I meant to add that I was hoping for actual tweaks to IE so the players utilize their arms more realistically instead of not at all, too many a time...

That's why I was happy to add him to our team. We're always listening to guys. Many of our Game Changers continued to bring up the feedback here and what they were seeing as well. Looking forward to getting this update out to everyone.

Nope. U can't access them at all from roster manager

Very good patch indeed EA, I can't wait until it drops! Can I get some clarification on a few things that seemed a bit vague?:

1) CPU Playcalling - Along with correcting sliders between play now and CCM does the CPU call a correct game based on their scheme? For example, the Saints will NOT run the ball 30 times in a game and pass 25? Instead, now will we see Brees throw 40-50 times a game? This has been a huge issue for fans of the game. There was never a problem with play now playcalling being different than CCM. It was just bad all around as all teams were run heavy.

2) Slider Settings - Again the notes mentioned fixing sliders between play now and CCM but does the patch actually fix the overall functionality? There's been some debate that the Pass Reaction sliders are reversed or ineffective. Have these issues been addressed?

Thanks again to emmdot for hanging around and finally having something to show for all our gripes!

# 105 KingV2k3 @ 10/03/12 07:05 PM

On behalf of my 2-7 Online Virtual (Created Coach) Cleveland Browns:

THANK YOU!

To clarify:

I won't have to restart, but the changes won't kick in until the patch in DL'ed on the 16th?

Will any of these changes take effect online sooner as a tuner?

Are the slider changes dramatic enough that they're going to require a tweak or a total overhaul?

Thanks again!

"Connected Careers Practice XP: Added the ability for user controlled players to earn extra XP in practice mode through the stats they accumulate."

Is this for Coach CCM or Player CCM or both?

And how does it work? Milestone goals such as "throw for 300 yards" or "rush for 200 yards" applying to practice or what?

This means you can play with a buddy on the same team in CCM (not against each other though, unfortunately).

Oh. That's a shame then, I agree.

# 108 mvb34 @ 10/03/12 07:09 PM

Is the fix in for when injuries gets reset in online CCM if the commish makes a change or somebody join or leave the league? Thanks

# 110 I_Tyler_Durden_I @ 10/03/12 07:13 PM

Nice list. Two things that I am missing are 1/2 sacks and assisted tackles. Too bad these didn't make it.

I think you'll be able to edit positions before u start a CCM. Once you start it that option will be gone.

this is what i would do with my packers & chargers chise

# 113 SteelerSpartan @ 10/03/12 07:16 PM

Well this at least has me intrigued again...Will be looking to see if this patch works as intended and doesn't cause anymore problems

Question

Are people still not able to select the CPU's Uniform in CC Mode????

# 114 WhiteMan22 @ 10/03/12 07:16 PM

With this much coming, I guaranteed a game breaking bug will come along with it.

# 115 ramspeedkill @ 10/03/12 07:18 PM

i wonder if they fixed CPU's ability to run better?

# 116 sooner1 @ 10/03/12 07:20 PM

Well, what about gameplay tuners? Will they help out the horrific defense in this game? Lol, I mean not one thing about tuning how bad the zones are in this patch? Is it Ea's goal to put out the most noob friendly football game ever? Does that help the sales numbers??

How can there be no fix for the quick pass vs damn near any D??? How can there be no fix for the lead pass against any zone on a deep streak? How can there be no adjustment to the defensive line getting pressure like they do in practice mode? How can Ea sleep at night when they make this awesome game but refuse to make the game sim like with regards to DEFENSE!!!

Im done if nothing is going to be tuned. Sad thing is I'm 11-0 online. Sooner545 look me up. But........ I'm bored to death of not having to think to score its really sad.

Let me be a gamechanger and I'll have the best player vs player Madden info you have ever had. I'm 37 lol been at this and passionate about this for way toooooo loonng. LOL

I'm not wanting to rip EA I just want realistic adjustments made to the game. I know where they need to be made and just dont understand why they arent. I'm sure this will fall on deaf ears but at least I got it out.

I believe this was tied into the game difficulty (pro, all-pro, all-madden, etc.). In CCM the difficulties weren't working so now playing on all-madden should be all-madden. Thus the CPU will run smarter.

# 118 gzenius @ 10/03/12 07:24 PM

wow are you serious.. they fixed pretty much everybodys #1 complaints with the game

# 119 don28 @ 10/03/12 07:27 PM

Are we going to have the ability to change the CPU team uniforms in online and offline CCM? I would like the ability to change some of my opponents into throwback and classic uniforms when I play against them. Plus, I would like to not see those orange pants for the Chicago Bears when I eventually play them.
