I'm playing on the ps3 but i'm not playing "play now" i'm in CCM which shouldn't do it every game

I didn't know because I was never down against the CPU in CCM before the patch..

agreed, and I'm on week 2 in my offline ccm and there is no pink... I quit playing in September so I never saw the Pink bug which went off the system clock instead of season time, but it's not there now, so they must have fixed this in the patch today. wish i would have played in october so i could have seen it

just had to make sure, since you never know with some of the posts on here

Finally got to download and start it with a new online ccm.

First game it was all Pink. That was weird to see. I quit the game and restarted and it was fine again.

Will play some more but like the other guy posted, does this patch affect only ONLINE CCM or also OFFLINE CCM? I tried offline and I like you can now change the cpu's uniform only if you have a second controller doing it. Online CCM you still cannot.

Also the team specific sounds/fight songs are still not working

Cornerbacks on the left side of the screen dont press when in man coverage

I almost never post here but quick question. I'm trying to turn the jets into a 4-3 defense. So I wanna move Wilkerson to DT. It is not letting me.

Also, is there supposed to be an easy way to change scheme now or no?

Thanks!

# 409 raysanti @ 10/15/12 11:18 PM

In ccm I'm noticing random players have flak jackets that have never had them before.

Morris Claiborne, JPP, Hakeem Nicks, to name a few

I thought this was a impressions thread.

Pretty sure this doesn't have much to do with the latest patch, but I have seen 2 defensive PI calls in my last 2 games. Can't believe my eyes!

# 413 SloeyEZ @ 10/15/12 11:47 PM

I'm not trying to call you out in a mean way or anything Emm, but where are you? Seems like today would be a day for high visibility from the real EA folks that could give us some real answers instead of all of us confusing each other, or are you waiting for all the cannon fire to subside first so you can answer everything...once? Hope you're not sick

# 414 Sturzinator @ 10/16/12 12:02 AM

If they aren't going to fix the damn depth chart in pre-season (rendering pre-season virtually useless) at least they should allow us to switch the controller to the other (CPU) team and let us fix it ourselves!

I am tired of P playing as K and playing my 2nd and 3rd stringers against CPU starters.

You could make these depth chart fixes for the CPU in Madden 12, but now...pffft.

That's weird because I was down plenty of times in Play now and never saw. The situation might of been different I guess but it was cool to see anyway..

Preexisting injuries are wiped when using a custom roster.

Can't switch a DE to DT. You can switch a right DE to the left side but that is it.

The guys who make and patch this game are GAME DEVELOPERS. They are not NFL Head Coaches, Draft Experts, Stat Experts, and they are most likely not big enough fans to know the ins and outs of how playcalling and AI logic should go. So if you are ever expecting play calling to resemble what you see on Sunday to the T, then you might be waiting a while.

Yeah we understand that but they have the gameplans in the game for us to fix it but wont allow us to adjust them for CCM.

They are not NFL Head Coaches, Draft Experts, Stat Experts, but they ARE big fans of football. Just listen to any of their videos dating back to the Head Coach days and it is obviously they love football. I know at least one of them was a coach, even if it was pop warner level, it shows that they are fans and love football just like us.

I know everyone has the right to express their opinoin, but it doesn't mean their opinion is right. Sorry and not really a comment that adds to this thread in any constructive way.

sorry if i'm being harsh :\
