I don't mean like custom playbooks but if I'm running the colts offense and I draft Stacey knight (RG3 copycat) I would like to be able to switch to Carolina's playbook which has a lot of dynamic running plays for the QB

yeah, you hit the nail on the head. Offline Connected Careers is hosted on your console while online has some server side elements. I do not know the specifics behind why or why not.

I think I understand what you are saying. You can still change your playbook before every game in the advanced settings section of the playcall screen but I do understand that you would like to have Playbooks and in game strategy in the strategy menu of Connected Careers, similar to NCAA.

Correct sir. Exactly what I mean. Like Tebow or Peyton in Denver both times the coach changed his playbook to fit his QBs strengths and skill. I've been using your above mentioned workaround but it does not work for practice mode. Anyway thanks for the replys. Any news on a fix for user vs user games being all wacky due to sliders? Had Reggie bush go untouched for 5 tds in one half before I went and put all sliders on 50. But to do this for every user game is insane. Should revert to default online settings.

Will we be able to edit equipment and jersey number for a CC player? Because right now after you pick equipment during the initial creation you can't change it or at least I haven't figured out a way.

And any chance were going to be able to put a sleeve on just one arm like Griffi has on he game? A bunch of players are starting to do that as well.

Yup, sliders will be addressed and working in patch #3

Hey I was wondering about the zoom camera angle is it tweaked or is it the same one in play now that we have now. This camera angle would be great if it was moved up more than so low to the ground. I wish they left in the zoom cam from madden 12 I thought that was great and don't know why it isn't and option in this one, could of been called zoom 2. Thanks

The actual angle wasn't touched. It will be the same as it is now.

You will have to create them as you cannot edit the canton greats roster.
 
# 592 sooner1 @ 10/08/12 08:05 PM
Thanks for your help bud. Like I said d line playing like it does in practice mode would go along way in helping the D overall.
 
# 593 Dave58 @ 10/08/12 08:26 PM
One thing I don't understand they put legends in the game and u can bearly use them. This is one of the only reasons why I purchased this game and I can't even trade to there teams to play with them and aganst them. But it's just like ea to put something in the game and do it half ***.
 
# 594 Danimal @ 10/08/12 08:36 PM
Two questions if I could ask them.

1. Has the AI running game been looked at? To me the issue seems to be the RB will attempt too many jukes in the backfield instead of hitting the hole for a 2-3 yard gain. When this happens 10-15 times a game that can account for 20-40 yards of rushing.

2. This is more a curiosity question but what does fatigue affect? Does it do anything more than make it easier for the player to get hurt?

Thanks
 
# 595 Rjrosco @ 10/08/12 08:48 PM
Will the accel clock work properly in player mode when iam off the field, in supersim. CPU only takes 10 seconds off the clock every play. In 10 minute quarters I usually have 35 minutes Possession to the CPU 5 minutes.

Thank you

You guys have stated the sliders will work the same in both CCM and Play Now but that hasn't addressed the question if any of the sliders actually got fixed or improved. The pass reaction slider didn't work in Play Now either. It was so useless that people were debating as to whether it was backwards or not. If we can't tell the difference between a slider at 0 or 100 it is broken. I think all the sliders need to be made more powerful period. With a true 100 point system there is no reason not to.

No question the lack of intelligence of the cpu RB hurts their running game. I also think the super toned down speed burst hurts as well. When there is a hole the cpu RB doesn't hit it hard. Too often they will be covering the ball instead of exploding through the hole.

This is something that is hard to fine-tune in Madden because Madden's RB slider is just a broken tackle slider. That is redundant with the defense's tackling slider. NCAA has a RB Ability slider which juices the RB's speed and other attributes. It would be nice if Madden's RB slider worked the same way so we can give the cpu RB some extra juice. Most NCAA slider sets do this to help the cpu running game.

Legends can be used often in Ultimate Team.

You can do co-op in the sense that you play with your opponent. You cannot control multiple teams though

#1. AI has been looked at for all game modes overall but it is still not where it needs to be. This could potentially be looked at with a tuner but I am unsure at the moment.

#2. I will have to get 100% clarification on this, but I believe it affects all ratings negatively the more fatigued a player is.

It should but I will have to confirm with Josh.
