Well in theory, if what they say is true, then yes why not?

You can actually edit the current players' names this year too, and then give them old school gear as well. So unless they change something, I think roster makers will have all the tools necessary. Pretty cool.

Emmdot, can you confirm that the editing encompasses player names? Specifically the draft class names. Schools would be good, but names are a must. Without the ability to import, I just plan on copying the names and positions of my NCAA classes onto some notebook paper, then replacing the Madden rookie names with my own.

First off, thanks for taking the time to read the threads and address our issues. At least you're communicating with us.

I'm not sure how many patches are allowed for this Madden 32 team control or the choice to edit other teams during CCM appears to be a make-or-break for a lot of us in the forums in terms of getting the game. Is it being investigated for a possible patch for this Madden or being looked at for Madden '14? This can at least let me know what to expect supoort wise for the game.

The only reason that I'm pushed to actually ask this was because EA fixed stuff in this patch that NO ONE in this forum even thought would get fixed (custom rosters in CCM) and it was done. Impressed and I'm still shocked...

On the plus side, I don't think the position requirements are as tough as they used to be - for example, I've only got 1 backup at OT. You should be able to move your DE/LBs on the depth chart, and their ratings will probably change based on their ability at the position they're playing.

# 445 hawksruleva @ 10/05/12 05:45 PM

Will we be able to edit the names of drafted players? If so, can we even edit names of players that have storylines?

Honestly I wouldn't do much of that - the only drafted players I want to edit will be to edit me and some of my friends into the game.

I wish some of you guys would actually read the thread or use the search function to find your answers. I know it's a long thread but this was just answered about 20 posts ago for the 5th time.

This thread would be only 25 pages long if it weren't for the numerous multiple posts asking sometimes the exact same question, on the same page even!

Please, people, learn to follow directions and be considerate of what is trying to be accomplished here. If I were Emmdot, I'd make it through about 10 pages and run out of the room screaming because people are asking the exact same questions that were either answered in the OP or from someone else.

I'm sure Emm is a better person than me though

And let me apologize Emm for all the inane posts on here. Sorry

Now, will I be able to control all 32 teams in CCM?

^that was a joke, just to make sure everyone understands that!

# 448 jethrotull @ 10/05/12 07:42 PM

Will we be able to edit the draft classes before players are drafted?

and what really sucks is that i can't even comment on every question that was already asked, because then all I'Mdoing is adding more garbage to the pile

# 450 Muteki @ 10/05/12 08:33 PM

Maybe someone should compile all of the questions in the thread into one easy-to-read post for emmdotfrisk to read. Let's not chase him away by making him read through 50+ pages of repeated questions that have already been answered. This will also ensure that we get the most common unanswered questions answered.

I think any other patch threads are getting locked, so Emm will just have to muddle through.

# 452 jethrotull @ 10/05/12 10:17 PM

Yeah I read most of the pages just wanted to know if the draft classes can be edited before the actual draft takes place. So can you edit the draft classes before the draft?

# 453 hawksruleva @ 10/05/12 11:31 PM

EmmdotFrisk, thanks for spending some of your extra time responding to questions in this thread. We appreciate it!

I was really annoyed by that at first, but now i kinda like the fact that my subs don't carry over from game to game. i can customize my subs in each game, based on the opposing team. It seems to me there's a bit more time to call plays, so I can sub in a pass rushing DT and DE on the fly.

I find myself switching the subs during the same game now - moving players around to take advantage of matchups.

# 455 studbucket @ 10/05/12 11:48 PM

I have read all 53 pages of this thread and seen this questions asked, but gotten no definitive answer or clarification, so I'm going to list them here. I apologize if I missed something, but I really tried not to.

1) Co-Op: does that just mean on the same console, or can I invite a friend online to play co-op with me in CC?
2) What exactly can be edited for players in Online Connected Career? Is it the same for the commish as all coaches?
3) What are the details around changing scheme? Does this mean I can set my team's scheme to "Multiple DEF", or is it related to changing the positional schemes?
4) Accelerated clock fix: does this mean that accelerated clock now works in user vs user for Online Connected Careers. Kongemeier says so earlier in this thread, but I'm not sure because the wording in the patch doesn't make it clear to me.

Thanks!

# 456 IrOnKoBe @ 10/06/12 12:21 AM

wut about the injury bug where injuries would reset when u go into settings

# 457 stoncold32 @ 10/06/12 12:39 AM

I dont see it, but....is the CPU AI addressed?

The playcalling is downright silly at times. Especially late in the half/end of game

This one is answered in the first post where it says it patched in offline play along which means that you and up to 3 friends can play on the same team on the same console during CCM, no online co-op

# 459 ProbieByKO @ 10/06/12 07:47 AM

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?

# 460 uly27 @ 10/06/12 08:10 AM

so im taking it that if i have a salary cap issue in a online ccm this patch wont fix it??? or will we be able to carry on when the patch arrives?
