Some have noted that running plays are too highly rated and numerous for first downs or all downs in general. If neither of these options has been addressed at least now you know two potential causes of it. Again, the issue is the CPU favoring the run too highly in games PLAYED (not games simmed).

No word on this yet, I hope to have an answer soon.

EmmDot,

Will we be able to edit rookie names, height and weight, and school information after they have been drafted?

This right here is what we don't need in the forums. Let me guess, we're supposed to just settle for this and call it?

# 626 ramspeedkill @ 10/09/12 01:31 PM

Emmo,

can we select CPU's unis on offline ccm?

# 627 BTownSlinger @ 10/09/12 01:34 PM

I was bashing EA for having no editing.. I purchased Madden '13 in anticipation of the next patch. I'm excited about it, I like what I see thus far in CCM. Could be better, some changes here and there.

Not excited about needing an online pass just to download roster & tuners, but I'll wait till the patch is released and use the two-day demo to do so.

'12 even without an online pass you could get the downloads. A bit of a cheap move by them, put a bad taste in my mouth.

# 628 Lieutenant Dan @ 10/09/12 01:37 PM

EmmDot, thanks again for being here and responding to our never-ending questions

We all want the best possible Madden.

Was this a design decision or just an oversight?

Also, really hope something can be done to tune the sim stats. It sucks as a big stats guy to know that the numbers are so far off the mark.

Boy, THIS post hit me like a brick!! Memory Issues!! This explains why a lot of things we would like to see, we don't!

Emm, next time you talk to Josh, give him a gentle nudge and whisper, "2 disc Madden, Player Disc, Coach Disc"

LOL

Yeah, you can tell we're nearing the end of the 360 cycle when Madden devs are hitting their heads on the hardware's ceiling.

Looking for some great stuff in M15 onward on the new boxes, and hopefully no back-sliding like Madden 06 when they made the next-gen leap. It took years to get good again.

# 629 jinc1019 @ 10/09/12 01:42 PM

Hey everyone, I am sure this has been brought up but I don't have a ton of time so I am hoping someone can answer this qucikly: Any word on fixing the physics? It seems to me that the tackling is completely broken now after the last big patch and I hoping it gets fixed in this one.

# 630 NDAlum @ 10/09/12 01:47 PM

First, let me say I appreciate the conversation between EmmdotFrisk and the community.

Next I want to comment on a couple of your qoutes:

You are referencing before they are drafted, correct?

Are we able to edit their equipment once we draft them onto our team?

____________

Lastly, since you are open to some suggestions, I'd like to say a few of my own:

#1- Pursuit angles. They are downright terrible at times. In my latest game I had a FS rated 86 OVR with mid 80's AWR & PRC & PUR completely stop briefly when running after a HB. If interested I have video on the play. It will be uploaded tonight. There are TWO plays in the video that highlight the bad pursuit angles.

#2- The WR/DB interaction is severely lacking

#3- HB break tackle animations are too slow. I have found it next to impossible to break a tackle and get solid YAC.

#4- The lead passing on seam routes is ridiculous and an exploit. The WR has such a huge advantage on this it isn't even funny. Unfortunately the DB AI just can't keep up with this route.

#5- Lack of true momentum:
-- On punt returns you see guys go 100mph down the field and they can turn on a dime to tackle the return man.
-- When HB's cut/spin they don't even slow down!
-- You can user control a defender and roam the field without much effect from changing directions.

#6- The CCM Practice mode needs to be overhauled. I could go into great depth about some ideas if interested.

# 631 CaptianBackwoods @ 10/09/12 01:53 PM

So if I start a CC as Joe Montana I'll be able to edit his gear, and whatnot?

Eeek! Just connecting the dots, I take it this isn't part of the upcoming patch? I think a few of us were hoping that playcalling fell under one of the listed fixes.

Can the following position changes below be made to a CCM that is already underway? Also how about for private Online CCM's with only 1 user? Thanks EmmdotFrisk.

LE to RE
LG to RG
LT to RT
LOLB to ROLB

# 634 RogueHominid @ 10/09/12 03:01 PM

This sounds really encouraging.

So if I have an existing CCM, I can edit player equipment and appearance without starting a new one?

And I can edit coach schemes without starting a new CCM?

I could care less about the attributes, so if these things are true, I'm stoked.

Do I have this right?

I'll give props to this kind of community-oriented post-launch support. This is a major addition to the game. Kudos.

CPU on field improvements yes, CPU playcalling I am not sure.

There is no editing abilities for CCM at this point but after the patch you will be able to edit the above.

Now will you be able to edit the basic player info and coach schemes from within existing CCMs once the patch drops?

I know ratings can't be touched, but the other stuff?

I sure hope this is fixed. Accurate playcalling is a must for playing vs the CPU (at least as accurate as you can make it with run vs pass ratios).

Thank you for all of the interaction on here Emmdot.

# 639 STLRams @ 10/09/12 03:26 PM

If accurate playcalling didn't make it in this patch, please EA make sure it is included in Patch#4.

# 640 dabears10 @ 10/09/12 03:34 PM

Will cold weather games or live weather (no, rain/snow) be available with this patch? Did the day to night progressions get patched (so it works with 7 or 8 min quarters and not just 13+ min quarters? Will BCA uniforms/equipment be available for playnow games? Will the chicago bears navy pants be included in this patch?
