It will be added as DLC at a low, low price of $2.99 per edit.

This is seriously silly. How can we not be able to edit anything? I can see maybe not adjusting ratings during CC, but guys should be able to tweak stuff before going into a CC. Especially for offline or equipment and jersey number edits.

There is decent amount of time before this game is finished still. Who knows.

I never said roster editing was only for a niche audience. I said 32 team control, NCAA import, and fantasy draft were the niche groups hit the hardest. And just because every major sports title released has something, doesn't mean everybody uses or utilizes it.

Look at how many people are upset by this. I would hardly call it a "little thing". That's making me more mad at this point than anything.

I can honestly say it this is not in come end of July (basically the fail-safe), I will never purchase Madden 13. Save my $65 and buy some sneakers or something.

Think about this, the rookies you draft you can never edit them. They have to wear whatever number and equipment to CPU generates for them. So I could potentially have my starting QB, RB or WR looking like this.....

Come on, now. I must be stupid because I fail to see the way not having the ability to edit players all of a sudden makes QB's look like linebackers from the 80's and makes lineman look like punters from the 70's.

I was overjoyed when I read the Connected Careers blog. I was chuckling and finding great affinity for the creative minds behind the new game when I was listening to the podcasts about the intricacies of this game and how it affected the player. It really brought me back to a mindset that I hadn't been in since I was a kid, playing Tecmo on SNES with my brother. I was happy. For the first time in a while, I was genuinely excited for Madden because it felt like they were finally turning the corner.

Since then, it has been one mild annoyance after another that slowly built in a smoldering disdain for a game that I have not yet played. No NCAA importing players. Okay, that's fine with me. I can live without it because it never really worked in the first place. No 32 team control upset me. No editing in Connected Careers (to the point of not being able to change jersey numbers...) made me a sad, panda, but I lived with it (albeit, it wasn't nearly as draconian) in '11 and I figured I could just roll with a heavily edited original roster. Nope. Not any more.

For once, I can rage like a fat kid in a candy shortage. Unless something changes, I'm going to vote on Madden 13 with my wallet.
