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

I talked with EA this morning and confirmed that the October 16th patch will include Franchise Mode to play with multiple teams in any given season (offline) and u can also use your custom roster in it... They have heard all the complaints from the "OLD HEADS" (30+ gamers) and they will add the option back.

I am so happy EA decided to grant the true gamers their wish. Thank you EA. Tuesday (October 16th) can't come fast enough. I brought Madden13 and refuse to play it till they patch up the "mess-ups" so i've been updating my Madden12 rosters and playing it. I am so excited!!!

Thanks again!!

This is exciting news if true, but I am very skeptical of it at this point.

thats great did they say u can watch cpu vs cpu in offline ccm like madden 12 i hope u can

I don't mean to be skeptical, but who exactly did you talk to at EA. I don't think I would believe it unless it came from Josh Looman or another developer.

Sweet Jesus they hit a grand slam with this one!

Lets keep it real here people...They charged full price for a disaster of a game experience rendering the game unplayable at times, which means broke. If they didn't fix this, at the worst there could have been the possibility of another lawsuit. Grand Slam this is not. This is them covering their collective asses and bottom line in an effort to retain an abandoning customer base by trying to plug the leaks of a sinking ship that will because of this upcoming patch may float till next year.

Before all the emoticon worship remember they failed to deliver as expected. This is to smooth things over from the initial feeling of rip-off they caused you to feel to begin with in the hopes you return next year for another round of chaffing.

So good for US. Power to the people, not the Devs because they got paid. Were still waiting for delivery. So here's to Oct 16th, nearly 2 months later.

Most of these "issues" are NOT things they failed to deliver--they are things that they told us wouldn't be in the game at all.

Will I have to start a new CCM after the patch drops to have all the changes or will the patch affect my current CCM?

[SECElit3]

Sucks because I will be at MedTrade for the majority of next week and I won't get to play. However, the impressions should be a good read to tide me over.

KBLover - that list is impressive but I doubt we'll see all that in the game next year or even in five years. I still see the LE bug where they get the vast majority of sacks. Team tendencies aren't working in the game and I really fear EA did not fix that in this upcoming patch. I won't be holding my breath.

Maybe not, but I don't think removing the rating is the answer, and that's what I was trying to get at with my post.

It's still needed unless we want even more ratings, imo. I think the bigger problem is that it's not being used to it's full potential. Removing it would just give us more of what we have or existing ratings then getting "hodgepodge" treatment that combines mental and physical ability together.

Hate to burst your emoticon bubble, but

1) They told us in June those items weren't in the game
2) 6 weeks is normal patch time for a sports game.

No, you will not need to restart CCM.

So you take the time to berate him but can't answer the question? If you're bothered by repeated questions just ignore it. I'll never understand this mentality when we are all here for the same reason.

Thanks Roadman for answering the question.

As much as I agree with you, it does take less time to simply use the "search this thread" feature than ask the question and wait for it to get answered. I'll never get the mentality of those people, either.

I've read all 914 posts in this thread...and I'm pretty certain I'm straight on restarting CCM and controlling all 32 teams. I also understand that OLB can't move to DE, but ROLB can move to LOLB, as examples. I also get that position impacts a lot of dynamic things, so it's not as easy as it seems to build more position changing in.

For me, the ability to switch positions is an issue because of roster requirements. I'd be fine with having 1 OG and 5 OTs and managing my line through the depth chart if I could play a game with only a single guard on the roster. I'd prefer to carry 3 TEs and have one of them play the FB role where needed, but I have to have a FB. Trying to meet roster requirements while being limited to 53 players and being unable to edit a position...no.

I realize minimums stop craziness and assist people who don't know any better, but obviously a player's traits already affects their fit in the depth chart in a scheme...why not let people put Fasano at FB and free up a spot for LB depth? No need to change position...just a depth chart change with options limited as they are now (DT not available to sub at WR, etc.).

Where have you read we will be able to control all 32 teams?

[NateDogPack12]

Don't get your hopes up about 32 team control folks. I had an EA service rep tell me the custom playbook bugs were a sure fire fix via patch last year. EA's mouth doesn't know what the *** is doing from one minute to the next. There's a reason this company is regarded as one of the most inept in America via consumer reviews.

Point is, if there was 32 team control, they'd be shouting it from the peaks right now.
