UPDATED: Madden NFL 13 Title Update Arrives in September, No Details Announced Yet

[TheBrooklynBaller]

Bugs and glitches are one thing. Many are hard to find. But, the AI needs an upgrade/overhaul quickly.

I don't know who tuned this game but, it's really bad in terms of playcalling, clock management, usage of stars, players playing to ratings, etc. All of the gameplans need to really be altered to reflect real life situational football. As is, hardly any team passes on 1st and 10. They rarely pass at all out of run formations and they run almost all of the time on 3rd and 4 or less. Heck, 3rd and 2 is a passing situation in today's NFL.

Maybe they assumed everyone will be in some league playing against other humans online and that cpu playcalling isn't an issue but, there's plenty of us old school offline Franchise guys that want to play against a decent cpu opponent.

Word. Took the words right out my mouth. This is why Madden is wearing thin on me. I agree 110% I'm a Offline player most of the time and these are things that drive me crazy ad make me just want to not play.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Title Update Arrives September 11th, No Details Have Been Announced

Great news! The Madden team should capitalise on the momentum they have created with what by all reports is a solid release for the franchise. With the added addition of EA Game Changers who remain the eyes and ears for EA SPORTS HQ, gamers should feel the love this season and for the foreseeable future.

Good joke.

I just want the bugs fixing. Im perfectly okay if they don't add any features, just fix the bugs

The ability to edit rosters OFFLINE MUST BE IMPLEMENTED. This is a must. I know there's a lot of online users, but there are a lot of offline users as well who don't even play online.

This is understandable to not have it online to prevent cheating, but this is an absolute must offline. I tweeted Josh Looman about this and I hope you guys do as well. Voice your opinions to him!!!

Josh blocked me in July for asking this question.

"will the CPU realistically handle their roster and depth chart?"

Blocked less than 20 mins later.

So I can't tweet him to ask.

Thats funny!! Its pointless to try and talk sense into some people? They dont want to hear people tell them they are wrong!! I think most of these guys are in it for the money and dont really care about sim football and that is a fact! The game that gets released every year is the proof!! They took a great game franchise and turned it into a sham and that is a fact!! Its like drinking water from a spring for years and then your only option is the toilet???

Josh Looman replied to a tweet within the last hour that asked if player editing will be patched in. Looman said,

"We haven't released any information about patches."

Doesn't even answer the question but at least he sorta acknowledged it. Still doesn't decrease the frustration though.

Does anyone know if and when they do release an update, will it apply to existing CC? Just trying to decide if I keep our league go-live of 9/7.

Thanks

I tweeted him twice already and still nothing. But what I do notice is that he's been answering his friends and co workers. They been tweeting each other on how cool the online is and how much time they spent on it. They were praising him for making Madden franchise the best ever created lol

I'm starting to think that Looman made the game he wanted to make, not what others wanted. It's really catered to the online audience and that's whats sad about this. I don't think they're going to put out the edit function for Madden 13. I could handle the assisted tackles being taken out, a few bugs and glitches there, but the missing edit function on a franchise that's been on there for years is what broke the straw on the camel's back.

^ This is good news... I guess.

There are so many issues with CCM that I don't think EA can realistically fix/patch everything. And even if they do I'm not expecting a close to full fix until the real NFL is already over.

I think the post launch update has more to do with the online tuner sets. I have a feeling IF they implement the old edit feature back in Madden, it will be like the broadcast cam, the assisted tackles being calculated correctly, and the ball spinning correctly in past versions, only to have it arrive late January, right when the season is about to end.

I honestly don't have any confidence editing of any kind will be in.

It's clear this game was meant 99% for online with everything else just There.

EA/looman just want madden 100% online and CC makes that pretty clear.

I'm sure that any patch is gonna address online issues first and foremost with everything kinda falling by the way side.

I'm disgusted with just about every aspect of CC and the poor execution of pretty much all of it.

Let me just stop now before I say things I really shouldn't.

But this is probably the sloppiest madden to date and we have had some really beauties prior. So that's saying something.

Why would "online" players want duplicate numbers, not to be able to start a CCM with ratings edits, not be able edit equipment or any host of things that are a result of the things that did not make it into CCm this year?

I understand being frustrated and/or disappointed about not having the same options that were available in offline franchise in M12 but it's nonsense to somehow correlate that to EA/Tiburon catering to "online" gamers. If that's true, then the last 3 years of almost completely ignoring online franchise, was clearly EA wanting to make Madden franchise 100% for offline gamers, which is equally ridiculous, imo. Other than multi-player capability, online and offline CCM have the same features and lack thereof.

Again - everybody BREATHE.

This game isn't yet officially released on the console for the majority yet some are carrying on like this problem has existed since John Madden was a boy. I have faith that this number issue and with it other concerns will be patched once all the feedback has been collated.

We've been told to have faith since the next gen. For some reason every year we've been let down and told that it would be addressed in next years version. I don't think anyone is panicking but trying to figure out if we should buy the game. Bottom line we all want to enjoy madden and want EA to deliver a complete game.

We've been hearing " have faith" and " we're listening" for 8 yrs now. When will the shoddy design and poor execution stop?

The potential is there, but sheesh, it's been there since next gen began in 05!

Bugs will always exist. But the constant lack of testing just leads to do many issues.

If in my job I would be so careless not only would I be sued, but I would be outright let go. But yet year after year..there is one thing that's we can always count on.... A madden game with issues that are discovered within in hours of playing but yet not corrected in development.
And I'm not talking just jersey numbers cuz I now know how to fix it. And just that process is a chore. You mean to tell me nobody noticed this sooner and said " hey, check this out!". ?

C'mon man....

Don't all anticipated releases come with a need to be patched routinely? Why do we continue to attack Madden when others get a pass?
