Madden NFL 13 Roster Editing Issue Rears Its Ugly Head

[wat3]

I honestly don't know why everyone is so pumped about Madden. What is it that everyone see's? I see a messy RTP engine along with the same thing I've seen since 2011. Out of all the games I've watched on youtube, nothing has really stood out to me. Not one thing. Can someone explain to me why this Madden is so much better than last years?

If you have online accounts for 2 different profiles then that would work, yes. Might need to buy an individual online pass for Madden ($10) I believe. A pain and an inconvenience, but at least somewhat of a work-around until they implement multi-team control back into the game.

So just to clarify... we can't bring in edited rosters into CC (or edit rosters while in our CC) because they "ran out of time"

It's one thing to make terrible terrible terrible game design choices, like say removing the ability to play as multiple franchises or play with edited rosters, and then to lie about it with the lame excuse that they didn't have time to add it in... really? You mean you didn't have time to NOT REMOVE features we've had for years?

I can't wait till these features are brought back in a future Madden and advertised on the back of the box!

I'm excited about it because of CC, all of the stuff that has been taken out doesn't bother me. I'm just looking forward to playing an indepth career mode.

But with that track record, I seriously doubt he would have done a lot more good, especially since he started this whole oblivious act when well known issues with the game were brought up to him, along with a few snide remarks to the community. He started off well but quickly lost focus under the criticism during & after M11 unfortunately. It was most likely Looman's decision and Weber agreed to it, I just don't see Ian caring that much post M10 either way, especially since he tried to tell us Franchise wasn't used much in Madden in the first place.

I agree with everything everyone says about Ian and his direction..i said i thought Mike Young was the right guy...my major gripe i guess, is Ian was alot more upfront on issues and why things were the way they were...these guys here, well you barely get a peep outta them...i just want a detailed logical explanation on why you take out such an instrumental part of the game, thats all

New bells and whistles. Many on this board and many more who are not in the hardcore group go apes*** every year when the first round of info. comes out for this game. Same goes for the hardcore NCAA gamers as well.

Then as the game gets closer to release and especially after release, many here realize that this is an EA Sports game, therefore there are huge gaping wounds (flaws) in it, and it's FUBAR.

most of these guys are online players.....

they could give a rats a$$ at how the CPU plays for offline players like myself.

I have intentions or desire to play online and to me having the ability to re-rate CPU players so that they perform better on the field during a offline franchise was huge for me in Madden 12.

I don't think that EA's default rosters give us the best possible gameplay on the field and this is why not being to edit players ratings is a huge downer for me.
