No need for the "duh" comment, son. When it comes to EA's games (especially Madden) you have to be specific and detailed about a question. "Custom" could just mean a roster used after trades and stuff. It may NOT include created players. Which is why I asked.

Now since I don't have the game yet and you do, tell me this: If I'm playing CCM and I see moves made by another team such as benching Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers by the CPU for a rookie QB that they drafted, can I instantly go to that team and edit their roster?

Thanks, Andy! This is how you answer a question and help others in a forum.

I don't know the inner working of Tibouran.

Anything beyond that is pure speculation.

I'll speculate that what happened with M13 is similar to what happened with many games these days. I speculate that Tiburon was pressed into releasing the game 'as is' and 'fix it later', per the suits.

I further speculate that this happens with more frequency in this console generation (and generations to come) because games get bigger, fancier, and much more code-heavy than the games of yesteryear.

At any rate, that's my guess.

Thanks again for the patch! Hope it works as advertised.

# 367 TMJOHNS18 @ 10/04/12 02:36 PM

Patch looks interesting, gonna wait till I can actually see it's impact before I praise it.

If you started your CCM as a real coach and not a created one, in this instance, you can switch from controlling your team, take over as coach of the team you want to change.....make the changes, then switch back to your original team. It isn't "true" 32 team control and could take forever to do it for every team, but it is an option.

# 369 ocho cuatro @ 10/04/12 02:42 PM

Good to see EA dedicate so many resources to the patch!

If they fix the CPU play calling, I may finally buy this game.

I didn't see the answer to that in this thread but thanks for letting me know. And you are sure that existing offline CCM will be able to edit and change coaching schemes? I thought that only online CCM would get concurrent patches.

# 371 Stacks @ 10/04/12 02:47 PM

Will we be able to edit the names and other information like height, weight, school, and skin tone of the generated draft classes? I hate the generic names so much and how they sometimes don't match the player and also how there are so many players from smaller schools.

Don't mind him, he likes sounding superior.

The changes in the patch will definitely be for both offline and online CCM

# 373 jfus0623 @ 10/04/12 03:25 PM

Are you able to bring custom playbooks into CCM?

# 374 bigbob @ 10/04/12 03:25 PM

I mentioned it earlier but it never got a response.

So we're able to play offline CCM co-op now, but still no online CCM co-op?

Oh I had a feeling this was the case, Turbo. A time-consuming run around, but this cat shot off in his response as if it was a legit editing feature or option to control functions on other rosters.

This is from an EA Community Manager, Dewiel, that posted this yesterday.

Post #47.

For those of you asking, you will not need to restart your Connected Careers for many of the new items like Edit Player and Draft Clock, but you would need to do so if you were looking to use a custom roster for an offline CCM.

# 377 DetroitStyle @ 10/04/12 03:35 PM

Still awaiting word on the run/pass splits in played games. Where you at emmdot!?

It's too bad I'm hearing assisted tackles won't be fixed. I guess it's not a real killer in the grand scheme of things but it is annoying to have that empty stat column in the game.

# 378 trey2k198003 @ 10/04/12 03:52 PM

Again the list is nice and I am glad there trying but who cares if you have to wait a year for player editing or offline Co OP to be put back in those are not that important fixing the zone coverage bug that people exploit online and the CPU clock management and uniform Errors are more important then player editing and offline Co OP the only feature I might use is the custom rosters if it means I am able to take the weekly roster updates in CCM so while everything else was nice these 3 things are far more important then player editing and offline Co OP as I can't play online anymore cuz of the zone defense bug people are exploiting it like no tomorrow id trade offline Co OP for this being fixed why not fix it with a tuner update since they have that future what good is it to have it then.not use it if it's something.that can be fixed via tuner then I would trade player editing for uniform errors being fixed and offline Co OP for cpu clock management being fixed fact is those 2 things could of waited until Madden 14 go

who cares? we care! the fact is there not going to fix everything its a video game it will never e perfect. my whole point is be hapy there trying and live in what you have and not so much in what you do not. if you fix zone blocking people will complain about line play you fix line play people will complain about something else or another. also look at the list of fixes again its not only co op and edit player. a.i. difficulty alone and being able to change schemes are great fixes!

# 379 jwtucker710 @ 10/04/12 03:57 PM

Wow! I'm impressed! Good job Turburon. But please, for M14, let users have the ability to import draft classes from NCAA.

This is what I'm wondering as well. I know we can edit, but can we edit any player on any team or our own players only? Also can we rename and change the appearance of drafted players? If we can, then it looks like I'll be at least add 25-30 real prospects each year.

Either way great job EA, October 16th can't get here fast enough.
