Until the new consoles come out and they have to start from scratch again.

You don't know that for sure. Game developers are really smart guys making video games.

Are you aware of how long people have been saying, "next year the game will be perfect"...it never is, and it never will be.

Of course it won't be "perfect" but it will be amazing. If you choose not to believe that then that's on you. I myself have great expectations for Madden 15. Oh and 14 will be pretty darn good too. Back on topic, everyone expected too much out of this patch, there's alot more people including myself that are playing this game and loving it than there are people that regret their purchase. So a patch would just be gravy, but for the others. I feels sorry for you. That must REALLY suck.

I see when they mean the "pile up animations got cleaned up", it really means they put in more scripted tackles.

The Physics do no look as good now to me as they were before.

There are two different rosters. One for Play Now/Online, one for Connected Careers. The only thing they've said is that they are looking into adding "Roster Edits" to Connected Career Mode.

Too bad you couldn't have played it in May at the CE. It is night and day from then to now, based on GC and QA feedback.

Meaning that it was worst then(In May) then it is now?...Sorry if I'm not understanding.

Thanks!!

Does anyone know if it is even possible for Madden/EA to patch in coach mode and broadcast cam into CCM? Please let me know as that is the main reason I wanted this game. It's fun playing but really grew to like coach mode in NCAA 12 but needed an NFL fix this year..

Had it happen to me in an online game. I did not touch the R Analog until my defender engaged the OT. As soon as I engaged and hit R Analog Down I saw both safeties drop out of deep 1/2 responsibility and all three of my CBS (nickel) abandoned coverage. Easy TD.

I feel like the "arcade" players and casual gamers will buy Madden no matter what. I mean put up a good commercial and state its the best madden yet and they are sold. The only people that are not going to buy it are us "sim" gamers. We are the ones who care about the content of the game and realism. Cater to us in terms of gameplay and cater to the casual gamers in terms of marketing and you got us both.

The truth of the matter is that the "sim" player, as you personify, is not only fickle, his demands can never be met; nothing that gets done, or added, will ever be good enough. Sure, you might satisfy some, but the more you add and tweak and bother, the more you risk irking the multitude of people that have no problems. You fix one thing for one group and another gets pissed. EA cannot win. They make the game to the best of their abilities, which tends to be slightly above "capable" but well below "fantastic". Every. time. EA games, across the board, are competent, but none of them "wow". This is true, and has been true, and will be true, until the day they go bankrupt.

You know what bothers me? The fact it takes so damn long to just play a game. Loading. Loading. Update? EA screen. Other screen. Menu screen. Press start. Loading. Checking. Loading. Menu screen. It drives me mad. Such is the world we live. We move on.

I know they are looking into the Broadcast/Zoom camera for CCM, but there will be no coach mode for Madden 13 within CCM.

The more I play the more I'm unsure if the R-analog helps or if it's just in my mind. But here's something more concrete:

It's happening ALOT in CPU vs. CPU games, and that has nothing to do with laying off the right stick since I'm not playing the game. The bug is therefore "coded" into the gameplay. This leads me to beleive that not pressing a button (right stick) has nothing to do with whether or not we see the bug.

CPU vs. CPU will ALWAYS "tell" on a game's AI.

Why is it that I haven't noticed you or Dewiel reply to any of the many quality discussions that go on in this forum? I am not attacking you or him, I am just trying to understand why you guys interact the way you do. I see many football fundamental discussions spontaneously spark on this board, where really solid questions and suggestions are raised concerning Madden but haven't noticed you guys chime in. I remember when ChaseB started a thread to ask people about commentary, checked in to reply to posts and I even saw some things discussed, in M13. I am not saying we necessarily caused those hings because they likely were already slated but it was nice to be acknowledged.

You guys are on these boards, yet don't really seem like a part of the OS discussions, which I think is unfortunate. I think just getting involved more in these discussions and getting a true understanding of where people are coming from with wanting NFL passion to be in Madden, would go a long way. I keep reading where the devs say they read these boards and think that nice to know. Reading is one thing but truly grasping where we are coming from is another thing entirely and that's what seems to be missing. There seems to be some disconnect or something lost in translation with what we describe on these boards, that devs say the read, with what ends up in the game.

I do a lot of reading past threads and I am encouraged by the level of interaction Ian had back then. However, I also noticed what seemed to be that same disconnect because, imo, the interaction I have read was more him getting feedback on what he wanted to do versus a true back and forth. I would like to see you guys get down in the muck with us because I don't think anybody at Tiburon can "get it" without fully mixing it up. Being an observer from a far is better than nothing but truly being apart of the living dialog that takes place on here makes for better understanding. Some threads start out slow but like some great movies, get really deep as they progress and it would be nice to see you guys being a part of those.

This is I believe why it would be nice if OS had a sub forum where the mods hand picked some members to interact with the devs for each title...

That way, the conversation could be guaranteed to be relatively civil and intelligent...

Nice post, tho...
