You should only be allowed to make realistic changes. DE to OLB, LG to RG, G to T, S to CB.

A quarterback to wide receiver/running back is realistic.

Some of them, Pryor, Tebow etc. just refuse to do it because they feel they can play in the NFL at a high level.

Did they put the option to use created playbooks in for CCM?

I'm sure this has been asked but I couldn't find it in my searching:

Anyone heard if the zoom camera will be patched? We all know whats wrong with it. I'm sick of playing on standard as it's too far away to get a good feel of this game.

do you need to restart your offline CCM for this update?

Sorry if this has been answered...

But will this patch fix the messed up stats when simming a game in offline CCM?

I sure hope so.

I played a game and simulated defense just to see what the stats would look like.

NE ran 113(!) offensive plays. Brady threw 52 passes (446 yards) and Ridley and Woodhead each had around 25 carries. They scored 62 points and their running backs averaged around eight yards per carry.

It's not usually this bad, but the amount of plays the CPU runs in sim is what is KILLING the realism of the statistics.

I would hope this can be addressed in a tuner, but it needs to be addressed. I appreciate all of EA's hard work with this upcoming patch, but as it is every year, the simulation statistics need some serious attention.

You should only be allowed to make realistic changes. DE to OLB, LG to RG, G to T, S to CB.

You should be allowed to put anyone anywhere and the game engine representing the players skills vs the position's needs in terms of performance. There are no rules in the NFL about who can play where. Realism would incorporate that.

So if I want to use Harvin as a HB like the Vikings do sometimes, Cobb like the Packers do, split McCoy out as a WR, have both Tebow and Sanchez on the field, I should be able to. The game shouldn't say "you can't put a WR in a HB slot in the formation" or "you can't put a QB at HB".

Heck, can you put a DL as FB? Put OL at TE in a 3 TE formation so you can have 8 on the field at once like a team did on Sunday (everything you see on Sunday?)

Primary position should be for contract situations/expected salary more than anything else. Otherwise, position = where you play on the field - and that can change based on set, formation, motion/shifts, and package.

No you will not have to, unless you would like to upload a CUSTOM ROSTER into your Connected Career.

No you cannot slide over to the other team. Somebody on your console can only slide onto your team and play with you.

Still no created playbooks in Connected Careers

Is this same as old coach mode (QB) or a new version? Can User controlled QBs with Coach Mode On scramble?

Okay so on the draft players being able to be edited. My guess is that they don't want to throw away all their work on the back stories, which I could care less about. They are after all made up, so I doubt anyone would miss it. What ever happened to letting the people who buy the game play how they want to play it offline? I don't care about Bull Griggs, in fact I find it comical that EA would think anyone would. One of the greatest aspects was being able to import draft classes into Madden from NCAA, thus increasing replay value. My only question is if we cannot edit draft classes, what is the thought process behind it? Do you think people want to be told how to play a game offline, or do you not want your grand idea of scripted drafts thrown out?

Josh Looman has mentioned many times that this is something we want in Madden, it just wasn't ready to be properly implemented into Madden NFL 13.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Title Update #3 Arrives October 16th, Edit CCM Rosters and More

Can someone, doesn't necessarily have to be Frisk, explain to me WHY we can't edit the positions of our players? That seems like one of the most logical things to edit. OLB / DE. Tackle to Guard. Guard to Center. Left Tackle to Right Tackle. Now the depth chart does let us work around the limitation somewhat, but still....

My hypothesis is they don't want cheesers (God did I really just use that word) turning online CCM to a fiasco by making Mark Barron a DT and Aaron Rodgers a WR. But that's all I can come up with. Seems like the schemes and such should be able to still function.

This is just something that wasn't ready for Connected Careers. A lot of things change on the backend when a player changes positions. There are also things that could be used as exploits (i.e. changing a player position to gain XP, and then switching back after the game). When the team can devise a way to implement this realistically and efficiently we will see it in Madden.

There are too many pages for me to figure out if this question has already been asked.... so forgive me if it has...

Anyone know if all these changes will take affect in current offline CCM's? Or will I have to create a new one in order to take advantage?

The only thing you will have to restart your Connected Career for is custom roster import. Everything else will happen retroactively

Can you do an offline multiplayer ccm?

Multiplayer in the sense that you and another can play with eachother on the same console. You cannot control different teams in the same Connected Career without retiring and changing teams.
