Don't worry. Give it a week or 2 and everybody will be back to hating the game again.

# 262 stoncold32 @ 10/04/12 01:33 AM

Is this going to fix the man-coverage bug also?

And the DB 45 degree angle glitch where both dbs simultaneously backpedal off the field at a 45 degree angle...that needs to be fixed too.

wht about playng opposite teams in offline CCM is that possible as well?

Until EA does not bring back what has been given to us for ever not only in Madden but any sports game the ability to use more then one team in a season or more users in a season then this game is still a scripted mode and not sim.... Sorry but I dont want to start a season and see a ton of moves that are not part of the real NFL. That is fine for those fantasy lovers but why take away what sim lovers have always had. I have not touched madden since week 2 that it came out.

And 2k13 isn't broken with all the issues going on?? Lol, u can't even save an association right now AMONG others things. So 2k13 isn't the holy Grail either ......

# 266 justinwhitaker11 @ 10/04/12 02:27 AM

I was so close to trading this in for 2k. Glad I didn't at the moment. Hopefully this patch works. Mainly the difficulty and the sliders. I can deal with most the other stuff as long as the game play is solid and challenging.

# 267 BlastX21 @ 10/04/12 02:31 AM

This is what patch 2 should have been.

# 268 droopizzle34 @ 10/04/12 02:48 AM

happy to ave player editing back, but i woulda liked to have seen some fixes to defense, especially zone defense.

You're missing my point, I think, but the patch itself is good news either way, so I won't belabor the issue. No biggie.

Anyway, back on topic, hopefully the patch works out for a lot of people. I understand there are still questions about some scheme/AI logic (I didn't get far enough to speak to that) so hopefully that will seem improved with the release. Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing how the game feels to me after not trying it since release.

# 270 hyacinth1 @ 10/04/12 03:29 AM

sorry if this has been already asked but will the patch let you choose the uniforms of the other team in CCM?

# 271 prey2god @ 10/04/12 03:29 AM

You see people! You complain and tell it like it is and you shall receive. People who complained about people complaining...now what? Do you expect a game to be half made and enjoy it for your hard earned money?

We have a voice and we can be heard. Thank you all to making this happen. I'm sure i'm not the only one that kept complaining to Looman on twitter about all this every week.

# 272 Cras @ 10/04/12 03:50 AM

Figures, right after I go and trade in the game they announce that FINALLY CMM rosters can be edited.

Oh well, all the other things busted in the game, I wont be missing it.

# 273 Da Original Don Dada @ 10/04/12 04:06 AM

Finally can pick it up now

# 274 jgreengutta @ 10/04/12 04:09 AM

@hyacinth1 no one has answered the question...so most likely nope lol

# 275 kongemeier @ 10/04/12 04:10 AM

I only have one thing to add... Is it October 16th yet!?

Awesome patch... if it works as intended

# 276 TarHeelPhenom @ 10/04/12 04:24 AM

I promise you I was just telling my best friend that I haven't really played Madden at all this year. It just had too many things missing. I actually Redboxed this game and have kept it so long that it's been paid off. If this patch works correctly then i have to say Madden, NBA 2k13 and NCAA Football 13 will be getting equal run. My excitment comes from:

1) Coach Mode- Coach Mode is the only thing I have played in NCAA and I've had a blast with it. I enjoy see guys perform or get abused without my help and seeing the guys I recruit come in and wreck shop or be busts. Now, the NFL Draft will mean more to me because I won't be able to take a 62 rated LB and turn him into a tackling machine based on my stick skills. Now, if I put him out there and he don't have the skills...I'm done!

2) Editing- I've always been on the side of giving the gamer the ability to customize the game as he see's fit...especially when it comes to player editing. Now we have that again.

3) Being able to change your scheme. Again it's all about customization. If I wanna "hire a new DC or OC in theory" then i'll just change my scheme.

4) CPU AI Fixes- It's the engine that drives the game period and it's extremely critical in Coach Mode games. Excited to see what happens.

It's not simply complaining. It's constructive criticism that actually improves the game.

Well constructive criticism can get you so far when you get no response, which will lead to complaints when a product intentionally takes out key features in it's product.

But I do hear what you're saying. I'm just glad they took the time to try to make their fans happy and I am happy.

# 280 NinersFan49 @ 10/04/12 04:54 AM

Great news! Looking forward to finally diving into CCM. Thanks to all here who identified issues and kept "complaining"!
