My aplogies if this has been addressed already in this thread, but does the ability to edit players mean that we can now import draft classes, or are those two things not related at all?

They are doing a quick fix in M13 to let people edit left-right on certain positions, but in M14 they need to let players shift around all positions that have the same skill packages (a LG should be able to shift anywhere on the o-line because the skill sets are all the same).

They should just let them go anywhere or at the least be put anywhere on the depth chart/formation sub.

The skill set of DT and FB aren't really the same, yet we see some teams putting DTs in to act as FBs on power goal-line runs. Can you do T eligible plays in Madden by subbing an OL at TE? I mean, players have ratings all over the place, including at non-primary skills, and sometimes those skills aren't half bad, and as a coach, you should be able to work on them and as a player, maybe you want to diversify yourself a bit to stick on the roster as a marginal guy or get more involvement as a solid starter.

If formation sub was freed up, then the actual position could be more limited and used for contracts and such and it would make sense to limit it, though I'd like to see the player decide (like Suggs said "no, I'm a DE" one year when the Ravens tried to franchise him) if he'll accept the new designation instead of it being outright banned.

Thanks. Still the fact that editing is now available is a great addition.

# 751 Vero Viper @ 10/12/12 10:58 AM

Does anyone know which week's roster we are getting for CCM with this update? Is it the most current or one from several weeks ago. I could not find this info anywhere.

Whichever one you want. You can load custom rosters. (for offline)

Online I'm not sure.

so ea is going to fix an error on the gaint uniform, but the chicago bears is going to be stuck wearing wearing a freaking orange pant that dont even exist. what a joke.

awesome, thanks for the reply.

are you kidding me? Why would you want to go through the whole league to find out if there are duplicate numbers? This will especially be difficult being that there is no transaction log. I don't see why it should remain broken even with the ability to edit players.

# 756 steamboat @ 10/12/12 03:38 PM

I, for one, would be disappointed if they scrapped the XP system. I don't see them coming up with a realistic system in one dev cycle anyway, and I've always been upset when they do something then take it back the very next year. Is it perfect? No. Can it be improved? Yes. Do I believe that changing positions can coexist with it? Yes, similar to NCAA offseason position changes (which is realistic, most if not all position changes happen in the offseason).

I would like an OOTP model of inexact ratings and a scouting system that goes further then just the draft creating an importance on stats for evaluation purposes and creating a fog of war on how good a player is without having a predictable growth pattern IE Madden 12. Do I want them to rush it out on one dev cycle? Heck no, it could be worse then anything we've had if they do so particularly with the plan in place to use XP.

I understand and share the frustration with the realism, I truly do. But I want a functioning game, and OOTP has convinced me that what I want is not possible on current consoles. (Although I believe if we had ps2 graphics we could do a ton more with the ps3..just sayin)

You are understanding perfectly and this would be the best way to do it, unfortunately M13 wasn't built to allow for position editing. This logic will have to be added into future Madden's.

# 758 Cutler2Marshall2012 @ 10/12/12 04:13 PM

FIX THE BEARS AWAY UNIFORMS!!! Seriously, I could always change it but it is so annoying.

To me, EA/Tiburon causes all these problems and complaints themselves by not staying with the basics and keeping the stuff that they know everyone wants in the game to begin with. I would love to know if Tiburon/EA could have just left franchise mode, etc. in the game while still allowing the Infinity Engine for gameplay because if so, thats what they should have done. And please tell Tiburon/EA to bring back Mini-Camp. That was so much fun to play and accomplishes the same thing as what the XP system is supposed to be. Only difference is that I'll actually play Mini-Camp where as those practice scenarios dont even get looked at by me.

Time. They introduced a whole new mode to Madden. Since Madden is a yearly title, they at the time likely realized that the pros of developing a brand new mode with new features outweighed the ability to edit players. I'm also guessing they would have LOVED to implement player editing with the new CCM and XP features, but simply did not have time to properly tune the logic to do so. It will probably be in 14.

Love it or hate it, Madden being a yearly title makes it difficult to innovate without sacrificing old features. ESPECIALLY since Playstation/Xbox have limited resources to work with. Making cutting even more necessary. I would guess that if Madden was PC-only, they would be able to do much more.

They work within the limitations of an extreme time-frame (yearly) with the additional limitations of having to cater to the limitations of console resources.

I wish Madden would just come out every two years, with a 10 dollar paid roster update for the between years or something. That way they could have the time to develop an innovative title with fewer "cons".

But that's just me.

Can't wait for this patch to drop.
