Ya your right its for little Timmy who's 8 and finally can have his dad put his face in the game Game of the year. lol

Has anyone heard if this will include the roster update for ccm? or are they going to release that separately

# 156 unc_kobw @ 09/10/12 08:24 PM

Why can NHL do this but not Madden and we have to be given excuses as to why when we all know that Josh Looman wanted this mode to be shoved into all users which is not a franchise mode but more like a souped up fantasy mode. Ohh and by the way the crap NCAA pass defense for the CPU is in full affect in Madden but this time for the User How many times do we have to see corners biting on non fakes by the qb.... Corners come in and the CPU QB does not even pump fake and at least once a game the CPU gets a 60 yard bomb where the receiver is wide open by 25 yards. Complete and utter joke. When the gameplay for the most part is excellent

100% agree on your point regarding the Single Season mode incorporated into NHL. As an Offline gamer playing with friends Madden is a real let down.

Seriously EA should start handing out refunds and buy the game in December when it is playable offline this is just unacceptable if this is it in the update.
