Madden NFL 13 Online Fantasy Drafts Are on the Way

Re: Madden NFL 13 Online Fantasy Drafts Are on the Way

Most other years you would be correct, but this year they decided to rip out all the modes and start fresh. They bit off a little more than they could chew with trying to perfect this new CCM mode and have the infinity engine all at the same time. They didn't remove the features you like, they just did poor time management and planning and wasn't able to get them in before the game had to go live.

They should have just release IE and saved the new CCM for next year, but they promised the community for a franchise upgrade for 2013. It didn't turn out to be a complete upgrade but once they get back all the features the previous modes had, it will be amazing.

You need to stop thinking about yourself and start looking at the big picture and how it's gonna turn out. No one forced you to get the game this year and all of the features that were left out were stated a good amount of months before the release. This year took a little side step from 12 and for some a back step, but give it time to grow and you will be thanking the Tiburon later once they finally perfect Madden football on this next gen console...

...and then have to move on to the newer consoles, but that's a whole nother story all together. I don't foresee the first few years on the newer consoles being that great.

Clearly you didn't read my post thoroughly. I stated rather bluntly that I didn't care care if editing was in the game or not as long as the ai was proper. It isn't. I even said I didn't like to do it. How was I supposed to know without playing CCM that the AI was poor?
What is your point that no one forced me to get the game (which I didn't "get", I rented it)? Are you suggesting that I am not allowed to be displeased with a product because I wasn't forced to get it? That's absurd.

You need to quit making assumptions about things you don't know.

Man, this is funny. Here's a timeline:

08-28-12: Electronic Arts Madden National Football League Twenty Twelve Releases to much pent up, strange anger. "They left out [whatever ____ likes]

Over the days, they attempted and did fix some issues for the online crowd. Hell, it's easier to push out server side updates than to just funnel their time into a patch that will take weeks. Things get fixed, things will be fixed for the users living in rural areas and other non-suburban and urban areas. Or users who refuse to start a private CCM. As the days roll by, more anger at what was left out builds and the usual arguments arise.

Defense, "I hate this passing!", "Why I throw picks man!?", "EA SuX!!!" etc.

09-13-12: Electronic Arts Tiburion Studio, developers of Madden National Football League Twenty Twelve tells users that they will be pushing a server side update adding Fantasy Draft. People, seemingly out of the woodwork say they care not about a Fantasy Draft and claims of "They are totes catering to the casual crowd!"

What's new, another day reading Operation Sports. Something that used to be informative has turned into a home for people to just constantly be wishy washy on what they want and insult other people/developers of games/the sun for being too hot/water for being to wet.

This whole thread and its' incessant bitching deserves a "smack my head" moment. They are updating, adding, conning, whatever makes you feel important when talking about EA, things the fans want. Some things, which I figure equipment editing, may be harder to implement. But do, continue yelling at the invisible mean EA in your mind.

And an addendum, offline players, I highly doubt they will not patch fixes into your mode when the actual gameplay patch arrives.

My problem is this: i bought the game 14 days ago, i am an offline CCM player only. What I got was: Broken gamerplay( cpu running game, sliders not working) Broken coach schemes ( west coast off. and spread def. the only options for a created coach) No roster updates( and the one we are getting today, is allready outdated) Is this fair?. I paid full price, you know.

it is not fair, you bought a product that does not let you do what you payed for. i agree with you, it feels like a complete ripoff......i wonder what would happen if we took a law suit towards EA and got everyone that feels the same to sign a partition, you reckon we could win?? we could take a class action suit, just like people did here in australia against bank fees, and they won with ease. im down

Re: Madden NFL 13 Online Fantasy Drafts Are on the Way

This is a nice addition I like and many people love, so that's good news. However, I'm not giving EA an ounce of credit. They just don't deserve it. Recycling or re-adding features is not something to applaud. There is never any attention to detail. It's always a disappointing gift in fancy wrapping paper. When they actually re-add all the features that were there since 2004, Improve the gameplay, work out the bugs, and then add something new and exciting, THEN I will praise them. Right now they just string all their fans along with a poorly made game. Preference is one thing, but every year they do this. They strip the game down and slowly add things back in. It's pretty ridiculous. EA is a business obviously, but when they buy the licensing and corner the market, the fans are stuck with whatever they put out. Other companies don't do this.

If you're not in the civilized capitalistic western world, then why the hell do you need an Xbox or Madden 13?

You're describing an incredibly unambitious life where people who are in bad situations, wherever the country, simply sit back and play video games rather than try to make the necessary moves for a better life for themselves and their children.

