Madden 13 Coach Mode Preliminary Slider test

[Lombardi]

what do you know that time of year again. I might be sticking with madden 12 for the following reasons.

1) no cpu vs cpu
2) still no human scrambling qbs really?
3) no coach mode in connected carrer really how lame they better patch this and in a hurry.

Anyways for what its worth i am wiping early acess into shape so take this all with a grain of salt .Leaste you acn play coach mode in exibition better then nothing.But i am not happy with the 3 above things so much so i might stick with 12 we will see if they patch and how fast. what i dont get for the life of me why NCAA has all of this yet madden doesnt really? seriously? just saying. the game itself plays well i like alot of what i see on the field .EA is so close to the real deal its not even funny but as i said the 3 above things alone are killing this game for me . why cant the NCCA team do madden?

anyways have fun with these im testing take them with a grain of salt.

Re: Madden 13 Coach Mode Preliminary Slider test

Do you still have your madden 12 sliders laying around? I have the ones from the test we did last year, but I was wondering if you ever updated the ones you used for franchise mode?

I seriously doubt they'll patch in CM for CCM, but if they do I may get the game.

Re: Madden 13 Coach Mode Preliminary Slider test

Yes the sliders on the first page of the madden 12 sliders are updated.Honestly i need to bump that thread up. ALot of great work in there and they play extremly well i must say. Alot of people helped with those and made huge contributions , they came out great.Untill madden 13 is and *if* patched the only Franchise your getting is madden 12. I had high hopes madden 13 was it .Really the step foward.

They should have left franchise alone.Honestly right now i want old franchise back so bad you dont even know.Really i think most would be quite happy with old franchise. This new CCM is to new extremely unpolished and frankly rushed. Then again i am unsure how stuff like this gets past there QA testing honestly.

Like ive said you cant even coach mode a game in CCM which that right there is killing it .I just do not get this .You pick a coach but you cant even coach the games im baffled. Should have just left franchise alone none of this CCM stuff. Game needs a patch badly, kinda unplayable if you are a coach mode or sim player.

Hey Guys

We should all jump on the EA Tech help and feedback forum and flood them with requests to include coach mode for CCM in the 1st patch.

Use the CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK thread

Re: Madden 13 Coach Mode Preliminary Slider test

In the latest news Coach Mode too be added to CM. So will try the ones posted here. I hope there are others who will test so a central slider set can be found.

Re: Madden 13 Coach Mode Preliminary Slider test

How do you interpret the sliders? The way they label them in the game seems counter-intuitive

For example: "Interceptions" - Does a higher slider mean more interceptions (harder) or less interceptions (easier)

Same with "QB Accuracy" - Does a higher slider mean more accurate (easier) or less accurate (harder)

See what I mean?

Yes, the key is finding balance where the cpu is using the player attributes.

Re: Madden 13 Coach Mode Preliminary Slider test

I played a lot of coach mode in play now in the first few weeks hoping a patch would drop earlier. I found myself adapting a few other sets for realism; namely Blue Ninja's and Charter 04's. I am aware that play now and carreers play differently so hopefully we can come up with a good set ASAP.

So relieved this is being added. I live for coach mode in all titles.

Re: Madden 13 Coach Mode Preliminary Slider test

Lombardi, you around man? I'll do the data portion again this year if you want to spearhead a slider test. I can't wait for the patch and another good year of coaching my falcons!

I'm going to test these sliders this weekend...

Will you be doing a madden coach mode set, once the patch drops? I use your set from NHL and it is awesome. I can't wait for this patch to drop so I can start playing some football.

I'm hearing the patch dropped this morning. I am awaiting some reviews and comments from fellow Coach Mode users before I decide to dump M12 for M13. I'd love to see some Coach Mode sliders out here for M13!

Well the game was patched.Um Sim stats are respectable seems playable now from a coach mode standpoint. hum qbs still wont scramble but whatever. I am willing to spearhead a slider test the right way Football Freaks Style. I am busy with RL and other games but i can cook something up. First thou i need to see if theres enough interest.I would need enough Great testers to do it correctly. you all know who you are Everyone more or less knows how I test would be simular to my madden 12 sliders.

So if you are interested in a through coach mode slider test please post here and say im In or whatever. I also need number crunchers and stat adders like sl8b and others.

so if your In post here and ill see if we get enough interest and people

So the sim stats prior to the patch were broke? How is the overall gameplay since the patch? Do you think its much of an upgrade over M12?

I think I'll leave Football sliders to the experts with this one. I've got a newborn so time is very restricted right now.

Patch came a day early so got some late night tests in last night using SECElit3's sliders. He has a base set that is the same for both human and CPU for play now and the patch makes CC play the same. Plays pretty well but the CPU QB not scrambling is still an issue; however I do play with the Broncos so it's not like Manning is any kind of Usain Bolt. Otherwise no big issues.

Fairly solid gameplay and stats from the three games I got in.
