To see if this issue is fixed play the Packers, Saints or Patriots and see if they run the ball as much as they pass. There is no reason it should be 50-50 or above. I played the Pats as the Jets just fussing around and they ran the ball far too much post patch just as before the patch. I understand people wanting to be optimistic. I have a theory that the Run/Pass ratio is indentical for every team, and that the only thing that controls it is the CPU and USER current score of the game. If you are winning the CPU will throw more. If you are winning all four quarters then the CPU will probably have a much better looking run/pass ratio. However if you are tied or are losing to the CPU they do not throw the ball enough. That is my take on it I am hoping to see the Saints Packers and Pats be pass heavy but I am very cautious in my optimism. You really need to play vs one of those teams to test the logic. The best solution would be to have every team use a different run/pass ratio logic built in based on the 2012 real life run/pass ratio stats. If that isnt possible then the next best thing would be to raise the pass side and make it more 60-40 rather than the current 50-50 and below

Actually, the Packers passed 39 times last night and rushed 31 times. They are trying to be more balanced with the running game this year.

A few people asked me to do run/pass ratios, so, that's what I did. I played a game and gave them the outcome.

Also, people were complaining pre-patch that the cpu did run run pass. I didn't see that in the game I played.

I agree the play calling is tied into the score.

So it's not a draft issue or player issue, it's an edit issue. I would think it'd be best to put a warning out there to not attempt to edit any offensive linemen for fear of the glitch showing up. Once you enter the edit menu for offensive linemen, it somehow automatically resets their appearance traits to 0 and you can't change them back. It has happened to me in both online and offline CCMs. So beware, I suppose.

Equipment edit or ratings edit? Both?

Thats disappointing considering 2 reps said that it was just call the plays and watch. I should of known better than to get my hopes up.

# 224 Betterai @ 10/15/12 04:37 PM

Roadman, from what you've played so far post patch is the game more competitive in CCM? That was really my only issue with that mode, just too easy....if that's been rectified, I will be satisfied

It happened during the preseason and also the regular season. I practiced before the first game and it auto ordered my depth chart. After that I quit.

I also tried figuring out what triggered it... no luck.

Yes, I feel it is.

I played one game only, so, small sample size.

The Niners were losing by a few points and they started to pass more. In fact, once, I thought with double TE's they for sure would be running and they did a PA on me and the WR was open on the sideline.

They ended up kicking a FG and held onto the 1 pt lead with under 4 minutes left.

I just played a game in my online CCM in which all of the 49ers offense came through the running game. 450 rushing yards vs ZERO passing yards. Smith only threw the ball 8 times. Something is wrong here.

I mean the edit menu while within CCM. As far as I know you can edit Linemen before your CCM and it won't happen but I haven't really edited any Linemen prior to starting CCM.

It seems to be triggered as soon as you click on edit player.

Custom rosters not working for me in CCM mode, anyone else dealing with this/know how to fix it ?

# 230 1deadpanda @ 10/15/12 04:47 PM

PS3 press glitch is still present

If I could rack up 450 yards on the ground, I doubt I'd throw the ball much, either.

Not trying to be a smarty here, but if the CPU is racking that many yds rushing, why wouldn't they continue to run if they were being successful?

Typically, the Niners run more than they pass.

# 233 RoyalBoyle78 @ 10/15/12 04:48 PM

arm glitch doesn't not bother me, as I don't care to edit any players...Never really got indulged and crazy like others do with the edit player stuff.

yeah, and i think it was Big I had the debate with, but i never really interpreted his quotes as being a mode. Always figured it was just what was in play now. I mean, how could they have added a whole new mode, well, i guess if it wasn't done in time for release, maybe...so okay, i won't judge you guys too harshly

Guess i'm going back to HC now...just lost the SB with the Raidehs and have a busy offseason ahead

full of depth lol sorry

Does this mean we can finally play offline CO-OP franchise(ccm coach) again!?!

If that is the case then I can finally buy the game, was worried I'd have to wait for next year's game.

If anybody who has M13 test this and confirm/deny this I would greatly appreciate it!

# 236 tanner75 @ 10/15/12 04:52 PM

Does the game still go to a horrible looking standard definition before snapping the ball?

Then run the ball for about 3 yards and then a pass to about the 6 yard line...We're at about :33 seconds now....The Ravens are out of timeouts....the next plays from the 6 are - run - 2 yards, spike, pass - incomplete, FG....we have about :17 seconds left.....Right now as I watched this I am thinking too much running.... Now onside kick Packers recover :17 seconds in game....Ravens, have no timeouts....Packers should take a knee, but they run, and a fumble....Ravens have the ball now on their ~48 yard line....about 13 seconds to go....And the Ravens do 2 run plays and lose....13-6.....SMH

ROFL,, they really wanted to hit UNDER on this

I wouldn't throw the ball if my team put up 450 yards on the ground either.

Edit:Spencer beat me to it lol.

So is the skinny arms-editing glitch present for all positions and not just as noticeable for the other positions?
