I can see it happening if the.community continues the pressure

I think it's too late to make any damage control.

It depends on if they're willing to sacrifice broken over nothing. If they put it in and it's broken, it will probably just make people even more mad even though they were told that it's the reason it didn't make it into the game in the first place.

I hope that's not the case - really wanted to try out this edition of madden but it's hard to justify the purchase without player editing included.

All the more reason these changes are more of a blow now. Madden 14 may be the last Madden this gen, and whose to say how many of the fanbase will be able to early adopt to the nxt next gen Madden based off of this current model. How much of this current model makes it to next gen(they only mention a 3 year plan, 14 will end that cycle)? It's a major blow to the community as well as a very huge gamble and commitment. If this were 09, three years into a new console cycle it wouldn't sting so bad, but going out it baffles the mind.

I think the move to combining the three modes was in preparation for an easier transition to next gen. It's a foundation, and while it might be a significant blow this year, if a lot of the features missing this year make it in next year, then it set ups for a much more seamless transition into next gen than what we saw from 05 to 06 which was absolutely awful.
