I did not see this coming. And now the game will take off with the community edits.

Fixed an issue where the Accelerated Clock did not function in an online CCM game when the option was set to On.

I am curious about this. Accelerated clock functions in CCM, but only when I have the ball (playing as QB). It doesn't work for the computer....so time of possession in a 60 minute game usually ends up with my team having the ball for 56 minutes, and the CPU has is for 4.

Is this what has been fixed?

I asked the same question and didn't get an answer. We need to know if these changes will affect existing offline CCM or if we need to start a new one for the changes to be in.

Your number 1 priority isn't always someone else's number 1 priority.

A lot of people didn't purchase Madden because editing was taken out. Their voices were heard.

It was answered earlier in the thread.

You may continue using your existing CCM.

I'm talking about creating a QB, then playing as that QB in a CCM as coach. Looks like we'll be able to do this now after the patch... woot

# 347 swiftychampleone @ 10/04/12 01:11 PM

So does this mean I can create players, put 'em on a team and play with them in Connected Careers? Is coach Mode like old Franchise Mode where I play as a team, select plays, run the play myself, do off-season management, etc? These modes can be confusing, you know? :-)

Finally, can I control all 32 teams? No one has answered this question in the entire thread and it's been asked twice.

I don't agree with the first part.

Josh Looman, all along, said they would not add things back in till they knew for sure it would work. Apparently, now it works after much more testing.

Agree with your second part, but based on the fact that they worked two years on CCM, that wasn't happening.

# 349 kc10785 @ 10/04/12 01:26 PM

First off I am impress with this list

My main concern is with stuff that take place on the field. What about the AI in busted zone coverage. In cover 2 or cover 2 man the safeties just stand there instead of playing there deep half. What about the defense against the zone read play. Everybody runs towards the running back every time? I'm not bashing EA but I just want to know about the problems that's taking place on the field outside of CCM games?

Do you have the game? CCM is like franchise. And the question about controlling 32 teams has been answered at least 3 times. You can only control 1 team. 4 players can play on one team I believe.

# 351 cuttingteeth @ 10/04/12 01:29 PM

I'm surprised no one has mentioned that we can now change the goofy, made up names of incoming players drafted to best match their counterparts. Then again, are we allowed to change them all (or just per the team we control) since 32 team control isn't exactly specified..? Pretty much my only burning question at the moment.

For some things like a custom roster, yes you will have to restart. To edit a uniform Josh said no you will not have to restart.

The first part is a yes from what I understand. After the patch, we'll be able to create a QB, RB, or whoever and put him on a team... then start a connected careers as a head coach and that guy will be on the selected team to play with.

Finally!!

for the 109th time yes you can create multiple players for coach mode, "custom rosters" --DUH

and if you use and existing coach you can already control all 32 teams now...

what a joke?? ungrateful ....

But does this fix where you can't trade anymore? It says "Fixed an issue where after declining a trade offer, you are no longer able to accept or decline another offer." Does that me it will be fixed?

These were the main things I wanted to see get fixed. Amazing. We are in the playoffs in our league and injuries are STILL resetting! And no, I just can't turn on pre-existing injuries because it WONT ALLOW ME!

they cant fix assisted tackles in 13 its a conflict between the infinity engine and the animations, i dont know what you mean when you say stats but i see all the stats i need. the preexisting injuries work for me so your problem who knows... they fix all these problems and you still find ways to put them down.. ungrateful i wish they never did this cause people already bought it , why fix if people are just going to complain

# 358 phantomremix @ 10/04/12 02:00 PM

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!! COACH MODE IN CONNECTED CAREERS!!!!!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After my self imposed "hoopla" period wound down, I'm disappointed that 32 team control didn't return...

I personally only have two remaining issues:

1) CPU Run / Pass splits in played games

2) The sim engine

I'd be fine with them fixing those two issues or giving me the control over the 32 teams coach philosophy section that would make it possible for me to fix them myself...

Then again, currently there's really no Coach Philosophy dashboard / section, so the former might be more possible than the latter...

Anyway:

I'm okay with the patch list...it's quite impressive...

I just hope that these two remaining issues are addressed, if not this year...certainly for 14...

# 360 N51_rob @ 10/04/12 02:03 PM

Who ever was complaining about the Bears pants, I feel your pain. Washington has worn their gold nike pants several times this year, yet they are not in the game. I doubt there will be anymore uniform fixes this year sadly. Sucks for fans of teams that have inaccurate uniforms.
