Madden NFL 13 News Post


Madden NFL 13 Title Update #2 is available now for 360 users. We'll update this post when PS3 users can see it.

This update includes a new instant start option when creating a player in CCM. The team has also fixed numerous stability issues and GameFace improvements.

While the team hasn't added the ability to edit players in CCM, they still haven't shot down the idea completely, in hopes to have it available in a future patch.

The week 1 Madden NFL 13 updated rosters for CCM are not included in this title update, but are supposed to be out sometime this week.

UPDATE: Here are the details on the title update.
  • Added an Instant Start option to Connected Careers as a player
  • Numerous commentary improvements to address when lines trigger and what they say.
  • Added a trade notification in CCM for the NFL Draft
  • Fixed social media sharing post-game to address spacing issues
  • Improved the GameFace feature
  • Fixed Challenge Audio to make the appropriate call
  • Improved Physics Get-up post play
  • Adjusted created players in Connected Careers so that they always have high progression grades despite their backstory choices
  • Fixed defensive assignment issues against the CPU AI when users were in Man Coverage
  • Increased the chances to trade for a CPU team’s starter
  • Adjusted the scouting development trait in CCM to display as (Slow, Medium, Fast, or Superstar) instead of 0-3.
  • Added the ability to post results from H2H MUT games on Facebook/Twitter.
  • Numerous stability issues around the game in general were also included in the update to improve the overall experience and Connected Careers specifically.

I've seen several reports of the 2 minute drill being better in online CC (not great, but not as dumb as the video above), and I've seen it for myself. Maybe I'm just getting lucky, but I definitely think there's a difference there.
Well online CCM it's been a mixed bag for me, I've also had the CPU down buy a TD go for a pass to the endzone on 4th down, which is good. But then one time they had the lead with like 55 seconds to go, I had no timeouts, they came out on 1st down and knelt down. Then instead of coming out and kneeling down again to end the game they ran a running play. I was like, what they heck but was hoping for a fumble at the same time, LOL.

They tightened up the phyics really nice.

No more after tackle ragdoll pile on's on the ground.

Want to know what's really a trip? Go into MUT and play a game vs. the CPU. The CPU AI in MUT was running GAME on me with its playcalling this weekend - straight up humanlike. And this was with 2 minute quarters!

I was like, oh no not again...yet ANOTHER mode in which CPU AI seems to be playing differently? LOL...

(I wonder if the update will impact MUT...)

I'd love to start my offline CCM already.

I'm not going to bash EA, but when I buy the game on release date and have to wait a month or two later to finally be able to play it, something is wrong.

I've found the new engine to be different and fun and can see myself getting into a nice groove with my offline franchise.

If it's mid to late October and there's no update yet for the bugs, and glitches in the offline CCM, then I will simply move onto NBA 2k13. It's a shame because I haven't played a franchise in Madden in at least 5-6 years, and finally thought this would be the year I'd get to do that.

Well,

I've never played Superstar Mode before in previous Maddens, but since the insta-start option has been added with this patch, I think I'll give Offline CCM Player Mode a try. -seeing as Coach CCM is unchanged.

At least they added that for now.

I completely agree. Very frustrating, even more so now with Sony / PS3 and this supposed extra 2 week wait for a simple patch.

Is there any hope of a legitimate ps3 patch release today? Why announce it for ps3 as well on maddens behalf if they anticipated a 2 week delay? BS.

Relax, open your front door, and go for a walk.

Under the assumption that this guy is more familiar with this than I, hence where I got the 2 weeks from... I really hope that the above quote is not the case and we can see it released ASAP for PS3.

# 274 juicer420 @ 09/11/12 05:45 PM
It takes 2 weeks to certify the patch. So that's why it wasn't out 2 weeks ago.

It's not a delay...gotta love the internet and misinformation.

So I fire up Madden 13 today and was pleased that their was a title update and I was thinking YES a patch that will fix the zoom cam , but I was let down once again by EA..I have tweeted, sent emails ,made phone calls to EA and I never get a straight answer.Josh Looman has stated on a recent podcast that they were aware of the Zoom Cam problem in CCM early on.This really makes me mad that they new about it early in the dev cycle and just chose not to do anything about it..Please EA fix this ASAP..I have been pushing for a zoom cam and a custom camera option for years...

I'm honestly surprised that they didn't release more info and get specific.

They announced the patch 2 weeks ago, but yet there is very little info on it.

I just hope we see the accel clock fixed for user games in CCM, get rid of that damn gameflow and fix the option to select conventional!

And of course, player editing soon! 2 #32's on my roster is bugging the crap out of me!
