Quote failed, @SECElit3

Nope, had about 7 or 8 of the play clock left to run.

It's scripted.

Anytime it gets down to a minute or specifically 1:01 left in the 2nd or 4th quarter, the computer will always call a time out.

This will allow you to call offensive and defensive plays and just watch the CPU run them. The QB will be controlled by the CPU as well, and will throw the ball instead of sitting in the pocket waiting for you to take control of him.

Just to confirm you need to set your setting to this? Meaning if I want a coach mode only CCM i need to count on all the owners making this a personal setting and not a league wide setting?

I guess I was hoping when I created a CMM the choice to make it coach mode only was there.

Finally got Coach mode and Broadcast view to work in Offline CCM on 360

I deleted all prior saved CCM

Went into settings and changed my camera view to Broadcast and turned on Coach Mode...
Started new offline CCM Coach.. The only time I do not have Broadcast View is when doing the practices ...

Very strange. You on PS3?

I see you can change coach schemes now, but can you change the ratios in addition to that now? As in if Im 50/50 pass at the start of my CCM, can I change it to 60/40 pass, etc.

# 110 ramspeedkill @ 10/15/12 12:49 PM

damn wished they would let us select cpu's unis

To be fair, it didn't happen in the 4th quarter, just the 2nd.

If anyone is curious, the 2 games had Mathews run for 152 yards from 21 carries, and Bush run for 205 from 23 carries. Better stats than pre-patch games I've had.

# 112 DetroitStyle @ 10/15/12 12:52 PM

Everything is working as advertised, however I do have two issues.

#1: WR drops were not tuned in my opinion. It says they were tuned on All-Madden but that just doesn't seem to be the case. Maybe for the CPU but not the User. I was playing on All-Madden with the catching slider at 50 and had 10 dropped passes in the first half of a game.

#2: Playcalling and tendencies were not changed, fixed, or tuned. It wasn't stated in the patch notes and it wasn't secretly changed. If you say otherwise it's just placebo. In one half game I played against the eagles they had 7 passes to 18 rushes. I was seeing the same types of playcalling and the unbalanced rushing attack from various teams. The one I mentioned was just my latest since the patch.

Wondering if anyone can run a quick test on this.

#2 is different results than I had, then.

Started an offline franchise and the Niner, a conservative play calling team, out of 4 drives, three passes on first down and passes on 3rd down plays.

I was specifically watching for this, too.

You also said you played a quarter. Not trying to be negative but I would think people need a bigger sample size before forming an opinion one way of the other.

Also if they had patched this they why wouldn't they put it in the patch notes?

# 116 durrrr @ 10/15/12 01:05 PM

Has anyone experienced panning around when playing a ranked game? After I ran a play, we would both pick our plays and the game would pan around the stadium, while the play clock was stopped.

This is on the PS3

That's odd. I finished a preseason game in coach ccm with broadcast camera.

What was the run/pass ratio for the game?

In my game this morning, Brady was throwing all over the place. I should have gotten stats, but I had to leave for work. I have had so much experience tweaking sliders for CCM pre-patch, I know what I saw this morning was not placebo.

Same question - what run/pass ratio did you get?

Having Brady throw a ton is encouraging, but I'm hoping to see some stats/data.

# 120 KR817 @ 10/15/12 01:09 PM

Was editing my roster in my new CCM and I noticed all offensive linemen have tiny arms. Not just on my team.

So I start another CCM with week 1 rosters. Same thing.

Start an offline CCM with a custom roster. Same thing. Is this a glitch everyone is seeing or just me?