If you can get your hands on and have the necessities for video games, then you at the very least have the opportunity to get out of the position you're in.

I can't respect a person who would rather play video games offline for the rest of their lives while sitting back and having their lives ruined around them. It's an incredibly immature way to think.

hahah your so for lack of a better word stupid.....you have such a closed mind frame, not even going to bother with you anymore, your dumb and ignorant to the fact that other people may have circumstances differing to ones you are familiar with. there are so many flaws in your arguments im not even attempt to go through them all. down under here in australia were we ride kangaroos to school, and they just roam through our cities, and dingos eat our babies, we call you a wanker.

That's why you don't see "If it's in the game, it's in the game" which was their motto for more than a decade. It's not in the game. It's false advertisement. Very sneaky those EA people.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Online Fantasy Drafts Are on the Way

My problem with adding fantasy drafts is this: Why continue to add to a game that remains fundamentally broken in several key areas. Fix it first, then add features.

[IWWROCKS]

Re: Madden NFL 13 Online Fantasy Drafts Are on the Way

EA can't win...there's been loads of posts on here, and I mean loads, asking for fantasy draft. They add it in, and you get a load of people complaining cause they should focus on other areas first!

If I was EA I wouldnt bother updating anything lol...i'd just tell everyone "if you want something different, make your own game"

who says ppl are sitting back gaming all day, who even came to that assumption?? did i mention that, no i didint...u should actually take a step back n realize that there are different races, different ppl, different beliefs out there, instead of resorting to your ignorant close minded thought process....but i guess like kendrick lamar says it ignorance is bliss....thats why america is quote un quote the best country i the world.....because ignorance is f'n bliss aint it

Re: Madden NFL 13 Online Fantasy Drafts Are on the Way

Well, congrats to the Fantasy Draft people! Not exactly what I was hoping for, but we can't all win!

With that being said I really REALLY hope their next focus is on getting all the things within CCM that don't work fixed - including game play!! They can continue to add all the things people are yelling for, but if the mode itself is... broken, then I won't play it! I've spend all my time with Madden 13 playing with sliders without getting to a spot where I'm happy

The game plays a real solid digital football simulation in Play Now! So if they can add Fantasy Draft a few weeks after release it shouldn't take too long to "import" the game play from Play Now to CCM! So here's to hoping that's their next focus!

Re: Madden NFL 13 Online Fantasy Drafts Are on the Way

agree, why havent more asked this.

wasnt fantasy draft removed in theory, to improve it? so that when its back in it is "perfect"? wouldnt that mean more of what we see from other games(I wont list them to not piss people off)

but dont we want logic where the cpu will take the better younger player over the soon to retire next year player of a same overall etc? cant tell me that those other games dont make fantasy draft actually awesome due to the CPU taking those high potential(or development) rating players

Re: Madden NFL 13 Online Fantasy Drafts Are on the Way

Congrats to all those who wanted fantasy draft. As an offline player this means nothing to me and im sure many other offline players have felt neglected by M13.

I'll never understand the logic behind taking something out like coop franchise when so many people play that way and have ever since it's conception. Must we be forced to keep up with the times and be subjected to interacting with friends solely behind our headsets?? I've seen older players of this game imploring them to put it back in cause its the old school way. I'm 23 and I choose to play the oldschool way and only that way, I hate the direction this game is going streamlining everything to online. Show some substance and loyalty EA.

Again, i'm happy for those who want this. One thing that baffles me though are the people saying "give them a break, they're obviously thinking about us and are working hard by putting these things back in"
Well its hard for me to cut EA any slack when its a feature that has been in the games for years, they take it out, theres an uproar and then they put it back in. If they left important things alone there wouldn't be so much distaste for this game.
I'll give them credit when they put something in the game that significantly improves the game for offline and online people and that wasn't stripped from the last installment. So yeah, to me, this effort isn't too impressive. Nothing will be overly impressive until they show some loyalty to the offline crowd that have helped with the success in sales for so many years.

Completely agree.

I've bought Madden since the very first console version and I've been enjoying co-op since they first introduced it, 15+ years ago.

I can't believe that a sport, which relies so heavily on teamwork in reality, is represented by a videogame which doesn't allow for human teammates. I can't think of any other team-based sports games which prohibits teamwork?

Re: Madden NFL 13 Online Fantasy Drafts Are on the Way

Well, good for the people that wanted this. I didn't want it, but at least we now know if the community keeps talking about things will happen.

Now I just have to go bump every thread about editing and better late game AI.
