At the very least nothing appears worse after the patch. Baby steps

# 22 ripp1p @ 09/11/12 07:39 AM

Can you now change playbook if ur coach in offline ccm after you started. Also can you use create playbook in offline in ccm.

# 23 ripp1p @ 09/11/12 07:39 AM

Do you have to restart offline ccm to have changes to apply?

# 24 Phobia @ 09/11/12 07:43 AM

I still don't understand wasting a patch on things such as this. We all know that patches are limited and you need to fix the most possible with each patch so WHY only fix these minor things. I understand the stability fix, but CCM Quick start??? or Gameface improvement.....really??? This is hardly what most people would deem, priority over other areas of the game that need patching.

Oh well, I feel like I am just typing for no reason because it will never change. The weird decisions will continue and we will always be left scratching our head.

It will be interesting to see what these "stability fixes" are. It SOUNDS like (just a guess here) something to do with online...at least that's the first thing I think of when the term "stability" is being used.

It doesn't make a lot of sense to release a patch fixing issues and then not even disclose what was and wasn't fixed.

Were the assisted tackles offline CCM?

# 27 sactown_13 @ 09/11/12 08:06 AM

not sure for offline, but online u still cant change ur playbook

# 28 atvmx21 @ 09/11/12 08:13 AM

So basically this update is almost pointless? 95% of the things we wanted weren't fixed. (yet)

I mean, they couldn't even fix the scheme/game flow options problem?

# 29 prey2god @ 09/11/12 08:26 AM

It just befuddles me how you can customize the roster to "Play Now" but you can't for ccm. Absolutely ridiculous.

I've been saying all along, based on past history, major fixes after game ships aren't fixed till October/November.

I didn't think anything would be different with a patch 2 weeks after launch.

Not saying it's right at all, just that history is a good predictor.

# 31 prey2god @ 09/11/12 08:31 AM

And history says they don't give a crap about the consumer. They basically said "HA HA...we got your money and there's nothing you can do about that!"

# 32 Christian Antonio @ 09/11/12 08:38 AM

It costs a lot more to put out multiple patches than it does to pay a developer to write those patches. The whole multiple patches to save money is a purely consumer reaction.

It would be fiscally idiotic to release multiple do-nothing patches. It'd be in their best interest to release a single patch fixing everything. Because of demand, they release many, meaning not every big fix can get in before it needs to hit cert in order to go live.

I totally understand the consumer side, but it's only because you don't understand the process, honestly.

So while it may seem like greedy EA is just fooling you into staying fans of the series, it's pretty backwards that EA would waste money on something that really doesn't influence purchase decisions the following year as long as the game wasn't broken after the last patch this year.

# 33 roadman @ 09/11/12 08:40 AM

And if you knew the history, no one's expectations would be high with a patch 2 weeks after launch.

Prey, you know I've been trying to warn folks not to get their hopes up, and yet, after 2 weeks after launch, people feel that all noted bugs should be fixed.

Those two weeks = MS/Sony certification.

Save the semantics. It's not important. Bottom line is they don't care about the consumer. There's no conspiracy behind this theory. This patch was a poor attempt at damage control.

It can be damage control all it wants to be, but the last thing a "greedy" EA wants to do is throw money at something that doesn't help them in the long run.

Can u now edit rosters in offline ccm?

Maybe part of the stability issues?

I go into a Play Now and see if I notice anything.

# 38 ripp1p @ 09/11/12 08:58 AM

It just confirms to me that next year when they put all back the things in that they took out this year will the big items added!!!!!!

I'm at work and wasting time on OS

So can't check at the moment...

What exactly do you think you are seeing? Is it more loose, tighter, better, worse...?

# 40 kiddlex @ 09/11/12 08:58 AM

I started a new Online CCm and TO is still on the Seahawks.

Are the CCM rosters still not out?
