Madden NFL 13 Roster Editing Issue Rears Its Ugly Head

[billsmafia13]

I definitely am bummed that we can't edit players' equipment at least. There's some stuff I just can't stand on my players, like those rubber arm pads. It sounds trivial, but I really like editing the look of my players.

I'm the same. The qb wristband is still ridiculous to me too.

At this point I could give a rats @ss about ratings, I can live with the updates. I just want the ability to edit the appearance of ANY player I please. Why don't they understand it? They walked into that damn studio every day knowing this was going to be left out, and their excuse for not trying to include is because "it might break something"? C'mon man thats laziness at it finest.

They patch in the ability to edit some attributes in NCAA last year in dynasty mode.
Art graphics and unlocking a code is different.

Art is not differeent that year they ignored the Browns unis that wern't the correct pants they added in the AFL uniforms about a dozen of them which proves they CAN add things in, they chose not to they don't listen to the fans they have their own scheldue and budget

Conversation with JDewiel on twitter

He states that editing numbers wouldn't necessary mean that the mode would be bugged but it's too high of a risk.

Well why don't they unlock the player names, number and equipment for edit and have some tester test it and see what happens.

Madden Speak Translation... "The code simply isn't there and no we only want our rosters in our game. Now excuse me while I take my ball and go home"

I believe the usb roster transfer will still work, there will simply be no other file to trade other than the games default one. And something tells me it's really intentional. Maybe sending a passive aggressive message.

Question, what's the difference between any thing user editing (within reason) would do to the game that the cpu generated players haven't already? No one there has played more than a season of CC? It's not possible for the devs to watch cpu vs cpu games? Thinking logically they already know what will be broken and what will be exposed if the user is left the ability to edit. (That and it would render the xp thing useless offline.)

The afl stuff was a downloadable package, they had all the pre-render art already. The browns pant in the other hand, they probably didn't have the art therefore that's most likely why they couldn't add it

No thats common sense at its finest. Maybe you don't care if it opens up exploits, bugs or glitches but EA does and so do the majority of the users.

The reason it's frustrating for people is that if basic stuff like names, numbers, equipment, and attributes creates issues you really shouldn't have a job with the title. People are frustrated because they expect more and would like some level of standards and if EA can't design a game without breaking it with functionalty that every sport title has and was even actually in the game 12 months prior is pathetice.

There's no reasonable excuse for what's happening only responsibility with zero accountability IMO.

if equipment editing breaks gameplay what does that say about the future?

If changing the apperance of a player casues exploits, bugs or glitches in GAMEPLAY, this game needs to be pushed back. That's still an lame excuse, so what if it causes bugs and glitches....FIX IT!!!

I'm not even trying to be funny. But I think people can deal with a few days of bugs and glitches for a patch and in return we have full player editing back.

From those tweets, he said they don't even want to TRY because it MAY cause problems. C'mon, I'll at least give you credit if you try.

They do?? Bugs and glitches are usually everywhere when Madden releases. At least that's what I have seen

If this were true both ccm and the rtp wouldn't get released until they were ready. Face it, we are the beta testers. The full finished version "might" come 2014

The whole thing is just too much. When you read something like "it's too risky to try" all you can do is laugh you know. I'm just floored at how much some of the people that defend some of this stuff can take and how accepting they are of such unacceptable reason that EA comes up with.

derrrrr...we're not sure if changing someone's name will bring down the house captain.....roger that sounds good, don't take any chances with it ok.........lol

Re: Madden NFL 13 Roster Editing Issue Rears Its Ugly Head

Some of you keep being a bit snide and preaching common sense as your back up, so here's some of my common sense for you:

If the coding for the new engine is so complex, buggy or whatever to allow editing....what code exactly is Donny Moore (one guy) going to use for editing all of the new rosters for us to easily download into the game? EA hasn't mentioned a single thing about Donny's rosters being a complication, but they sure keep preaching how hard the code is to just change or add things in short time.

My form of common sense keeps finding contradictions.
