Sorry if a dumb question, but can this patch be downloaded without a GOLD LIVE account? I no longer have LIVE ... and not willing to spend the $60 on LIVE just to get game fixes that should be included with the game when purchased new!

Re: Madden NFL 13 Title Update #3 Available Now, Post Your Impressions (360, PS3)

I started a new CCM post-patch, simmed through the first season and went through the Off-Season. I was really excited to have a new O-Line with two good drafted guards all set to go when I go into my first game and find out both Guards are stuck having skinny arms, thin bodies and stick legs.

I tried to see if it was just for that drive but it wasn't. Tried to see if it was just that game but it wasn't. They looked the same in practice as well. Edited both guys to have as large a body as possible in the edit menu but nothing changed. They look normal in the edit menu but they're stick figures in the game.

I then traded one of the guards for another decent rookie guard and the same thing happened to him.

Anyone have any insights on this? Has it been happening before patch? Do you think it's just my CCM itself being glitched up? I'm playing off-line on the 360 for the matter.

It's frustrating when I've been looking forward to this CCM since the patch was announced and now it's being ruined by one minor appearance glitch. Gah.

Is anyone else having this issue? No matter what roster I pick offline or online every single offensive lineman has 0 arms. I mean tiny arms. Am I going to have to fix them all?

What about assisted tackles? Do these register now?

I just downloaded the patch on 360. I am in the off-season after three seasons into my CC, and when I go to edit my players, it still does not allow me the option to change their position (e.g. move one of my corners to FS, tackle to guard, etc.). I thought this was part of the patch. Any info would be appreciated.

Not surprising.

I was waiting (while Sony undergoes maintenance....) to see what would be messed up with the new "fixes".

Someone posted earlier about this type of edit problem in NCAA where RBs would have skinny stick arms. Sounds like it has replicated itself here in Madden.

You can only change position if it's swappable (.e.g LE to RE, LG to RG).

No TE to WR or FB to HB or CB to FS

Just to confirm you need to set your setting to this? Meaning if I want a coach mode only CCM i need to count on all the owners making this a personal setting and not a league wide setting?

I guess I was hoping when I created a CMM the choice to make it coach mode only was there.

That's a good question. When I set my "test league" up, I put myself as the only member. I know in NCAA, the commisioner set the league rules and settings, and it automatically set them for all the coaches who joined the league. I'm going to assume that the same is true for Madden, since the league is essentially being created by the commisioner, and therefore, the rules and settings he/she creates should stand for everyone else too, since they are joining the commisioner's league.

I've only played Practice on All-Madden about 10 times today.
What I've noticed:
WR are still dropping TONS of wide open passes.
Seems to be A LOT more fumbles
Kick Returns seem to be easy again.

In Online CCM, I don't see where I can change my coaches schemes.

Looks like this is a nice new bug introduced by the patch.

Tiny armed Madden is here to stay!

Shouldn't you be able to edit your player to look how you want with the new patch?

Re: Madden NFL 13 Title Update #3 Available Now, Post Your Impressions (360, PS3)

Just started up a new offline ccm a couple hours ago. Looks like I'm going to have to start re-adjusting the sliders I worked so hard on for the past 4-5 weeks lol. It was just a pre-season game, but I've never had 2 guys gain well over a 100 yards on the ground in a game against me. They were just breaking everything and the run blocking was spectacular, wide open lanes everywhere. My slider set does favor the CPU's running ability, so I just have to start tweaking there.
Its great to see that they're running. I know it was just 1 game, but CPU has never ran like that, so its not me over-reacting to a new patch there. I'll keep playing a few more games and hopefully I can tweak my sliders enough today to make it challenging.

Small arms on both online and offline ccm?

You can. My problem is that even if I go in a offline CCM with a custom roster all my linemen on every team have tiny arms. It's fixable it will take forever tho.
