The Latest Title Update has arrived for Madden, but if your looking for the Week 1 CC Roster Update, it now will not arrive until Friday. It was scheduled to be released early this week.

Man am I glad I didn't buy this game, I can't imagine how gamers feel not being able to get an updated roster and not be able to play their new shiny mode. I mean, your Week 1 Roster Update will come out AFTER Week 2 begins?

i love the game.

[TheRavenouseD2008]

personaly I like the game and the update dont matter to me cause if it was released even yesterday I would not be able to do anything with it , a trash truck took out our internet phone and cable today . (not just comcast but met-ed and verizon all effected) but I plan on saturday to make a fictitious coach named Grant Taylor , now can anyone guess where that is from ?

Yeah but see that's the downfall, since this is a mostly online feature, you can't do nothing offline.

[TheRavenouseD2008]

no the downfall is living where trash trucks take out your poles and drive fork down

Let's not over react yet, but I do think Megatron gave it to Stafford causing the very bad game last week.

This was from their Facebook page, and while this is good news, it still neglects the Offline folks.

[ravensfolife]

Does anyone else hate people that go down by 14 then kick you off the game! Its just a game, but I hate putting in the time to play to be giving a loss that I didnt earn.

Still useless

[redlobster]

I'm tired of how clumsy it is to change players depth position (extremely slow) and when trying to get trades together, the drop down menus for changing teams or positions will just get locked and not let you do anything except back out and restart the game.

Whenever I try to change the depth chart in game it crashes! So frustrating.

I had problems with this when I traded for Chandler Jones and put him at backup at both DE and OLB positions, are you doing something like that?

[XxSizzleXx]

Anyone having problems with their PS3 after you quit out of Madden after being in connected career. My PS3 shuts off, restarts and says it wasnt shutoff properly then refreshes itself incase anything crashed. This only happens when I quit to the main PS screen when I am still logged into PSN, it hasn't happened when I have logged out and then quit the game.

Whenever I seem to make changes to the depth chart during a game it crashes. It happens during preseason when I'm trying to get the backups some playing time. And it happens when I get injuries and I'm tweaking the starting line-up!

[BMORElegacy]

This game is pissing me off. The rosters are all messed up. I can't get Tucker in the ccm and when he is our o-line is a mess with depth chart and ratings flubs. They need to get their act together.

The black alternate jerseys are totally wrong (I started a thread about it already) and I just realized Pitta's skin complexion is totally off. He looks Hispanic..... It's almost as bad as them making Zibby black last year.

I've been playing WAY MORE NCAA Football lately and I'm having a blast making Maryland a NCAA powerhouse. Currently in the BCS National Championship against Barkley and USC!

[Ngata Chance]

Any one notice Jah Reid is completely bald sitting on the sidelines?

Hmmmmm.

Have they done anything about player editing yet? That seems like a bit bigger issue.

[3-4ravdef509]

Random question, for those who play this on PS3, do you have a weird glitch where spikes and random lines pertrude off of officals and players during the pre play and in between play sequences?

[arnie_uk]

Is there any way of starting the cc with the current 53 man roster or do I have to go through all the cuts. I can't even put harewood as a guard as he is a tackle and when I go depth chart he's not available. Only my 2 centres and 4 guards to choose from

[Gordo52]

I'm really getting the hang of it now. Maybe because my knowledge of football is growing, but I'm starting to get the hang of reading defenses.

Try this. You know the fade button? Well press that when it gives you the other route. If it's press coverage and you use that route you beat the CB 9 out of ten times. Watch the safetys, if theres no one there and you're not facing Revis it will be a touchdown if you throw it correctly. When it's a zone coverage and they're not pressing you just hot route into a curl and throw it to that WR with you're finger on the bottom button of the dpad.

I've been doing great with RG3 by using this.

[Gordo52]

Also, if you don't have a good pair of TEs, edit your depth chart and put your 3rd or 4th WR in that place. Only do it if you want to pass, because they can't block for crap.

I mostly play with the Redskins because me and my buddy won't use Ravens since we're both Ravens fans...

I have Garcon,Moss, & Hankerson at WR. And Davis, Morgan at the TE. It works so well in the passing game!

[admartian]

Does anyone know how to change the scheme (as in from Power Run to something else) in CCM? I'm still also confused with auto subs and fatigue. I even put the slider down to 35 and players still get really tired after 2 or three players and my subs don't seem to be working.

[ravensfolife]

49ers have a heavy run package with dt in it. I use it and put ngata blocking for me.

Then Ngata sprained his knee on a play and they never used it again.

[/quote]not at all, plus ngata played rugby and mt. cody played alot of goaline fullback at bama. I've always wanted us to try ngata at hb with Cody blocking for him in a goaline package!

[TheRavenouseD2008]

actualy check the game film from last year , cody caused a false start that was the end of that , and ngata is listed as part of Jumbo I Goaline listed as a Tightend

Not sure if you guys saw this, but they seem to be listening to the community and adding stuff back in that they took out. The next update, you can edit players, use custom rosters in offline connected careers, and a few others.
