Madden NFL 13 Online Fantasy Drafts Are on the Way

09:16 PM - September 13, 2012 by buddy321813

EA Sports has confirmed Madden NFL 13 online fantasy drafts will arrive tomorrow, in a server side fix for online users. While it's not the editing in CCM most of us were looking for, it is something the community has asked for.

I agree. CCM is EA's baby, and most of us can't play it if we want editing or better late game AI.

While I normally reserve doing fantasy drafts for franchises (or offline CCMs, whatever it's called now) I still call this a win. It's worth keeping the game knowing they are willing to change their product and I'm sure that soon we will have editing too.

I'm glad they didn't just release the game and say, "Here it is! Let us know what you want for next year's game because we're going on vacation for the next three months."

really annoyed that media ran stories about a bunch of loud dork's outrages over fantasy draft...that's why this is in.

this feature is fluff, has nothing to do with sim football. you know what does? everything we can fix with player editing.

there are so many things that simply DO NOT WORK in Madden 13's CC mode, yet they spent time to do this? just ridiculous.

Lastly, they completely missed the boat here, the majority of those who are going to want this feature are going to be OFFLINE players.

whatever.

It seems like EA is catering to the 12-16 year olds who want to throw passes from Aaron Rodgers to Calvin Johnson and run the ball with Darren McFadden while wearing a Buffalo Bills jersey. Just a stupid/useless addition for those of us who play sim ball

I don't understand why u guys r giving EA so much credit for something that should have been in the game in the first place. I for one don't care about Fantasy Draft. But only allowing this for online players is bull. EA is always dropping the ball, period. Hope the NFL realizes that competition is good for everyone and we can see 2K challenge Madden again. Both games were great back then. They need to put custom rosters with created players in CCM. Not. Being able to use custom rosters in CCM is a travesty. And should be a sin

Nope...people on here would always find something to complain about. Always.

This is Madden 13 not Madden 12. It's a new game, with a brand new mode written from the ground up. Fantasy and Editing were not missing features. They have never been in Connected Careers because this is the first edition of CC.

Of course if you feel it would be a good addition, make it a suggestion but not a complaint.

Everyone on this board has made the same suggestions: FIX WHAT'S BROKEN IN CC.

That's all we truly want. The tone of this board would be greatly different if the mode didn't have so many problems, that are being entirely ignored in favour of this junk.

EA can come here and tell us "we're listening guize!" but I challenge them to prove it. Fix the bloody mode, prove it's not the same listening I did with my parents as a kid... "in one ear...and out the other".

Fantasy drafts says they are listening to the media, who made this missing feature into a big deal.

# 190 llcmac @ 09/14/12 09:24 AM

Isn't Fantasy Draft just going to make the inability of number editing more present?

Playing MUT I had soooo many players with the same numbers...really dumb looking. I had Jonathan Joseph, Ike Taylor, and Morris Claiborne as my first 3 CBs.

# 191 Cory Levy @ 09/14/12 09:26 AM

I find it absolutely hilarious that even when EA does something to please the fans and adds in a feature that so many people were seemingly outraged when it could not be implemented this year, they still get an almost infinite load of flak from people on this board.

EA will never be able to win this board over, will it? They could create a perfect Madden that had everything in it and people would still find things to moan and whine about. It makes me laugh.

Oh well, I'll enjoy this year's Madden all I want. If people just want to find things to complain about, that's fine.

I understand that this may be a big deal to some people (I am not one of them), but to me it would seem there are more pressing issues that need to be focused on. Who care's about fantasy draft when single player CCM is broken? The A.I. play calling and running game is terrible regardless of the setting and the majority of people would much rather have the ability to edit players. But EA offer's fantasy draft and tout's the "we listen to our fans" slogan.

I have the Updated patch #2 the Sep 11... I still get the CPU AI to run below avg yards its just impossible for Matt Forte & Darren McFadden to have 18 carries for 20 yrds WTH is this ALL madden running AI is still not balance or something broke along the way cause in ALL madden playoff games & SB theres no challenge ...WTH How about we fix the game gameplay before we start adding fantasy draft.... lol i can wait to see how the salary cap is after just one season with all your 90+ players...lol

IDK why they seem to think the game plays fine.. OMG when i saw a draw play late in the 4th and the CPU is loosing by 14 points with 1:20 to go... in the SB and you run a DRAW... i was like dayuum i know i can play mADDEN but crap i am really this good stopping the run... i mean the CPU gets killed on the run game since their RB cant get out of the backfield.This is even after the patch..For some odd reason the game is saying things at the wrong time .like the fair catch was called but the returnman catches an starts running the ball..thats a penalty in the Real NFL.
Then they focus on adding a feature for what? cause the gameplay still needs tunning...WTH i am missing here put back player Edit period(funcionality).

# 195 NDAlum @ 09/14/12 09:42 AM

Fantasy draft? Ugh

This is a feature I will never utilize so I am not happy with the news. I would have preferred something for everyone, like basic roster editing (switch positions, #, and equipment).

# 196 btvs @ 09/14/12 09:42 AM

So we can't do offline fantasy drafts?

You are an idiot, how many posts do you have to write to try and make your point? You're complaining about a damn video game, enjoy it or don't play. If you want to make an argument, at least spell correctly.

# 198 DeuceDouglas @ 09/14/12 09:54 AM

This isn't that exciting for me. Would have rather had it be player editing but honestly I can't complain if they're adding stuff and showing an effort at post launch support.

Also, it was number one on the GameChangers site so it's not that surprising. Hopefully now they'll take it off of there. There's a ton of great ideas buried in there.

It means start a season with regular rosters or start a season with fantasy rosters with the fantasy draft.

# 200 trey2k198003 @ 09/14/12 11:31 AM

im with the opinion iwould have loved to see a basic roster edit. drafts not that big to me maybe itll be cool to tinker with later on in the year but nah im not to excited. that being said come on guys give e.a. credit for trying! i mean years ago if we got a crappy game we had to just eat it and play on now they listened to the fans and have updated a feature 2-3 weeks after launch not months weeks! that shows me thier at least listening which is a great sign. far as play calling as one guy mentioned.......in every game stupid stuff happens....nba 2k the end of the ame the cpu is losing by 3 and will take a 2point shot.....baseball late game situations make the wrong substitutions or no substitutions at all....its a game fellas lets step back and keep that in mind. and enjoy the GAME because thats all itis.
