It's the 19th. Online players get patched yet (scheme saving)?

Breast Cancer Awareness is tied to the real calender of your console. Meaning if you play an entire Madden season this month every single game will have the pink stuff.

I thought this was true but I don't believe it is. Week 1 after I edited all my players we had on pink, so I figured it was screwed up. But I simulated to week 8 or so after that and played a game and our jersey/equipment was normal colors no issues at all so it doesn't do it all the time.

Also something to keep an eye out on, when I was editing my players, ALL my lineman had skinny receiver arms. It was awkward and I had to change them all back. There were weird things with other guys, like their legs were too big or too little, but mostly the lineman were all out of wack, I had to fix those but it's easy to mix.

I'm really happy EA has set this to where it goes through for existing cc's. I thought I was going to have to start a new one. I really, really hope they bring in changing positions for this year. Was the only small thing not included into this patch.

If players can change positions leading up to the draft as apart of their storyline, why can't we?

How do I import a roster? When it asked me before I started my ccm it didnt even let me pick a roster file. It just loaded up and it wasnt the right roster.

God I hate this game so far.

Somebody else posted that the pink only stays for the first game of your session. I hope I'm not spreading false information, but I haven't played 2 games in a row yet without turning off my PS3 so I can't verify this yet...

I play my first game and the pink is not there, then my next game it is. I simply save, back out and re enter and the problem is solved. Still, its another little thing that EA screwed up on.

# 686 Cutler2Marshall2012 @ 10/19/12 03:54 PM

I read a couple times that if you go into practice it screws up your depth chart? Can anyone confirm? I have simulated all the practices in fear of this, although I dont really mind since the practices are a little too time consuming, but I do like to do one at least 3 or 4 times a year. Also, I did see that cornerback Mike Jenkings was playing safety.

It's not happening to me, but I am not using a custom roster, have pre-existing injuries on, and injuries on...those seem to be the guilty culprits of a lot of bugs...where people who use custom rosters and/or have changed injury settings seem to catch more of the bugs...

As long as you save within the depth chart menu, you have nothing to worry about.

It is weird. I just played my third or fourth game post patch and this was week 13 of my season. It's probably the last week of November and I was wearing an all pink t-shirt as coach on the sidelines.

I just don't get how this feature along with late game cpu logic and team tendencies were correct in Madden 12 but got screwed up in Madden 13. If they just left that stuff alone it would be much better.

# 690 jgreengutta @ 10/19/12 07:02 PM

@rudyjuly2 change yur ps3/XBox date that will fix the pink...and the CPU has great logic for "Me" Eli and Cutler have all thrown 40 passes wen I played them

# 691 Instant C1a55ic @ 10/19/12 08:00 PM

So is it safe to say for those that have avoided Madden to go ahead and pick it up now, seeing most of the bugs have been sorted out?

I mean the only big thing i have read is the lineman/WR becoming really skinny if edited. Is there anything else i need to be worried about?

I'm enjoying it. Isn't a bad game.

# 693 A7Xraider @ 10/19/12 08:15 PM

the pink goes away if u change both uniforms for each team. that has been working for me. i plug in a second controller change the CPU uni then put the controller back off the team. when i started the super bowl in pink with the end zones being blank i was not happy. rather sad that something so simple is overlooked.

# 694 dunnhouse @ 10/19/12 08:24 PM

I noticed in CCM Online Franchise on XBOX 360 that every time I pull up the depth chart during a game it locks up. Anyone else having this problem?

I was looking at Andrew Lucks stats and it froze on the retrieving data screen. Just remember save often I lost a win because of that.

I started an offline one with an edited roster a few days after the patch dropped. I've looked at the depth chart during games and no freezes or anything odd. I look at the stats at halftime and after the game (still in the game) and no problems there either.

I'm on 360 if that makes a difference.

Did you use a custom roster? or getting the skinny arm glitch? trying to get reactions off the 360

# 698 uthmanb @ 10/19/12 10:58 PM

So I'm sure this may have been talked about but I didn't want to scroll through 80 pages to find answer.

Is anyone else having an issue with playing a multiple team offline ccm, because I thought that was one of the features added in the patch and is not working for me I'm on 360 by the way

I'm not hearing anything good about CPU AI logic in late-game situations.

I'm not talking about run-pass ratio.

So until I hear a concesus on CPU late game AI and the DB glitch, I'll wait...
