This is the problem, they decide what is important to us in a game rather than asking us what is important. I can't move Mario Williams back to DE, but hey I can see Skip Bayless tweet about Tim Tebow!

Contractor: I don't understand why they're upset. I mean sure I didn't ask them whether or not electricity and plumbing were important, but I talked to my employees and they were sure they would be exicited about the mailbox. I mean I build houses, I know whats important for someone to have in their house more than they do, they don't know what they want.

Don't forget, this:

Contractor: Indoor plumbing can be added next year. We're going to hold off on electricity though, because we definitely want something to do for the year after that. In addition, the electricity will only light half of the house. If you're lucky, we'll come back mid year and light the other half. Otherwise, you'll have to wait until next year. With these great improvements, the house is really headed in the right direction as far as being compared to all of the other houses in the neighborhood.

Yup. They can't code the program for editing players for our use in CCM, they can code for outside of CCM, they say it's the same code and ONLY code the game is built upon, it is said to be too complex to change at short notice or in short time but they also show us they can obviously code a Twitter clone into their program for use that allows for likely 32,000 possible storylines to completely made up (also coded) draft rookies.

I have never seen so much talking in circles with this game franchise. They've at least reached a new high in that regard.

If I was to point to one area where EA has really stepped up their game this year this would be it...lol

I think the house analogy is fun because everyone knows what is in CCM looks amazing... but the little we just expect to be there, aren't.

Big FN Deal - You might just see the "wiring" differently than I do. The wiring coudl be 32 team control for one player or editing of players, or about anything that we expect to just be part of the package deal and are flabbergasted that it isn't.

What's fun about the analogy is that you can apply it to many facets of Madden. For example - in my little play on words, I was thinking of gameplay flaws. See? This is a new fun game for all Madden players to enjoy!

Yeah, the thing I don't get is that they said they don't want to add anything into the game that isn't complete, yet this whole CC mode is incomplete with multiple features removed until they can implement them...

So why didn't they just wait until next year to make the switch from Franchise to Connected Careers...? As long as walk on FAs & FA itself was tuned while still oblivious to CCM coming, it would have been fine by me and I think a lot of others.
