So...I did have to change my panties half way thru reading the patch details...

You guys have no idea how torn I am between HC and M13 now though...now they both have an equal amount (okay i'm being slightly generous here but HEY doesn't it feel like Christmas?) of positives and negatives each side.

I do feel much better though that maybe even by M14, the HC offseason (is that not the best part of any football game made ever btw?) will be an integral part of the new Madden series. Like I said, I'm so torn, like which scouting process do I like better HC or M13? I dunno??? I love the Pro Days, and Individual workouts, but I love the POT being 86'd. I'm not sure how I feel about the development in M13 though, I think between playbook knowledge and practices HC still has the advantage there with individual player development.

But I digress, and I could go on for hours saying M13 is better with this but HC is better with this, but M13 is better at this and ... so on...

All I want is HC hidden inside the grooves of a Madden Blu-ray and well, color me tickled me elmo.

What about the DB 45 degree angle glitch? That happened to me a couple of times and I also read it on an Amazon review for the game as well as saw it in a thread on this forum, so I know it wasn't just me. Anyway, I traded the game in already. But it's nice to see that they've addressed a lot of the concerns with this game.

Saints throw, Packers throw, Pats throw, Ravens grind you, Bears grind you, etc. Also, late game AI. Has it been fixed quite simply? 2) Can we please select the CPU uniforms in CCM? The Chicago Bears have orange pants by default for goodness sake... and that leads to my major issue, the art clean-up that is needed on the uniforms. KANE on these very forums has been communicating with Donny Moore and other EA reps, and he has a list of 78 uniform errors in this year's game alone! 78! Now obviously some are more minor than others. There are still glaring errors and omissions present though. The Panthers stripes on the Nike jerseys are reversed and cut off. The Bears don't have their Navy Blue Nike pants. The Giants missing stripes is finally mentioned as getting fixed, but what about some other uniforms that simply need fixing? Not to sound ungrateful. Not at all. Just wish, whether through a roster update, or a tuner, or even DLC we could get the uniform errors corrected this year.

Ravens, with the no-huddle, aren't as run-heavy as they used to be.

Otherwise, you bring up some good points and hopefully we get some clarification on at least a few of them.

Good point, substitute Jacksonville or Minnesota for Baltimore then.

Complaining about complainers. That will make it better.

sigh.

# 190 lendog691 @ 10/03/12 09:37 PM

It seems there is still some major flaws left unattended. My two sticking points are teams playing like they do in real life and total roster control for every team, this has been there in the past, why not this year?

You know what hans, I was starting to think the same thing 1/2 way through reading this thread but then I realized something. We should all continue complaining (some do it correctly, some don't and we can't help that since complaining isn't even the right word) to get what each of us want individually.

A lot of items were addressed and I think it is okay, to say, okay, now fix this next, so now I'm not so annoyed with the people that complained by mentioning things they wanted fixed that didn't get fixed.

I'm just ignoring those that complain for no reason, we all can see through those posts quickly enough.

NOW, I'm headed to the Little Things thread to put in allll my suggestions now that there is hope <3

OH, what about them fixing being able to see the draft prospects ratings in the team needs section!!! THAT one surprised me the most they fixed. WoW

I'm also hoping a lot of things will be fixed when we get the patch that weren't mentioned just because they were too obvious or menial to mention in the patch notes....like Wind Direction for one.

Good question would like to know this as well. No point having a player mode if the supersim is totally broken.

Love all the other updates thou, didn't think it would be happening this year, great job EA

EXACTLY!!!

That's why I'd give CCM additions in patch an A and gameplay additions an F!!

What about this problem?:

Whenever I try to make a trade, I get this message: "Your trade offer could not be submitted at this time, Please try again later." I've tried enabling and disabling trades, removing the title update, then re-installing it, proposing trades during the preseason, regular season, and every off season stage but alas, no dice. I've had this problem for over two seasons and it doesn't matter if I try to trade picks, future picks, or players, I keep getting that message. There are no longer proposals for my players that I put on the trade block, there are no longer any players on the trade block from other teams, there no option to attempt to trade up or down while the Draft is in progress. I have absolutely no idea what to do anymore and it would be much appreciated if I could get an answer for my problem..

# 196 tgiordano @ 10/03/12 09:53 PM

you dodge the third question in his post. will the ps3 still crash after you try to turn the game off on the xmb?
it seems like it is not , because the question was not answered

# 197 CubFan23 @ 10/03/12 09:54 PM

Coach mode!!!! YES!!!

Read the patch notes. They said they fixed the trading issues so you should be good when the patch comes out.

Happy to see the following updates.

Though I have a concern about the following:
[*]Fixed an issue where Offline Gameplay AI/Logic did not match the logic in Play Now.
[*]Fixed an issue where League Sliders had limited impact on difficulty.

Will this effect the AI in "Online CCM" as well?

How much impact will "League Sliders" have now? How much can they effect gameplay, for example "QB Accuracy" at 0, will we be lucky to have any completions?
