    Not a sports game I own on the consoles that is released on a yearly basis that doesn't come out with patches.

    So, it's not just specific to Madden only.

      In year 3 of my Steelers franchise, looks like I won't have to restart after all.

      Believe me, I'm not sticking up for EA, but everything will have some sort of bug in it. The three constants..

        Yes you need 32 team control to get ultra realistic roster management and avoid some CPU mishaps. But overall franchise mode is so much better now than it ever has been on this gen.

        But go over to the NBA 2K12 forum....same crap. Total uproar about wonky cpu AI decision making in Association mode. Same for MLB The Show and on and on and on.


        I am having a blast.

        Too bad the game is "broken" for some.
        I would love to play franchise. I think the gameplay is awesome. To be honest I rarely if ever nit pick that stuff, it's a video game it's not going to be totally realistic. But I've done 2 franchises and both were killed by the IR bug. I'm sorry but when you are no longer able to advance to the next week and have to totally start over because the CPU AI can't figure out how to fix their roster and the franchise becoems locked up, that's a pretty big problem.

          I fail to see the logic behind your statement and the reason is because your statement is not logical.

          The CPU AI (simulated) is making outright foolish decisions consistently (not sporadically) with UDFA's and young talented players with upside. There is no merit to the statement that playing games in the 3D game engine has any bearing whatsoever on simulated activity outside of the 3D game engine. \

          If the issue doesn't impact your personal enjoyment, then so be it. But don't come on here acting as if people should put duct tape over their eyes and pretend that REAL issues simply don't exist.

            And it still took a patch to get it there.

                For whatever reason, I enjoy doing sim franchises more than I actually like playing the game. With the UDFA issue, I don't even want to start a franchise. I have no desire to control all 32 teams. In what was supposed to be the year of the franchise, I can't even get into franchise mode.

                This patch doesn't do anything for me. CPU cut logic needs to be fixed.

                  This post is beautiful, my friend.

                  I'm tired of, everytime I have an issue, being told to do this, that, or the other thing. The fact is, I shouldn't have to use sliders to make the game playable. I should use sliders to fine tune it to fit my playstyle.

                  Like you said about the steak - when the steak gets to me, cooked to my specifications, it's then up to be to put the extra seasonings on it to specify it to my needs (sliders). But like you said, it's NOT up to me to finish cooking the steak because the cook didn't do it right the first time (unfortunately, what sliders are in actuality, spending hours upon hours of testing and balancing sliders sets to get a realistic game experience - that's not MY job, I shouldn't have to do that).

                    It's not specific to sports titles either, every game gets patches these days.

                      As someone who is struggling with the decision to keep or trade in Madden, this patch isn't doing much in the way of convincing me to keep it.

                            It's doing alot to convince me not to buy M13.

                              I wont say I wont purchase NCAA and Madden next year but I can pretty much guarantee I wont preorder. Im gonna wait until all the real issues hit the fan to see if it is worth the purchase. The problem with Madden and what has been this generation is that they dont build on what is already there. If they just keep adding to the good and take out the bad they will have a great game...this is why 2k is so successful. We dont want to have a new formula every year or some new stupid feature we just want you to build and what we already enjoy...

                                Believe me I hear you and I do agree. I don't like the fact I have to have 32 team control. But I love playing console football, it is an addiction and damn it I will do this to make it work for me.

                                But seriously I am with you. It should not have to be this way. Case and point is NCAA 12. I am in year 4. I don't worry about the other 100 plus teams in the game. I just focus on my school.

                                I wish Madden had this aspect down. We can only hope and wish that they can tighten up the franchise AI decision making.

                                Until then I lose an extra 4-5 hours of my life micro managing the other 31 teams. As I am a gamer who plays at least 4-5 seasons per franchise on Madden. I insist on getting my $$$ worth and getting at least 2 years out of my sports games. Madden up until 2007 was the only sports game I purchased each and every year.

                                I learned over the years and years of sports video gaming not to buy them every year. But Madden was special for me for a long time.

                                Madden 10 11 and 12 has been a progression IMO and I hope 13 builds upon the great improvements in Franchise mode and fine tunes things.
