Got this from Operationsports. Huge discussion going on over there, this is serious. Some of you may have lost games or gave up TD's/Yrds because of this.

Short summary: There is a bug in M13 where the CPU randomly makes your CBs run commit. This happens 5-10 times per game. If the CPU passes on these plays it usually results in a TD since the CPU WRs have a huge head start. Sliders cannot fix the bug. The only known workaround it to pass commit on every play.

Long version:

There is a HUGE man coverage bug in Madden 13 that is ruining the experience. Every 5 or 6 pass plays all of my CBs take 3-4 steps toward the QB before retreating and trying to catch up to the now wide open WR. This results in 2-4 easy TDs for the CPU per game. When this bug happens all of my CBs synchronize and run toward the QB at the same time.

I am seeing this on the Season Ticket version of the game. I am not telling the CBs to do anything different such as press, play run, etc. I simply call man coverage and they act like morons. It happens to all of my CBs, even high rated players like Champ Bailey.

Edit #1: This happens on normal pass plays, not on PA passes.

I have played with the pass reaction sliders and it does NOT resolve the issue. I have tried every difficulty and I even deleted the game and re-downloaded it.

Here is a video where my two CBs run toward the QB and leave both CPU WRs wide open. It isn't even halftime in this game and the CPU already has 3 TD passes due to this bug.

Edit #2:

I have been doing some more testing and I am 99% certain that the computer somehow tells your team to commit to the run. When I manually make the pre-snap commit to run adjustment my CBs do the same animation.

In summary, the CPU commandeers control your CBs and makes them aggressively jump the run. If the CPU passes on that play you are screwed. The only work around is to tell your team to play the pass on every down. Obviously, the downside is it's very hard to stop the CPU run game when your whole team is playing the pass.

In my opinion the game is unplayable until EA fixes this. How did they miss such a glaring bug?

Updates:

Update: Thanks to OS member Kiddlex, it appears that we have a temporary solution: controlling a player on the D-Line prior to the snap triggers the bug. If you control a LB or someone in the secondary the bug should go away. Once the ball is snapped you can switch to a DE or DT w/o triggering the bug.

Update #2 (info from PM sent to me from EA Sports Community Manager EmmdotFrisk)

It appears that the bug is triggered by pressing down on the RS immediately after the snap, regardless of your position. Because "user jump snap" has been removed, there could be an issue that is triggering run commit with right stick only.

Is that a serious question/statement?

Bruh, you don't even own the game yourself :laff:
You hatin the game in another thread, so your only purpose is to shyt on the game

Anybody can pull up links shytting on literally any game.

Is the video you posted a real possible glitch? Maybe it is
Here's the problem between you and I (same as in the other thread)
Only people who take gaming too far would even be looking for glitches to exploit.
You claim you wanna it to be realistic, but you search for unrealistic shyt to do, then you complain about it :mindblown:

Now any "glitch" that is present and is a real problem, it will be patched.
So either get the game or what are you doing really?

Thats a serious question...

nikka I'm not hating anything and this isn't an exploit, it happens to the team you control. You can literally ruin your defensive coverage on your own. nikka read before you type. This glitch probable fukked you over already. Smh.

lol, it's amazing how ppl come to the rescue when it comes to Madden. Like, how DARE anyone point out a horrible glitch like that? Gimme a break. shyt like this is exactly why I didn't cop either NCAA or Madden. shyt like this happens way too much in their football games.

And Court, you should probably keep out of these discussions, cause you don't have a clue. If you did, you'd know that when EA "patches" something, there's a 95% chance that they fukk something else up in the process.

And I see alot of hate for them dudes at OS, but if it weren't for them, then we'd probably LITERALLY be playing the same exact game every year. It's bad enough that they half ass these games, but without a large community like OS, EA wouldn't even try.

He said it happened in the season ticket version though?

I haven't had it happen to me yet since I don't hit the Right Stick Down after the snap (I'll check it out to see if it happens to me).


No need to really even press the right stick down after a snap if you aren't controlling a lineman either.



interesting and noted.
:mjpls:

No, the problem is that over the last few years, alot of whining brats have joined OS and started crying over petty shyt.

"THIS GAME IS UNPLAYABLE SINCE YADA YADA HAS THE WRONG SHADE OF BLUE"
"THIS TEAM HAS THE WRONG SOCKS, IT'S BROKEN"
"WHY HAVEN'T THE DEVELOPERS RESPONDED TO US!!"
"YOU GOT NIKE INSTEAD OF ADIDAS ON THEIR UNIFORMS!"
"I CAN'T CONTROL MY USER CELEBRATION. THIS IS A DISGRACE!"

That's the shyt I hate.

We knew beforehand about the draft class thing. And you see the reviews on Amazon crying about their is no franchise mode, when it fact it is. It's the shyt like that that irritates me. Most of the whining posters are easily spotted by just looking at their OS join date.

People have forgotten about the point of games being just to have fun. The fukkin leaps we have gotten in sports gaming has been absurd. But that's still not enough to satisfy cats. There will NEVER be a perfect game. But as long as those fallacies of the game don't completely ruin it the point that it is unplayable and still remain fun, I'm good.

As much as it may suck that I got an Olinemen with the same number as another cat, when I'm playing the game, am I really paying attention to that shyt? NOPE. And I know they'll fix that kinda stuff. Even the editing should be able to make it in via a patch.

I see this shyt sometimes as the way the Rethugs used to have those cornball ass response press conferences after an :obama: speech. It's like they could wait till the speech was over to nitpick. You do have cats whose sole purpose is to find a glitch and/or nitpick shyt just to be on that old "SEE SEE I TOLD YALL!!!" steez. :rudy:


The faults of the game (so far) pale in comparison to the strengths and fun I'm having, so life is good (:ahh: ) for me and this best version of Madden this gen EASILY!! Cats always complained about EA doing no major improvements every year (there's only so much you can do feature wise at this point IMO), but implementing the physics engine and rewriting the frachise modes with Connected Careers are two HUGE updates that you can't deny.

They gave us big updates and cats still aint happy. Where's the love? They actually TRIED HARD FOR US this year! :why:
