I agree with this. Just seems like with all the excitement and focus around delivering a deep mode with online access, the bedrock POV of playing on the same console got completely overlooked with CCM

It's like having a great idea and you think everything is perfect then suddenly someone points out an obvious oversight, that wasn't so obvious earlier.

Well judging by their tweets I get the impression that they view this stuff as needless extra work....They haven't shown much passion or remorse that this stuff was omitted

I'll agree with the both of you on that. Though I think both of you would agree to an extent that having a specific group of people working on improving each mode individually would have helped each mode. If you have people working on each mode, then all 3 modes can improve individually. All EA did was create one BIG MAJOR PROBLEM.

None. "possibly" wait till Madden 14, something I'm on the fence of likely won't happen then either due to CC having an online feature set. But that's just my view based on what EA has done in the past.

They said they'd have liked to have it in there, but didn't have time. I don't see how they're supposed to show "remorse" or "passion". Not having time is a legitimate excuse, the pertinent question is whether that time was well spent. Is CC a leap forward or another dud gimmick? If the latter, then we can expect to see remorse. As it stands, removing player editing may be a necessary evil that we benefit from.

All this talk they do about time n developing cycle in one yr etc just fails miserably afta we seen what NBA2k was able to do from 2k10 to 11 imo...it just kills that argument

Yes, but the unification leads to, as Big has pointed out previously, the POSSIBILITY of from now on getting a much deeper and more advanced mode on a yearly basis.

They immediately apologized for the terrible audio last year and made it clear it was going to be a major focus moving forward
