Things aren't going to make the cut. That's just the nature of it. Whether you like it or not, thats the way it is. Don't like it, don't buy it... Some of you are making this out to be the end of the world or something and to you I say get some perspective! Geez... Be thankful for what you do get and that you do have the freedom to purchase or not purchase this game.

I can't believe you just said the bolded above. I can't believe it lol!!!!

Going by you're theory, Why in the hell would you recode something and excluded 3 major features that fans have been using since the Sega genesis,Super nintendo, playstation,gamecube,xbox,playstation 2, and xbox days? "Things" aren't going to make the cut? Those "things" you say are the main reason some of the Madden fans purchase the game each and every year regardless if the gameplay is tight or trash. Basically you are saying you're satisfied with them adding twitter feeds over editing players,equipment, and playing other games?

Thanks for the laugh.

But only one of these 2 games has the ability to take control of the AI to prevent this from happening

But, to be fair, only one of these games has an engaging career mode for a pick-up-and-play gamer.

Edit...totally forgot about RTTS so make that franchise mode not career mode

I would say no since XP will not be DLC. So XP has nothing to do with it. Let's just kill the conspiracy theories now because we hear them every year yet they never come to fruition.

Give it some time to sink in. People DO NOT LIKE change. A lot of these folks will soften up by August.

Well consider this is what i do when i play the game

I ONLY play offline
I always do multiple team franchises... can no longer do
I love editing equipment game to game to make sure it's realistic or what i want... can no longer do
I enjoy playing games for teams that i might not be user controlling... can no longer do

So whats the point of me buying the game then when they took out basically everything i enjoyed

Cmon man lol. Online pass has been there for what? 3 years....

Realm, I'm a little surprised at this post from you, to be honest. You come across as well-spoken in the NHL forums, but this is very snide remark and short-sighted.

While this news may have no affect on how you play your CC, you've got to know that not everyone plays the game the same way you do. There's nothing wrong with that. If people want to try and have certain teams lose, that's their business because it's their game.

If people (like me), want to watch Playoff or Super Bowl games their team isn't involved in via CPU-CPU mode, what's the harm in that?

If people want to edit their rosters and have all their players be rated a 99, go for it! If others want to really dive in to the ratings and provide TRUE PLAYER SEPARATION (like we see Matt do in the NHL forums and Gotmadskillzson and Playmakers do for Madden/NCAA), that's a benefit to a larger community and helps with the enjoyment of the game.

I mean, it really makes no sense why EA is ripping the guts out of the offline options and forcing everyone to play the game the same way.

We all have different ideas and ways of playing our Career/Franchise Modes. While something may work for you, it may not work for me. Options are a vital component of a successful sports game and by eliminating those options, EA is making it awfully hard to get behind its product because not everyone is going to happy with what was taken out of what was supposed to be their game.

Madden isn't a good enough game for me to ignore that they removed everything i enjoyed doing (outside of the actual game). I haven't bought Madden for the past 2 years and really i haven't played Madden for the last 5-6 years. For a few years i was buying it, bored after a week and would sell it back until i finally smartened up and stopped buying it. I didn't miss it one bit but saw with the new Infinity Engine that it was looking good this year so i was gonna give it a try until they took away everything else and forced us to play 1 way basically.
