Madden NFL 13 Title Update #2 Arrives Tomorrow, Player Editing Still Being Explored

Re: Madden PATCH UPDATE #2 AVAILABLE TOMMOROW FOR XBOX AND PS3!!

You're also assuming a lot of these items weren't know about before launch. Call me cynical I find it hard to believe auto subs, accelerated clock, zoom camera etc weren't "caught" before release.

Soooo... you actually believe EA tests these games before release?

The real problem here is LACK of competition!! If there were other developers making NFL games, we wouldn't see this lazy and half-hazard approach to the game every year. Even after the first patch, many things remain fundamentally broken, and EA probably isn't that motivated to fix it, since sales are at a record high, and people seemingly are ok with subjecting themselves to year after year of shelling out $60 for a game that would be GREAT, if they just addressed some of the core issues! I don't think it is too much to ask that the current things in the game work properly. Asking for ADDITIONAL content, like fantasy draft etc. is definitely not realistic. However, just making sure that the things in the game work right, is important to people like me who work hard for their money! I guess we will have to wait and see in October where this game really stand. Right now, it is SO CLOSE to being amazing, but too many bugs ruin MOST of the features of the game.............

Guys,

Keep in mind that this update is coming two weeks after launch. We don't generally have second update this early and it's mainly for stability items and a few items that we wanted to get in right away. As we stated on Facebook, we're aware of the other issues out there and we're looking into them as well. It's just not part of this update. As always, thanks for the feedback.

I just really hope the sliders for CCM and the AIs playcalling/Logic are getting looked at thoroughly for the next patch.. I haven't struggled this bad with getting the CPU to be competitive in a long time and it's really wearing on me. I can't enjoy the game at all going up against a weak AI. The sliders work great in Play now..

They get shots at them because they come off as just being company yes men. I know you, and they, will continue to state that this isn't the case; but their actions on the forum here reek of insincerity, especially when they continually come to game's defense when it has such obvious and glaring issues.

I think their were a couple that ruined the reputation for the rest. I want to get to know the rest of the Game Changers before tossing the program aside. You may know these guys already. I don't. A couple of them sure gave the impression that they were just part of the Marketing Hype. I would like to get to know the rest of the Game Changers.

We did have a couple really bad ones, but then we also had the "rgiles" type guys as Game Changers.

We can agree to disagree. It's not worth your time or mine to argue this point. I sit in the room and hear the feedback. They're not yes men. These guys just provide the feedback in a constructive way. Any one who looks at Madden 12 compared to Madden 13 can see the improvements. Those guys have played a role in that. Sure, they were just as disappointed by some things not being in, but they also understand where we're going.

Why is it that this game is plagued with all sorts of bugs and glitches that honestly shouldn't have been in the game if you guys had people "testing" it.

In my opinion, those people who tested Madden need to be reprimanded or fired immediately. This not only hurt the reputation of EA, but it also hurts you and others as well.

You do understand that they actually took that stuff like draft and editing out, right?

I appreciate you posting here, but I think most people would agree that Madden 12's franchise was better. To this day, I don't understand why CCM was introduced into the game. Why limit our ability to do anything in CCM? Why are the difficulties (sliders) different in CCM versus play now? Yes, physics will add a tremendous amount of replay value to the game, once it has evolved and been implemented correctly. However, CCM was one of the game's most marketed features. It is buggy and does not work properly. How are we to believe that EA has this game headed in the right direction?

We are extremely motivated to address all uncovered issues. What bugs are bothering you the most?

Because Franchise mode is almost 10 years old. While franchise mode is good, the plan for Connected Careers is great. This is Connected Careers first year and we will continue to improve upon it year after year.

Hopefully EA will cut ties with fan sites alltogether and run with what they have here which is a great foundation. First time current gen ive really enjoyed the game, offline franchise. The vocal minority here doesnt need to influence them, just a bunch of crying and irrational behavior. Pretty much sums up any madden site that ever existed.

What do you think the prerequisite to be a Game Changer is?

The revisionist history around here that franchise mode in 12 (or 11, or 10) was this great mode is laughable. This series dreadfully needed to evolve and CCM is a steP in the right direction. It unquestionably needs work, but come on. Madden franchise has been bad on this gen console since inception.

I guess this depends on what you want in an NFL Licensed Video game. I'm not buying 13, and I'm keeping 12. I really liked the PC version of Head Coach, which would be the first year, the second it only came out on the consoles. And I like the idea of Head Coach like features moving to Madden. But their are definitely many things I don't like about 13.

If this CCM gets significant refinements and enhancements going into 14, even I can see 14 being much better than 12. If you care to take this to PM's, I can give you what I don't like about 13. I don't want to do it here cause tt really doesn't belong in this thread.
