Madden NFL 13 Announcement Coming Soon, Could it be CCM Roster Editing?

Re: Madden NFL 13 Announcement Coming Soon, Could it be CCM Roster Editing?

To the 30 & over crowd of which I am a member I say this : WE ARE ANALOG DInOSAUrs LIVING IN A DIGiTAL AGE!!! Online gaming is the present and the future an ironically is exactly the kind of stuff we (well me anyway) wanted as kids... So I'm happy that all the online guys got what they begged for (just remember that fantasy draft isn't an add-on, it's a feature that was removed for no apparent reason and than miraculously put back after enough people pissed an moaned and threatened Ea with abandonment) I myself never used it that much over the years cause I didn't like hearing the commentators talking about what a player did the year before on a different team as if he's still on that team... So speaking as an old fart who plays almost exclusively offline out of comfortable habit I ask EA not to forget about us dinosaurs an don't force us to play online with people who pass every down, run no huddles, go for it on 4th & forever, never punt, an use "schemes" all for the pleasure of saying how good their ranking is (I went off the deep end, I apologize, rant over)

If they add in the ability to edit players before they add in the ability to adjust your gameplan, run/pass etc each week then I will be severely disappointed.

No controller select menu in CCM, no co-op still - no ability to play this game with my friends sat next to me?

I'm happy for the Fantasy Draft folk, but seriously upset that I still can't play a team sport with teammates.

Wow. So online fantasy draft was the big announcement?? Great, something I don't care anything about.

I've only done a fantasy draft in Madden maybe twice in the 20 years I've been playing the game. That said, it's a good sign that they listened to a complaint from the customer base and got it incorporated in about two weeks after launch. So while this announcement doesn't really do much for me, I have no complaints.

I don't foresee player editing, beyond maybe equipment and jersey numbers, happening for online CCM... I just think there are too many potential pitfalls with getting 32 rosters synched up after everybody does their own edits on their own consoles... not to mention mickey mouse crap like beefing up attributes and a signing contract for your RG only to then swap him over to LT. Although I do think they could possibly turn offline CCM back into a big sandbox with full editing... but with everything else that needs attention in offline, I don't think that happens this year either... but I'd be happy with equipment, numbers AND position editing for offline.

So something that EA said wasn't possible to implement for M13 (fantasy draft) and would have to wait till next madden was easily implemented into M13 a couple weeks after release. Am I to assume they spent a lot of time to get this to us or am I to assume that most of what they say isn't possible to add just means they want to hold on to it so they can use it as for next years new content?

Adding Fantasy Draft inside of Online CCM is not that great considering you still have to use their CCM roster to start out with and only have 1 use of it. The part of Fantasy Draft I really liked was making a team prior and loading them up with scrubs then starting a Franchise with this team. This feature they added will only appeal to a select crowd because it is only available in one mode at the moment and won't be available to all modes until a patch down the road (don't know why they can't release offline tuner packs).

I also wonder why something too hard to implement into M13 was easily added, yet we still don't get any fixes for smaller issues in CCM (like changing your coach gameplan like mentioned above)? Hell, why are the refs still facing backwards in the game? How in the heck to you miss that EA in testing, GC miss it (or you just don't listen to them), you miss people bringing it up, and you can't freaking patch it? Played my first couple of games yesterday after the patch and refs still face the wrong freaking way.

Let me say this again, THE REFS FACE THE WRONG WAY. How about you actually play your game EA and notice the simple stuff you can't get right.

Jesus what a "shocking" fail this is. Especially when dealing with a mostly sim crowd here at OS. Not once in the history of football videogames have I wanted to go out and do a fantasy draft to get guys on different teams without trading for them. It takes the competitive edge off of everything and is just overall, very boring.

EA, don't hype something up that 90% of the madden population could really care less about when there are so many other things wrong with the gamw that could have been patched to increase the value of the game. Nice job catering to the 12-16 year olds who want Aaron Rodgers throwing to Andre Johnson in a Buffalo Bills uniform.

As I stated earlier in the thread, I have not used fantasy draft much at all... But I'm not quite sure you get how it works. The 'competitive edge' is very much alive in a fantasy draft scenario... You don't draft in a bubble... 31 other teams are taking quality players between your picks. Going for a top end QB/WR early is going to cost you in other areas... I can fully appreciate the unique experience it offers... The only reason I rarely have done it is because... damn it takes a long time... lol

It ain't about wanting all the best players on one team. It would much much easier in M11/12 to just human control all 32 teams, make any trade you want and then let the CPU sim everything else after your team was stacked.

I'd be happy if they would just add the ability to edit player equipment and numbers in CCM.

Hopefully it means an all-encompassing patch that gets offline CCM up to snuff and includes editing - and that it will be out next week.

The ability to bring back regular Franchise and import NCAA 13 players, maybe??

I hope this isn't it .... that there is still future plans to patch this thing so that it is playable for all..... offline CCM especially. Pease fix the camera angle issue .... I want to play using "broadcast" in CCM! Player editing would be nice. I had also read in another forum... not sure if there was any truth to it, but they were going to add offline fantasy draft , but as DLC only.
PLEASE FIX THE CAMERA ANGLES !

I agree to a certain extent, I've never used this feature yet, but, to the power of voicing your opinion, it was the number 1 request at the GCer's site.

Power to the people.

Fantasy draft is the announcement.
