Madden connected careers: what purpose does it really serve?

"A lot of these issues won't be fixed because of the code we used" That will be the response from EA.

If you're doing your own "offline" CC, don't actually use "offline" CC. Make it online and set it to private without telling anyone the password.

They tweak the mode daily since everything is stored server side, but that only will apply to online. The offline version won't get any adjustments until the actual patch. Many things currently broken in "offline" that work in "online".

That's fairly retarded. Wouldn't it of been easier to make it all online and have the data stored on both ends thus making it possible for people without constant internet connections to still be able to play. Just have the option of do you want this to be private or not during the setup and your done.

Steam has been doing this for a few years now and it works quite well.

Its EA were talking about though.

They need to provide an offline option for people who don't connect to PSN. Seems rather obvious.

Which is why I said:

If you wave your hand the smoke goes away :lesmug:

Personally I feel like CCM is completely broken. Just as I expected the game sucks and I'm sitting here regretting a $60 purchase. The gameplay isn't the issue but its nearly impossible to play an offline franchise anymore. The trade block fucking sucks and most of the new stuff that "is in the game" isn't working. The supposed best new feature of the mode for offline guys is the new coaching schemes and they're so broken you can't even attempt to use them. The only cool part about CCM is the new progression style. Touche EA you've duped me again.

awesome post Argath.....

This is why I'll be playing Madden 12 for franchise mode again this year.

I don't really have a problem with Madden 13 for Play Now Games it's a pretty cool game in that respect. But i like to play my own offline franshise where i monitor CPU rosters and also edit some ratings that I feel EA does terrible job on.

Like for example this year look at the DT's why on earth is there a high number of DT's with 80 acceleration rating?

There is also a crazy number of QB's in the game with 80+ accuarcy which is why passing is too way easy right out of the box.....there needs to be more seperation between players IMO.

But my biggest knock on Madden 13 is the lack of editing ability on a game we pay good money to purchase. We should be able to do what ever the hell we want to the players and teams during our own franchise. But EA wants to force us to play the game their way on and off the field.

This is dumb, give me regular franchise back. Between this lame mode and how long it takes to navigate the menu's. This game is barely playable.

 

[bucky]

Where have you been? I'm not getting Madden 13. Gonna stick with 12. Will look at 14 next year.

 

[dope]

i'll continue to play madden 12 until they allow you to import rosters from ncaa. until they do that i won't buy either game.
