Happened to me too. What I did was just sign out of my PSN account and then sign back in (did both while system was on) and I turned the game back on and it's worked since.

For those having issues with the depth chart reordering itself, I have done some testing and believe I have found the culprit.

If you participate in or even simulate practice in your CCM, the depth chart will reorder itself. The only way to stop this from happening is to ignore the practice function altogether.

This is completely untrue, I have noticed recently some of you guys are posting nonfactual information. I posted about 5-6 pages back about the depth chart reordering issue. I play practice every week and all of my changes to the depth chart have stuck using a custom roster in Offline CCM. Every time I make a change to my depth chart I save inside the depth chart menu and then again once I exit the depth chart menu and the changes have stuck.

I suspect picking up free agent or trading for players may have something to do with the depth chart reordering itself but I haven't tested that theory out yet.

From my personal experience, my information is 100% correct. Feel free to disagree with me all you want, but I'm putting the information out there so that it can hopefully help someone else having the issue.

The problem is that you said it was because of practice and it is not. My depth chart is not reordering at all and I am on my 2nd week of preseason now having played both the game and practice.

From what I can tell from the posts, it seems that people that imported a roster get stuck with the reorder bug. Did you use a custom roster?

oh you are using a custom roster and not resetting? hmm, welll there goes that theory. I'm not using a custom roster and I do not get a reset either...hmmm, more data to ponder.

You know though, I think I always do save while I'm still in the depth chart, I mean why wouldn't you, I always do it because my depth chart is so much work I'd hate to lose it, so any game i've ever played I aways save my depth chart often while i'm working on it, so maybe you are on to something there...

After trying ABR's method, it does work also. I think that as long as you save while still in the depth chart menu, everything will stick.

For those who don't practice anyway (Allen Iverson anyone?), or don't plan on saving in the depth chart menu, my method also works.

In offline CCM, I stopped caring about my depth chart out of games. For some wonky reason once you start a game player overalls are different anyway - so I just auto reorder in-game.

Gameplans still suck, Patriots passing 4 times and running 11 times so far...

Have you seen the patriots this year? A lot more runs than usual.

Also i think people seem to be forgetting that in this so called "pass heavy" league, teams are now exploiting dime/nickle packages with lots of draws and sweeps.

You are correct in that assertion but you have to admit that overall the Patriots are still passing more than they run. Also if you look at the Saints or Packers, they are also running much more than they pass which isn't even close to their true pass/run ratio based on the stats you see for the 2011 season.

The playcalling is still messed up in this game. Too many runs on 1st and 2nd down when the game is tied or you are up only 3. What the patch did change is if you're up 7 then the CPU teams become a 50/50 pass run team and you are up by 14 maybe a 55/45 pass/run ratio for the CPU when trying to catch up. Problem is this is the same for every team.

The saving grace is if the second controller method works for offline CCM, we should be able to create custom playbooks for each CPU team you play against which would allow us to give the CPU more accurate pass run ratios. We shouldn't have to go to this extreme of a stretch but we'll have to do it for now.

My first game post patch

With Aaron Rodgers I threw nine (9!) Picks. The DB's especially the linebackers had some awfully quick reaction times. Throws I used to make were easily picked off. 3 were off receiver drops though.
In CCM when using a custom roster all the xp gains are reset to the way they were pre Madden roster update. So by using a custom roster you see less xp gains just like in the default rosters.

This is on All-pro.

If you paid any attention to what they said before they released Madden, they said they removed these features because they would not work properly. People bitched and complained, so they put it out and oh, what is this? It doesn't work properly?

We knew about it months before hand that it wasn't going to be in the game for that exact reason.

It's not my fault you didn't pay attention to news about the game before it was released.

I approve this message. Spot on

This Isnt 2011. Teams play today, 2012, and every previous year based on the their strengths and weaknesses and the score of the game and so forth. So just because by the end of the season they passed 60% of the time doesn't mean they did it every game.

Still playing just "Play Now" games on PS3, but the game feels more polished to me now. I don't know, maybe it's a placebo thing. I've been having a lot of fun though, and I'm finally looking forward to get my dynasty going.

Another thing that may just be placebo, but I've been putting teams in their 2011 uniforms and the colors just seem to pop more, if that makes sense.

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

I read that players (not just the coach) can receive XP for what they do in practice. I ran a full practice in pre-season to test this and noticed no significant XP given to my players, including one that had two defensive TD's. Does anyone know if this was simply a false rumor, or am I just missing something?
