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

[TarHeelPhenom]

I promise you I was just telling my best friend that I haven't really played Madden at all this year. It just had too many things missing. I actually Redboxed this game and have kept it so long that it's been paid off. If this patch works correctly then i have to say Madden, NBA 2k13 and NCAA Football 13 will be getting equal run. My excitment comes from:

1) Coach Mode- Coach Mode is the only thing I have played in NCAA and I've had a blast with it. I enjoy see guys perform or get abused without my help and seeing the guys I recruit come in and wreck shop or be busts. Now, the NFL Draft will mean more to me because I won't be able to take a 62 rated LB and turn him into a tackling machine based on my stick skills. Now, if I put him out there and he don't have the skills...I'm done!

2) Editing- I've always been on the side of giving the gamer the ability to customize the game as he see's fit...especially when it comes to player editing. Now we have that again.

3) Being able to change your scheme. Again it's all about customization. If I wanna "hire a new DC or OC in theory" then i'll just change my scheme.

4) CPU AI Fixes- It's the engine that drives the game period and it's extremely critical in Coach Mode games. Excited to see what happens.

You see people! You complain and tell it like it is and you shall receive. People who complained about people complaining...now what? Do you expect a game to be half made and enjoy it for your hard earned money?

We have a voice and we can be heard. Thank you all to making this happen. I'm sure i'm not the only one that kept complaining to Looman on twitter about all this every week.

It's not simply complaining. It's constructive criticism that actually improves the game.

Well constructive criticism can get you so far when you get no response, which will lead to complaints when a product intentionally takes out key features in it's product.

But I do hear what you're saying. I'm just glad they took the time to try to make their fans happy and I am happy.

Great news! Looking forward to finally diving into CCM. Thanks to all here who identified issues and kept "complaining"!

I didn't see anything about the punter/kicker issue in the preseason. I actually haven't seen much talk about it in a while but it's still having a pretty big impact in my games. yay patch though.

In reality, the uproar as a whole contributed to Madden's post launch support of features that were not planned to be in the game. However, the people that were able to relay the problems and issues with the game in a constructive manner, were most effective in bringing about these updates.

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.

This was my thinking also, like hopefully wind direction but probably more like additional uniform changes and what-not.


Point 2--People please actually read the patch notes, and then if you have a question after reading the entire patch notes please look for your answer elsewhere in the thread before posting. If you can't take the time to look for your answer, then it must not be that important! juss sayin this thread ballooned so much 1/2 the posts are not going to get read by Emm & others. And on that note...

Emm, do you know if the reason Position changes are not editable during your career is due to a technical limitation? I'm just really curious as to why you can change a roster ahead of time, but once you start your career you are stuck with the positions noted (and draft). Of course, I mean offline CCM if people are worried about cheating online by changing roster positions somehow. Really people, who are you that try to find ways to cheat every angle? lol

For my style of play, this will probably be #1 immediate need (besides actual game play) until next patch or M14.

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

Impressive patch - just another dirty sock to stuff into some of the hateeeer's and troll's mouths around here. Seriously... EA sports has proved to me since launch day that they really wanted to improve the overall experience of madden and regardless of the bugs and things missing from madden on day 1 release..i was pretty satisfied with the product. While there were things that made me a bit upset..like the zoom cam being way too low and unusable and not working in CCM, some AI logic things that bugged me and create a player was not able to be used in CCM coach mode (regular franchise mode)..i was still able to over look these and many other short comings because the game itself is solid and makes for a fun and exciting NFL football game.

Now with this new patch coming mid october...it is just more proof that EA sports really is'nt on some shady stuff ..this is proof in the pudding that the reason why certain things were missing were because of the reasons they said they were not in... "lack of time" ...so all the haters, after this patch and your still complaining...go and troll elsewhere and let the rest of us enjoy the game but most importantly..let us continue to help madden developers improve the game by our "constructive criticism"...there is nothing wrong with pointing out bugs, flaws and things we think need corrected but dont sit here and bash a game and bash the developers when we see "REAL" effort being put forth into this game..even after it's release.

Trolls, complainers and disgruntled haters are never satisfied and always complaining. That will never change..these people will always be around..so you guys that are positive minded...brush them off like flies...dont let them get you down or spoil the fun you are having with Madden 13.

