How can I tell if I actually have the patch? I mean, I downloaded it, but I don't see a big difference in the CPU play calling. Against the Saints, Brees through 33 times and Sproles carried 27. Against the Bengals Green-Ellis had 30 carries to 17 throws for Dalton.

Right now in 1st Q against Tampa, Freeman has 2 attempts while Doug Martin has 7 carries for 13 yards...

That's because they never fixed the cpu play calling and are unlikely to for Madden 13. You have to change the cpu playbook before you play them to fix this. Most team specific playbooks are set to run 80% of the time on first and second down for some stupid reason. But the generic playbooks (West Coast, pass balanced, etc) along with the Legend Playbooks (Vermeil, Billick, etc) are not broken. So switch the cpu playbook before you play them as it's the only way to correct this problem.

They are wearing pink for the WHOLE season now. WTF?

PS: Sorry if it has been brought up before.

Unfortunately this was an area done correctly in Madden 12 but incorrectly in Madden 13. While it doesn't happen all the time, any game played in the real month of October (rather than the actual month of your season in franchise) will have the pink for breast cancer awareness. Not sure why EA didn't patch this so it was tied to your season because you can have playoff games with pink right now. Just wait three more days and when November 1st comes around you won't see it anymore.

Feels like this game got a stealth edit after patch 3. No longer do I see tackling closer to the demo but players pinballing again. Guys wont make a pile anymore and it seems animations have taken over. Game played differently just a day ago.

people have made comments that the physics changed after every patch. Think we are back to animations now. Guys almost shoot away from each other after tackle so they won't lay on top of each other.

Time to let this game go. Wont be had again.

Auto subs work, the sliders do not. I have not fully tested for all positions, but at least for the RB (which is one of the most important positions in terms of fatigue) the sliders absolutely do not work. I have put it on both the 0 end and the 99 end, neither work.

Basically if you put your rb in and run 5-8 straight plays (depending on their fatigue rating and the fatigue slider) they will come out but ONLY AFTER they hit the red zone for fatigue. This is regardless of the slider. What should be happening (and does happen in play now according to what im told) is that when the slider is at 70 or so, the back will come out when he hits the yellow zone, or around 3-6 plays (again depending on sliders). This is a very important issue for people playing RB committe teams like Chicago, NE, Carolina, etc. The only work around is to constantly sub players out yourself which is yet another work around that we the players have had to create to fix this game.

I've been playing around with this for quite some time. What I found out is, that it seems as if CCM uses the auto-subs from Mu Madden. Problem is, that everytime I start a game in CCM the auto-subs in My Madden resets to 60/80 Try settings the auto-subs in My Madden and save them. Then go start a game in CCM and after the game you should see the auto-subs in My Madden has reset to 60/80.

I've started about 30 CCMs for testing and pre-patch I could sometimes get the auto-subs NOT to reset and my players subbed as they should. But after the patch I haven't been able to... Also, I have no idea why it worked some times and didn't other times.

I'm really having a good time with Madden 13 after the patch. I have the sliders I want to use in my CCM, I have the team I want to use CCM but I just can't get those auto-subs working like they should. I want my back-ups to get some XP so I won't start until this is fixed!

Could someone please explain this roster thing for me for CCM. I edited a few players on the Rams specifically Richardson(HB) and Zuerline. both I thought were underrated based on the hype surrounding them. Once I added to them ,I saved the roster. ok then load my custom roster.... went in to start my CCM. if I am correct I import my custom roster. well once in Ccm... none of the edits I made were there. Richardson was rated 58 When I had changed him 79... Zuerline was 77 when I had changed him to 85. So what gives what am I doing wrong?

So after patch 3 are the majority of you still playing this or should I just trade this in towards WWE 13?

why do you need other people's opinions? What kind of gamer are you anyways? No offense dude..but after madden gets released..the majority that is left here are haters and complainers and a few of us that are here with respectful constructive criticism or to help with suggestions on next year's game...but after madden drops each year...all that's left in these forums are the most obnoxious whiners and complainers in all sorts of flavors.

If you want an opinion..base it off the poll that Operation Sports posted a while ago..it was like 83% like the game and the remaining percentages were either in the middle or hated it..but i remember the majority liking the game. Most people that like the game have been loooooong gone from OS Madden forums..they are busy playing the game, playing in leagues, tourneys and enjoying other games as well...

