Nope...online play will continue to be offensive shootouts. Zone is a ***.. and if you dont have elite corners....an elite madden player will torch you.

If you have a cannon-armed QB and you run a run-heavy, high-percentage passing offense, that cannon won't get to show off as much.

Likewise if I have a great corner "overall" but he's a bit lesser in zone coverage and I'm planning a Cover 2 system, his OVR should drop.

But, ultimately, it doesn't matter what the OVR is because it's the skills that will matter. If that CB has a 89 ZCV, he's still going to be solid, regardless of what his OVR shows as in the interface.
Reread what he said. He made a player 99 in every category.

Anyone find a fix to the skinny arms/body glitch yet?

I find it funny that all the people complaining about the editing players glitches.

THIS IS WHY IT WASN'T IN THE GAME FROM THE START.

It's not really a skinny arm glitch. More of a skinny body glitch. The skinny arms in the edit screen is just an indicator it is going to happen, (keep in mind that the skinny arms are sometimes size 10 arms) but to answer your question, no.

I have been working on it and there doesn't seem to be a work around, other than just don't edit Offensive and Defensive linemen.
Don't edit anything on them or their information and, just to be safe, don't even go into their edit screens, although that is just a precaution as numerous trials have shown that as long as you don't hit the "accept & continue" button, the glitch does not take effect.

All other positions are unaffected by the ON FIELD aspect of the glitch, BUT if you edit a QB the arm size will drop to 0 or jump to 10 upon entrance into the edit screen so if you do make changes, you need to readjust the arms to an appropriate size. It is not a permanent change like the O/D-lineman though, so you can go back in at anytime and change the size back.

Do you have proof to back that up or are you just basing it on your anecdotal evidence?

can we atleast just do depth chart on them? like put LE at RE postion vise versa?
 
# 547 havokeff @ 10/16/12 07:34 PM
You can do it in the depth chart itself, but if you edit the position of the player, the body glitch will take effect.

I can't speak on behalf of the poster you quoted, but when the features for franchise mode were announced they would not be in 13, Josh Looman stated they we not included because they didn't want to break down another part of the game. They wanted to make sure everything worked correctly.

Some of the gamechangers for EA also stated the reason before the game came out why they were left out is because they wanted to make sure when it was implemented, it was working right.

I was so excited that Fantasy Draft was brought back in and that I can now edit players. Finally back to the way it used to be.

Draft Stacy Andrews..OK..Now time to push him inside to guard and...only LT...

Gonna bring Bruce Irvin to ROLB and...only LE...

Of course....So when is the 4th patch coming out?
 
# 550 jgreengutta @ 10/16/12 07:56 PM

You can't do anything once you are in CCM, but Irvin, you can move before you start it in the regular edit screen.

I'm on a PS3 and it won't download either. It says its available then gives me an error regarding the download and won't let me in the game.
 
# 554 ckunda4 @ 10/16/12 08:05 PM
I can't even get anything coming up saying it's available. I know my XBox live account is working because I can play an online game but I would really like the get that patch to start playing CCM games
 
# 555 SloeyEZ @ 10/16/12 08:09 PM
hmm, pure speculation here, but with people reporting patch isn't available could it be possibly discontinued until they add some fixes? Is that within the realm of possibility? I'm not that familiar with patches....aww patches the dog
 
# 556 jgreengutta @ 10/16/12 08:26 PM
Tried making D Ware arms bigger...They don't save but in edit screen he is fine lol Also custom rosters will give guys random Flak Jackets and Back Plates smh
