Madden NFL 13 Roster Editing Issue Rears Its Ugly Head
 

While most of the Madden NFL 13 news out of E3 seems to be positive, we now have something that could turn into a very big issue. Especially if you enjoy roster editing or use edited rosters created by others.

There seemed to be some confusion about edited rosters. More specifically, if edited rosters could be used in Connected Careers Mode.

I sent a few messages to Justin Dewiel, Community Manager at EA Sports earlier this afternoon and received the following responses.


Basically, we have to rely on Donny Moore's roster updates, throughout the season, instead of grabbing updated rosters from the many talented roster editors out there, or simply editing on our own.

Jean Adams, Art Director for Madden NFL 13, mentioned the following, in his presentation blog, which was posted in late April.


Hmmm. I somehow doubt many gamers will be playing around much in edit player, if we can't use the edits in anything other than a Play Now session.

Josh Looman, Madden NFL 13 Senior Designer mentioned on Twitter the following glimmer of hope.


Does he mean Madden NFL 14 or could the Madden NFL 13 team add the editing ability in a Title Update or fix the issue before its August 28th release date? I think I speak for everyone, when I say the sooner, the better.

Still a total failure. I don't play ANY single play now games. Only franchise or "Connected Career" games because I want them to mean something.

facepalm

Also, thanks EA for getting rid of offline franchise and making CC the ONLY career mode in the game and making it handicapped.

Just to be clear....

We can edit the same stuff as last year???Both Equipment and Ratings??

With the Non-CC file

Re: Madden NFL 13 Roster Editing Clarification
 

Yes, you can.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Roster Editing Clarification
 

So to get this straight, can we bring the roster we edited in to CCM after one of Donny Moore's releases?

Or after his releases we can now start a CCM with his roster?

Re: Madden NFL 13 Roster Editing Clarification
 

So Frustrating. Donny had better do a MUCH better job. He doesn't have us to bail him out anymore. If a guy is on a roster, I wanna see it. If he is on the IR, I wanna see it. If he's on the practice squad, he'd at least better be in the FA pool.

Step up!

Re: Madden NFL 13 Roster Editing Clarification
 

After Donny releases a new roster update, we can use THAT roster, when starting a new CC.

Still blows..........considering I don't like the way EA rates rosters and I have no choice but to use their roster in Connected Careers.
