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

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

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.

How long are the quarters in which you are super simming the game?

Cool. I hope draftee names are included in this.

Once you have started your Connected Career you cannot edit names of players.

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

Just wanted to quote this so it gets responded to by Emm. I know what Dewiel stated, just want a second confirmation from a different EA source.

Re: Madden 13 Patch #3 details

Ok. Thats what I'm trying to get clarified here. Emmdot said "most" everything else can be edited. I'm digging in the weeds trying to get something concrete. I don't figure it should be a big deal for the simple fact that the names aren't spoken (I don't think) so it should just change the names within the written twitter paragraphs no biggy.

I don't know the answer so I will have to test to check it out. I'll come back to it when I have an answer.

Is CPU play calling logic going to be changed? End of half end of game? Along those lines.***n to pass ratio going to be tweeted? Some teams call run plays an excessive amount

Still no fix for the upside-down on-field Kickoff, Playoffs and Championship Game banners.

Dammit. Too bad Josh Looman blocked me on Twitter for getting at him over Ultimate Team a few years back. Somebody tell the man!

Josh has nothing to do with Ultimate Team, only Connected Careers.

Re: Madden 13 Patch #3 details

Hey Frisk,

One thing I was wondering, since it's not in this patch. Are the Zone Coverage Issues something that can be fixed with a tuner update?

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

I am very happy I will not have to restart my Dolphins franchise to get the new patch fixes.

I had put my offline CCM on hold till I got confirmation of this. On to play some Madden 13 tonight!

Nice..would have been great for name change..but non the less good

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

Sounds like we can create multiple players and use that custom roster. If true I will be buying. Holding off till that is confirmed.

This is confirmed, you will be able to see on the target date of October 16th

Re: Madden 13 Patch #3 details

Player scheme and player type is dictated by ratings.

Hey Frisk,

This is something we are looking into but as of right now I am unsure if it can be addressed for Madden 13. I will of course keep you all updated because it definitely is an issue. TE and slot streaks are open all day against the lackluster CPU

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

So, will all future roster updates now be for only "play now and online?" -with the option to export to ccm?

Since custom rosters can now be used for ccm does that negate the need for separate ccm roster updates?

I guess what I'm asking is are all roster updates going to be "universal" for all modes now?

Yes you could do it that way. By saving the new play now roster, you could import it into connected careers as a custom roster.
