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.

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!
I will say, they didn't release the info on the patch. At least not intentionally, until very recently. At one point the main twitter account was denying that 9/11 was the date.

The patch will be released when Sony updates PSN and all that. Every Tuesday...it's normally around 6pm EST/3pm PST.

All I care about now is just stability in the servers. I've even put my ps3 in DMZ mode and gave it a static IP. Still "EA servers are not available" and kicks me out anytime I do anything past the main menu in CCM or MUT.

Since it's been announced by EA, I would assume it's coming today. They wouldn't claim that without getting the go-ahead from Sony.

Things happen sometimes though, so it's not like it's a 100% guarantee.

Actually, the store has already updated. Patches aren't tied to the store push - they can come at any time of the day/night. And there usually isn't a time attached to it.

Try a Colts game with roof open. Clear weather, 1pm kick off. The sun doesnt cast any shadow on the field, and the floodlights are on. Absolute joke that got past testing

Cannot believe you cannot play co-op CCM's. I have been playing 2-player with my cousin for years, and now we can't. I hope they update this issue as well. I mean you can play 2 player in PLAY NOW mode, but theey can't do it in CCM? C'mon MAN!!!

Bull, it's tightend the phyics of players jumping around like ragdolls once the player is tackled.

The IE looks more polished and cleaned.
 
# 289 j_koerth @ 09/11/12 06:07 PM
Do you think there will be a patch so we can play 2 players in Offline Careers? Can't see why not, if they already have it for play now mode? Any thoughts?

I agree... would love to be able to create a QB and have him on the texans while I do a CCM as head coach of the Texans. I'm actually surprised this wasn't already available in the game to begin with.

Same! Apparently they left that feature out this year b/c people were creating entirely new rosters and using franchise mode on older versions of madden instead of buying the new one.. (hindering ea's sales..)

but I cant think of a legit reason why they would take it away... it was one of the most fun aspects of the game.

I can cosign with this. Just got finish playing a game and the physics has been adjusted for the better. Also Your not getting that foolishness after the play people stumbling over each other.
 
# 296 TeamBuilder @ 09/11/12 06:23 PM
So do we know yet what this actually fixes (specifically)? I can't seem to find a list anywhere.
 
# 297 HC0023 @ 09/11/12 06:26 PM
WHISTLE WHISTLE still waiting for the patch PS3
 
# 298 andyacecandy @ 09/11/12 06:27 PM
Uhhh Game Face is still available and this is AFTER the patch

So, on my computer when I make the Game Face, it looks pretty good... almost spot on. Then, when I go into the game and upload the Game Face, it looks AWFUL.

Look at the 2 pics below:



 
# 299 steamboat @ 09/11/12 06:29 PM
I don't think its to clean up appearance. If you have a coach gameface it causes all sorts of stability problems on CCM. Not that Online CCM is stable, but it effects offline CCM's too.
