Depends on what you expect from Coach Mode. In Madden 13 Coach Mode simply means that if you do not take control of your quarterback after hiking, then he will pass the ball automatically. A QB rushing only happens on called QB run plays.

Auto-QB mode works in offline CCM, and Online CCM when hum vs cpu but NOT hum vs hum. Broadcast view is available but not exclusive.

How can you play cpu vs cpu when that means no human, but if you mean can you watch the cpu play cpu, no, you can not.

I am using the PS3 but this information is the same on both systems.

You're welcome.

I'm posting this here instead of in the schemes thread, so I hope it has a better chance being expedited into a patch...

Essentially, the scheme fixes from October are useless. They work only insofar as the they affect the desire of players with matching schemes into signing with your team. However, the fact that changing defensive or offensive schemes doesn't adjust the position allocations (the 49ers will have 2 MLBs and 1 DT on defense no matter what) is a HUGE problem, IMO. I simulate a majority of the games in CCM, only playing 4 or 5 games a season. I tried changing from 3-4 to 4-3, and to no avail, since when simulate games the resulting statistics pretty much confirm that my team employs 2 MLBs and 1 DT.

I've reached 20 years in my CCM and I consider this a deal breaker in considering whether or not to continue playing. I REALLY want to keep playing but, after 20 years, I've blown up my defense in hopes of creating a true 4-3 defense.

The "scheme" is in essence determined by the playbook. Change to a 3-4 or 4-3 playbook and you will be running that D even when the "depth chart" appears schemed for the wrong D. Your 2nd MLB on the depth chart will be your LILB and your 2nd DT will be your R/LT respectively.

No, it won't look pretty, but your team will be the respective type D of the playbook.

# 864 rudyjuly2 @ 11/19/12 05:26 AM

At this point I can use work arounds and deal with most issues in Madden 13. The one thing I would really like fixed now is the pass reaction slider. It needs to actually work and affect coverage. The cpu passing game on All-Pro just isn't very good. I'd love to be able to loosen my coverage up to allow them to make more plays. It would be very easy to do that if we had a coverage slider that worked.

# 865 SickDL @ 11/19/12 12:00 PM

Is there any chance we get another patch around christmas maybe? Fixing some bugs and the pass reaction slider a said above?

I would like them to fix the deph chart tuat it always shows the same player ratings, now the deph charts rating in game are differend then in the personnel screen.

You also cant see the player goals for the rolb and lolb

And ofcourse fix the team playbooks change the all the start to 0 or 1 that would really improve the game.

Any chance a such a patch

# 866 Steelers87 @ 11/19/12 07:57 PM

How do I go about changing the playbook? I'm currently using Bill Walsh as a coach, so I assume he comes with default playbooks. However, every time I start a game, go to Advanced Settings, Edit Playbooks, my O playbook is "Bill Walsh" and my D playbook is 3-4. So, it feels like there's some influence on my settings (I doubt Bill Walsh is supposed to run a 3-4). I'd be interested to see how this would be remedied...

I'm not sure what you mean here, but that is how you change your playbook, just like you described, advanced settings, then just scroll through the different playbooks.

# 869 ravensfan84 @ 11/21/12 06:33 PM

So can I start a new CC as a CB then later move that same player to ss/fs and or chang your stats ? and can you change other players stats and move then around?
Allso do you get to be the KR/PR or make a Punter or Kicker in CC mode ?

Thinking about getting this game for 360 thanks.

# 870 ravensfan84 @ 11/21/12 08:36 PM

can your player get injured in cc mode and do you have the same camera or did the change it to the ncaa road to glory angle?

# 871 edaddy @ 11/23/12 01:45 AM

I might be late to the game regarding the patch but I would appreciate if someone could answer these questions

Has body editing now been taken out of offline roster editing I cant' seem to find it.?
also do you have to downloadlatest roster in order to enable player body editing. I know you can't edit online but I just got the game free and was told that you could edit offline. Appreciate any answers.

# 872 chicagocubsfan @ 11/23/12 12:30 PM

Can please someone tell me how to put coach mode on in Connected Career mode? I don't see an option to do it. I want to have auto pass on.

you have to turn it on under My Madden > Settings and it has to be on before you create a league (90% sure but i never have it off so...)

My Madden is the only place to turn it on/off and it does NOT work in online league hum/hum games

# 874 rudyjuly2 @ 11/25/12 08:40 AM

I really wish they would tune the LE/RE sack and pass rush issue. It just seems the LE is able to break free so much easier. Cam Wake is rated 10 points higher than my LE but he has 7 sacks in 15 games (not horrible but low) while my LE has 22 sacks! C'mon! Wake gets stalemated a lot by the LT which is fine but my LE just runs into the RT and breaks free a half second later. I don't even control my DL much - these sacks are almost entirely with the cpu playing as the DL.

I still wish the cpu would stack, shift, and/or slant a little more against strong side offensive formations. Just running the Power off tackle out of the I-formation can lead to a lot of longer runs with faster backs since the cpu almost always shows a balanced defensive look against an unbalanced formation. The line is more likely to shift to the weak side than the strong side. Why not move the LBs over a little? You don't have to sell out against the strong side but they certainly need to protect against it more than they do. I don't get it.

Just checked and looks like body editing is gone. No more skinny lineman hopefully.

Can you explain a little more when this is happening? Is this a new CCM or one you already had pre Title Update?

both, its only when i use the import custom roster option though. many players look normal when i view them from the manage roster menu, but when i start a CCM a lot of them have odd body builds mainly db's and WR's. before this update i could just go in and change it after i start a CCM, but now obviously i cant anymore.
