Madden NFL 13 Online Fantasy Drafts Are on the Way

Re: Madden NFL 13 Announces Fantasy Draft!

How? Are you serious? Look at all the issues the offline CC has compared to the online. Look how they are adding fantasy draft tomorrow for online, but not offline. Now would you like to ask that question again?

That's not "punishing" you. You honestly think that EA said, "Let's make sure there are a bunch of offline issues so we can really screw over the guys that don't play online"? Give me a break.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Announces Fantasy Draft!

Guys i can say im about 90% sure that EA will add fantasy draft for offline too. I cant say 100% bc its EA but i think it gets done

I think so as well just gotta wait for that Microsoft patch certification which honestly should be shorter for sports games they have a short shelf life.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Announces Fantasy Draft!

Have any of you thought they it may just be online FOR NOW, as they can roll out online updates WITHOUT having to release a patch?

My bet is that Offline CCM Fantasy Draft will be in the next title update

You are completely missing the point. If you played offline you would understand. Either way I can't believe you can sit here and blindly defend this.

EA didn't set out to screw over the offline player, so I don't even know why you're even saying that. Also, are you even 100% certain they're not going to release this to the offline player? This is a SERVER SIDE UPDATE. Something they can push out without the approval of Sony or Microsoft. There's a possibility that they add this to their patch whenever that's released. If they do that, then this entire argument is moot.

..........Okay just because they didn't set out to screw over the offline player doesn't mean that didn't do just that...... Stop being blind....

This sucks I don't want to play online, I don't want to play against other people. I enjoy playing against the AI and I can't play at my pace when I want. Not having to play against some ******* who is cheesing. I like to play offline the sliders I like, the trades I like, and big have to make other league players happy. I hope to God 2k comes out with a game it will be so much better than madden after 1 try, not this bull crap ea makes us deal with by taking stuff out one yr then putting it back and say look what we added!!!!!

So they're punishing you because they screwed something up unintentionally? Pick a new word other than "punishing" and I might agree with you.

And stop saying I'm being blind. My eyes are quite open to the issues with Madden, both online and off.

Once again, if this draft comes out in the next patch that has to go through certification, this entire argument is moot.

Idk I wouldn't be shocked if EA was kinda lax on testing CC on both sides knowing that they could push a server side up date for any online bugs or kinks and the lack of early patch for some of the more obvious issues in offline kinda lends weight to this

Re: Madden NFL 13 Will Be Getting Fantasy Draft!

After about 90% of the people have been asking for it, yes it is.

Not even close man. Look at the poll in my signature. Only 53% or so care about fantasy, roster editing, draft class, coach mode, and created players combined. So prob more like 20% care that much at all about fantasy drafts.

Don't get me wrong, I am 100% behind getting features for everyone, but this wasn't that big of a announcement to the majority, just a small %.
Personally, I think this is just a ploy to get people to play their careers online. They like to show a lot more people are online then there really are playing online vs others leagues IMO.

Anyway, congrats to the guys asking for this. I am happy for you guys, I know what it's like to be missing features I care about(roster edit, playable and working zoom cam, 2 minute & game CPU play call, and much more)

Seriously dude? You are being that literal? Come on... It's like you are arguing just to argue....

Re: Madden NFL 13 Announces Fantasy Draft!

every time i read something in these threads i get such a good laugh...they listen to you guys and then youre STILL not satisfied. here let me help ease your mind

First XBOX Live is not that expensive. And im sure some of you with this "problem" still havent used the free months that come with your xbox

The reason its coming out for online -first- is because in order to release a game patch it has to clear through Microsoft first. they cant just throw a patch out onto the game. Doing it online they dont have to wait for Microsoft because its on the EAs backend and not published through the Microsoft servers.

Now i pose this question. Would you rather have them give you a little bit now, or make you suffer and complain until they can get the full patch out for both offline and online?

What will you say if EA gives the offline player everything they've been giving the online player, through the server side updates, in the next patch? Still screwing them over? Still "punishing" them?

EA fanboy is that you? But seriously then of course that would make people happy. But they haven't done that so far have they? Until further notice people will complain. You have seen all the issues with this game right? Doesn't seem like it.
