# 202 themaddenfan1 @ 10/03/12 10:02 PM

well thissucks cause i dont have xbox live

# 203 TurboTitan @ 10/03/12 10:03 PM

Alright EA.....your have exceeded my expectations 10 fold. I will admit, I thought there was ZERO chance you would add player editing to online CCM and custom rosters to Offline CCM. Happy to admit you proved me wrong. Can't wait till the patch now and starting both my online and off-line CCM's. Great work! (as long as these additions don't break something else.......)

# 204 Formula1Racing @ 10/03/12 10:04 PM

Oh, the end of game highlights in CCM not showing up like in Play Now and MUT. I hope they address this.

# 205 CT Pitbull @ 10/03/12 10:08 PM

so if they did NOT fix the Bears away orange pants can we now edit the opponents uniforms in a single player CCM??

# 206 roadman @ 10/03/12 10:09 PM

I think we can feel confident that when EA said they wanted to make sure everything would work properly(ie editing, co-op etccc) they were not shining us on.

# 207 jethrotull @ 10/03/12 10:13 PM

Can you edit the draft picks?

# 208 Darth Aegis @ 10/03/12 10:16 PM

Wow omg !!! I was a big doubter on them fixing anything and I will be one to eat my words its sucks we had to wait this long but this is very exciting and can't wait till the 16th!!!

I'm at work and don't have time to go through all the comments that usually answer my questions so If someone could help me out that would be awesome.

Am I to believe, now that we can take an edited roster into CCM, I can create...lets say two created players, put them on the steelers then start CCM as a Mike Tomlin or a created coach and then a friend and myself can play as our created players ala last years franchise?

If they add assisted tackles, they will break the stats.

Sim engine doesn't have assisted tackles.

Really happy they didn't track assisted tackles.

Yes to co-op in CCM and using customised/edited rosters in CCM, imagine that would include created players but not 100%.

Over the moon with the co-op in CCM news.

# 212 Hoos @ 10/03/12 10:27 PM

I refuse to get overly excited about this patch and all it "claims" to address/fix

It all looks good in black and white but we'll see if all of this stuff is actually taken care of post patch. I've been conditioned over the past 5 years or so to hope for the best but expect the worst when it comes to Madden games.

Here's to hoping they come through this time :beer:

Same here. I'm still speechless

In a good way :-)

# 214 ProbieByKO @ 10/03/12 10:30 PM

So, will all future roster updates now be for only "play now and online?" -with the option to export to ccm?

Since custom rosters can now be used for ccm does that negate the need for separate ccm roster updates?

I guess what I'm asking is are all roster updates going to be "universal" for all modes now?

# 215 kingsofthevalley @ 10/03/12 10:31 PM

Now we're talking. I can continue my NCAA dynasty now for the draft classes. Editing smooths over a lot of things.

Disappointed that you cant edit player positions in CCM but being able to edit everything else and use custom rosters makes up for it. YES, I was one of the people who traded in M13 but it only cost me under $3. NO, I dont regret selling it. YES, I will be buying M13 again. WOW!!! Cant believe that EA came through. The world must be coming to an end or something because I feel like im in the Twilight Zone.

Hopefully when it says we can edit equipment and "information", they consider their position part of the "information". If not......hey, I am happy with not having my 1st round HB wearing a kickers face mask anymore.

# 217 akita7334 @ 10/03/12 10:41 PM

I read through the update and it is not clear. Is this update for both Online and Offline CCM?

Quote:


	Custom Rosters Offline: Added the ability to start an offline career with a custom roster.

All of these updates except the one above will be for Online CCM? and you will not have to restart your online CCM?

They put all this in, and left out Player Position Editing? If you change your scheme you still cant change your players position?

Can you at least move a Tackle to Guard? Not being able to edit player positions makes schemes pointless. Am I wrong on this? Position editing is essential.

If you can't edit player positions what's the point of having schemes? What about that rookie you draft as a QB but maybe you want to use at WR? Or a CB to S? DE to RE? Not having position editing doesn't allow you to really take full advantage of the schemes that have been added this year.

Does anyone else understand what I am talking about?

# 218 JayD @ 10/03/12 10:44 PM

Was there a duplicate number fix for offline CCM?
