The difficulty setting plays a big part when the team is controlled by a user. Thanks for your input and I will pass this on to the team.

Thanks alot I appreciate it. I just know the Defense is much better in NCAA. The pass leading in Madden just seems more powerful. I like Defense and you simply cant play it in Madden this year versus anyone good. Wish a game tuner or patch could help.

Are total controll passing and purple zones being adjusted for this patch? That would be great if they are.

Can you elaborate on this more? What changed from 12 to 13? I very much enjoyed that feature.

In Madden 13, the pink accessories are apparently showing up when the system clock shows October, but not necessarily when it is October in CCM (as in previous Maddens). I think the way this was done in the previous Maddens was perfect. Is this going to be fixed so that we aren't seeing pink accessories from pre-season to Super Bowl just because we happen to be playing Madden this month?

Thanks for the info, Emmdot. Man, that's too bad. Hopefully the dev team can pull an ace out of their sleeve and figure out a way to get it back into M14.

yes it was a very promising start last year....the Pro's they brought in gave them a good base to build off of

and while I was happy to see the new game intros and Full Team Linups.....other areas such as the camera cuts took a big step back IMO

Ok let me see what I can find out.

No they are not, but the team is aware of the issues and looking into fixing them

I would agree. It should be tied to the CCM calendar, not the real life calendar.

Thanks and i'm not trying to be a jerk, just looking for understanding. If those additions don't effect offline games why would they effect online?

Oh its all good man, I don't see you as being a jerk at all. When you say online what do you mean? It comes down to what can be on the disk, what can be controlled server side, and what the console can handle.

# 576 runsondunkin @ 10/08/12 06:41 PM

Are we goin to be able to change our own playbook? I want to change my playbook based on the players that I have permanently.

This is really important. I'm a coach and I should be able to do this.

The highlights are available for offline games, but not for user vs. user online games.

From what I gather the post game videos that Spencer are talking about are available offline after your game, but not when you play an online CCM game. So I would assume that makes it a server side issue not that I read what you just wrote.

A feature like this, thats in NCAA, isn't in Madden this year. This will be something to include in the future in the coach creation process.
