Madden NFL 13 Roster Editing Issue Rears Its Ugly Head

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

I can't speak for all leagues but every successful one I have been in or seen has a forum set up either on a public site or a private one. OS supports leagues, DLG supports leagues, TSO supports leagues. i would say stick with one of those where the support is good. OS has an Online Franchise forum in this Madden section. Say we play week one and it is Monday, the league may advance on say Thursday. You and I have until then to get a time where we can both be available to play. Usually those leagues have a forum on the site for scheduling games. So i would post something like this:

"Browns here, when can you get this in? I'm available from 8pm est til midnight everyday. text, email, or private message me and lets do this."

Off topic I know, sorry.

Thanks...gotcha.

Carry on, good people.

I saw this as well. But there was no time table for its return. We don't know for sure it will be in before Madden 14.

Or if it will be fully Back....Like maybe they let you edit some equipment next but we don't get complete ratings customization and Positions changes back for 2-4 years

True.

I'm not as concerned with player editing as I am roster editing.

I wasn't going to buy Madden 12, but when Feb rolled around, I broke down and bought it. Looks like I didn't completely waste my money as I will be playing for the next year.

I can't wait to see what else has been removed as we get closer to August.

I'm guessing you can't challenge calls on the field anymore because of RTP. I would also not be surprised to see play captains removed.

You are just assuming. Or let me guess... you are much better at making games then they are right?!?

I'm making assumptions from 30+ years of actual software design and implementation, including some very complex simulations. The practices I talk about are actual practices that have been used for those 30+ years.

Are you the same guy that last year tried to tell me I don't know anything about compilers and linkers and portable code?

That's nice, but makes no difference outside the context of the effort it took to go from 12 to 13. Obviously there's more to it than your expertise would lead you to believe or it would have made it in.

Not necessarily in M12 they finally added full editing and we were told the process took 10 minutes, but they still waited all those years to put it in

It didn't make it in because it's terrible design decisions plain and simple. If editing creates bugs you already shot yourself in the foot for designing something that creates bugs that you've stated was important and will be back in at some point. Editing was important to people and it was in the game last year and if it creats bugs in this build or they just decided they didn't want to allow it then the design or the decision are both terrible IMO.

You really don't need 30 years of design experience to figure out that if you want to build a car with a smooth ride you just cant allow square wheels to be brought into the design you know.

This is mostly an issue because they are so awful at rating players. I really don't understand the movement to take so much control from the gamer.

Doesn't change that if editing rosters breaks the storyline, then it wasn't designed correctly.

dnmhii with all your game programming and design wisdom you should start a football game company. games are always buggy there are too many moving parts to design one without them. all the best designing in the world wouldn't prevent things from just not working together correctly.

How? Only EA can make a NFL or NCAA game...

If MLB The Show or NBA 2k can give so much control, there´s no excuse for EA. At least in my mind as a non fanboy or anti-EA consumer.

My best guess is that it (the removed features) would have been fine offline, but they couldn't get it to function properly online and since they want all modes to be synonymous, they decided to ditch it altogether.

The scope of the problem is more along the lines of a different size tire. The ride will be plenty smooth for the vast majority of drivers.
