Re: Madden NFL 13 Title Update #2 Available Now

I don't understand why EA has to explore the option if being able to allow the user to edit the roster or create a playbook/play? It baffles me bc if the user wants that, especially in an offline mode that doesn't effect anyone else playing, why can't it be allowed. If I or anyone else wants to use that in my offline ccm, I should be able to, I can understand if online isn't ollowed bc u r playing in a league with other users, but offline you should be able to do pretty much what ever you want!!!!

It means they are working on it.

So we're getting closer to an easier version of M12 with a semi-broken franchise mode

Guess I'll look elsewhere for my gaming fix until patch 1.03 drops... around christmas!

agreed...with fifa 13 and f1 2013 coming out the next two weeks I'll have more than enough to play.

Leaving this pile of garbage alone untill patch 3...only if patch 3 actually fix the major problems.

Here is an entertaining story for everyone:

Resumed my offline player CCM with a created player as a balanced HB. Finished preseason and then played my first game with the Ravens against the Bengals. Final score 56 - 44 to the Ravens in 11 minute quarters with 23 second accelerated clock.

The sim engine is screwed as the time that goes off for each play is not right. Andy Dalton had 76 passing attempts in the game. Ray Rice had 45 rushing attempts. 3 players had more than 200 yards receiving...unfortunately I didn't check the total amount of plays. But still, after seeing that, Madden came out of my ps3 and into my cupboard. Won't touch it before these issues are fixed.

Also, whenever I'm called into the game, we only call plays out of the shotgun formation...not a single one out of it. Happened in preseason as well.

Hmmm... So your marketing campaign is physics, you present a demo with physics, you realize physics may be a little hard to implement, so you remove them subtlety under the disguise of patches and tuners, after waiting long enough to generate revenue through the success of your marketing campaign. How do these guys sleep at night?

Are the physics really gone now? I'm at work

Re: Madden NFL 13 Title Update #2 Available Now

Has EA listed an actual log for what the patch does change? Not just the short blurb they had on facebook yesterday?

You liked players tripping over one another at the end of a pileup tackle and falling endlessly with limbs flying around?

I'm glad it's gone.

The first page in this thread directed up to that write-up, yesterday, that's all Steve had.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Title Update #2 Available Now

I've been saying all along, based on past history, major fixes after game ships aren't fixed till October/November.

I didn't think anything would be different with a patch 2 weeks after launch.

Not saying it's right at all, just that history is a good predictor.

This. Game released 8.21.2012. Patch released 9.11.2012. Thats 21 days with 14 of those going to Sony/MS approval. This patch was primarily built between the Gold ship date and game release just to fix/tweak minor issues.

Major patch normally comes later after the game has been out 30-60 days then their done until M14.

I thought at launch, they said that this patch would fix star WR dropping so many passes. Didn't they say that? I swear I remember something like that.

If they are in, they are very subtle. As roadman said, you don't see them as much after the play as you used to. There is much more tension IMO. Keep in mind that these physics were what I was trying to accentuate with my slider set.... Something is different

Re: Madden NFL 13 Title Update #2 Available Now

And if you knew the history, no one's expectations would be high with a patch 2 weeks after launch.

Prey, you know I've been trying to warn folks not to get their hopes up, and yet, after 2 weeks after launch, people feel that all noted bugs should be fixed.

Those two weeks = MS/Sony certification.

Yep...but nobody wants to read...or comprehend. This is nothing new.

But the lynch mob mentality persists.

We are all frustrated we have a game that is incomplete. But what else can you do?

I am playing other games. No reason to get worked up over a video game.

No, I didn't but I didn't want to see physics toned down as much as they have been either...

So far, that's all I noticed that has been cleaned up.

... but does this also mean the CPU running backs don't fall over as soon as he runs into the back of his Oline?

Still 3 more hours at work and then home and do some testing!

Re: Madden NFL 13 Title Update #2 Available Now

What I don't get is why patches need to be certified by MS or Sony. My certification from them would be either test the game better before you release it or fix the bugs people want fixed NOW. Why should we have to wait 2 months or more for a patch to fix near game breaking bugs and/or game play?

It's a football game and the core of what football is has been lost through the years by EA and the Madden franchise. Make a football game first then build around it.
