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.

dude, calm down it will come out today. XBOX nearly always gets patches earlier in the day then PS3 does. Not sure why, but nearly every major patch XBOX beats PS3 to the punch.

I scanned through the post but didn't see any confirmation other than a few mentions of it.

Can someone confirm if online user vs. user CCM games get the accelerated clock now? Or does the accelerated clock still only work for user vs. CPU in CCM?

I don't know if this is true, and i don't understand what it means exactly, but several posters on the EA Forums are saying that this is why no changes are evident yet even after getting the update.

I'm kind of hoping it is, and that's why no changes are noticeable yet.

I'll look through the threads again and post a link when I find it.

I repeat, nothing officially said by EA, just the word in a few threads on the forum.
I'm glad you cleared that up, it is hearsay. Nothing has been mentioned anywhere on their boards about this (by EA). I see a few posters saying things but that doesn't mean squat. I've played a few games in my already running offline CCM and it doesn't appear that there are now new or worse problems than before.

Yea it is true, that would be a Sony issue not EA.

Everyone's mileage varies. I am really enjoying the game, more so than years past. I prefer tweaks to the current, maybe a few "tertiary" fixes (uniforms, gameface, sound fixes), rather than adding anything that could screw the current game up. Anything to match the Online CCM with the Offline CCM would be great to.

But the lynch mob mentality persists.

We are all frustrated we have a game that is incomplete. But what else can you do?

I am playing other games. No reason to get worked up over a video game.
We were sold a product and we'd like to use it the way we were told we could.

Imagine buying a car and being told after that they'll add the A/C knob later. It's only gonna be so long driving around hot that you give up. Yeah, it's usable but c'mon.

This is why I usually trade Madden in a quarter into the NFL season. Broken at release, patches promised, takes forever, loss of interest, trade in...

It's genius, though. They get the money and we get an unfinished product that we won't get a full return on when we trade it in.

So, yeah, people are frustrated.

Sorry, man, but I ain't buying that. It feels different but not THAT different.

A buddy of mine just told me that his schemes are now saving in offline ccm. Can anyone here confirm this or is he just yanking my chain?

Yes, very genius.

There is nothing for you to "buy" it is a fact. What steamboat said was factual whether you choose to believe it or not is your prerogative, no matter how incorrect you are.

I believe Sony runs on PST (Pacific) so expect the patch around 3PM EST (Eastern). Just experience from previous patch schedules.

I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one. Centers not playing the post and tossing up threes non stop and player roles being so incorrectly implemented they had to be turned off to play an association were major out of the box issues for NBA. MLB is just an all around poor game but the injury management and framerate issues were also major problem at launch. Unfortunately that's just where we are ay in today's annual release cycle. We have to deal with the double edge sword of patches, games ship with more issued but at least developers have the ability to fix them. This to me is where ea is light years behind. 2K does a great job of listening to fans and fixing issues and does an especially good job of fixing big issues quickly. Ea has a track record of fixing non importantow hanging fruit and never getting to the impactful issues along with occasionally breaking working items in the process.

Yep they save for me now. That is the only difference I have noticed.

Glad schemes are now saving! Thanks for confirming.

Your created player can be a starter instantly now also, I'm told.

What about injuries resetting and the xp balance between online/offline? Anyone been able to confirm those as fixed?
 
# 119 candide @ 09/11/12 12:21 PM
Is there any way somebody who has downloaded the update (I guess on XBOX) can tell us if there are any differences, and if so, what they are? I'm just curious about what is included in this update.

As for what people are talking about, I hated this Madden out of the box. But then I started playing it, and the more I play CCM the more I like it. I love what they are doing, and I can't wait to see the mode once the bugs are worked out. I like the idea of giving us something new after 10 years instead of just updating what they had, which would have been far safer and easier.