I never understood the logic in asking other people "should i trade my game in guys?" ...i mean YOU YOURSELF should know if you enjoy it or not..

Personally i think its a pretty fun game of NFL Football.... i am what you call a "true gamer" ...i am not a fanboy of any system, i am not a fanboy of any brand of game..i simply take a game for what it is "a video game"...examine those positives in the game and if the fun factor and overall positives fit my needs in order for myself to have some enjoyment and excitement out of it..im good to go! I do NOT sit around and put a damn video game under a microscope dissecting it for every bug and AI logic flaw that does not mimic real life scenarios because i can comprehend that it is a video game and human AI logic is simply impossible for current technology to mimic perfectly..so i avoid searching for flaws, bugs, ai logic,etc so that i have no reason to go through a tissy fit, besides ...i am too much of a man to cry over a video game because it does some things wrong here and there and i am too much of a gamer to allow myself to not enjoy games for what they are.. video games, there are for mare things in life to worry about than a video game not being perfect...like making sure my life i right with the Christ

You know..some people all they do is unwrap their game and pop the game in and immediately put it under the microscope searching and searching for bugs, flaws and imperfections..believe it or not pal..there are people in this world that this is all they do in life..with people, places, things,etc..including video games. I cant imagine living life like that..it's gotta be stressful..

I am not saying its "wrong" to mention problems with a game..that's what is needed in order for us gamers to help the dev's make the game better..but some people just take it way to seriously. It's one thing having passion for gaming but some people are just never satisfied.

You talk about being right with Jesus in the middle of calling everyone a bunch of whiners and crying babies living stressful, terrible lives. Hypocrisy at its finest.

lol, the funniest thing to me is that Moegames posts this type stuff in a video game forum and acts like what people post in here, ABOUT VIDEO GAMES, is some indicator of how they live their entire life. He had another post a while back where he did the same thing and I believe he apologized or something like that but here we go again.

It just comes down to a difference of opinion and we have to respect the different views out there. Some people, like myself, are more critical than others. It probably isn't fair to bring up more of the negative than positive points but it's a lot like an OL in football. You don't really notice when they do a good job but you certainly notice when they miss a block.

My biggest annoyance had been the cpu playcalling but at least switching them to a generic playbook has fixed that. It's saved the game for me and the other thread on OS (and their complaining I guess) was a huge help. Others find the removal of features like multiplayer offline franchise a problem. Some might be upset with sock options. Either way, everyone will have an opinion on everything. Even if I disagree with people I like the critical posts that are specific in what they like or don't like. The generic posts - both good and bad offer nothing to the conversation for me.

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

Before this patch, I had sliders / stats / gameplay I was happy with...

After the patch, I can't seem to get anything to work as well with regard to the CPU run game...

The broken tackles are out of control...

Question(s):

I play offline Created Coach / CCM, so other then the ability to change scheme, what does this patch REALLY do for me?

I re read the list and since editing is useless, I don't really see anything that pertains to me as a positive...correct?

Also:

Is it possible to delete the third patch (PS3)?

Looks like from my game utility menu, the Madden utility has the date I first installed the first patch the came out with the game...

I assume the 2nd and 3rd and folded into that...

If I wanted to delete the 3rd patch, could I delete the whole thing and then just re install the 1st and 2nd when prompted and then pass on the 3rd?

Thanks!

I probably shouldn't answer this but on PS3 someone said that you can delete the "game info" and that will get rid of the patches/rosters etc...

i really don't know so you should search the other posts to find out. yeah this is a worthless post lol, sorry

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

King - I haven't noticed much difference with this patch for actual gameplay other than I have noticed more broken tackles and IE is better imo. Can you fix the first issue by just increasing the tackling slider? Just move it up a couple notches and I think you will be happier (I don't mind the change). The one main thing I have personally found is IE is better. I like the tackles more now than at any other time. It's still rough in spots and I know some people liked the earlier versions but I do think IE is at its best right now.

[pimpinpidgeon8]

Due to the horrible super simming, what's the best amount of minutes to play to get decent super sim stats? I'm going to be Romo but don't want overly blown up super sim stats.

Thanks rudyjuly2!

After much frustration and hand wringing (), I just zero'd out HUM and CPU BTK and TCK sliders and "viola"...prefecto...

Thanks for the encouragement tho...

I really didn't want to have to delete the patch over sliders...

It's VERY unusual, that I wasn't able to fix it sooner...

I'm must be getting old?

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

How do you save sliders?
