Thanks. DirtyJerz32_OS just beat me to it, lol.

I'll check it out here in a short bit and then edit this post

*Edit for Coach Mode*

Unless I'm completely missing it I don't see the option for coach mode in either online or offline CCM.
However using coach mode in play now it still is just the qb auto throw so I'm thinking for some reason it's not working properly at the moment.

Tried a game on default on madden offline ccm and the cpu run game is much better and overall more difficult.

# 23 Virix @ 10/15/12 11:06 AM

Has anyone figured out where to change the scheme for your team in CC? Its not in the personnel/schemes menu like i expected.

It is in offline CCM's when I looked earlier it wasn't for online CCM's though

# 25 feeq14 @ 10/15/12 11:17 AM

Is the amount of XP in offline mode comparable to online mode now? I noticed that in offline mode there were a whole lot less points to be made in practice and game modes Vs online mode. I havent tried it since the first patch

# 26 Glenn33 @ 10/15/12 11:19 AM

I'm getting excited. Been waiting for this patch to restart my franchise ... Keep the impressions coming!

# 27 WaddupCouzin @ 10/15/12 11:22 AM

Have they patched the camera glitch, you couldn't change views in CCM. You could only play out of the standard view.

Yea, I use wide view in play now. I've noticed it's using wide view in my CCM now as well.

Dirty telll me where to look for option to change to coach mode and I will check. I'm in connected coach mode and I can't find option to turn on coach mode any where.

Tril- u can change camera angles. Have mine on broadcast

# 30 niftyjets @ 10/15/12 11:27 AM

So for anyone who has downloaded the patch and is not restarting their online ccm your supposed to still be able to edit players equipment etc. without restarting is that true?

Also what can u edit all the same things that you normally except for raitings obviously in a current online ccm?

Dirty and Big;

Not sure how it is in NCAA, but I went into play now and put it on coach mode.

If you want to control the QB, you can after the snap of the ball. If you don't, it will auto throw.

I made two throws in the game with Rodgers at QB.

In Play Now, I was able to throw with Rodgers on two passes in coach mode. In the description, it does say, if you don't control your QB, the QB will auto throw.

# 33 Drudown54 @ 10/15/12 11:33 AM

so i thought you were posed to be able to play with multiple teams on connected careers?? I tried to start a new on using a coach and there is no where that i can select multiple users, and i also dont see the coach mode or change schemes. any one help please

# 34 Sturzinator @ 10/15/12 11:34 AM

Anyone start pre-season and notice if the CPU depth charts were fixed (no K as P, etc) ?

1st, it was not confirmed by EA you could use multiple teams.

Coach mode is in play now and changing schemes I think is under the More category in online and offline CCM.

IIRC they just added the ability in Offline CCM's for users to have multiple controllers plugged in to play 'coaches only'.

# 37 ProbieByKO @ 10/15/12 11:38 AM

Left work early (cough, cough, sneeze) It's good to be the boss, lol.

-and loving the patch so far. I think the physics may have been tuned, as the play seems smoother, and the offline ccm ai runs the ball on default all-pro.

Custom rosters in ccm!!!

Awesome!!!

I really want confirmation on this because a true coach mode is the only way I am getting this game back. Has anyone actually tried playing it, at least in a Play Now game to see if it's has changed to true coach mode or just looked at the setting? In Play Now it should be in the game play settings with accelerated clock, etc.

Please refer to my post at the top of the page. lol

To be honest, threshold was already working.
