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

I'm just getting annoyed as to why I have to keep changing the camera every single game.

No way to change it to standar.... BEFORE a game? Always set on zoomed.

EA needs to start caring about sliders again. They add them to the game but I don't think anyone tests them or listens to those that do care. The pass reaction slider remains broken and after this last patch the human running game is overpowered. The sliders are so weak that I'm now using human run block at 0 and cpu block shedding at 100 on All-Pro. Cranking up the sliders should have a far great effect than it does. Moving one of those sliders 10 points does almost nothing. And special teams sliders need to be split between human and cpu. I'd love to see a few more sliders added and the ones they do have work better.

Honestly this would go a long way in silencing a good number of the complaints the sim-minded players have.

We get that EA isn't going to make the game realistic out of the box because they don't want to frustrate the "casuals". That's fine. Give the "hardcore" players the tools to tune the game. We'll do the heavy lifting. Tendencies, performance and penalty sliders that REALLY work could address an astounding percentage of the complaints that are out there.

but Post Patch impression....adding a QB that will not scramble is a game-breaker. No one can say I didn't give M13 an honest and earnest tryout. M13 back into the case and Head Coach 09 retakes permanent residence in my PS3 again. :\ I shouldn't be disappointed because HC is such a great game...but I am.

Even if the QB did scramble, you are not going to get elite QBs like Rodgers passing realistically. The Coach Mode On needs lots more than just the ability to scramble automatically.

Are you sure they don't scramble? I had Aaron Rodgers scramble twice against me in one game. I haven't seen much of it but I haven't played many scrambling type QBs either. I do wonder if their player tendencies are working right this year.

CPU QBs will scramble against you! He was saying his QB doesn't scramble, user QB with Coach Mode On, and they just stand there like robots waiting to be crushed.

Is anyone else having freezing issues since the patch? Ever since the patch I can not even get to the coin toss before the game freezes. Any suggestions?

I'm still here, reading and reporting to our team. I will be back to discuss when I catch up on all the activity.

Any word if there will be another update to offline CCM issues?

We are looking into it as well as some gameplay issues. I will report back when I know more.

Welcome back.

Do you know anything more about coach mode or report back when you know more?

Seems there was a misunderstanding between some posters vs EA about what coach would be implemented.

Some posters thought it was confirmed that coach mode would be similar to NCAA and when coach mode appeared in the patch, it was similar to prior coach mode's in Madden.

Welcome back, Emmdot!

Could you get the devs to take a second look at the auto-subs in CCM? I've spent 5 hours to try and get them to work. It's the last thing I need after the guys found out how to fix the CPU play calling!

Thanks!

I would rather you didnt change offline editing . I can deal with the problems on my own. As far as gameplay I would leave it alone since i have no confidence that another patch wont mess things up.I say move on to 14 get that game correct since every change EA is making is making the game worse and not even addressing the major faults anyway.

You also said a couple weeks ago that you would report back on the play calling tendencies and you never did. We're still waiting to see if EA is going to make the pass reaction slider actually do something as well. It's clear that you guys do know more but pick and choose what you guys comment on. I can understand limiting some of the things you talk about but if you do promise to report back I think it's only fair that you actually do.

Post #700 in response to post #695 about play calling tendencies

Currently my biggest issues are:

(1) The CPU gameplanning/No custom playbooks/gameplans in CCM.

It's been investigated pretty extensively in this thread and figured out that the problem with CPU playcalling is likely due to the fact that almost all teams have running plays 4-starred and passing plays half-starred resulting in very run-heavy playcalling.

Another thing in terms of playbooks/gameplanning, I don't think it'll be possible until M14 but stretching out the situations to allow for 30-40 plays as opposed to 20 would add a lot. I haven't looked into it, but I think currently the limited slots results in the potential for a lot of plays in the playbook to never be called by the CPU because they're not placed in any gameplan situation.

(2) CCM Auto-Subs
