Not to go all Allen Iverson here, but the talk about practice bothers me. When I see:

"Also, there is now actual incentive to practice. By practicing, you earn experience points, which in turn grant your player or coach the option to get better."

I get concerned by this. I have a job and a family, so my play time is pretty limited. I want to play games, I don't want to practice. It reminds me of when the previous versions of Madden made you do skills drills to get points. I hated that taking time away from playing the games (especially since they STILL don't allow you to save mid-game - sorry pet peeve of mine). I guess my question is whether my players will still be able to progress if I don't practice at all.

Have you had a chance to look at the Connected Careers website, to get a feel for how that works?

From the screens that have been shown, practice can be simulated if you want.

I do have a question. I read this and the official developer blog over at EA concerning CCM. When playing Madden in the past I have never made it to that 30 year mark as I usually start over halfway through. This mode sounds like you can retire a player/coach in the middle of a career and start fresh with another. Does that mean that an extra 30 years will be tacked on or are you just running on that same clock. Also since i've never made it to year 30, does it just end at that point or can you keep going beyond that?

Yea, hopefully they can work that in for future versions...it would be fun to play on the same team as a friend and work together each controlling an individual player.
