Not sure if this is because of the recent update but I seem to be getting an abnormal amount of freezing in CC whether it be offline or online.

I've never had so much freezing in previous Madden games. Kinda ruining it for me. I'm sure people are experiencing this also.

# 842 GNS1310 @ 11/05/12 06:18 PM

I can't practice with the playbook I want.

Playbooks don't stick. Gotta change before every game. (legend coach PB not avail. in settings)

Preseason depth a joke. You can't fix the kicker punting? Sick of the 5 yard punts.

End of preseason game, Vikes up by 1. All they have to do is run then punt. They decide to pass, its incomplete, leaves me with 1 min+ mid-field, when I should have <30 seconds with 80+ yards to go.

Changing schemes kills player OVRs. Not a huge deal but it was a bigger drop than expected.

Starting Oline vs backups...Oline gets killed (49ers vs Vikes)

Super LBs still getting those INTs.

Tackling seems to be tough...can't seem to bring some guys down when I get a helluva hit on them. Kinda bounce off them.

yeah ive noticed the its very hard to tackle hbs. adrian peterson ran for 300 yards on me. he was impossible to tackle. he literally broke over 20 tackles. id say i give up about 150 rushing yards per game.

I hear that, the #1 problem I had with All-Pro on M12 was the CPU QB idiocy.

# 845 R8ders24 @ 11/06/12 05:21 PM

Is there anyway to fix the fact that all my rookies automatically where long arm sleeves? Even though when you go in to the edit screen they don't have any on? Is it backwards, so if I put sleeves on them, they won't have sleeves? Nothing like playing 8 games in Cali and damn near everyone has sleeves on....

While the play calling was better, the execution was horrid. I won 31-10. Bush scored on an 80-yard to open the game, which i thought was encouraging. After that, he gained a total of 8 yards the rest of the game. I could've scored more points had my receivers not dropped 8 passes. I don't know what else to do at this point. It is zero fun to play against the CPU in CCM. They rarely put together a sustained drive. I'm 2 games in and already bored. I'd like to at least be challenged by the CPU. I've tried all kinds of slider sets and they make minimal difference in CCM.

In CCM, I set it to All-Madden and then upped my sliders to 50 (same as the CPU) and still had the AM kick meter. I haven't tested enough to see how it plays, but I'm hoping that might be a solution for those of us in between AP and AM.

I did play a Play Now game last night on default AM and though I got crushed (I was the Bengals playing the Pats) it felt reasonably fair, other than RBs broke a few too many tackles.

I was just coming in here to say that I'm loving default All-Madeen. Lost 44-23 to the Broncos using the Jaguars. Game went just as you'd expect it to. Peyton completed 70% of his attempts and threw 5 TD's. McGahee also ran for over 130 yards.

Blaine Gabbert was awful; 3 picks and barely over 100 yards. The rushing attack did gain close to 150 yards.

Jacksonville looks like my new team for CCM.

# 849 biggio7 @ 11/10/12 05:47 PM

Question, sorry if this has been answered numerous times but

In offline CCM, why can't I use custom rosters?

I go to my Madden, manage files, then I load the custom film.

Then I go to play career, start my career, play offline.

Message pops up: Which CC roster do you wish to use?
- Use default CC roster
- Import My Madden roster

I select my Madden roster.

Then it goes into a loading data thing but not the actually loading screen.

Then I go into selecting coach, active coach. I pick my team. I don't touch any of the settings. Then I start my career.

Then I start my league.

Issues:
I go over to look at my roster and the overalls of players are changed.
I look at FA's. There are so many players that shouldn't even be there.

What is going on? Any help? Please and thank you.

# 850 Smokeyvol5 @ 11/11/12 12:06 AM

Question? As this may have already been answered so my apologies.
Wanted to know why Head to head players in CCM coach mode lge can't get auto pass to work. Both players have coach mode turned on but when playing H 2 H QB' s don't auto pass. Seems to me would be rather silly to have auto pass work in online CCM vs CPU but not H 2 H. Is this really the case or am I missing something? Thanks fellas

# 851 PSUFreak083 @ 11/11/12 03:52 PM

Has anyone had any freezing problems lately? I don't know if its my game or the custom roster that I use. I am in an offline career mode, and every time I try to play a game it just freezes right before the coin toss. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

# 852 vstro @ 11/12/12 09:39 AM

I've been having the problem of every time I import a custom roster into offline ccm it changes all of the qb's from the flack to the back plate, and the other way around with the receivers. Am I the only one having this problem? Just tried it with the newest roster, didn't edit a single player, just went straight to import it. I'm on ps3 by the way.

Haven't bought Madden in 2 years and this is STILL the case? Wow.

It's not a new issue. It means that the problem was never addressed since the first complaints were raised about this (mostly after Vick's comeback to PHI and him being a stand-still pocket passer in Madden).

I just keep thinking to myself (and out loud on here) that M13 seems to be a rough draft experience. It honestly feels like it was a test, beta version, if you will of where the game is headed. However, you are all much more experienced at this than I am (last 3 football games purchased are M13, HC09 an HC06) so am I just deluding myself the way regular Madden customers have for the last 7 (from the tone of most threads) years?

...a true noob...

It is not just that your QB can't scramble or make moves to evade blitzes. Another really big issue is how your(user) elite QBs are depicted with regard for finding primary/open receivers and passing in general. If Rodgers passed like that in real football, the coach would use him as a water boy.

# 856 SloeyEZ @ 11/15/12 03:30 AM

So confirmed tonight that Auto -QB does NOT WORK in a hum-hum league game. it only works in hum-cpu league games. WTF????? I am so frustrated, disappointed and just down right SAD

Madden is worthless to me now...back to Head Coach. God I feel violated <\3

# 857 Sturzinator @ 11/15/12 11:43 AM

The play clock still does not stop after an injury time out, often forcing you into a lightning fast play call or burning a time out to prevent the delay flag.

I also noticed that the GAME clock did not stop after a booth review in my game last night.

Annoying.

# 858 KCEmployment2004 @ 11/16/12 11:40 AM

This may have been answered already, but is there any way to get the Title Updates without having an Xbox Live account?

# 859 skwhatwhat @ 11/16/12 08:56 PM

title updates available at http://www.xbuc.net/

you can then load onto a usb stick using Horizon software

# 860 kingdevin @ 11/18/12 09:43 PM

Im seeing conflicting answers here. Can someone answer this Q who knows the answer first hand:

Can I play coach mode on offline ccm w/broadcast view?
Can I play CPU v CPU offline w/CCM?

If answer yes to any one of the Q's, which system are u using?

Thanks for your time in advance.
