They did, though, something like CCM similar play calling to CCM

I also said before it was a small sample size, but a slider creater, SEC is backing me too.

OK, so CCM "Player" doesn't have broadcast mode
CCM "Coach" does.

FYI, for those having issues.

I'd like broadcast in "Player" mode, because it's fun to be the MLB. Oh well. Game seems to actually play much better, haven't seen a lot of the crazy IE animation issues. While there are some, it seems to be toned down.

# 123 tdogg097 @ 10/15/12 02:14 PM

Not trying to jump to conclusions but Offline CCM is not playing the same as Play Now. On default all-madden settings in play now I was giving up 450ypg and having a hell of time stopping anyone.

In the first half of Raiders CCM, I'm up 27-3 (two defensive td's) and I'm stopping the CPU with ease. Rivers has been sacked 4 times (3 with base schemes).

*No assisted tackle stats.
*And the uniforms have the pink accents in the first game of season.
*No penalty changes.

I'll post stats once game is finished.

Can anyone tell me if they fixed the issue with the man press on the PS3. You can't press the WRs on the left side of the field. This issue was only on PS3.

Offline CCM, all-pro, no slider adjustments.

# 126 Hova57 @ 10/15/12 02:23 PM

in regard to xp is this patched in just for player ccm's or coach and player ccm

# 127 mavfan21 @ 10/15/12 02:28 PM

Anyone notice the improved play-calling in an EXISTING CCM?

I have read through and it looks like many started new CCMs to test patch.

I thought all the fixes worked in current CCMs?

# 128 Steve_OS @ 10/15/12 02:31 PM

Anyone having any luck changing coaching schemes? Am I blind? LOL

This was my understanding as well.

I think some people wanted to restart because they were several seasons into their CCM and wanted to start fresh with - hopefully - better simmed stats and so forth.

No ability to do anything with scheme in a 32 man online CCM in Week 7.

Also, CPU INTs are still completely ridiculous. Any deep route is undercut and ball trajectory still makes it impossible to throw over a CB or even LB.

Ran through over 20 practices. The CPU INTs were consistent across the board. Single coverage, wide open with safety racing 3/4 across the field, didn't matter. Picks were guaranteed for CPU.

Same.

I think it only works for Offline or creating a new CCM..

Yes it happens at the end of each half.

# 133 jack58 @ 10/15/12 02:35 PM

Sorry if a dumb question, but can this patch be downloaded without a GOLD LIVE account? I no longer have LIVE ... and not willing to spend the $60 on LIVE just to get game fixes that should be included with the game when purchased new!

# 134 Cory Levy @ 10/15/12 02:36 PM

I started a new CCM post-patch, simmed through the first season and went through the Off-Season. I was really excited to have a new O-Line with two good drafted guards all set to go when I go into my first game and find out both Guards are stuck having skinny arms, thin bodies and stick legs.

I tried to see if it was just for that drive but it wasn't. Tried to see if it was just that game but it wasn't. They looked the same in practice as well. Edited both guys to have as large a body as possible in the edit menu but nothing changed. They look normal in the edit menu but they're stick figures in the game.

I then traded one of the guards for another decent rookie guard and the same thing happened to him.

Anyone have any insights on this? Has it been happening before patch? Do you think it's just my CCM itself being glitched up? I'm playing off-line on the 360 for the matter.

It's frustrating when I've been looking forward to this CCM since the patch was announced and now it's being ruined by one minor appearance glitch. Gah.

# 135 KR817 @ 10/15/12 02:37 PM

Is anyone else having this issue? No matter what roster I pick offline or online every single offensive lineman has 0 arms. I mean tiny arms. Am I going to have to fix them all?

# 136 niles08 @ 10/15/12 02:38 PM

What about assisted tackles? Do these register now?

# 137 schubert @ 10/15/12 02:39 PM

I just downloaded the patch on 360. I am in the off-season after three seasons into my CC, and when I go to edit my players, it still does not allow me the option to change their position (e.g. move one of my corners to FS, tackle to guard, etc.). I thought this was part of the patch. Any info would be appreciated.

Not surprising.

I was waiting (while Sony undergoes maintenance....) to see what would be messed up with the new "fixes".

Someone posted earlier about this type of edit problem in NCAA where RBs would have skinny stick arms. Sounds like it has replicated itself here in Madden.

You can only change position if it's swappable (.e.g LE to RE, LG to RG).

No TE to WR or FB to HB or CB to FS

That's a good question. When I set my "test league" up, I put myself as the only member. I know in NCAA, the commisioner set the league rules and settings, and it automatically set them for all the coaches who joined the league. I'm going to assume that the same is true for Madden, since the league is essentially being created by the commisioner, and therefore, the rules and settings he/she creates should stand for everyone else too, since they are joining the commisioner's league.
