By not saying anything, all we have to go by is their track record of it not working well in the past. I get that it is a new mode, but I would have expected a mention of it being tweaked in the new mode somewhere along the line (blogs or E3 videos). Did they work on improving this area at all?

I will probably get one more good look at CCM before it's released. I will certainly ask about it and see what i can dig up for you guys.

Before that I played Madden on the genesis against friends and then I entered the online league realm on the PC. The PC had a fully functional online franchise back then, it was amazing. Then of course, they removed it, so I know exactly how you feel. 2k came out and I played the hell out of it online head to head against friends until 2k5 had full support for online leagues, then i played that. Then I lost my favorite brand of football to play all together. Trust me, I know exactly how it feels to have what you enjoy taken away. At least you can get yours back... There are few people who are frustrated with Madden as much as I am, but connected careers is an awesome addition to this game. That much I am willing to say for sure.

I thought I remembered you from the 2k forums. Those were the days man, even with the finn editor. I thought I was in heaven when I purchased 2k5.

Ya, this editing thing really gets the blood pressure going,lol. Not easy to stay as "chill" as one would like. Anyway, hope they see people want that feature and decide to put it in!

I was pumped up for Madden 13, but this editing thing has me wondering if I should stick with Madden 12 another year and go to Madden 14.

Here is my issue:

I see a TON of people in this forum saying "CCM is great" "Its so innovative" etc but hardly any of you have actually seen or played this mode. You are all going off of blogs and impressions by Game Changers. Even the GCs only saw a offline version of this mode in May. So what exactly are you basing this optimism on?

On the other hand, we have several people who are down on the mode. The difference is they have legitimate reasons to be down on the mode. They have confirmed that there is no editing, no multi team franchise, no NCAA import and very limited control over rosters. These things have been confirmed. But all I hear is "Give the mode a chance" "You wanted improvements and now you are complaining" "You are complaining before actually playing the mode".

The people who are down on the game are actually more justified with their complaints than the people who are positive right now. Why? Because the complainers know that key components of the game (to them) are missing. The praisers of the mode are going off of blogs and impressions (pretty much EA advertisements because of who they are coming from) to base their excitement.

I'm not gonna knock any one who is excited about this mode. I hope just as you do that the mode is going to be bug free and have intelligent AI. But dont knock me for being skeptical based on the Madden team's track record and the missing features.

lol.

This editing thing has got my blood pressure up


Its almost like I finally said to myself, "wow this could be the madden game I been looking for!" Then, boom no editing players news hits. Total letdown. A year is a long time to wait. Please let this NFL exclusive deal expire!

In all honesty, I plan on picking up a used copy and playing in my league. I am no longer running it as I have passed the torch, but it is still quality and the guys are fun to talk to and play the game with. The amount of work to run an online franchise up to this point was beyond ridiculous. I put in a ton of hours in building a web site, writing 3 solid rule books (gameplay, league, team management), having everything organized to the point of me being crazy (I'm a bit OCD). Without XFN (which did a nice job) it would have been impossible. That being said, the way you feel about the missing stuff is how I feel with respect to the gameplay. Madden pales in comparison to APF in that department and that game is a 5 year old port of an 8 year old game. I have little to no faith in the people producing the gameplay, but Looman is the one guy I actually think has some real talent there. This mode is really really late to the party, but it is finally something I think they did right.

I kid...I kid....

I hope we can get someone to do a decent interview with them on this issue and where they see this stuff fitting into their timetable

I.E...Is this Priority Number 1 for Madden 14 CC Mode
