I apologize if this has been answered on previous page.....I made it through 22 pages before giving up because my phone is dying lol. I can't seem to get my schemes to stay set the way I want them? I am in year 4 of my current ccm and was Hopi.g to keep going in it. Am I going to have to start over to get my coaching schemes to stay put where I want them?

I don't think they need to copy other games necessarily. Football logic isn't too difficult to figure out. Tricky to implement into a game but it can be done if you put the effort into it. But the logic has never been a priority for EA/Madden and I don't see that ever changing. I don't think they've touched that aspect of the game in over a decade. In fact, it feels worse than versions of the game like Madden 01 and Madden 02.

It does kind of suck since I think upgrades to the coaching AI would be huge toward gameplay. It is odd that the game is named after a former NFL coach when the AI coaching is that of my GF who knows next to nothing about football.

except Head Coach

Pats playcalling seems to be trying to find itself.

Week 1: 48 pass, 16 rush
Week 2: 48 pass, 28 rush
Week 3: 41 pass, 34 rush
Week 4: 36 pass, 40 rush
Week 5: 34 pass, 54 (!) rush
Week 6: 58 (!) pass, 26 rush

So they go pass-heavy, then 3 rush-heavy, then air it out again. Week 5, they played Denver - wonder how much of that was trying to keep Peyton off the field? If it was, does the CPU in M13 consider things like that?

Going back to last year, the Pats had 612 pass, 438 rush - 58%, which is still not pass-heavy. It's about average I believe.

However, the real questions are:

-Does this vary by team? If ALL teams are around 48-52% pass, then that's an issue, imo.

-Does it vary by YOUR personnel? Like the possibility of running more than usual to try to keep your elite offense/QB off the field.

-Does it vary when teams get new coaches? Again, if all schemes have similar run/pass ratios for the CPU teams, imo, that's an issue.

have you guys looked at the real Pats playcalling stats the last 3 weeks? from 2 rushers with over 100 yards in one game (and a lot of carries, but I can't be arsed to look it up) to Brady setting his Attempts record yesterday? just sayin' ... these aren't static stats...hee hee static stats

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

Ok, I read back through this entire thread before posting, so I need some clarification.

page 11 post #109

page 14 post #132

So is true coach mode in or not because those two post above seem to imply that it's in. Is it just not in for online yet? I am just trying to get clarity.

@SloeyEZ, the posts I quoted much earlier clearly seem to state there was going to be a true coach mode added, I don't see any ambiguity in what was stated by Dewiel and then confirmed by Emmdotfrisk. Feel free to read them again in the OP of this thread here and point out where you feel something could have been lost in translation. The only thing I could see as being misunderstood is that true coach mode would only be available offline.http://www.operationsports.com/forum...l-you-use.html

I know what you are saying, but I had a feeling what you were calling true coach mode only meant not controlling the QB to the folks you were talking to. And yes, they even said all you have to do is call the plays, but again, I just had a feeling they thought pressing the X button to hike and Kickers & Punters were part of the game of coach mode

Nothing has changed, there is no additional Coach Mode option anywhere besides "My Madden" which I had on, and still just says, "When set to On, the Quarterback will automatically throw the ball if you do not take control after the snap" that's what it says right there under the option.

Sorry Big, I know how much you wanted this as did a lot of us, but it isn't any new functionality, just the "Play Now" option of not controlling your QB is now available in CCM.

Is this a typical Madden thing where the game seems to change speeds in the middle of the play? (visually) almost like it is normal motion/fast/normal motion...almost herky-jerky but not in a graphic way if that makes sense

I don't know if this is normal for the madden series or not?

You will get between 2-5 in a single game. I have played a decent amount and haven't seen more than 5 in one game (14-15 minute qtrs on accel clock 19 seconds).

Not where we wish it would be, but because of the infinity engine, I don't believe they will be tracked properly until future editions.

Hey guys, I transferred the patch from my friend's hard drive to my USB. I know all about the process of getting the file onto my USB, but do I have to have any of the previous patches for this patch to work? This will be my first patch that I will be using for this game. Or can I just use this as the first patch? Thanks
