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

sure they left some features out but in no way is this a half a attempt my man no way at all. they put a lot of work into this years game and look what they have to show for it. a RTP engine, CCM and the whole new commentary team and all that stuff. doesnt sound like a half a attempt to me. if you feel that way then hey more power to ya.

Reed.. You've played it? Or watched vids on-line? My "man". I'm talking about what I know is left out, your talking about hype. Or have you played the game in depth? Bc if so, I gotta bunch of questions...

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

First, Because "we didnt have enough time" does not cut it in real business.

It really doesn't. If this were really true on the main mode on the game which is in many way the heart of EA people would have been fired, paticularly if there is any truth to the 2 year theory.

please explain how isolating a large part of your target fan base makes sense? There will be a decline in overall sales, again, for madden. why stand up for them? This Is their attempt to use a big franchise and make it more profitable, by making more online friendly, , instead of making the game more enjoyable.

It doesn't make any sence, I think it's is suicide, these thread are noting come August this board will be flooded with angry users many of whom will not take lightly this 65 dollar building block for the Glorious future until they can actually complete it in M14.

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

i've just watched the videos online my man. but no i have not played it. i realize your talking about what's left out believe me i'm just as upset as you and i would love to have that stuff back in this year but in my mind i dont think this year has been a lackluster development year.

[peylog27]

Reed. Thanks for the response, I agree that they have made strides on trying to improve, but.. The online vids are meant to get you hyped bro, that's marketing. Ideas do not translate to functionality in a one year time span, I hope you enjoy it, and do not want to keep you from that experience, in my opinion though, (played/bought since sg 93... Im old...they are not really ready for the release this year, does not mean they are not trying. But they should be more forthcomeing in what it takes to make cc
not make lame excuses for what isn't In it.

I don't know how large of their fan base they are really isolating though. If I were taking a guess, I would say it's not that big a number.

This issue will slowly die down at some point between now and the release of Madden before it's brought back to life right around the release of Madden. It will be pretty much the same people, having the same discussion all over again. Someone will mention how one player they saw drafted looked funny and people will swarm on it like bees.

if we are still going to get the "funny-looking" jacked up drafted players with this mode then it was not ready for this installment of madden...and they should have left franchise IN for m13...simple as that ..who wants to spend time to scout and draft a QB only to find out he is #48 wearing an offensive linemans facemask , elbow pads, and kicker cleats..and there is nothing you can do to change it... that kind of kills the realism ya know

That's exactly what I'm talking about. They take out editing and all of a sudden all hell has broken loose within the game? QB's will look like centers, centers will look like punters, punters will look like Gilbert Brown. It never happened before but now that editing is gone it gets exploded into an absolutely gamebreaking issue that never existed (and almost certainly doesn't exist) when you did have the ability to edit players.

Exagerating someones point ad absurdium in no way negates it, odd equipment on rookies does happen and whilst unobservent types like me may not be overly bothered others are entitled to their opinions

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

I just want to reconfirm something, as I think it's lost in translation lately:

A lot of people unconcerned with roster editing allowed to us during CCM seem to be on the side of thinking that you will be able to use Donny's updated rosters as you go on, still in the middle of your CCM. You won't. If you want to use the new breakout player(s) of the year, then you'll have to do either of two things: You can wait for Donny to update the roster, and then you have to restart your CCM from the very beginning...or....you can try your best to build up that player with XP (but that means you must control him somehow, first, so good luck having the fun of switching around - back and forth - etc).

What you can't do, however - you can't edit the roster from the beginning as you want it and then use it in anyway during a season/franchise/CCM. You only now have the previously explained two options.

I believe last years oening week rosters had many (upwards of 30) playres missing completely not to mention the hundreds of players removed from the game because of the 280 something limit on the FA pool as compared to the training camp update many of whom later were signed as injuries struck.
My point is not to attack donny moore but that when starting a franchise no EA roster update reflects the entire season in the same way a customised one with added CAPs can even if they were 100% reflective of the week they are issued(they aren but 99% is pretty good... If the rest of the game was that accurate to sundays we'd all be happy)

But a different group of people doing the rosters isn't going to change that. There are limits on how many players they are allowed to have on the game due to memory issues. They have to out the players on the team that are going to have an impact in one way or another first.

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

It sucks to see offline dynasty slowly being phased out.

I like to play my franchise modes a certain way. I like to edit my entire league rosters to my liking, start a franchise mode, and play games from all around the league.

In a given week I might wanna play Vikings vs Packers and then Saints vs Falcons and the next week Cowboys vs Giants. And if something seems off, I will go edit players during the franchise.

And I always edit rookies to create my own storylines.

Seems all of that is being taken away from me. I can't use my own edits and I can't play other games around the league. That's pretty much 75% of the enjoyment that I get from franchise/association/dynasty modes.

I honestly don't even know if I want to play their version of franchise mode now. They pretty much just told me I can't play the game the way I have for the last 10 years.

Guess this is their idea of taking the game to the next level.

Having all 53 on every team would be a start but no your right in that you would have to be physic to get everybody on the real rosters in january in the game from week one or a huge database THAT is why editing is so useful

I don't know about other Madden players, but one of the first things I do is go through and make the rosters accurate. I might initially play a play now game to see gameplay improvements, but my first thought is the accuracy of the rosters. My team first, then my alternate, from there I start go in alphabetical order. I create missing players, and when that wasn't possible I renamed current inactive players that were in the free agent pool or still on rosters. I would take out players that were on injured reserve by removing them to FA. Disappointing that it's gone.
