This comes down to what I and a few others have been saying. In that we need to have the ability to play either in an arcade mode or a simulation mode in Madden. It would solve all this complaining and Madden bashing over this game being ultra unrealistic in every sense of the word myself included in the bashing... and a little praise as well, but mostly bashing. Also I want to think the EA community managers for their participation in the forums around here. Lets get that little switch in the game that lets us sim players play our kind of ball and the casual " I like my 100-70 score games " players have their kind of ball.

The only issue of importance to me is the stability of offline CCM, the fixing of the progression for offline CCM, and if you are not able to do that then the most important issue for me is the stability of online CCM and MUT. Right now it is impossible for me to even play this game. I've been asking around and unable to find anything I'm doing wrong. Throwing this in here to see if you know of anything, or if it is what is meant by stability in the game.

Again, unacceptable by EA. these uniforms were not done right, and if I am wrong, the fans of this game have always voiced their concerns about a lack of editing. While I am glad they are taking these actions, this should have never been released with these issues.

Maybe, but it will never be done in the same game with the same developers. Thus, it will be two separate games which will have people screaming about greed and so forth.

It just won't sell to the masses. They said they wanted to make a head coach every other year, but the game didn't sell well enough thus we have not had it since 09.

Then it would not have been released until december. We all saw what happens when they delay the release of a game when they did so with Live. It never came out and doomed the franchise probably forever.

Encouraging to hear they're working on 'edit player' functionality. I'm going to jump the gun here, but I'd like to think there is a good chance this gets in. Otherwise, I'm not so sure it would've been mentioned. They know how the Madden community gets; when they say there is potential for something to get in the game, members of various communities will interpret it as a promise. I'm sure Tiburon is aware of that.

We'll see though...

Yesssssssss Game Face is going to be fixed

In the meantime while we are waiting for them to fix the real game here is a message from John Madden himself........

I totally understand the desire for multi-team control, editing, etc. But Madden 12 franchise was a bore for me. The scouting didn't provide enough points or info and I ended up quitting the scouting altogether because it was a waste of my time. The draft let me down because of that. And I hated the e-bay style FA system.

I'm looking forward to playing this new franchise mode but I can't start it until the cpu play calling tendencies are fixed. Seeing the cpu just pound the ball on 1st and 2nd down, being overly predictable and not playing like the real teams do just kills the experience for me.

EA really needs to focus a LOT more on testing human vs cpu games instead of inviting game changers in to play each other all day long. EA also needs to invite at least one person in to do nothing but test the sliders - offline, online, Play Now, CCM and make sure they work and are effective.

DJ...just fool around with play now games, poke around CCM to get familar with all the features and menus....then before you know it the game will function properly. Dive deep into NCAA 13 and The Show 12 till then! Madden 13 is a great game under the hood and just needs some TLC with a couple of strong patches. Play now is a ton of fun. I was initially appalled that the game shipped in this state for offline gamers. I have calmed down......played the game in play now mode and have really come to enjoy the heck out of it. If EA does not come through on the patches......they will lose me as a client....for a long time.

I've been tinkering with Offline CCM but the busted XP, among other things, is tough to deal with. I'm not wasting my time Online until the servers are more stable; my gaming time is limited and there's no way I'm risking playing a game for an hour only to be booted in the 4th quarter for some random reason.

Yeah, I'll just stick with MLB 12 The Show and NCAA 13 and mix in some TW PGA 13 and of course, NBA 2K13 when it drops next month. I'll play Madden 13 when I feel like it, but without a properly working Offline CCM, my interest will be very low.

Like you, I was going to get NHL 13, but also cancelled my pre-order after hearing about the lack of penalties AGAIN. I may have to go back out and buy NHL 11.

This is pathetic, with NHL coming out tomorrow this game is getting a nice warm spot on the shelf. I was really waiting to play CC without bugs, but looks like I wont be able to play the game until next month.
I don't pay $60 bucks in August to not be able to play its most hyped mode until October.

C'mon EA.

DJ I haven't had an issue with servers since opening weekend and I'm pretty sure most people aren't either. Just saying, online ccm is the way to go

# 172 haloofduty @ 09/10/12 08:44 PM

FIX SIM STATS. To many snaps during simmed games resulting in ridiculous high scoring games. FIX SIM STATS

I have not been able to playing online CCM for the past week for more then ten minutes at a time. "EA servers are not available at this time please try again later" or "You have been disconnected from the EA servers please try again later" every time I try to play. I'm not the only one, and every other game I play is working with online.

This is exactly what I wanted hear man.. Sucks I have to wait until next month before this issue gets possibly gets fixed though...

I can't believe the amount of people who's main concern is editing. There's a severely broken All-Madden CCM CPU and all people care about is whether they have 2 guys with the same number on their team.

SERIOUSLY!!?!

I don't play on All-Madden. I don't enjoy playing to find money plays that work against it. I don't enjoy an unrealistic game. *shrugs*

I dont think its exclusive to All Madden. I see the same problems on default pro and all pro also.

I completely agree, but just to be clear, co-op is human teammates (2-4) playing on the same side vs the CPU.
