I would really appreciate it if someone could give quick answers to the two questions above, thanks!

# 42 shugknight @ 10/15/12 10:40 AM

WTF! 3 days ago my XBL expired.. so now I have to renew to get the patch?!

FML!

:P

But it's worth it if it's as good as you say it is!

Since when do you need "gold" to get the patch? I have silver and got it.

Meaning, does turning on coach mode in your main menu carry over when you start a new CCM?

Yes, I tried a series with it.

You can take control of your QB after the snap and throw it to any WR. If you don't take control, the QB will auto throw.

I'll have to check with your other question.

You still have to control the defense and kick though right? I had to

The game was already fun to be honest. All they added was editing.

What about the new intelligent commentary? All I'm reading is about editing and coach mode.

When was the last time you played it tho? Just don't want to see the newness blinding the true experience of this update. I will give it a week to see what others say as well as myself. I've been playing the game so I don't see how that some clthat haven't played in weeks says there is a difference outside of editing rosters.

Pretty sure we have. I know in previous years I always edited the size of Plaxico Burress, because he was one of the guys that always seemed way too big for me in-game.

Glad I didn't trade it in. thanx EA

Only played a quarter and a half of a test CCM preseason game before bouncing out to raise my difficulty. Dont know about the CPU team but I did notice my punter coming out for a field goal attempt. Going to make some slider adjustment and get back into a preseason game, will check if the CPU team does the same.

Played it daily up until about 4 days ago. Much more than editing was done, lol. I've gone through the thread and I'm not the only one who's noticed.

I've played 3 games in offline ccm and it plays like play now.

Again: Awesome!

That really stinks if it's not in. I guess I'll go back to NCAA and play coach mode.

Kick yes, defense, I didn't control a player, but I know you can.

To answer this question, you can go into My Madden, Change Setting, Gameplay Options, and then change it to Coach Mode.

So, what's the difference between NCAA Vs Madden Coach mode.

It's been this way w/Madden since I can remember.

Did you just not move your player or were you not given that option because I'm trying to help these guys out and tell them "True Coach" mode and they were saying not playing as a player just picking plays is what they want and that's not how I'm seeing it as of now, hopefully it is just not reading properly yet just waiting for server side updates or something

# 56 beetlebum71 @ 10/15/12 11:10 AM

I can't seem to get my custom roster to import. If I select "Import My Madden Roster," it just loads the default CC roster. Do I have to have my file named something special or something? Xbox360.

# 57 booker21 @ 10/15/12 11:11 AM

I know is early but anyone actually tried to play 2 users on the same team (coop) in CCM?

Also in CCM if you choose All madden, user sliders go to 25? or they are still at 100?

# 58 KR817 @ 10/15/12 11:12 AM

Man as a PS3 user, I'm jealous. I wish this was already out for me as well.

# 59 live to die54 @ 10/15/12 11:18 AM

kinda pissed that i cant move my de's to olb and vice versa. what is the point in switching sides when i can do that anyway on the depth chart. i got bruce irvin for the ravens and have been wanting to move his position to olb so that way i could cut a lower tier olb to sign a backup run stopping de to back up ngata

Biggest difference I know of roadman is in NCAA if you have a mobile QB in coach mode they will break the pocket and scramble if pressure comes and no one is open. In Madden the QB hardly ever scrambles on their own (in regards to user team-cpu qb scrambles though)
