Madden NFL 13 CCM Will Not Allow You to Play Other Games on the Schedule, Only Yours

[RLaguna]

Well in all fairness...I'd bet dollars to donuts that if ENOUGH people griped and voiced how frustrated they are about this, then perhaps EA would considering PATCHING it in this year.....The PLAY ANY GAME on the SCHEDULE may or MAY NOT be a difficult thing to tweak into the programming code on the 11th hour. Only EA knows for sure...and only EA has the control to do it, but we as potential customers have the right,.... or actually, the responsibility to gripe, fester, and shout it out to the heavens until our fingers fall off so they know how much it means to us....or at least until someone from EA actually responds to it.

Squeaky wheel gets the oil!

Enough people have and I guarantee you EA knows how we feel. No need to continue griping page after page about it though.

It'd be great but I don't think it's something that can be patched into the game.

You have the right to do whatever you want (of course outside of these boards or within the rules here), but there are many features that were more important than this, such as the salary cap for Online Franchise last year, that were left out. Many people were outraged, but that did not get the feature into the game. Unless it is a very minor feature, there is hardly any chance of this making it into the game at this stage.

Before you ask: The reason why I do not label this as "minor" is because, as Justin Dewiel stated, Connected Careers is based around you and your character. I don't see Connected Careers being redesigned or designed to suit this at this stage in development, especially considering that Josh Looman wants everything to be perfect.

I'm not griping about it. If they find a way to be able to allow us to play other games, then great. All I'm saying is why make it so complicated when it was so easy before? Why make us jump through hoops of changing coaches just to play other games? As I stated, I controlled the Ravens but if I wanted to play other games, I didn't need to switch teams in the middle of the Franchise to do it.

If I am controlling John Harbaugh and let's say I want to play as the Giants I don't want to switch over to Tom Coughlin just to play as the Giants against the Eagles. I want to be able to play as the Giants while still in control of John Harbaugh.

Plus as some stated before, Madden is a virtual NFL, and some like the 32 team control because they can play out the entire season their way and keep track of their own storylines, and play out the season their way.

Right, I don't disagree with anything you just said and I don't think anyone does.

My point is its been discussed now for weeks and you're far from the person to make that same post.

There is really no reason to continue rehashing the same thing over and over again. Trust me EA knows we aren't happy about it.

hmm, do they???....and even so, do they care that much???

judging by their tweets, they don't very much IMO

For me, the battle is to now make sure the features we lost gets back into the game asap for 14....

None of that adding it back in piece by piece slowly over the course of Half a Decade either

This is just another example of taking more control away from the user and its sad.

Fortunately for me, I have never played other teams games during my franchise so It doesnt effect me at all...

Yes they know.

How would I know if they care or not?

And yes, I too want to make sure it is back in next year as well.
