I never used the import feature, I play online pretty much exclusively. And of course there's a chance it might be broken as with every new feature in Madden but for this year this is what they've given us so we might as well just accept it and move on.

We have to accept things that might be broken and move on. instead of making it aware that's in an issue so that it can be fixed.

stop twisting my words, I meant ACCEPT the features which have been included and stop complaining about things that didn't make it in this year until we start talking about Madden 14 because nothing new is going to be added at this point in the cycle other then gameplay tweeks to features which are already programmed into the game. There's not going to be any NCAA import added, no ability to utilize custom playbooks online, etc.

I'm in no way saying we should accept broken features and to suggest that this was my statement leads me to believe that you are dyslexic or just didn't fully read or comprehend the statement before you responded.

@Strawhat he was saying we don't know if its broken yet. also can't make anyone aware of issues that you don't know exist. gotta stop complaining about _________ not making in this year while twitter did. people complaining that their key feature got left out ain't gonna change anything this year, and this thread isn't the place to try and change it in the future.

ea has a site for that. people like the one davidd quoted need to use that instead of making up reasons to hate a new feature in a thread asking how to make that new feature better.

Here's my list:
-The Sklar Brothers (of Cheap Seats fame, @SklarBrothers)
-The Onion Sports Network (@OnionSports)
-Team Accounts (If you run the team, you should run their twitter, too)
-Beat Writers
-Rich Eisen (If he's not already in, @richeisen)
-Bill Simmons (@sportsguy33)
-Coaches that have twitters
-Warren Sapp (@qbkilla)
-Chad Johnson (@ochocinco)
-Mike Mayock (@MikeMayock1)
-Arian Foster (@arianfoster, best twitter account in the universe)
-randomly generated people that only appear in the Trending Topics

Also, I think it would be nice if we could pick who to follow and who not to follow. For example, as someone who exclusively uses the Texans, I don't need to see the 49ers' beat writer in my feed.

Current players would be tough. It would be hard to make them interesting without devolving into parody.

Honestly, Bill Simmons should be a HUGE part of the presentation of this game. Podcasts ala the Tony Bruno show, tweets, etc should all be a part of the game. That dude LOVES madden, and I'm sure would be crazy about it.

instead of wasting time on such a useless feature I would rather see all this time and disc space be spent on figuring out how to edit rosters and draft classes.

That's fine, but that isn't what this thread is about. If you don't want to contribute to this discussion, don't post in this thread.
