It's not just zone play. I've seen it in man coverage as well. I doubt this can be fixed in a patch.

Any idea if something is being done about the issue that's causing a lot of peoples PS3 to double beep and have to restore when trying to leave out of Madden?

Also will any of the stability fixes fix the issue with bluetooth headsets not working properly with the game?

@ bigbob
In your first video, assuming its a cover 2 zone, your lb is playing correctly, as he is coming down to cover what appears to be a back out of the backfield on a curl, if anything the safety is not making the correct play. Its hard to tell but it looks like you may have shaded zones to the middle since cover 2 has the safeties widening out at the snap.
In your second video, the safety is playing correctly, hes playing the deeper threat on his side of the field.
The third video I'm not sure whats going on there, one of two possibilities, given that DBs and WRs now have essentially a "vision cone", he "forgets" the middle receiver when he turns his attention to the outside receiver. The other possibility, since its the same safety making these mistakes perhaps its his awareness etc. I'm not familiar with the vikings depth chart so I cant be certain on this. Take it for what its worth but without knowing the play call and any adjustments it purely speculation.

The problem isn't they don't have the capabilities to do it. The problem is they don't want people online exploiting this to meet certain goals with players and then switch their position back once they rack up the XP.

Would this actually be a problem though? The goals and rewards for the positions that you'd actually switch are pretty similar. Like are they afraid people are going to put Calvin Johnson at LB and run nanos with him to get sack goals?

Who cares? I guess they could make XP use it or lose it before switching positions, but you can still upgrade most of the same stats anyway, right?

Anyway, in my opinion it's not worth leaving out a basic thing that happens regularly in the NFL like switching a player's position in order to stop a few people from doing ridiculous things to gain a little extra EXP.

Zone defenses do need some tweaking; they are not being run correctly....I believe there is a big issue with the purple zones too....

Why not do it like NCAA and give us an offseason stage to change player positions?

**I_Tyler_Durden_I** · 10-10-2012, 01:49 PM

If it is that they were able to do, it is close to be called a joke. Changing positions in a custom roster file should no problem at all. There is no problem at al, because what can you exploit at this time? Nothing! After starting your CC it could be a bigger thing to do. But to be honest, I do not see that big of a problem. Changing an T to C shouldn't change the goals that much. Same thing with DE and OLB. The other thing they mentioned was productivity. As I know, this value is zero from the start of a players carrer and gets higher based on some stats. I guess different stats are rated higher then others (A DE is likely more productiv when his sack stats are high and a CB will be more productive if he has a lot of INTs). So if a player changes his position, take a look at his stats and recalculate the value based on the stats regarding his knew position.
I would say it is more a problem of how the code works (or does not work), than a design problem.

You can actually do this.

LE to RE
LG to RG
LT to RT
LOLB to ROLB

You just can't make change like:

OLB to DE
FS to CB

I personally won't wait any longer for patch #4. If the play calling is the same I'm dumping it for NBA 2K13. Tired of waiting and apathy is setting in. I'm with J-Unit, DetroitStyle and everyone else on this.

Thanks for the feedback on this guys. I will pass this on to the team. I agree playcalling is important.

On play number 2 what would you like to see? This one is tough to evaluate because you are in a cover 2 sink defense and the deep third is being attacked by two WR's

You can flip positions (LE to RE, ROLB to LOLB) but you cannot change positions (ROLB to DE, FS to CB).

So will this also fix the freezing problem when you're on the edit player screen? My game locks up everytime i start editing the roster

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

@ emmdot
First off just wanna say your presence here is much appreciated, its nice to know someone is listening. Got a few questions for you if you dont mind.
#1. What is the likely hood of custom playbooks in CCM? ie. 50% chance, 90%, snowballs chance in hell?
#2. What about undrafted rookie free agents, at present they just seem to disappear after the draft? Along these lines it would be nice if there was a couple diamonds among these guys, how else are you gonna have a John Randle, Brian Waters, Wes Welker etc.
#3. I know this wont happen this year, but please, for the love of god, can we do something about the O/D line, especially the psychic O-line. I'll probably get flamed for this but I'd actually give up hot routes if we could get a fair playcall system. Stock blitzes wouldnt need adjustments if the O-line didnt already know where the heat was coming from.

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

In regards to the 3 zone videos presented - I believe in Video number 2, cover corner #24 should have followed a receiver, even though the WR left his zone, there was not enough deep support for the 2 WR's going deep, so the shallow corner #24, should have taken one of the WR's going deep....Thus giving up the flat pass to cover the more dangerous deep routes.....

b So cideo 2 shows a lack of priority coverage, thus leaving a single saftey to try and cover two WR's, and #24 covering nothing....

I understand to beat a zone you wanna flood the zone...But these zones are too easy to beat even with a lot of M2M beating routes....

Also, using the curl-flat zone against a curl-flat pass combination gets beat deep if you do not have another defender covering the flat - if you only have a curl-flat zone the defender going into the curl-flat zone has a tendency to check the flat first, leaving the deeper curl open...The curl flat zone defender zone only focus on the curl flat zone and not check the flat receiver....IMO
