Game plays really great. Much much better now. Do you HAVE to restart a CCM dynasty however...in order for these new settings to work. Or will it work with pre-exisiting?

It looks like you can change your scheme to something new, thank God. I haven't looked for it yet, because it's pretty late. Where can I go to change it in my Online CC? I read there's a scheme menu. Where is this? I want to change from a spread to an attacking 3-4. Thanks guys!

you can change your offensive and defensive schemes in the More...Schemes menu (same place you change player position schemes) First two options are Team O and D but you can't change online until the 19th. Offline is patched now.

Was really hoping that the stadiums with retractable roofs would show the sun reflecting off the grass after this patch, but no.

I was wondering if anyone has the same problem as me, but in my CCM mode, I try to edit a player's equipment (Will Smith), and everyone knows he's a DE. A large DE. So, after I edit his equipment, and go to actual gameplay play, he looks like a scrawny dude who hasnt eaten in weeks. I go back and edit his physical appearance back to normal. Try to play again, and he STILL looks skinny.

Also, this is a minor detail, but I wish they'd fix how the kickoff/playoff/pink ribbon field logos are all facing the wrong direction. I know it's a very minor detail, but am I the only one bothered by this? It seems like this should be an easy fix for EA, and it still isn't fixed

Yes editing players creates stick figures that ruin the game.

Julius Peppers shouldn't look like Steve Urchel.

It was just one game but Dallas threw the ball against me 32 times and only ran the ball 13 times at the start of the 4th quarter.. This was on All-Madden with my black set.. The game was too long with 15 minute quarters so I had to cut it short and I had to take care of something.. The gameplay was good though.. I was impressed with how the CPU was playing for that game... I'm definitely looking forward to getting some more games in..

Would it hurt the CPU for once to attempt a kickoff return just three yards into the end zone? It's the same whether the returner is Devin Hester or Josh Cribbs. Not sure if this can be patched.

good stuff will try

I thought this update was including the ability to control multiple teams, such as 32-team control. I'm not seeing it.

Late game AI is still terrible. How can EA defend this? How can it be this bad after producing video game football for over 20 years? The cpu (Tom Brady) was losing by 6 with 18 seconds left and no time outs and they choose to run the ball from my 40. They actually got 20 yards and spiked the ball with 2 seconds left. So what do they do from just inside my 20 with only two seconds left? Bring out a 3 TE, 1 WR formation to run the ball of course. It’s beyond absurd.

Dammit.

I wonder, does the NFL know about all this stuff wrong with the game? Do they actually check the quality of product? You think they would, or at least you think they'd want to. This game is in their name. It represents them. For a league that seems to care so much about image and reputation, you'd think they'd be on top of this to a certain degree.

And look, I know these games can't be perfect, but Madden has been behind the curve for so long now. Maybe it's time for someone to grab the NFL's attention and say, um... Ya know, you might wanna check this out...

Ignore the bogus reviews from game sites, they are BS... Forget about sales numbers, Madden is the only game in town so consumers don't have much of a choice...

Have you actually examined the product for yourself?

I have to think the NFL wouldn't be real pleased if they knew the real story here, and I think we're pretty much at the point where this is just unacceptable. No excuses for this stuff. Time to give someone else a try.

Yeah uhhh yikes, this update was doing nothing toward controlling 32 teams.

I'm sorry to pop anyone's bubble here, but there is no difference in gameplay in CCM. The ai is still terrible

I've noticed a difference in offline CCM with the gameplay. It plays just like play now, but the late game playcalling for the computer is still terrible. The computer runs the ball a lot easier, I have a much more difficult time stopping that than before, where I could constantly shut down the CPU's run game game after game. Now they break multiple yard runs more often than not. So that aspect has definitely been improved.
