Coach mode (offline CCM) + Broadcast Cam + Great sliders = LOTS OF FUN, almost to the point of it feeling too realistic.

what are your sliders? i've never been one to use sliders, but i've got all sliders at 45 and i haven't seen anything unusual yet (in a bad way)

also, if you're not controlling anyone, do the human sliders do anything? i'm assuming not, but i'm also thinking it still could affect the human team though....could go either way i guess.

Ok, maybe you guys can help me.

I am in the 3rd season of a CCM mode with myself as the QB.
(1)Are the updates for PS3 - because I do not remember being prompted for an update

(2)When I go to the personnel screen, I see that free agents and depth chart screens are available. However, I cannot sign a free agent or alter my depth charts. Was the update supposed to allow me to make these changes? Do I need to change a setting somewhere?

I have gotten used to CCM, but I hate not being able to make some personnel changes or at least be able to give some input (including the draft)

It's scary bud... I do not want EA to remain the only developer out there that can make these games. My eyes are on this new exclusivity suit taking place. Man, I hope it kills the deal with the NFL

Seriously? Cause me picking up the game may just hinge on the late game AI. Please post again after you have more time into playing games and if you could keep an eye on CPU AI, especially late game.

Thanks

Dude, it's like $2 at RedBox. Give it a whirl yourself.

Yes sir I agree. Redbox has saved me much money on game buying. M13 I bought because it ended up being fun and addictive for me. Even now with the patch, gameplay is still good. One thing I do notice that was updated was the punt returns and kickoffs. The computer actually doesn't move away from the ball.

I also like that when playing offline, in coach ccm, I can use my created player in the coach career mode. I just imported my custom roster when prompt. That part of the patch as far as rosters, I appreciate. Only editing part I like is changing the numbers on certain players.

Actually, I do. They should have stuck to their guns. They are the developers, they know their timeline and what they want with the feature.

They should know people are going to push for what they want. If it ain't ready yet, keep saying it. The answer they gave the first time was good - "It's not ready yet. It will be in when we feel it's ready for prime time."

Putting something out that's not ready, that's even worse judgement, even if it was to appease the community (since the bugs are going to do anything but appease).

I'm not a M13 defender - I'm probably considered one of those "complainers" someone else talked about, but that first answer was perfect and they should have stuck with it. Rushing it out didn't turn out well evidently.

Well, they did rush CCM out. CCM wasn't ready either.

kinda pissed that i cant move my de's to olb and vice versa. what is the point in switching sides when i can do that anyway on the depth chart. i got bruce irvin for the ravens and have been wanting to move his position to olb so that way i could cut a lower tier olb to sign a backup run stopping de to back up ngata

That pissed me off too. I wanted to switch my 3-4 D to 4-3. I'm using the Chargers so I wanted to move my DE's to DT's and my OLB's to DE's. Also I picked up Alex Mack and wanted to move my center to LG. It's not like this does not happen in the nfl look at the Colts Freeny and Mathis were DE's in a 4-3 now LB's in the 3-4. Look at the Steelers Legursky plays G and C when Pouncey is out. I went to buy the game when I herd we would be able to edit guys. Befor that I rented it found I couldnt play offlline franchise the way it was and sent it back.

WOW!

I just downloaded this patch, restarted an offline CCM, and man... what a difference. Madden 12 is going to have a hard time staying in my XBOX. CCM game play feels excellent. The sliders work guys, CPU play calling logic is better, fatigue and auto subs work.

There are a few disappointments though. You can only select your teams uniforms and can't watch CPU vs CPU games.

As one of Madden 13's harshest critics, I can tell you that this patch made a vast improvement. I only played one game, and may see differently after a few more, but right now... just WOW!

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

quick question, is the play calling in ccm still different from play now after title update #3?

[Cavicchi]

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

The Depth Chart is still wacky with starters also as second string backups.

Same old coach mode with same results, such as Rodgers throwing ball over crossbar--and he was not trying for a field goal.

Man coverage still looks bad to me.

Freezing has occurred looking at Depth Chart--more than once.

Game sliders are not the same as in Play Now.

I can't return the game because it was purchased as a download. But, I am done playing/wasting my time with it.

From my experience, yes. Did a quick play now yesterday with the Lions (Me) vs. Packers (CPU) with 15 min quarters, normal speed. After the first quarter, the Packers ran 11 running plays and only 7 passes with them leading 3-0. I get the complete opposite result vs pass heavy teams in Online CCM.

Anyone know how to download the new patch? my system didn't do it automatically and now the game freezes every time during the loading screen before the game.

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

Game is better the one thing I do like is that the physics are more like the demo. No more pinball garbage like after the second patch. Could not stand all of the (this game is tightened up talk) Game plays better but is not at the lvl of fifa or 2k. Little things hold the game back.

Late game ai has been pretty good for me and pass heavy teams are playing well. Hope this game keeps my interest for a few months. With fifa and 2k don't know if it will. Sucks it took so long for the patch. Overall think they did a good job with it though and feel madden is on the road to recovery.
