No you can turn off HOF players coming back but yes you have to deal with fake players and you have NO CHOICE!!!!

Unless they have Kurt Warner be one of several options of comebacks (Brett Favre, Tiki Barber spring to mind) that's it. If you prefer your storylines to be borne from your years of NCAA production, you're not getting it.

So i cant trade a player before the CC and carry it over???and no NCAA imports???

IS THIS TRUE????????????????/

[kjjnesb]

It has become more and more evident that CC is an online first mode as very little consideration has been given to the offline gamers.

And I'm not buying the not enough time excuse they've blatantly sacrificed consumer functionality for scripted storylines and events that would most likely be broken if we we're to edit our own roster or create our own rookies in mass.

So in Madden 13 with imports gone no pre/in CC roster edits I can essentially only have one created player in the entire damn mode.... That is not a revolutionary career mode that is several steps backwards and signs of an unfinished mode.

Does anyone know if the ratings are still expanded?

It's not just the roster editing, for most people it is a combination of things. Yes, the CC mode looks like it has some real potential and the new engine looks great, but in the process we have lost several features.

Roster editing was an enjoyable feature that I think a lot of people used. Even if they just let us fix the equipment & numbers of players I think people would be happier.

Multiple team control is another missing feature. This pretty much leaves people playing on the same console with one option and that's Play Now mode. Everything else you have to do alone.

Importing draft classes and RTG players is gone as well. It was great to have the ability to use players for four years in NCAA then transfer them over to Madden. This also allowed people with edited rosters in NCAA to get actual college players in the Madden games.

My personal favorite feature couch co-op is gone. I've been playing Franchise mode in Madden for as long as I can remember and the best part was playing couch co-op games with friends and family members.

I'm not denying that Madden has added some nice new features, but they've taken away some great ones in the process.

I have bought Madden since Sega days, but gotta pass this year. I'm all about editing and expanding ratings to make a difference. I'll stick with 10. Best $4 purchase I made in a long time.

This isn't a bash against Donny, but he simply "Does Not" know how rate players within their programming logic to get them to perform in a realistic manner.

One person to judge/decide the perspective on how a Specific Position should react/behave in their game, is just ........!!!

For years the Gaming Community has supplied suggestions w/video's to help utilize their ratings and the manner in which they are programmed to drive animations, to get the most Realistic Gameplay possible.

Since being on Next-Gen for 7 yrs now, this valuable information has fallen on "Deaf" ears although they love to use the tag line "We listened to the community" during their marketing hype phase.

The Negative response isn't just comming from the OS Forum, it's being voiced from every Gaming Forum and social platform available.

"We didn't have time" is simply Horse-pucky because it's already there, it's just "LOCKED" to the gamer.

That's right, they've simply chosen to LOCKED it from the gamer.

If there was a real/logical issue that would arise from allowing Player Ratings Editing and the possibliltiy of problems on the Infinity Engine, then it wouldn't be available for Play Now games, period!!!

It's one thing to force the gaming community to play from the developer's chosen camera angles, but to force gamers to play football from the perspective of "ONE" person is revealing about how they view the Football Gaming Fanbase.

Control and Profits!!!

I had high praise for the Madden Developement and the introduction of a Physics Based System, but to spend $60 on one man's perspective of football, is just _________!

Especially when his roster's has "Always" needed some type of adjusting/editing to make the game play somewhat close to each gamer's perspective of football.

I'll rent as always dealing with any EA Sports game, just to see what the Infinity Engine looks like, but without any ability to edit ratings myself within CC, I'm not going to buy off of "Wishfull" thinking knowing it's plain as day what will arise after release.

I simply want another developer to take a shot at bringing us some Authentic Football at this point.
Just make it Fully Customizable w/out gimmicks, and I'll buy it just cause.

Really!!!!
