# 62 Armor and Sword @ 10/15/12 12:19 PM

User sliders are set at 25.

NCAA coach mode: Play calling, flip plays, hot route, audibles and snapping the ball.
Madden coach mode: Everything NCAA can do.

In NCAA you have no controller of your players. That's biggest difference, everything is done by the cpu AI, that includes kicking in NCAA.

So only restarted my offline ccm with a coach and i created a rb...yes! I played about a quarter and a half before realizing i was 2 hrs late for work haha. But i played on all pro didnt mess with the sliders but ill say this the bears cpu play calling was better. And not to mention the a.i. was driving the ball on me before i cut it off! Like legitamite two first downs in a row. They couldnt do that before unless i made a bone head play or cranked the sliders all the way up for the cpu and down for me. So my inital feel is good and the game does seem to play a bit smoother i agree with above. Also as far as fatigue goes....mcgahee broke a 40 yd run on the first play of the game and on the next play was tired! Another positive.

I didn't move my player around because I used to play coach mode way back when and didn't move it around at that time.

# 67 schnaidt1 @ 10/15/12 12:40 PM

i have a ps3 so i cant get the patch yet. but can anyone verify whether or not the patch now allows us to use our custom playbooks in ccm when we are the coach? never could before and this is a huge deal to me

thank you.

# 68 tdogg097 @ 10/15/12 12:43 PM

I know this is a really stupid question but I'm not a tech guy. Since the PS3 network is down for mx, can you not download this patch via USB? I know you can do this for system updates.

# 69 Marcus @ 10/15/12 12:44 PM

Do assisted tackles work now?

# 70 Sturzinator @ 10/15/12 12:45 PM

Are assisted tackles and half sacks being recorded?

Anyone played with the penalty sliders to see if their impact has been cranked up, specifically OPI/DPI?

# 71 butcherblack @ 10/15/12 12:47 PM

I don't see where you can change the offensive and defensive schemes at for the Coach. Anyone see where you can do it or am I just overlooking it?

If your in an offline ccm its under schemes if your in an online ccm it wasn't showing up earlier

# 73 Steve_OS @ 10/15/12 12:55 PM

Bummer. Can't use broadcast view in CCM. Only available options are Zoomed, Standard and Wide.

I'm downloading it! Version 1.03 correct?

I see that on the first post in this thread it says the patch on the 360 is 19 MB.. It was a 52 MB download on my ps3, any idea why?

# 75 Anners @ 10/15/12 12:59 PM

Anyone else seeing a massive improvement in the CPU run game? Seem to be breaking more tackles and having bigger gains.

# 76 Evlmnky33 @ 10/15/12 12:59 PM

Had the CPU down 11 with 30 seconds left and after they scored they did a normal kickoff giving me the win. Should've been an onside kick to try and recover and score again. Don't know if this was a issue before?

That is a bit of a letdown.
