Next patch will include:

fixing the wind
adding headsets to coaches.
a few other misc things.

they want you to upgrade and buy their new game and sony and micro want you to get a new system. I would not expect much more but would have to say i am enjoying this Madden 25 even for the slight flaws it has. Not gonna complain

and this will be the last patch they offer. I cant imagine them doing much more to a last gen once new gen is out. but they need to toe the line of treating customers well that have yet to upgrade or risk losing their business

Next patch SHOULD include:
Working auto subs
Formation subs that stick
Better sim stats
Toned down user run game or more defensive slider options
CPU punts that aren't always touch backs and CPU needs to miss some FGs

I personally would also like to see the player card career history include their former teams along with the stats.

They need to invest more time in making the CFM more enjoyable and immersive. This is their flagship game mode and it needs to shine if they expect sales to pick up again. The above fixes would greatly help to that end and they are all things that used to work at one time or another. CFM, in its current state, is a hot mess and has been since its inception.

If they leave these items twisting in the wind their future business prospects will surely suffer.

Did this bug get fixed?

this is a thing that really bothers me. when playing my first ccm (pre 2nd patch) the same thing happened to me (playing with cowboys and they wear the patches, but no captain in the first season) every rookie i drafted was assigned as a captain (i've played 3 seasons so far and yhis happened after every draft i made), can't tell if they fix this, but i guessing not, at least they don't mention this issue in the patch notes. one thing is sure, u still can't assign players to this role.
changing the subject, heat seeker still not working in ccm, i keep the square button pressed but my player keeps diving for the tackle, even if the ball carrier is still far away from him

Nope....that is not the way to heat seek.

Use your right stick towards the ball carrier. And if your squared up and have a good angle you will jack him up.

# 126 buckeyedawgtribe @ 10/25/13 11:43 AM

anyone having success with ball hawk and would you care to divulge to secret to success?

right stick or left? anyway, i use the left stick to move my player towards the ball carrier and keep the button pressed, and after a while the player still dives for the tackle even if the ball carrier is away. i'll try again, maybe is just a problem of training. armor, one last question, heat seeker is working in your career mode? and thanks

# 129 Ueauvan @ 10/25/13 12:23 PM

also need to fix freeze when entering depth chart in a game, really really annoying

you use the right stick. instead of flicking it, just hold it toward the ball carrier.

What secret? You mean to get it to work? After the ball is thrown, switch to the defender and hold Y/Triangle. The skills trainer says to do with when the ball is at its highest point.

It's crazy to me that if your playing an online franchise you have to restart for the patch to work.

# 133 NYBorn81 @ 10/25/13 12:58 PM

Yea, I'm going back to playing patch free. This **** freezes EVERYTIME. I don't understand how EA can release a game like this, which is ultimately unplayable on some PS3's apparently.

Link to where EA said this, please? And I don't mean for past Maddens as mentioned upthread, I mean this one.

Yeah use your left stick to move your player and at the same time use the right stick to go for a heat seeking/hit stick tackle. And it does work in my CFM pre patch.

On my way home from Vegas and will DL the patch late tonight.

We're you getting the freezing issues before, or only since DL patch #2?

Been a issue since last years Madden. For sure not just something new since the patch.

# 140 Howie75 @ 10/25/13 05:16 PM

Not to muddy the waters, but it seems as though you only have to restart to avoid the draft class issue?

I tried my existing franchise, and now IR works. So the patch must work to some extent in existing franchises. Now the million dollar question, is it worth starting over? Are there other benefits than the draft class?
