So you know the saying treat people the way you want to be treated, well Josh is being rude to people so guess what, he wants to be rude, then they will be rude to him. Josh can't have it both ways and that's like treating someone so bad and when they start treating you the same way, you get upset at them when the whole time you were doing to them what they did to you. Right now Josh is treating the customers so bad and being rude that when customers starting doing what he is doing to them, he is getting upset, believes he is in the right(not realizing he is being rude back to them) and blocking them.

You can search mentions.... When you are rude, you deserve to be blocked. Just because someone has an opinion doesn't mean they can throw etiquette out the window.

I understand why many guys are upset and I think you all have a right to be. This is a place for everyone to voice their opinion. However, just because there are people who are satisfied with the game and are excited to play CC doesn't mean we should be getting bashed either. For years this forum has been very negative, its good to see that there is at least some positive vibe around here. I think this game finally deserves some credit.

Not being able to play other games on the schedule is a horrible decision and game breaking to ME having friends come over and run a league of a few heads is not possible when it has always been. We play to what the NFL is offering and EA wants us to play fantasy football with fake rookies and current players on other teams in future years. That to me is a huge slap in the face for their dedicated customers

Use Play Now? It seems franchise mode is exactly the "fantasy" type of football you're complaining about. If you and your friends truly just want to play the games on the NFL schedule without fake players or stats or injuries then Play Now is what you'd use, not franchise.

A lot of people in this thread seem to be complaining just to complain.

It turned me off enough to pass on the game entirely.

It never ceases to amaze me how difficult EA seem to make a CRUD (Create Read Update Delete) operation out to be - this isn't exactly the first time basic database operations like editing a record didn't make the cut due to "time issues".

My god, throw together a UI with the appropriate fields - use designs already done for other screens as a launching point - link those fields to rows in the database and there you have it - an editing form! It is literally that easy, and if for some reason it isn't, then EA, you are doing it wrong.

Hell, if there already is an editing component for Play Now rosters, load the logic and design applied to that into CC and there you go. I'm sure Madden is coded in a modular manner where code can be reused rather than duplicated - just about any object oriented language basically forces this to be so.

It is so puzzling I can simply not believe that some other reason than the tired "out of time" excuse isn't at play here. I dunno what, but this is stuff an intern could knock over in a day. I would LOVE to hear a proper explanation by EA about why taking the editing components on rosters and applying them to the same table of data that lives in a CC save file is so damn difficult.

Honestly to me, & say what you want, but I think CC is the single worst addition to ever happen to Madden. People are saying that coach mode is the same as Franchise mode. Uh... no it isn't. I play offline & Franchise mode as I know it is having the ability to control all 32 teams, make roster edits, make realistic trades, play any game I want on the schedule, etc. As a uniform geek I was extremely excited for this year w/ all the new Nike equipment being added & the ability to use that equipment to edit players, & now that all that has been taken away, I feel like I've been repeatedly kicked in the nuts, especially after how long we all begged for complete editing, (and to have Looman say last year how it was important for it to be in game because that's what we wanted) only to have it taken away. To me that's completely unacceptable & total b.s.

But at the same time & as hypocritical as it may sound, I'm still going to buy the game because as someone who has loved Madden & loved playing football video games going all the way back to Tecmo Bowl, & with no other game out there, I have no choice. I'll find some way to enjoy playing it, even if I have to act like I'm playing a dynasty by simming a NFL schedule in Play Now mode. I'm really hoping that editing gets added via update or before the game is released. But with the way things are going there's no way in hell I'm counting on it.

I'd take CC over Ring Builder, Lead Blocker, and BackTrack any day.
