Injuries get wiped as before. Injuries only work with preexisting.

Was looking forward to coach mode, but it sucks. I cant find an option in ccm. And you still have the ability to take control of every player. I dont want to have a choice to run the ball. I just want to call the play and go. You have to do the kicking. Lame

Only prior to the start of a CCM.

Anyone check the arm/build editing on RBs to make sure it doesn't have the same glitch as NCAA? The glitch in NCAA causes a player (usually only RBs) to get really skinny in-game no matter how big you made his arms/chest.

Default All-Madden in CCM has user WR Catching and Broken Tackles at 50, everything else 25.

I'm able to use broadcast view in CCM but can not for the life of me find "Coach Mode"

Feeling really stupid right about now

I can confirm that you CAN play coach mode. I traded my pre-order copy in for NHL when I found out that coach mode wasn't originally in the game. I play in coach-only leagues for NCAA, and we were looking forward to doing the same for Madden.

When you go to My Madden, go to settings and turn "coach mode" on. This will allow you to call offensive and defensive plays and just watch the CPU run them. The QB will be controlled by the CPU as well, and will throw the ball instead of sitting in the pocket waiting for you to take control of him.

I set up a test online league to check this out, so it should work for all modes I believe.

Thank GOD they patched this in!!!!!

Online or offline? I tried online CCM and broadcast wasn't there. Let me try offline.

Auto-Subs are still glitches in Offline CCM.
 
# 92 fripperiffic @ 10/15/12 12:23 PM
just started an offline ccm after the patch. Went to play the first pre-season game and was adjusting the camera when the system froze.......BS!!! I was also disconnected from EA and PSN on PURPOSE!!
 
# 93 DJ @ 10/15/12 12:25 PM
On a positive note, play calling no longer defaults to Gameflow in CCM; it follows what you have it set to in the Main Menu.

I just tried offline CCM as well, not seeing broadcast cam. Are you sure you are in CCM? PS3 or 360? I'm on 360, I don't see broadcast cam, unless I go to Play Now.

Just seen the CPU call a timeout in the 2nd quarter at 1:01. Was a bit confused as to why it happened.

I don't know if it's me, or if it's just the patch, but the CPU blocks seem to be holding up more as well. In both of my CCM games with the Raiders (Chargers and Dolphins) so far, both teams have been able to run consistently well against me.

Ok, very happy to get the patch a day early, but is there a way to lessin the download time on PS3? 400 minutes for a download? Will it really take that long?

Hmm ... I still see that 51-49 combo when I try and change the settings. They work fine in Play Now, but can't change them in CCM.
 
# 98 pyr0sphere @ 10/15/12 12:31 PM
Were there any changes to gameplay in Play Now? I know about the big changes to CCM but I'm not hoping the gameplay universally has improved

To get this to work I changed the settings to broadcast before starting my CCM
