Has anyone got the trade bug? Basically in offline CCM, after the 1st year you try to trade and you get a message saying ''your trade cannot be submitted at this time''

Any solutions?

STILL NO CAMERA VIEW FIXES!

I know there's probably a specific thread for this, but I really thought that both the Zoom View & Broadcast View cameras would be fixed in Offline CCM in the update. Now I understand that the update was developed before the rash of threads spewing venom on the tons of annoying glitches, however the fact that this wasn't discovered in the "proofing phase" is unacceptable.
Here's hoping the next update fixes these mistakes and also includes some form of editing function.
I can't explain the disappointment in this years edition. It's just awful.
Please, please, please hurry 2K sports. EA needs a competitor so bad.

My game froze 3 times already trying to start a game.

SMH and the ineptness of EA. Wow.

Just tried editing my depth chart. Can anyone guess what happened? Btw, this is post-update.

From EA Forums regarding specifics on patch-

All,

Here’s a breakdown of what was included in title update #2 that released today. As always, we’ll be watching the forums and looking for your feedback.

- Added an Instant Start option to Connected Careers as a player
- Numerous commentary improvements to address when lines trigger and what they say.
- Added a trade notification in CCM for the NFL Draft
- Fixed social media sharing post-game to address spacing issues
- Improved the GameFace feature
- Fixed Challenge Audio to make the appropriate call
- Improved Physics Get-up post play
- Adjusted created players in Connected Careers so that they always have high progression grades despite their backstory choices
- Fixed defensive assignment issues against the CPU AI when users were in Man Coverage
- Increased the chances to trade for a CPU team’s starter
- Adjusted the scouting development trait in CCM to display as (Slow, Medium, Fast, or Superstar) instead of 0-3.
- Added the ability to post results from H2H MUT games on Facebook/Twitter.
- Numerous stability issues around the game in general were also included in the update to improve the overall experience and Connected Careers specifically.
Thanks.

Is it that hard to say if anything specifically was done to Offline Connected Careers? If I'm reading between the lines here, it doesn't look like anything was addressed. "Stability issues" makes me think Online.

Guess if I want to give CCM a go, I'll have to do an Online one. EA can now add me to its percentage of connected gamers thanks to their inability to resolve issues for the offline gamer.

I've seen it done in real life many times, especially when that team is up and they dont have a good QB, they run instead of risking an interception.

You've seen an NFL team run the ball on 4th and 15 plenty of times.

Can you do an online CCM without XBL Gold? Just single player?

um, actually ya, it depends on score, point in the game it is and field position. I've also seen many 5 yard dump offs on 4th and 15. It's quite common that teams use the punt and hold them philosophy. Not really that funny at all. That being said, when trailing late in the game it doesn't happen.

Plenty of times, man? C'mon.

I'm willing to bet that even the Patriots, if they were multitudes of TDs ahead, would rarely run, if at all, on 4th and 15 no matter the field position. Ryan Leaf at QB, and they still wouldn't run.

Yeah, I'm sure it has happened, but let's not get ridiculous. If anything, teams will "pooch punt" or try for a field goal when deep into an opponent's territory, or if they are within their own territory, they punt, no matter the lead.

If you are talking high school football, that's a whole other story.

edit: Saw your edit. lol

I've been playing Madden for 15 years and I've never felt quite as ostracized as a player until this year's version. The designers clearly have purposely stripped down the game to make it more appealing to the online crowd that likes to go for it on 4th-and-20 in the first quarter, at the expense of people with actual football intelligence and desire to see it exist in the game.

CCM is a great idea on paper, but as most have observed, it's a complete failure this year. All its problems have already been spelled out by many others here so I won't bother, but long story short it's just NOT FUN.

The gameplay is fine, and the physics are definitely way improved, but aside from that the overall gameplay experience is the tiny tick better from the last incarnation that you experience with every new Madden when comparing it to its predecessor.

What slays me is that EA actually believe they can get away with polarizing such a large percentage of their fan base. You guys do realize I don't HAVE to give you $60 every year, right? Madden isn't some mandatory tax I have to pay. And if/when 2K gets the rights to make a game to compete with EA, Madden will become as much a relic as the NBA Live series.

I'm sorry I fell for it again. Roster Update 13 changed a lot, but none of those changes make me feel like Madden will be a worthwhile investment now or in the future.

EA, you've become far too comfortable and complacent. Right now you're the Roman Empire, and we all know what happened to them.
