Re: Madden NFL 13 Connected Careers Manual and Game Manuals Available Now

There's a simple fix to this, if you decide to switch to a 3-4, just switch your pass rushing DE to OLB on the depth chart and put your run stuffing DEs or DTs at the other DE positions. Problem solved.

True... this would work for my team, but not for the other 31 teams. It would be nice if the game recognized that this happens every year in the NFL. Not a deal breaker though... they made so many improvements that I doubt I'll be as bothered by it this year as I have been in year's past.

Or do what most teams have to do - find new players.

Most teams, especially in the first year of a new defense, use what they have since it's near impossible with the salary cap to dump all who they have under contract. What I'll probably do is switch to a multiple defense scheme during the transition year until I can get the right personnel to run the 3-4 or 4-3 full time.

Regardless, it will be a fun game.

you can play as a player or as a coach. choosing to play as a player is similar to superstar mode from previous maddens. choosing to play as a coach is like playing franchise mode from previous maddens. hope that clears up your confusion.

Thanks sounds cool.

I think if we get ncaa draft classes then we do need player editing...the past has told us they come in with jacked up equipment.

It's not so great in real life right now, but for CC being a Rams fan is a perfect jumping in point. The blueprint it shows for the team in the manual is exactly the way I want to build the team.

I use to spend a lot of time adjusting sliders for my sports games, but the last couple years, I've made a few tweaks and just rolled with it. This mode makes me want to do everything that I can to maximize the authenticity of the gameplay experience so that every move in CC has meaning.

Does anyone know if you can change your gameplan for a team. Like will the saints always be a vertical passing team or over time will they change into a running team? I just don't like being pigeon holed into a set system.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Connected Careers Manual and Game Manuals Available Now

Is there a workaround for using more than one team?

yes but it's useless because you still can only play against the CPU in offline games no matter what team you have

And jacked up ratings.

The difficulty they are going to have with importing draft classes is all the new player types they've added. I'm no programmer, but I could imagine that would cause all sorts of issues since, for instance, a linebacker isn't just a linebacker anymore... there are five different types of linebackers now and fitting every one into their right category could get messy.

However, if they find a way to make the import smooth, they should give us the option to edit the draft classes after import. That way we can make adjustments to ratings so the draft plays out somewhat realistically (no 1st round punters!), since transferring players from NCAA to Madden seems to do funny stuff to their ratings.

Maybe I can get your thoughts on this, as a Rams fan:

Here's an issue I have. They have a team like STL for example preferring Power RB because they have Steven Jackson.

But a new regime just came in and drafted Isiah Pead in the 2nd round for the future, and he's about the exact opposite of a Power RB.

So does that mean that STL values their own 2nd round pick at RB lower than they "should"?

As a coach, you can have whatever gameplan you want.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Connected Careers Manual and Game Manuals Available Now

is it confimred on the manual anywhere that a human cant play a human game in CCM offline? look at NCAA at least you could play any game human vs Human and control your own team

Not necessarily. A huge amount of people here prefer 32-team control just so they can make sure the AI teams are managing their rosters in a realistic, intelligent, competitive way. So this workaround is still go for that.

That's fine, as long as I can play as the Steelers and Packers myself.

I don't see any mention to regular (Not in CC) practice mode in the manual has it been removed?
