Saints (CPU) vs. Bills

- Saints had 13 rushes vs. 9 passes in the first half....Not happy about this. Looks like the playcall logic is not adjusted but as long as I can add a custom playbook to the CPU team during CCM offline Ill be alright.

After all of these issues, I'm not too excited about next year's offering of Madden....

Here could prove an issue in play calling by the CPU, though need a bigger test with the Saints....

Currently the Saints, this year, have attempted 236 passes, with only 96 run attempts....

Just to have some pictorial evidence, here are some photos of the dis-proportioned linemen I'm seeing. Maybe they're not exactly stick arms and legs anymore, but they're still much thinner than should be. Sorry about the quality, I don't have anything to capture the game with other than a crappy camera, but you get the gist of it.

The first three are pictures from inside the game and then the last is what the players should look like and does in the edit menu.









I also noticed that the FB I drafted had slim legs as well but I edited him up and he did keep the changes, so it's just the two guards that are acting wonky.

Was waiting for this patch before deciding to buy the game or not.

(Drumroll please...) nope not going to buy. EA you little devils you almost had me again!

As I've looked more at it, I've found out that the tiny linemen glitch is most definitely caused by editing the O-Linemen.

I just went into the edit menu of Tyron Smith, didn't edit anything, exited and sure enough get to the game and he's just like my two drafted guards. So it's not a draft issue or player issue, it's an edit issue.

I would think it'd be best to put a warning out there to not attempt to edit any offensive linemen for fear of the glitch showing up. Once you enter the edit menu for offensive linemen, it somehow automatically resets their appearance traits to 0 and you can't change them back.

It has happened to me in both online and offline CCMs. So beware, I suppose.

Actually, I need more than just a few games myself.

Just giving initial impressions.

Played a full game 12 minute quarters Niners vs Packers.

Niners had 15 passes to 29 rushes.

First game in real life, Niners had 32 rushes and 20 passes.

Not too bad.

I don't understand what this proves? The issue is that the run/pass ratio works the same way for all the teams. To see if this issue is fixed play the Packers, Saints or Patriots and see if they run the ball as much as they pass. There is no reason it should be 50-50 or above.

I played the Pats as the Jets just fussing around and they ran the ball far too much post patch just as before the patch.

I understand people wanting to be optimistic. I have a theory that the Run/Pass ratio is indentical for every team, and that the only thing that controls it is the CPU and USER current score of the game. If you are winning the CPU will throw more. If you are winning all four quarters then the CPU will probably have a much better looking run/pass ratio. However if you are tied or are losing to the CPU they do not throw the ball enough. That is my take on it I am hoping to see the Saints Packers and Pats be pass heavy but I am very cautious in my optimism. You really need to play vs one of those teams to test the logic.

The best solution would be to have every team use a different run/pass ratio logic built in based on the 2012 real life run/pass ratio stats. If that isnt possible then the next best thing would be to raise the pass side and make it more 60-40 rather than the current 50-50 and below

[Nickda55]

In CCM when you put your difficulty on all madden do user sliders still stay at 50?

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

I don't know if I'm the only this happens to...

In Offline CCM it completely changes my depth chart after each and every practice...

Lasson I had this same issued and was still trying to figure out what triggered this. So you have confirmed that every time you play a practice in auto orders your depth chart? Can you confirm if this is happening only in preseason or are you in regular season?

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

Well the arm glitch means I'm just gonna play 2k for now..too big off a headache

Because I'm gonna wanna bring a custom roster in..right now players have skinny arms in edit but not on field

But if I change their equip do I need to give them right arm size or what

And I don't wanna play a year and draft a o lineman who will look like a twig on the field

Get it together ea madden has yet to bring me any pleasure

This probably why EA didn't have editing in the first time around then knew it was flawed..

Actually, the Packers passed 39 times last night and rushed 31 times. They are trying to be more balanced with the running game this year.

A few people asked me to do run/pass ratios, so, that's what I did. I played a game and gave them the outcome.

Also, people were complaining pre-patch that the cpu did run run pass. I didn't see that in the game I played.

I agree the play calling is tied into the score.

Equipment edit or ratings edit? Both?

But again, there is not a coach mode it is simply not having to pass, and you do still have to do your own kicks also.

Thats disappointing considering 2 reps said that it was just call the plays and watch. I should of known better than to get my hopes up.

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

Roadman, from what you've played so far post patch is the game more competitive in CCM? That was really my only issue with that mode, just too easy....if that's been rectified, I will be satisfied
