    Things that need to be patched in co op

    First of let me start of by saying I really hope this thread is seen by a Dev because it will make the playing experience of other players a lot better and I hope it can be patched in if there's enough demand. The Co-OP mode is a great mode that me and my friends anticipate on playing a lot we are already hooked, but some things need to be fixed.

    1. The Camera view on defense immerses you in the game yes, but when a pass is made you can not see behind you which makes it hard to stop the CPU on passing downs. What needs to happen is that when the ball is hiked the camera should pan out enough to where both human players can see the field to switch accordingly in the secondary. Along these same lines is the camera does not rotate when you kick the ball off on special teams which basically inverts your running and is a little qwerky. Also the play call screen for the second player is huge when the first player calls a play it blocks the view of the playing field temporarily. I think the 2nd player only needs a small like Pip play call screen at the top right corner of the screen.

    2. Let's say for instance I set up the match and send the invite to my friend, if I am the one to set up the match I can only play QB, whereas on defense I'm free to play with who ever I wish to play with. Me and my friend experimented with this yesterday when we wanted to alternate qb only to figure out that the game does not assign the CPU to hike the ball and play QB if me and my friend decide to play other positions like RB or WR's. This has to be fixed, because are positions are interchangeable on defense and special teams they also should be on offense.

    3. The third and final thing that needs to be fixed with this great mode of CO-OP which I thank EA greatly for is. I think that this mode needs to allow up to 4 players or more to either play against the CPU or one another, because 2 players against the CPU is fun, but my friends and I love to play competitive matches against each other and you can't do that.

    I would compare this to EA sports NBA Live team play or more closely NBA 2k's Team Up Mode, but in a more limited since. In NBA 2k team up mode you can either play ranked team up where you are assigned a player to play with(which EA says they might do in the future with madden) or you can play unranked and set a match up just for friends to either play on each other's teams against the CPU or against one another.
    This could be patched in and incorporated this year simply by allowing more players to join the game.

    If EA really wanted to be great they'd allow Ranked CO-OP games where people could duke it out against one another. All in all the CO-OP mode is extremely fun, but it's short changed, because of those issues and maybe progressively over two patches the things I've said could be patched in Please.

    IAN If you read this board please consider these things you've made a great game far better than anything we've seen on 360 and you could make it better as far as long jevity until next August if you fix these things in CO-OP. Thoughts??

      Everyone is probably more concerned with online franchise and the problems there. I wish the Co-op cam was better. I agree with you on the defensive camera. I just think they should give the option for an overhead or wide angle view.

        I understand what you are saying about franchise, but the CO-OP would be an easier fix and obviously for the longjevity of the game it would be necessary for them to do the above mentioned fixes.

          Co-op is really close to being great, I think there are a lot of things that can be patched in, like I agree with the camera thing, that's something that can really alter the enjoyment of the game. The ability to switch up the play calling would be nice, or if not that, then let the other player have some input on which play gets chosen with a vote, or a highlighted button, or instead of ask Madden, the other player chooses a formation and a play, so the three plays on that page are there.

          I think that the second player or whoever wants to should be able to call plays on defense, that way there's a split of duties. Online franchise is all server side stuff, remember so the fixes that happen are much easier than a patch. Co-op is not, and could also be a step towards full 7 on 7 online games (i say 7 on 7 because I don't think anyone wants to play offensive line).
          Our purchasing power is being eroded. So especially now, the goods must be held to a standard. We end up happier as consumers, and the companies get a clear message: "We won't tolerate sub-par goods." It's a shame, no one cares to speak with their wallet.

            Exactly these are fundamental things that need to be fixed in an already great and fun mode. The camera I'm sure has "steered" a few people away from the mode, but I'm sure it can easily be fixed.

            Also the ability to switch players and alternate responsibility can as well. I agree totally so easy. They just need to look at these threads and fix these small issues.

              I mean that's all I'm saying is give us a camera that's playable.

                I was pumped for Co-Op, until I realized you just play the computer? WTF? I cant imagine anyone sitting there with wack angles just beating up on the CPU with their friends, a total fail of a mode in my eyes.

                Now if they let us team up and play another Human team on live....well you might have something. Personally, this is one of the worst features I have ever seen in Madden. Right up their with SS mode (which could also be good.....but we all know that story)

                    They should patch back Madden Classic Camera for offline/online co-op.

                    For offline co-op the screen in Standard Cam keeps shifting bizarrely on certain plays (normally during a toss or screen/wide pass) and it also pans around unneccesarily, which doesn't help things when you're running a pass pattern.

                    Bring back Madden Classic Cam please.

                        I like the close camera and I get the reason why the put this camera as standard, because they want you to feel like your making decisions almost kinda like first person, but they need to pan the camera out so you can see what's happening on pass plays. Also on offense like I said players should be able to alternate responsibilities and positions. Small fixes and the mode could be playable and yes being able to play some friends ranked or unranked instead of just the computer would be great how come we think of these things yet EA can't?

                          I dont know if this had been metioned but being able to be whoever on offense like how only one player can be qb and cant trade off on plays or something like that an the defense camera is soo hard you can barely see receivers so being able to chose different players like switching before the play and being able to chose different cameras an i agree with the other people about being able to play other people but we all know ea sports they aint going to do nothing an next year they will add it in an take something good out for it so all we can do is hope they patch it but will most likely not happen

                            Yeah IAN your heard that we want to be able to play CO-OP with or against each other and fix the camera. How come there were no issues like this on regular Playstation when you'd have all your friends over get out the multitap and have 4 people playing madden on the same team or against each other with no camera issues??? THat was 10 years ago isn't technology supposed to be getting better not worse? Step your game up and fix Co-op now not next year and call it a new feature like you guys always seem to do. Always have to take something away to put something back in.

                              One thing I'd like to see is the ability to import created teams for both the cpu and humans. If this were possible, my friend and I could do a pseudo co-op franchise where we could load our game for that week up and play on the same team with our franchise team. I hope that this would be something simple to patch as it is available already for other standard online modes.
