In my offline CCM undrafted rookies appear in the free agent list following the draft until the end of preseason. I've found they don't appear under "All" but do appear when you look at individual positions. I usually go through each position and sort by age to see who is available. I've picked up a couple of 99 speed guys that went undrafted via this process.

So is CPU vs CPU possible in CCM now along with broadcast camera? Like spectate mode I think it's called?

Not coach mode where you have to pick the plays.

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

Numerous fixes were made to address freezing at various points throughout the game.

@ 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.

#1. I don't think Custom Playbooks will make it in this year but the team wants to apply them to Connected Careers because it is an integral piece of being a "coach."

#2. Let me check with Josh and the team to hear their thoughts on this.

#3. I agree. OL/DL is long awaited and everyone in the studio knows its an issue.

Emmdot, thank you for being so involved

My question has nothing to do with the patch but is there a good chance that we will have special teams depth chart AND ratings next year? It'd be nice for guys like matthew slater to be impacts on special teams and actually have a purpose in madden

Any word on the press coverage glitch on the left of screen corners on PS3? I understand its fixed in online CCM.

I have been pushing for an advanced depth chart over at the Game Changers Ideas site. Only time will tell. Sorry I don't have anymore information about it.

Thanks for posting these Bob.

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

Raymond has his eyes on Stafford the entire time. Once Stafford releases the ball, with Raymond still watching so he knows where the ball is going at this point, he still turns and runs with the wrong receiver.

It wouldn't be a problem if Raymond wasn't staring Stafford down, but the fact that he should know exactly where the ball is going because he's waiting for Stafford to make the first move is what, IMO, makes this a huge problem.

Raymond should of broke to the outside of the receiver since he was watching Stafford until he released the ball.

Frisk,

Please communicate to them the desire to have a formation substitutions feature like in the past. The current in-game variant is limited. This would enable people to set their special teams rosters anyway they choose, strategically create defensive lineman rotations etc etc.

Thanks.

Can you tell us if we'll have more depth chart flexibility with the update? For example, the Chiefs LS is listed as a TE on the depth chart, but once you start a CC you can only use guards and centers as long snappers.

There seems to be a user glitch where wr and db are in position for catch but no animation kicks in they just come to a full stop or ball smacks guy in face or hands ..Frisk any idea within the patch this gets fixed

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

This is for online and offline CCM?

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

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.

Just another reason why the decision to combine the online and offline modes was a bad one. Why everything from offline to online and superstar to franchise had to be combined into one mode still doesn't make sense to me. Seriously, how many people are out there running superstar mode and a coach within a franchise?

And if I play offline why can't I do whatever I want? It's my game that I paid $60 for. Whatever I do doesn't affect anyone else. Heck, I couldn't even use my last name because it was too close to a filtered word.

Dude, I gotta say this is a pretty big misstep.
Position changes happen all the time, ESPECIALLY from OLB to DE and CB to SS/FS and vice versa for the former and the latter.
Not to mention if you are going to have Trey, during the draft, talk about how a rookie DE may project better as an OLB... I mean, c'mon.
