Double agree. And after readig this board, all I came out with it was coach mode and similar stats? That was the big hoopla about Madden 13? Wow.

Thought by now someone would talk about the presentation difference. Like the new intelligent commentary.

Aka this: Commentary:Added over a dozen logic fixes to make our commentary more intelligent.

Really rspencer?

How do you change a players position in CCM?????

# 346 Lil Worm @ 10/15/12 07:28 PM

Ok I decided to just run with my old ccm and not worry about the scheme changes. I'm just to deep into it to turn back now lmao. As far as I can tell right now the game seems to play better even though I was enjoying it before. I can say and it may be just a fluke but just had my first DEF. PI called.

Thank you for making that clear!

You can't for the most part. It's extremely limited.

You can change a LOLB to a ROLB and stuff like that, you cant change QBs, RBs, WRs, TEs etc...

# 349 pimpinpidgeon8 @ 10/15/12 07:34 PM

Yeah I'm having issues with online servers now too. It's not picking up on my online pass. Anyone else with this issue? I deleted everything about this game and re downloaded everything and still the same issue.

# 350 garbear95 @ 10/15/12 07:35 PM

Psn down for maintenance

# 351 Titus001 @ 10/15/12 07:37 PM

Are created coaches still bugged out? It still lists my defense as spread. This will make it difficult to sigh players in free agent sighing period. Nobody will play for a spread D unless you throw alot of cash. It should say I'm running attacking 4-3.

You forgot to answer the question...

to change positions (when available) you go to the Roster screen, select your player and then select the edit player option.

If you are allowed to change the position, then left/right arrows will be there.

# 353 Coltsnpacers @ 10/15/12 07:42 PM

It's impossible to run the ball on all-pro. Keep losing 3-4 yards every play.

Apparently it only works if you start a new coach, though I'm not sure if you can change that coachs scheme later down the line...

# 355 Reed1417 @ 10/15/12 07:43 PM

With created coaches in an Online CCM is anyone else not seeing the option to change your scheme from West Coast to whatever? I am not seeing it in the scheme's option.

# 356 ethanknoch @ 10/15/12 07:46 PM

There still isn't an option to change offensive and defensive schemes

That comes on the 19th.

# 358 BlastX21 @ 10/15/12 07:50 PM

My first CCM game post-patch was not a pleasant one...I ran 20 times for 50 yards with the Saints against the Raiders, had 5 dropped passes, Carson Palmer completed 85% of his throws and both teams combined for 5 fumbles, all recovered by the offense. Hopefully this is just an aberration.

# 359 Flightwhite24 @ 10/15/12 07:51 PM

Haven't seen this asked after all the fuss but has the issue with controlling a D-lineman and pressing down causing the D to run commit been fixed?????

# 360 photogenic_arrogance @ 10/15/12 07:53 PM

I don't mean to derail any consistent topic conversations, but does anyone know if offline co-op connected careers is actually in the patch?

I know in the details it says multiple users will be able to join a CCM game, but can multiple users control multiple teams or is it only in individual games?
