Sweet so I can finally edit Miles Austin's chicken legs that EA refuses to fix!

# 324 bcruise @ 10/15/12 06:43 PM

Servers are fine for me on PS3, FWIW. Getting ready to play my OS Vets game for this week, in fact.

# 325 EMbow513 @ 10/15/12 06:48 PM

Damn man everything was going perfect, i edited a reciever to make him skinnier and i edited a lineman,and dlineman and guess what, my lineman are skinny like recievers and my reciever has huge *** arms... wow im stunned

# 326 TheCapstone32 @ 10/15/12 06:50 PM

So far so good on the run/pass ratio for me. Simming stats look good through 3 games as well. No 70-63 games with 200 plays each. Although Brees did throw 7 TDs one game.

Vick has 971 passing yards 12 TD 2 INT with 94 attempts through 3 games. And the leading rusher is Ryan Mathews with 355 yards on 59 carries through 3 games. Both seem reasonable. 12 TDs is a bunch. Brees is averaging 43 attempts per game. My biggest complaint would be low completion %. Brady 58% (66% IRL), Ponder 47% (69% IRL) , but Big Ben is at 70%, RG3 at 66% and Manning at 63%. It looks a lot better through 3 games than other CCM's I have done pre-patch.

As far as Ponder goes, I don't know if they have him elevated enough, ratings wise, from last season.

Just a thought.

On ps3 sign out of psn then shut down or exit the game to avoid double beep

# 330 EMbow513 @ 10/15/12 07:10 PM

We wouldnt have these topics and issues if EA didnt touch franchise in the first effing place, all they had to do was add twitter and storylines... we wouldnt have these damn if issues if didnt try to get all fancy

# 331 knick9mm @ 10/15/12 07:10 PM

Can you add just one sleeve to someone? I want to edit Nate Washington. I know RGIII has one sleeve in the game

# 332 BonesKnows85 @ 10/15/12 07:11 PM

This patch is a good one no doubt. But simulated stats still aren't really good. I find it real hard to believe that they haven't fixed assisted tackles for USER teams yet. Still no assisted tackles registering in USER games. It hurts to people who play CCM as linebackers who have tackle goals that are hard to reach because assisted tackles don't count.

Also, still:
-Too many plays ran per game. Too many rushing attempts. Teams are running over 100 plays in a lot of games. You will have to starting and backup running back breaking the 20 carry mark. It's unreal.

-At the end of the season, this leads to too many running backs over 1,000 yards rushing.

So the stats still aren't fixed, but the game is heading in the right direction if they would patch what I just mentioned.

Lol I wouldn't even mess with appearance other than height and weight.

Quick question since this thread became massive since I've returned from work.

How exactly do you save a custom roster and load it properly for offline CCM?

I've tried it a few times and it keeps loading a roster that doesn't have my created player(s) on it.

I disagree. The stats look really good so far in mine.

Can assisted tackle stat be fixed or are we SOL?

I just bought the game a week ago but I need to ask.

This seems to be an important change to this update.
"Coach Mode in Connected Careers: Added the ability to use coach mode in Connected Careers."

Can someone fill me in why this was a problem before? If there was no coach mode in connected careers what the heck have I been playing for the last week? I chose Coach and I chose Jim H. Played my season. Is that not the coach mode?

I don't understand what was missing here.

Some things though. The Commentary is a lot better from what I heard. Plays are much more logical and I'm still playing around but looks great.

you have to load your custom roster first than open up ccm and click import

Coach mode referred to two things, 1) an actual game mode such as the one in NCAA13 and 2) not having to control any players on the field.

What the patch did was allow the QB to throw the ball automatically in CCM where that only happened in Play Now mode before the patch.

Do whatever changes to your roster you want.

Save the roster file. (I made it a separate roster file than the roster-custom that is automatically downloaded.)

Start an offline ccm, choose import my madden roster.

Now the only thing is, when using your own roster, there's a bug where the depth charts aren't accurate to real life. (Wilson, Kolb etc... not starting). So just be aware of that.
