The playcalling is going to be a make it or break it feature for me. I just can't play a football game where pass heavy teams run all the time. It's like playing a baseball game where the pitcher only throws curveballs.

Great, I should have prefaced by saying when the patch drops.

Thanks

I agree so much. These CPU teams need to play to there identity and player strengths. Then be able to make adjustments in games. Stars need to be stars, role players just that, and lesser players feel like lesser players.

I'm assuming and hoping that the custom rosters stay as is because if not, then whats the point of having it as an option to begin with?

I assume his OVR would still fluctuate based on the scheme.

The important thing to remember is, OVR is really quite irrelevant IMO. It's the players actual ratings that matter. For example, for Moss, a WR... Catch, catch in traffic, route running, release, speed, etc. etc. etc.

Do people seriously not read the first post of this thread?

There is co-op in offline CCM on the same team as a coach. There is no selecting multiple teams.

# 646 ripp1p @ 10/09/12 07:07 PM

I have read you r going to be able to change Le to Re, how? in editing a player or through scheme,or just by putting the player at that position on depth chart?

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.

Those are the main reasons I stopped playing this game, just couldn't take it anymore.

Again another question answered just a page or 2 back but anyways for the 999th time

You can edit the position outside CCM under roster management you can then take that roster into an offline CCM with RE to LE. Once you start a CCM offline or online you can not change position's, you can change equipment but not position or ratings.

Sheesh, they still managed to block me from getting my NCAA draft class in. Cant even change the rookies names AFTER they've been drafted either huh? I cannot tell a lie, that **** just busted my friggin balloon man.

# 650 strife1013 @ 10/09/12 08:40 PM

So I've done a little bit of searching on these forums but I haven't found for certain that assistant tackle cannot be fixed due to the physics engine that is in this years Madden? So as we SOL when it comes to assisted tackles and hoping that it can be patched?

You can not select/use/pick more then 1 team. You can pick only 1 team and have your brother play with you on that same team. That's it no playing CCM vs each other offline

I personally won't wait any longer for patch #4. If the play calling is the same I'm dumping it for NBA 2K13. Tired of waiting and apathy is setting in. I'm with J-Unit, DetroitStyle and everyone else on this.

Update Oz, you can change positions after you've started your CCM from LE to RE, LG to RG...etc.

Agree with that. It makes the game so boring. Cpu get the ball and here we go again, run run run. Basically makes it pointless fixing the sliders and for the slider makers to make a really good set cause the cpu will only run the ball.

Items #1 (whack pursuit angles), #2, and #5 look like the same things said about M12

That's...concerning. Then the CPU playcalling is not addressed? Between this and the modded rosters for M12, looks like I'm rethinking my stance on giving M13 a try...

...again *sigh*

# 657 Darth Aegis @ 10/10/12 01:56 AM

Ya its been a very disappointing football year for fans with this years madden and have not lived up to the hype imo. Looking forward to the patch but not holding my breath. Well see, to many good games coming out in the next months prolly won't even make my rotation and get traded in. Its just unacceptable that we had to wait this long and waste 3 patches in what should of been fixed before the game came out. Just think what they could of done with 3 other patches if this game was tested correctly? instead of wasting them.

# 658 sublime7 @ 10/10/12 02:55 AM

hey EMMDOT, quick question: will the patch do anything to change certain preexisting injuries? such as terrell suggs is listed for 30 weeks, making it impossible for him to play in the nov game that hes apparently scheduled to debut it.

also, when we be able to use a roster update on online ccm? cant find that anywhere. so sick of dennis pitta having to be a 68 in online ccm, when hes a 77 in the current rosters

i would turn off preexisting injuries but its so annoying having every teams injuries wiped out week to week

I rented Madden 12 to see if I could go back. It's hard. The new passing game mechanics and commentary in M13 are a lot better. The Infinity Engine has flaws but I still think it's an upgrade. Plus I felt M12's franchise was boring as I didn't like the scouting (not enough points) or free agency e-bay process. Of course I haven't even tested the draft or free agency yet in M13 so I don't even know how I feel about those yet.

# 660 DJG @ 10/10/12 09:55 AM

Really hope All-madden on CCM is fixed. Throwing for 400-500 yards a game is kinda boring to me. Haven't been able to have a good franchise to keep my interest yet.
