Madden NFL 13 Roster Editing Issue Rears Its Ugly Head

I didn't live far from my folks, but far enough that it was out the way. Anyway, I recall getting home after downloading a franchise file and after booting up, I'd realize that I didn't fix Jason Witten's arm sleeves, or I didn't give Marion Barber his dreads. It couldn't be fixed without going back to my mom's and adjusting the file, and then going back home only to realize another player slipped through the cracks. All said, I loved franchise in 2K5. Maybe that's a dose of reality that I need. I hate going backwards and not having editing capabilities in M13, but franchise can still be enjoyed. Meh...

From the main menu In 2k5 you could edit every player in 2k5(name, number, college, hand)(body type,skin tone, face, height, weight(helmet, facemask, eyeblack, mouthpiece, left & right gloves,left and right wrist bands, left and right elbows, sleeves, left and right shoe, neck roll, turtleneck)and also tons of stats.(spent a lot of time with this game)

After you have done that, you really wouldn't need to edit ratings other then rookies. Everyone else can be edited before the season.

Now, I think Madden 12's player editor last year was better in design then 2k5, but I wouldn't be complaining right now as much if we could at least edit players before ccm like 2k5 offered(use them in ccm) and also edit rookies would be nice too!

all you have to do is play the NCAA demo to see that equipment on non licensed players changes every time...and it isn't pretty. McCarren or whatever the qb's name for Alabama is constantly has on a rb robot facemask and horrible accessories.

I know they aren't the same game but this is the same thing that happens to Madden generated rookies and we won't be able to do ANYTHING to change it.

Not correct Azure loves CCM. And we (community event attendees) weren't aware of editing not being added in.

You and Roadman are taking what I say out of context. I sub to the SS, and have been one of the most outspoken people about Madden's gameplay issues...Azure may care about CC, but what about the rest (Moody, Brosales, Apex)... how many vids do they do on franchise, mut, online? The overwhelming majority of their vids deal with gameplay. That is all I was saying. It's understandable that they didn't know about the missing features (I'm certain they do now), but that isn't the channels main purpose... their main focus is on the field.
The sim standard mission statement.

The fact that this thread jumped to 30 pages in just under 16 hours should tell Looman that this isn't just a "small issue."

No knock to GameChangers and Community Day attendees, but this is exactly why I dont trust their previews or initial impressions. Ive been to a few CDs and its very difficult to see through all the presentations and the excitement of playing a new game. Its hard to remember or even think of key questions like Editing when you are looking at the new features. Also there is no guarantee that the developers will give you a straight answer.

This is nothing new. At all. Every year they take stuff out of the game that was in the previous year. Its almost expected....

CC is franchise mode. It's unreasonable IMO to think they should have included two separate franchise modes. A more relevent question would be why didn't they include some sort of single season mode, without all the franchise stuff? That way one could still edit rosters and use them offline in some capacity other than play now mode. Because nobody will waste their time editing rosters for play now mode, that's just insulting.
