This looks like a good patch..
They didn't fix the in game subs though?
 
# 42 crpav @ 10/03/12 05:04 PM
Like a few have asked, why no transactions list? All in all awesome stuff.
 
# 43 Sabredj @ 10/03/12 05:05 PM
I love the looks of this patch if it delivers. However, did I miss something or is the depth chart issue and wonky free agent adds and cuts still going to be a problem?

Outside of the addition of Fantasy Drafts, yes. We will not have Fantasy Drafts in offline CCMs this year.

For those of you asking, you will not need to restart your Connected Careers for many of the new items like Edit Player and Draft Clock, but you would need to do so if you were looking to use a custom roster for an offline CCM.

Nice list of fixes EA. Thank's for listening.

Dewiel or Emdot, How many people can play along on separate teams in a offline CCM? Just two or up to 32? Would love to see 32 team control back.

This applies to current online CCMs also correct? So I will be able to keep playing my current online CCM and download the patch and be able to edit my players equipment?

Thanks!!!

Great news, makes sense. On with the show, OS Vets!

Great Patch - But is the man bug not fixed?

I think you misunderstood this man. So you can be on the same team in the offline, but you can't control other teams. You can have 4 guys on a team.

Emm and Dewiel,

1) Will the new "A.I." Play Calling logic and slider adjustments work for existing single player online and offline CCM's? We need some clarity on this.

2) Will we be able to use Conventional play calling as our default in CCM's now? This was not listed and bugs the crap out of me .

3) Will the PS3 "hard shutdown" when quitting Madden be fixed?

Thanks for all of the updates and patch 3!
 
# 54 sooner1 @ 10/03/12 05:13 PM
This update does nothing for people who would like a little defense online

That's Correct.

Should any game need a patch like this? No. That said, I am really glad they listened to us instead of saving all these CCM features for next year.

Yea, the fixes will go into existing CCMs and yes the conventional playcalling setting will work properly with this update.

Oh ok. Thanks.

Really liking the list...I'll bet I have to redo sliders but that's alright. I'll make it a weekend project Hopefully I can get the auto-sub thing to work right post-patch too.

I'm really glad to see this. I was beginning to feel a little abandoned there for a bit. Most of the hot points for most people have been addressed.

Nice work EA. Thanks for listening!
