    No CPU vs. CPU in Madden 13

    For those who are interested in watching games CPU vs. CPU in CCM, there is no spectator mode and also no Coach Mode. I have Season Ticket and Early Access to Madden 13 and this was one of the most important things for me to know.

    This is a real bummer for me and probably lots of other simulation based players. EA did us no favor here!

      I knew it. The fact that nobody could answer this simple question kind of gave me a clue.

      I know that CPU vs CPU gamers are the minority but come on man. Didn't they create Head Coach for folks like us?

      I guess it would've been hard to figure out how to give out XP. Well hopefully they figure it out and include it next year.

        Wow. I didn't know that. I was thinking of taking the simulation route when I eventually get around to playing it.

          For a person with a partial disability that is a real deal breaker. Coach mode allowed me to continue to play without using my effected hand, but if this is the new norm Thanks EA from the people with disabilities, thanks for thinking of us

            Disappointing for sure, as this is my main way of seeing how the sliders work (i.e with no human interference, I do this in ALL sports games). Plus I just like to watch games as well from time to time.

            If not for being in a solid online franchise, it would make me at least re-consider the purchase despite all of the advancements this year. I'm hoping that everything CCM offers will lessen the blow somewhat, because I definitely still want to do more with this game than just play it online.

            Are we sure they didn't change coach mode to pass assist or anything like that? Because really, the only thing different about Madden's previous coach mode was that the QB threw the ball on his own (you still had to kick it).

                    I do not get why you can choose Coach Mode in an exhibition game but not in Connected Career Mode!!! This kills Madden for me. Will stick with the vita version then.

                      WOW !!!! in all honesty....deal breaker on the CPU vs CPU !!!!

                      Though i will pose this question as follow up.....

                      on the demo you could not choose spectator mode.....but once the game began you could change the controller to the middle and let it be cpu vs cpu. Maybe this is possible???

                      Hopefully Madden 14 will have everything back that was stripped away this year in favor of the nice new engine and gameplay.

                      I will wait till next year to purchase for the first time ever. I will stick with Madden 10 this year with operation sports fan rosters.

                        nope, I've tried that. No spectator mode. Only in exhibition games. Same goes with Coach Mode. Only in exhibition games. Not in CCM. Bummer

                          Does coach and CPU vs. CPU mode in exhibition have different broadcast camera angles for the different stadiums (like last year)?

                            I believe so, yes.

                              Phew! I am glad they left that it. I often find myself watching a real life game and then wanting to fire that matchup up in Madden...retaining the varied broadcast cameras is a small plus, then.
