    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!

              The patch just came out, how do you know the CPU playcalling logic is better? Seems way to quick to make that call.

                "Only played one game" those were initial impressions.

                  Havent played this game in over a month. Are the simulation stats fixed yet? These new features are great but really makes no difference if games are getting 200 plays.

                    Can someone confirm if changing sliders/settings wipe all league injuries?

                      Steve,

                      Is this referring to what you can edit in CCM? From my understanding we would be able to edit player attributes before starting a CCM and then start a CCM using the edited roster?

                        Looks like you can edit them at any time. I simmed through week 2 and I can still edit the same things.

                          Are they going to fix the PS3 version when trying to quit the game?? Double beep hard reset. It's rendered the game unplayable.

                            So this does mean you can create a player then go in a ccm and he'll still be on the roster right?

                              It also seems if they might have touched the physics a bit. For some reason, the game play seems much more smooth. It was a rather large patch.
