Correct me if I'm wrong, but beginning the first week of the preseason, didn't you used to be able to see draft prospects under the TEAM NEEDS screen?

I'm asking because I'm wondering if the way they fixedbeing able to see a draftee's ratings before the draft was just to take them out of Team Needs period.

sux if thatz the case :\ again, cheaters gotta ruin it for everyone else <\3

They still list draft players under the team needs section (at least in my offline CCM), but as far as I can tell, you can no longer see their OVR.

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure your draft class isnt available until after you start the regular season.

I totally missed that part of his post. The draft prospects are indeed NOT available t osee in team needs until you have the option to scout them.

THIS IS WHY IT WASN'T IN THE GAME FROM THE START.
With all due respect, how much of what was decided to be in the game from the start functions/functioned properly?

As far as editing is concerned.......not much apparently. I am pumped to have editing back in, and I honestly expected adding it in via a patch to break other things or come with glitches (like the depth charts not staying week to week, linemen looking like CB's if edited, all rookies having white sleeves if edited etc.), but a small part of me hoped that EA could add back in this feature that has been in the game since the start of the franchise basically and pull it off without a bunch of collateral damage. No dice.

Gameplans still suck, Patriots passing 4 times and running 11 times so far...

I am grasping at straws here.......but any chance its a game by game type thing, where they are running more against teams with a highly rated pass D (or similarly bad run D)? I know I know.......that would make too much sense for EA to implement on PURPOSE, but ya never know I guess!

that is what it is. teams switch up based on the defensive schemes you throw at them. based on your teams tendencies, etc...
Ive had games where the cpu controlled team would switch its game plan after the half.

Im not defending Madden, but what else do folks want. the game play has changed to feel more like quick games post patch.
Ive seen a variety of team play differently, based on what I throw at them both defensively and offensively.
Im not complaining. Madden this year is holding my interest.
Madden13 is a good game, it does what I'm looking for. It lets me play a few seasons in a franchise mode.

does pre existing injuries actually work now? Like will Jason Peters be out for the season when i start my offline CCM?
 
# 572 pistolpete @ 10/16/12 10:41 PM
Well, my receivers drop passes all the time. 1 on 1 situations always favor the DBs.

I'm done.

It "worked" before as Parrys Harylson was injured for 27 weeks.
However now some of the people that are supposed to be injured are no longer injured. The aforementioned Harylson is no longer injured.

I believe that is like a ratings update thing though and doesn't have anything to do with the patch.

If you paid any attention to what they said before they released Madden, they said they removed these features because they would not work properly. People bitched and complained, so they put it out and oh, what is this? It doesn't work properly?

We knew about it months before hand that it wasn't going to be in the game for that exact reason.

It's not my fault you didn't pay attention to news about the game before it was released.

Lol havnt seen any problems with my game ediit roster works fine....hell im just happy i can change numbers no duplicates(which i could have lived with) i love the gameplan the falcons just ran the ball 29 times vs me punding mike turner. No game is perfect you can find fault in every game.....im loving madden and cant wait to see some new sliders! Sorry for those who feel this game is giving them anything less.
 
# 578 buckey00 @ 10/17/12 01:01 AM
I'm not sure if anyone one else has experienced this, but since the patch it seems like the cpu's players are much faster than mine. I'm playing on All-Madden, custom sliders, and 0 threshold. Percy Harvin feels like I'm using someone who is not even close to a 96 speed and yes, I do have auto-sprint turned off.
 
# 579 Gooze @ 10/17/12 01:27 AM
still too easy i still got guys in my league that put up insane scores and shut down every RB

So the game tracks your team's tendencies and personnel and adapts accordingly?

Is this around a base tendency (the 49ers aren't likely to have Alex Smith throw 50 times just because they face a bad pass defense, for example)? Is this based on my team's performance (if I shut down the run for a few weeks, teams will start trying to air it out, even if their own scheme is a run scheme and it's the strength of their own team?)