Props to EA Sports for their effort and the fact that they are listening to their consumers. I said it before and i'll say it again..i am a fan of all sorts of genre's of videogames. I go to a ton of various gaming forums.. a lot that are not sports gaming forums and a lot of official gaming company forums and EA sports is one of very few that actually "listen" to their consumers and actually use our idea's and put into the game. We should appreciate that instead of finding ways to keep hating on them. I just dont get it...how some people are just so selfish and heartless in here..i am just thankful that my heart is not like that...I thank God he gave me a grateful heart that is unselfish and a mind that can focus on positives rather than negatives. I couldnt even imagine living life always unsatisfied with things.

Thank You EA SPORTS! Some of us do appreciate you're hard work!!

I think it will be about time soon for a topic with Patch #4 requests in it.

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

Re: Madden 13 Patch #3 details

Glad to hear that you guys fixed my number 1 problem the zoom camera , in CCM thanks!!!!

The bigger question about the zoom cam is if they were able to tweak it since release day. Yes its great that it is fixed but after having spent some quality time with it from release day 1...i and many others found it to be way too low and not tilted down enough. A few guys around here actually discussed this with Mike Young about it *recently* and from what i gather is that mike young may be able to adjust it for us.

Seriously bro..the way the zoom cam is now..its so close to being pure greatness but because of how low it is and having no tilt..the field of view down field ruins it for passing plays...you're perspective when looking down field for open receivers is handicapped bigtime by how the zoom cam angle is right now..like i said..so close to perfection but yet so far away.

Honestly it just needs just a tiny bit of adjustments and it would be GODLY! ...Oh i just hope Mike Young was able to tweak it for this patch man...but since i already gave up on it after trying it countless times in "Play Now" mode..i have already given up and reverted back to "standard" cam which i am ok with.... "even" if the zoom cam does not get the tweaks that is needed for it to be playable this year. I wont be using the zoom cam if its not tweaked so its raised higher up and tilted down a bit...i'll just keep using standard cam but trust me..i am praying it's tweaked in the patch.

I think it was because of all the customers unhappy, and more important sales of madden 13 have nearly stopped. This patch should spark a little interest and sales.

Just wish the art team would have worked a little harder and fixed chicago's pants, darkened up the grass a little in shade(too bright of green), and fixed the zoom cam angle.

Seams weird all the art department did was fix some sleeves,lol.

One thing that eerks me is misinformed or lying posters talking out their a$$. This is a GREAT example of a poster deliberately trying to make madden look worse than what it is, trying to bash it in a stealthy manner...aka stealth troll.

You say Madden 13 sales have nearly stopped but yet last weekly sales reports for Madden 13 were around 125,000 from Sept 22nd to Sept 29th (just 360/ps3 not counting vita, wii). ...those are not weak numbers by no means for being its 4 or 5 week since release day and also considering Madden's first week sold 1.65 million copies which broke the record for this generation of Madden copies sold this generation of consoles, yet you sit here and try to lie about how bad its doing and how the majority of consumers dislike it. You base this from what? This forum after its been released? The majority that is left here are disgruntled trolls and us hardcore gamers left trying to give input to help with patches...the rest of the users are done with these forums and wont be back until pre-release madden 14 time frame. You cant even figure that out...

You say nearly all consumers were unhappy with madden but the sales reports above prove you absolutely wrong. Not only that but right here in Operation Sport Forums ran a poll in these madden forums asking who liked and disliked Madden after release day...this poll was posted by the OS Staff about a week or two AFTER madden 13 released. Did you even notice the results? It was like 88% Liked vs 12% disliked madden 13....

Dude, seriously...you just got owned by me with all facts and i did it laying back in bed using one hand on my Ipad2 while my other hand sipping on a 7-up with a straw lol

PS Nah seriously i dont know if you were trying to troll or not..was just giving you a hard time since you complainers give EA a hard time..just giving you a piece of pie back..thats all. I dont really know what your agenda is or was..but just a bit of advice..you should really make sure you "know" what you are talking about before speaking. This is how people, places, things get bad rep's....most of the time its from lies or people talking about what they do not really know.
