32 team control

[FightForIowa]

With the upcoming patch will i now have the option to control all 32 teams like previous titles? I just want to make sure i'm understanding it correctly.

I'm also a little blind...Has it been mentioned anywhere fixing the issue with assisted tackling?

Thanks for the help.

Re: 32 team control

32 Team Control will not be in the game, and the same can be said about Assisted Tackles. It's under assumption that with the Physics System, a proper Assisted Tackling stat isn't possible.

What does this mean than?

Offline Play Along in Connected Careers: Added the ability for multiple people to join a CCM game. This applies to coaches only.

You can have up to four people playing on the same team at once. Offline Team Play.

This is a huge deal because i like to keep things as close to real life as possible, if i want a fantasy season, i would hold a fantasy draft, hopefully they patch this soon.

Okay, since I won't be adding more garbage to the patch thread, I'll ask this here.

Why do you people want to be able to control all 32 teams in CCM? You've even stated that you want to match the NFL as closely as possible.

It is career mode, your game is based on what happens in your game, not the NFL (that's called Fantasy football, if you guys didn't know about that, try it, it's fun and based on what actually happens in the NFL each week) so what do you do when you get to year 2 of your career? Wait until the next real football season happens before you play the game again?

I understand wanting to control more than one team if you have a brother/friend/roommate and want to play separate franchises in the game. That is cool, I like that, but I don't understand you people that want to control all 32 teams?

Will one (or more) of you that control all 32 teams, please tell me why you do it? I'm serious, not bashing or anything, I just can't figure out why people are screaming so much for this in career mode since everything is new and different (think parallel universe) from the actual NFL as soon as you start your career.

Thank you in advance, those that answer.

I have always enjoyed using all 32 teams for multiple reasons. First and foremost, the way I play Madden is this, I play every game of the season, even keeping track of what teams wear what uni's/throwbacks etc. each week. This enables me to keep equipment, depth charts, trades, everything I need to keep my own Madden experience as close to real life as possible.
I don't play the game for multiple year franchises, I play it to keep it as close to the current NFL season as I can. Another huge reward to playing this way is that the stats you check on are real, not simmed. By week 10, knowing all the accumulated stats are actually real is awesome, I don't rely on simmed stats for anything. I experience every down of the season.
Not to mention playoff games mean so much more when the teams records aren't simmed by a cpu formula, the teams have earned the right to play in playoff games.

Hopefully this sheds some light on why at least one person out there relishes the ability to control 32 teams.

Okay, interesting, sort of a sandbox mode for the NFL where you can experiment each week and perhaps predict the games.

But what do you mean by the stats are real and not simmed (i know play modes) but do you mean the stats match the NFL? How did you do that or do you just mean that they are real because you played the games?

Also, do you keep replaying each game of the week until the team that won irl wins in your franchise?

Thanks for the answer. Like I said, I wasn't knocking anyone, I just find it amazing how many different ways people play Madden. No wonder EA has such a hard time :\

Re: 32 team control

I use 32 team control like this, set all teams rosters as accurate as I can, then play each and every game through the season, picking teams by coin flip, tails is home, heads is visitor. I usually get through 4 or 5 seasons before I switch to MLB in march, in year one last year in madden 12 the rams beat bengals in Super Bowl lol

Re: 32 team control

What i do is pick a team play through out the season each and every game of that teams season and take them as far as i can, then after that i pick a different team to play with, it's not un so like the old Tecmo bowl game. It's just the way i choose to play Madden and it sucks because every year but this one you could do that, i just don't understand why it's not there, i'm holding out hope maybe it will yet.

I doubt it happens, seems like that may be too big a update to make

[statsdon]

How i play is i play what games i see on tv and sim the winners of that week. I would play every game but i just dont have the time. By the end, my season mirrors rl win-loss records. I do the same for playoff games and superbowl. I then go thru the whole offseason doing the coach changes, free agents and draft using imports from ncaa for that year. I keep everything as close as humanly possible to the real NFL. Then i play the preseason games which gets my ready for the next madden release.

I mean the stats are real because I played the games. I don't care if the results of the games don't match real life, the depth charts, equipment, etc. are true to real life NFL, the results of the played games are all mine.

Re: 32 team control

I've always looked at 32 team control as more of a necessity than a luxury. It gives the ability to put players in positions where the CPU just won't. Like TE's as 3rd and 4th WR's. Or the proper 3rd down back. Or in some cases switch the sides of CPU controlled DE's and OLB so the correct one can get pressure. Put RBs at 4th and 5th WR so they get some catches, or mess with defensive backfields so that safetys come in as 4th and 5th CBs instead of horrible rated corners. Theres a whole bunch more, but I'm tired and Texas is losing. Lets not forget being able to control Coaching tendencies and schemes so they are correct....ish. Then there's the horrific drafting and FA that can be corrected by making picks and signings for each team.
