Re: Madden 13 Patch #3 details

Props to EA that's a lot of things for patch #3 glad edit rosters is back also will not mind that we can now use our own custom rosters to start a CCM.

I obviously can't prove it, but it's my opinion that in every patch, more than what they put in the notes gets fixed. So when we look at the notes for this patch and what they are actually telling us about, I'm really impressed with their effort. Despite being more optimistic than most about them being seriously committed to making this a great game, I still am pleasantly surprised that many things that I thought wouldn't be fixed until next year, were instead addressed in M13.

Yes, we have to see how it's implemented, and yes some of these fixed aren't going to work, but I hope that some of the tired anti EA rhetoric can be put out to pasture now, and the focus can be solely about constructive lobbying for improvements in the core gameplay mechanics/A.I. and the addition of new CCM features and the return of all lost franchise mode elements.

Well hopefully one of the quiet fixes is when your down in the 4qtr and you have the opportunity to comeback, you can actually call time out to stop the clock. Always happens when under 2min. Other than that, M13 has already been fun.

So still no custom playbooks in CCM?

So can we control all 32 teams now as multiple coaches?

I'm quite impressed with this all. Yes, most of these things should of been in the game upon release but better late then never right?

If I could have one more fix added in it would probably be the zoom cam. I also played the broadcast cam the other day and actually enjoyed it however that also needs to be fixed along with the zoom.

On kickoffs and punts the camera shouldnt follow the ball like it does cause you can't see the coverage unit. IT would be great if it would zoom out on kicks and on passing plays because you tend to lose receivers who go deep cause the camera is too fixed, im speaking about the broadcast cam here.

Props to everyone who contributed to getting this patch.

So it appears I won't have to restart my CCM to get most of the fixes.. will I be able to edit my Scheme without restarting?

Pretty sure this hasn't been addressed directly.. I read through most of the thread.

So what exactly is meant by coach mode? Do you have to pick the plays?

Yes, call the play and the action is carried out on the field.

And to think I was dangerously close to trading Madden in....at least I have 2k13 to hold me over until this patch is released.

This all looks great on paper, it appears the Madden team is working hard to right all there wrongs but we'll see when it comes out on the 16th.

Mkay, that was a really nice update. REALLY good to see that they're paying attention, that's what keeps me coming back.

Having said that, I would still love to see any of these I posted in another thread:

Opposing teams uniform editing: I haven't played the Titans in current uniforms in years, I've always played the Oilers. Now I'm forced to play against the Titans uniforms.

Including ALL the teams uniforms! Been waiting for years to use the Chargers blue jerseys, blue helmets, and white bolts.

Damn, I listed 8 changes I'd like to see in the other thread, and erased 6 of them just now because of this patch. Well done, EA. Well done.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Title Update #3 Arrives October 16th, Edit CCM Rosters and More

So, will all future roster updates now be for only "play now and online?" -with the option to export to ccm?

Since custom rosters can now be used for ccm does that negate the need for separate ccm roster updates?

I guess what I'm asking is are all roster updates going to be "universal" for all modes now?

Great question! I hadn't thought about that. Answer?

If all these fixes are true. What rating does the game get now?

Re: Madden 13 Patch #3 details

I think you misunderstood this man. So you can be on the same team in the offline, but you can't control other teams. You can have 4 guys on a team.

So basically EA decided to patch in small stuff compared to what has been offered to us hardcore madden fans for ever, ability to choose any game on the nfl schedule to play and not have to deal with CCM fantasy football

Why is it that your game is the only major sports game that handcuffs the users by making us play fantasy football and not let us run a real nfl sim league.

So I have to pick one team and start a season only to see BS moves by the cpu that do no reflect the real life NFL?

You can patch everything and it will still be nothing if you guys decided it was a great idea to remove all team user control for those many of us long time vets that want to enjoy real nfl rosters and not some BS fantasy mode.

back to the shelf for this game that is actually good on the field but total BS off the field.

2K Basketball offers franchise, my player, and a season mode....They know better.

I think EA needs a bigger 'Good Job' from us than this tread!

Thoughts?

I think this is possibly the best patch ive ever seen not just from EA but from any game outside of a pseudo free expansion pack
