Madden NFL 13 Roster Editing Issue Rears Its Ugly Head

Re: Madden NFL 13 Roster Editing Issue Rears Its Ugly Head

I think our only hope at regaining any customization is if some of the gods at football freaks can crack the file format like they have in the past and create an editor. Is this type of thing even possible on a game console? Can we browse a website, download, install and run a program written by some third party person? Any compilers/linkers available out there for the PS3 and XBOX?

Re: Madden NFL 13 Roster Editing Issue Rears Its Ugly Head

now realize one CCM is the best thing for everybody going forward

Only time will tell if this is true or not. I can easily see it not ending up a true statement. Depends on the direction EA/Tib take Madden.

Fair enough...you have been a staunch defender of his...which is fine

I believe you may have personal insight into his character...I do not...I am just responding according to how I was treated.

No worries man, dude is getting 50/50 love/hate right now. Shouldn't really be either until people get hands on. Even the yearly Madden eHater Pastapadre is all about ccm right now without the customization options.

I'm more of a staunch defender of "act right" than I am of anything else.

I know, its a character flaw I have.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Roster Editing Issue Rears Its Ugly Head

LOL - Pac, you're killing me bro! lol. Let me take a step back and say that I am in no way trying to pick a fight here. Just having a discussion. I understand how you might feel that way, but truth be told, the fact that franchise mode is different is not solely because of "online".

That being said, I think we can definitely agree on the fact that the taking away of things we used to have is really getting old, and we are ALL tired of it.

Never said solely because of online. That is not my problem man, my problem, like I said, was Big's stance. I quoted one of his post, #567, but also #503. That is where it became "Offline vs.Online"...
My overall point was missed along the way, but yes, we can agree on that much.

I feel like the majority of the posters on this forum are respectful even when angry. If he is getting some really nasty hate I would bet it comes from the lurkers with twitter accounts. I personally am not angry, I just want some insight or any kind of real response from him really. Other than that little things comment of course. (If he gets any nasty messages, I would bet it is from that comment more than the features being cast out)

Re: Madden NFL 13 Roster Editing Issue Rears Its Ugly Head

We get it man....its just that for some reason EA decided the best way to do this would be to just about completely gut the offline experience completely and eliminate entire modes of playing the game. Could you imagine if EA just cut online completely and thats all you played because this is actually happening to some people with the changes that are being made.

LOL. I think me and you have already had this discussion in another thread but maybe it was another poster. Anyway, I DO NOT have to "imagine" it, I have experienced it for 5 going on 6 years. Madden 07 had a feature called Live Opponent that allowed me and my friends to run a complete Franchise mode, online. The removed that the next year and that ish didn't ever come back.

I don't wish that on anybody but forgive me if I don't share peoples outrage about this other stuff in the first year.

This is a big problem for me for several reasons:

1) Drafted players often have different skill sets than the position they're drafted at (eg. FS as SS).
2) I have to move players around to fill roster requirements (eg. HB to FB), this is particularly important in keeping players on the roster you'd have to cut otherwise (ie. I could sign a FA FB, but then I'd have to cut a talented rookie HB).
3) Donny Moore either sucks or has an impossible job - take your pick. I'm not quibbling over whether a player should be 71 or 73 OVR, but players that have blatantly incorrect ratings. One example is Jeremy Zuttah, center for TB, who is well known as a good technician but isn't strong enough/weak in run blocking. This is well known (at least for TB fans). In Madden, these ratings are reversed.

I could go on, but I'm very frustrated its not in.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Roster Editing Clarification

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.

There is no longer a offline franchise mode? Just that CCM?

Maybe you can point me to or quote where you feel my stance was endorsing, condoning or whatever, offline vs online.

No worries man. I'm sure you get it and my post was crystal clear so I can't see how anyone couldn't understand the outrage that some people have. I couldn't care less if you share the outrage or not, I'm just getting a little tired of people trying to justify the decisions and trying to convince people that they shouldn't be upset because something got removed that was important to them.

Seriously if people had a thread like this devoted to voicing frustration over losing a mode or a feature and I didn't share their view I wouldn't even bother trying to go in to tell them to get over it or its no big deal......blah....blah...blah. People are pissed and let them get it out you know.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Roster Editing Issue Rears Its Ugly Head

After some discussion, we agreed that Franchise mode is yours to control and that we needed to give you the ability to edit the ratings of any player in Franchise mode, whether they are veterans or the rookies you just imported from NCAA Football. ~ Josh Looman Madden 12.

I guess they "disagreed" this year........The most frustrating part of Madden over the years is the schizophrenic approach to building these games. You literally do not know what to expect year to year. Great feature in one year, out the next back three years from now etc....... and now the news that you cant play any other games in CC besides your team...... but they have generic twitter feeds...so we got that goin for us.....
